When I first read your post I thouhgt, come on dude. But, as quiet as the PS3 is and as relatively cool as it runs, 'tis theoretically possible, however unlikely, possible.
The failure rate, though minor for consoles, may be too high for Televisions, don't know.
Haven't given up on it yet. Too many XBLA games and too many friends on Live! Between XBLA and Bluray they're both getting equal use but that may change soon with more PSN content coming.
Too soon to kill the 360 brand. It would have to be a new 360 SKU. Not going to happen this year, at these prices. MS is still tyring to hyptnotize people into thinking DDs can replace owning. Once they go Blu, that pipe dream is over. They'll hold out until '09. I predict they won't go Blu before Gears 2.
So much for a Blu Xbox anytime soon. Now way MS eats that cost.
They're not giving up, but it is lame. If Sony makes one they're lame too.
When? This is the bomb. I'm guessing before month's end because Predator releases with DTS-MA on April 15 and most of the releases I've seen scheduled for May or later have DTS-MA. I've been checking out dedicated players for DTS-MA, this will save me a chunk of dough.
When the PS3 does have DTS-MA the PS3 will be very, very strong in the Home Theatre. Throw in GTA IV, MGS4, LBP, Wipeout HD, Bluray releases of Iron Man and Dark Knight (possible bundles) and Sony's 2ndH '08 is l...
Interesting but I wouldn't go all the way to New York for that particular figure.
Can't really argue with you fish. I want to, but ... can't.
Maybe this will drive down cost of 120Hz LCDs.
I understand how anxious you are, I want Wipeout HD already, but these things take time. They have to be stable, secure, and perform as advertised.
This could be a game changer. There's so much anticipation, they can't afford to release a dud. If they do, MS will be all over it.
Given the great sound of XBLA's Geometry Wars, let's hope this makes its way to PSN as well. Should be awesome.
If Sony wanted to give its customers what they wanted, they could have paid the license fees just like Microsoft did, and, which they will end up doing anyway. The PS3 cost so much I think Sony just didn't want to pay, much in the same way Microsoft doesn't want to eat the cost if integrating Bluray into their console.
Obviously MS' HD blunder had a more significant impact than Sony's rumble decision. One reason, there are many like me who think rumble is more or less a bust.
I didn't know of the series, thanks for the info.
They're actually looking into every TCP/IP packet sent from your computer thorugh their routers and reading the contents.
Of course, if a site is using SSL encryption they can't read it. I think this will encourage more and more sites to use SSL.
This could be fun as long as it's more than two-button mashing.
I think with the failure of Vista, and now this. Microsoft may begin to lose some loyal fans. They haven't lost me, but they did help encourage me to try the PS3, and I'm very, very happy with it.
Once users realize just what MS is doing, and just how much more you get with a PS3, there will be backlash, or there will be a new XBox SKU. I just don't think they'll win this one. And given the RRoD fiasco, I'm shocked they're even trying.
Pushin' Bluray is absolutely the right thing to do. After all, it's the biggest advantage it has. Users now know about Bluray and know it's the HD format. No more confusion. With Bluray player costs rising a bit, the PS3 is looking awfully good. Get one of the better Bluray players for $399 and a Next Gen game console with built-in wireless for free.
But they do need to keep working on the online experience and online content. Based on hardware alone, this isn't a contest.
Let them finish the upgraded store then start pimpin'. The playstation store was one of the worst first experiences for me when I got a PS3. They taking the web out of it. After the overhaul, then start boastin' about it.
I still think content is quite thin, but that's improving too. I expect by Christmas all that will be thin is movie downloads.
Those types of threads tend to be less wordy ;>
Price will go down. Movie business is one of selling Razor blades (movies) not players. The PUH price will come down and then Bluray drives will become a commodity. This temporary. With one standard, production lines can focus on one standard.
