- Sorry didn't use the Filter but c'mon it's not like another "Portland", "mac vs pc", "Tattoo", etc etc postfooler
- True, but there are at least 2 other threads about it, and I don't feel like posting my thoughts about this again.Jaline

sony finally wins a proprietary format!
Good for them, they've been at it since beta max and it finally paid off.
- They need something like this after being a shitty company for the past few years...Jaline
- what? sony kicks ass jaline, you guys in canada are probably getting Fony not Sony..Meeklo
- LOL! @ Fonyflashbender
- lol. But it's true, look at PS3.Jaline
- yes the PS3 kicks ass, and now with the BR victory even more than before, so whats your point then?Meeklo
- wtf? The PS3 is an amazing machine... the only problem is it's too expensive, and it's hard to develop for because it's such a different architecture..Mojo
- a different architecture than anything else. That's why developers are holding off, because it's hard. When the potential is used, the games will be amazing.Mojo
- potential is used, the games will be amazing. Just like how the first PS2 games were shite.Mojo
- i was hoping sony wouldn't win. they're such an arrogant company now this will only make it worse.vwsung18t

I wonder if XBOX 360 will offer a firmware update to play BlueRay
- going to guess on that one and say not a chanceOnesandZeros
- wouldn't it require a new reader. i'd have thought blu-ray would need a tad more than a dvd-player with better software?!?airey

are they gonna get to be cheaper now?

A lot of PS3 players don't even know they have a Blu-Ray player.
- you might be right, but that has to be a minority, only serious players will drop that kind of money on a game system dont you think?Meeklo
- you think?Meeklo
- Jaline your out of your mind. I'm guessing you also think the 360 is the best ever. Right?TheTofuFactory

I am sticking with DVD on a CRT 4:3 screen. Let’s face it, DieHard 4.0 isn’t going to turn into a masterpiece just coz it’s on BluRay.
- i beg to differ!

I'm looking pretty sophisticated with my PS3 with Blu-Ray.

Meeklo, I am talking about the PS3 in a statistical manner. Sales are not as high as expected, and are some of the lowest when comparing everything with the competitors.
Also, there are countless stories like this:
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/p…- Which is why many people were not taking Sony seriously.Jaline
- You can't expect people to pay that much money for a gaming system, no matter what it comes with.Jaline
- you can't expect that people won't respect a legendary brand like sony just because the wii sold more consoles than the ps3Meeklo

I saw the thread title and thought, dayum... rip hd dvds... some 14 year old has already hacked the DRM off this beeatch?
- Jaline0
Anyway, my point was that this death of HD DVD may help Sony out, in terms of both PS3 sales, and in terms of the reputation of the company itself.
- How much must they hate themselves for letting Apple beat them to the “Digital Walkman”?MrOneHundred
- Well said!AndyRoss

I was getting a PS3 for FFXIII anyway but at least now it wont have betamax in it! \o/

Dear Toshiba,
You know your stab at a new technology that wasn't as good as Sony's efford? You know, the one with the boring name?
It just...
...FAILED.
Kind regards,
