Awesome, I just hope the Sony Fanboys don't take it to seriously!

BikerMan · 3 years ago

Yeah that was pretty funny, nice to see someone who doesn't take the format war too seriously. I think anomymous might be a fanboy, sshhh don't tell anyone!

William Baker · 3 years ago

LOL wow that was awesome and funny. People need to stop taking stuff so seriously.

ash · 3 years ago

I think somehow that this is actually what the Blu-Ray would say if it could speak.

red · 3 years ago

why must people always reference betamax when speaking of bluray. Has everyone forgotten that Sony co developed cd and dvd. FYI the ps3 also plays sacd. you know sonys proposed sucessor of the cd. And if it doesnt catch on it cant be a bad thing to have in there. Thats why I dont understand why so many people complain about the ps3 having bluray its cleary better than dvd and backwards compatible so how can it be a bad thing. Im also tired of people saying that sony is shoving bluray down their throat. IF YOU DONT WANT IT DONT BUY IT. if you cant afford it you should be mad at yourself before Sony. I mean thats like being mad at lamborgini because they didnt make the diablo in your price range. I can understand someone being dissapointed but it cost what it cost. its not like sonys making gobs of money by selling the hardware. I just thought Id throw that out there.

Buck · 3 years ago

Damn Red calm down. I think its meant to be a joke. Get a life dude!

Randy · 3 years ago

Please tell me you are going to interview HD-DVD, we have to have a second part!

Paul · 3 years ago

The difference between Sony and Lamborgini is that Sony wants everyone to buy the PS3 while Lamborgini doesn't really even have a care if you buy a Diablo. Blizzard has that in hand well enough, though.

jr · 3 years ago

Im sure lambergini wouldnt mind if the diablo sold as well as the ps2 or possibly the upcoming ps3.

james · 3 years ago

While Red does get a little off topic and sounds a little too intense he does makre some valid points as far as the ps3 not being a rip off and actualy a good deal.

Toby · 3 years ago

A good deal! are you blind james? PS3 is a good deal for what you get but it is a piss poor deal for a gamer. Blu-Ray should have been optional, pisssing away the casual market is going to decrease their marketshare by at least 25%. They are launching with almost no games worth 600. I eventually will get one but right now it is in no way a good deal for a gamer. Don't believe that hype man, dont be stupid!

Ben Hobbs · 3 years ago

Very funny, BTW red - Sony didn't invent CD or DVD, CD was taken to the Public by Philips who also took on the administrative role of rolling out DVD's (which was a collaberation of Hitachi, JVC, Matsushita, Mitsubishi, Philips, Pioneer, Sony, Thomson, Time Warner, and Toshiba).

Red · 3 years ago

I did not say they invented it I sayed they co developed it wich they did look it up on wikipedia

Red · 3 years ago

Toby, most casual gamers are just that, CASUAL. They do things other than gaming wich is why sony added more nongaming features. The average jo only uses their computer for the internet and word prossesing. The ps3 has an in house browser and with linux will probably have a word prosceser. so for many it can replace a 300 dollar pc 400 xbox360 and 500/1000 next gen dvd player. Like I said if you cant aford it dont buy it. Sonys just doing what theyve always been doing with the playstation, adding more bonus features apart from top of the line gaming and by doing so have expanded the market. They added cd playback to the ps1, dvd plaback to the ps2 and now bluray a webrowser and mp4 / mp3/image plaback off of the hdd to the ps3. Regardless of what you may think, a new format is definately nessesary. Blurays 50 gigs may not be filled up at first but the 9 gig limit of dvd will deffinately be exceded with the first batch of ps3 games. Take a look at history and youll see that most systems use new formats. Every system that has won a console war used a new format its not a new concept.
PS sorry for sounding like Jim Rome.

James · 3 years ago

At Toby, There wont be any games worth 600 bucks at launch nor have there ever been any single games worth 600 bucks on any system ever. You dont pay 600 bucks for one single game you pay 600/500 bucks for the ability to play over 10000 ps1/2 games and probably thousands of region free ps3 games. if thats not enough you can webrowse, watch dvd movies, watch bluray movies, watch mp4s listen to cds,listen to mp3s/atracs,view photos,download free software/media off of limewire for linux, type papers using linux, and more. You are not going to buy your ps3 for one game youre going to play several and youll probably enloy some of the other features sony has packed into the ps3 as well.

Rick · 3 years ago

Well while we are on the subject, I heard somewhere that sony was going to preinstall some movies or trailers and game demos and music on the ps3. If true it would be pretty cool and would show off what the ps3 can do.

trae · 3 years ago

I heard that to, and I also heard that they might pack in a free bluray movie of spiderman or hitch or one of their movies. hopefuly it will be action packed.

matt · 3 years ago

I wouldnt thought it, they did it for the psp.

j · 3 years ago

good one, i hope HD-DVD answers your call in the near future. i'd like to see what he has to say

Richard · 3 years ago

I have just made contact with HD-DVD reps. They say he will be availible next week!

thisone'sforpapa · 3 years ago

average joe would be looking at the blu-ray in cartridges u posted and go "what is that?". Otherwise, a good laugh.

(if confusing, since blu-ray won't be using cartridges...)

Josh · 3 years ago

These console wars have been bringing me down, thanks for the lift!

ExTester · 3 years ago

This is the lamest thing I have ever read.

Hugh · 3 years ago

No you are the lamest person ever to read it! I smell fanboy!

el moco · 3 years ago

ha. that was pretty funny, since the ps3 will get bodyslammed by the xboxwii60.

it'll be funny to watch sony crash and burn....

UMMMMM · 3 years ago

NICE ARTICLE MAN!

BLURAYSUXRIDJRASSERR!!!!1 · 3 years ago

DOOOD THAT'S HILKARIOSU!!! HAHAHA SONYS SO GAY!!!! BLURAY IS FOR FAGS!!!

billy-bob · 3 years ago

Hmm, looks like PS3 isn't the only console to have idiotic, barely literate fanboys...

metAlAries · 3 years ago

Love the article its funny.

Look the PS3 is expensive for one reason if you want to watch Blue-ray DVD you will need to hook it up to an HDMI TV. Period. Why, because all DVD have copy protection and if you don't use HDMI you'll get an ERROR message. So there goes your crap shot about watching Blue-ray DVD on a regular tv.

(insert name here) · 3 years ago

w00t, that article was very enjoyable, as for the ps3, u are getting a sh*tload for 600$, heck the 500$ one has the same power. Blue ray players are running at 1000 bucks, while you get the same thing plus an amazing gaming system and some pc abilities such as searching the web. the PS3 is a very powerful machine worth 600$ or 500$, but is still very expensive if you already have the 360 and a good computer, as for me, i'm thinkin christmas
