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

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

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!

between steve erwin and my own experience with sting rays, I will never embrace this. Long live cassette tapes!

Jaline - you have lost your mind. PS3 is last because it came out a year later than the 360. It may have lost the price battle with the Wii but against the 360, it only is behind due to when it was released and the shortage of released systems. If the PS3 came out a year earlier than the 360, you'd see it in the lead by far.
- and to say sony lost credibility.. they own everything broadcasting wise.. everything you watch, was made on sony gear..Meeklo

Hopefully now Apple will pull their finger out and slap a Blu-ray superdrive in a MacBook Pro.

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,

Wow, you guys are pretty touchy about Sony.
TheTofuFactory, for younger people Sony is known for Playstation. Of course, it's a huge company with so many ties to everything, but I am specifically talking about credibility in terms of gaming.
PS3 may be one of the best gaming consoles, but it will always be compared to the X-Box 360 and the Wii, no matter when each one came out. Monthly sales are quite important. Sony obviously had marketing issues, and they are starting to redeem themselves. Now that Blu-Ray is winning, the sales should go up and possibly surpass the other consoles, primarily the X-Box.

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 have a soft spot for Toshiba because their laptops never gave me problems (compared to Macs and other PC brand names). But yes, it was a losing battle for them.
