   ‘Titles’ makes the reader assume that its games, its a games console after all… Movies are not games.

   Sony is really gambling with their future by focusing more on Hollywood than games! So far, they’ve already gotten 75 blue-ray movie titles set for launch by the time the PS3 comes out. Yet, PS3 games are constantly getting canceled or delayed.

   And how about price? I recently spoke to a buddy of mine who still works as a supervisor for GameStop in NYC. he told me that the ball park figure for PS3 games will be around $80 to $100. I didn’t want to believe it either. just call any reputable store that carries video games and ask. With prices like that, Sony has got to be kidding!!

   These guys just don’t seem to understand that this freakin’ blue-ray business is what has caused the Wii to earn so much hype. Think about it. The X-box 360 isn’t even considered a contender in the next gen console war. So that leaves us with the choice- PS3 or Nintendo Wii?? From the 1st introduction of the Wii, Nintendo has been all about video games. Those guys don’t believe in gambling. They just want to make stuff gamers enjoy- fun games! $600?? F blue-ray!!

   I can’t beleive how these guys at Sony just can’t see that they’re about to give Nintendo the throne back! That’s what happens when you lose focus on the consumer and become obsessed with competitors and presumed profit margins.

   I still can’t afford a freakin PSP because Sony refuses to acknowledge that gameplay beats graphics- probably the reason why the DS is pouncing on Sony in hand held sales right now.

   The bottom line is that somewhere Sony stopped caring as much about video gamers and became obsessed with producing a machine that could cook, clean, do your homework and file your nails- as if that was suppose to stifle the competition. Im so dissapointed with their dumb assess!!!

   When i got my PSX back in the day then it was the day i stopped buying musik cassestes and started with musik cd’s.

   sure musik cassets were cheaper but people dont want the cheapest people want the best.

   same thing happend when i got my PS2 i totally said bye bye to VHS and move to dvd.

   now its natural then when i get my PS3 bye bye dvd movies ,its all about high. def. flicks baby.

   It’s an obvious step everybody needs to take now ,its the high def. era and dvd fromat needs to die already its not high def.

   i hate it to buy special ediditions of dvd’s and they come in multi-dvd’s,dont even get me started about season’s shows.

   we need 25gb per layer Blu-Ray is needed now ,thanks for Sony putting the best technology in the PS3.

   A growing number of experts don’t think that this new hi-def movie watching scene is rly gonna take off, and I totally agree. I’ve mentioned to friends and family who aren’t in the know about this amazing new format and the reaction is always the same: “Oh… Why?”. Yes, cds replaced tapes very quickly, the same for dvds and vhs, but blu-ray? Hi-res, who cares?

   Especially if it costs more money with fewer options. The main reason is that cds & dvds offered something that tapes didn’t, quality, durability and ease of use. Blu-ray’s just a bigger better picture with bigger better sound IF you have the income to buy a HD tv.

   Blu-ray vs HD? The overwhelming response from average joe up to newspaper columnists is that they barely care about even one hi-res format… let alone a self-defeating “format war”.
