knightoffire55 01/20/25 1:16:18 PM #1:	So, I just watched the Sony E3 press conference, and they announced the price of the PlayStation 3. Are you ready for this? $599 US dollars. Six. Hundred. Dollars. I mean, yeah, its got a Blu-ray player, but who even owns Blu-ray movies right now? Im not saying it wont be powerful, but that price is ridiculous! Do they think were all made of money? Whos actually going to buy this thing at launch? --- #IStandWithBalanWonderworld <cite>knightoffire55 posted [p:983740844] in The PlaySt...

SwayM 01/20/25 1:21:42 PM #7:	"Now, if you recall that whole hullabaloo where Hollywood was split into schisms, some studios backing Blu-ray disc, others backing HD DVD. People thought it would come down to pixel rate or refresh rate, and they're pretty much the same. What it came down to was a combination between gamers and porn. Now, whichever format porno backs is usually the one that becomes the uh most successful. But, you know, Sony, every PlayStation 3 has a Blu-ray in it."

Did have a shit selection of games at launch though. But even that didn't really matter much. Bluray may have won the battle against hd dvd for the media format of the future, but it was a moot point as we notice the death of physical media slowly loom over the horizon. When bluray came out it was indistinguishable from dvd, bluray players were already upscaling most dvds anyway so difference was negligible and not worth the price for the normal consumer. By the time it was distinguishable, digital had really taken traction. Then the advent of streaming all but carried the end of physical media, for worse or worse. --- http://i.imgur.com/0UFI0T9.jpg <cite>saspa posted [p:983740968] in The PlaySt...

Kuuko 01/20/25 1:26:18 PM #14:	It'll be worth it. Do your own research on "The Cell". It's this super cool new CPU thing Sony invented for the PS3.
