Good to see that other people are also looking out for the ultimate affordable stand-alone player. Until then the PS3 will do.

No PS3 fanboys allowed all we care about is how the blue ray player is on it not everything else it does. If i wanted that i would have searched it.

I also have to disagree with the laserdisc comparison. Laserdisc failed for multiple reasons: weak studio support, cost ($60/disc), loud & clunky players, oversized discs, and the fact that you had to flip discs in the middle of the movie. Blu-ray faces none of these disadvantages (aside from cost which is becoming less of an issue as time goes by). LD vs. Blu-ray is a case of apples & oranges.

Blu-ray will become mainstream. It will take longer than DVD for sure, but it will happen. The fact that people don’t care about the better picture (which I would disagree with but let’s say you’re right), one reason people hopped on DVD was special features. It’s why studios constantly double-dip titles They know people want to see the new features. Blu-ray is expected to produce whole new interactive features which will hook the crowd eventually. The best hasn’t come yet though.

I don’t think Blu-Ray will become mainstream like DVD. It will probably be like laser discs were. Blu Ray may look better, but most people don’t care about the difference in picture quality enough to fork out more money and buy all their movies over again (especially since the jump from DVD to Blu-Ray isn’t near what the jump from VHS to DVD was, and a lot of people just switched from VHS to DVD within the last 5 years and are not ready to make the switch all over again so soon).

im not sure about blue ray becoming standard soon
but what i know is that mgs4 is not reason enough to buy a gaming console (well, maybe yes the game looks bloody awesome, and im a fan to the series)cause is the only “cannon” game in whole console, plus i already have a pc,and even better, a laptop, so why should i want to buy a home console to browse the web, play movies,hear music,”etc” i mean is a GAMING console made to PLAY GAMES,nothing more,nothing less,i almost miss the ol gaming days

Ok I just looked up wikipedia and they say this is what the updates are all the updates from 2.10 and older firmware, the operating stability of some online PS3 format software has been improved, and finally support for PS2 games with optional and mandatory installs.

LOL DVD rewinder. Nice. Anyway to bring you upto date the firmware is now 2.17. I updated it just last night. NOW what that has, I am not sure yet but I’m sure it will make my PS3 experience a bit better(though not exactly sure how just yet).

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Dude, I got the PS3 before I got the Xbox 360 or the Wii. Sony always steals the show, come on, the top selling DVD player of all time is the PS2, along with the PS3 being the all time best selling Blu-ray player. The PS2 has sold over what now? 232 Million consoles I think it is now? Don’t doubt Sony for a damn second.

Hey Chris,

I totally agree with you on the cons. I personally think there is nothing wrong with VHS and DVD. If you compare an SDTV set with HDTV set side by side, the image quality is not that mich different. I think DVD and even VHS quality are fairly good. I would prefer DVD though because it will play on my PC and won’t wear out.

Thanks!
