| Skeeuk said: i cant understand what the big fuss is about. its as if some people are claiming that sony are not going to do digital distribution of hd movies, when in fact they are. bluray and hd-dvd for that matter are far far superior than a DL or a STREAM title. theres simply no collectablity on digital distribution at all, but on bluray there is. bluray and hd-dvd have a better quality picture, better sound and better features for thse who have very fast connections then the DL rental scheme will work best for them for those who just want to watch a movie. i on the other hand have no intention of paying extra to upgrade my net speed solely for digital distributed movies. theres no way a studio will release thier film on digital 1st, they will release it on dvd and bluray digital dist. imo, is a kind of add on, it will be there for ppl who want to take advantage of it. when the time comes and it wont be anytime soon, you will find digital as the norm, but i will always pick a bluray to keep rather than shell out for a digital version. |
You are right about quality but that is not the point.
It is way too expensive for having the superior quality for now...
Mass market would enjoy digital ditribution rather than blowing money on a high-tech installation.
Remember also that hardware = low margin ; digital content = high margin.
They want to sell movies and content, not expensive piece of hardware... quality is something relative for the moment I guess.
Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.
