1. Comment - Sony reportedly in talks with Microsoft on Blu-ray for Xbox 360

   (Mar 11, 2008 - 3:28 AM)

   SGD and Hollywood, well said. I have always found it funny how people get on their bandwagon about their respective console religion. like the post I started yesterday, people just assumed that i was pro 360 and anti ps3. for the record, I'm pro consumer, whatever is best for the consumer. BOTH consoles have strengths and weakness. People, just chose which console has more of what you want and go that way. easy. me, I have both so I get the best of both worlds.
   now lets all hold hands and look forward to great games, and now we have one optical format, some great movies too.

   gate1975mlm thankyou very much for the personal attack once again proving how immature the sony fanboys are. now before you go flaming me again, read what i said, i never said the ps3 cant do 1080p, if you actualy read what i said, the game developers are releasing alot of the high profile games as 720p only for the PS3.
   now before you go making more silly comments, educate yourself about what you want to say such as READING a persons post.

   "Takahashi reports that he raised an important technological point, however, and raised it directly to Glasgow: Xbox 360 games require a fast launch time for discs which Blu-ray may not be able to provide."
   That would mean "too slow".
   As for digital downloads, too far off, 2015+, id like you to walk into Steve Job's office and tell him that, as well as the entire movie industry...im sure that the people at netflix would appreciate that too. Face it people Bluray is the last of the optical format for main stream consumers.
   Reason, its not about the technology, or about how much a disk can hold, its about the distribution, its about control. People, and im talking mum and dad consumer here, not the fanboys, dont care about hidef, teenagers dont care about quailty, if they did iTunes wouldnt be the nunber two retailer of music in the US. What people want is ease of use, they want to be able to sit back in their lounge chairs with a remote and rent a movie. Microsoft, Apple, NetFlix just to name three know and understand this.
   hidef gaming, now i never said that the PS3 is limited to 720p, read my post...i said that the games that the studio houses are putting out are limiting them, dont belive me, check your sony ps3 games documentation, its right there if you care to read it, Devil May Cry 4: PS3 720p, 360 1080p, Assassins Creed the same, COD 4 the same etc... not many support 1080p for the ps3 at the current time. Now i will admit this might not be true in all markets...but it is true in atleast the 2 that i care about.
   all the technology in the world is great for the fanboy, but for mum and dad consumer who dont have a hdtv, hidef is meaning less, only less then 5% of the US population have hidef, in australia its less then 1%, to these people spending $3000+ on a tv and another $400+ on a player is not in the relm of possibility.
   what can they afford, a little box like the appletv? sure why not, they like apple itunes, xbox 360? if marketed correctly sure why not, we get games too, a pc? hey they already have that. People stop being fanboys and look at the world for what it really is and what people actualy want...

   Its really funny how many of you really just don't know what your talking about. Xbox Fanyboys and all those Ps Sony fanboys who are so outspoken beating their chests about how wonderful their new bloated PS3's are. Oh and if they actualy checked the wonderful 1080p content of the PS3 they would find they only run at 720p where the 360 equil is actaly at 1080p. here is a lesson for all of you, Microsoft have no interest in HDDVD or BulRay, the only reason microsoft got behind HDDVD was for their own ends...to draw out the Hi Def war as long as possible. Microsoft has had more then enough money to end the war at any time. Why didnt they...maybe thats the question you should be asking yourselves. A Bluray add on by microsoft makes sence, they need to support the only hidef optical format out there, which is now bluray, only makes sence...and for all of you read the article...they wont put a bluray in for games as it is too slow for load times. And having games on bluray would not improve a game, it would just add more cinematics and reduce the gameplay.
   ok you can start to flame me now if you like, just to prove how little you do know.
