Dallas, you might want to notice that the tree your looking at is part of a forest. I'm not even going to bring up points there are far too many and many other have pointed them out already. Just a point
BR is part of a consortium not sole propiertership. If/When MS uses BR MS has far more muscle with the other companies than to be concerened with Sony.
Otherwise look at a bunch of the other answeres.
Anyways can someone actually provide a real link with real specs on the CPU required for BR. I bet it's not that high. Also don't bother with PC spec requirements. I am reffering to an actual dedicated BR player.
More than likely the CPU are very low. Instead what you have are dedicated decoder chips or reader chips. This is why the Wii doesn't have DVD playback. They only have reader chips not decoder chips. If the Wii wanted to play DVD they would either have have the decoder chip or bridge it in software. If anyone can prove i'm wrong.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
