I buy more movies than anyone I know, and I have around 350 DVDs and only 4 Blu-rays.
The main problem is I can only play Blu-rays on my PS3, whereas I can watch DVDs on any of the 10 DVD players around my house, and with friends and relatives, none of whom have PS3s.
If Blu-ray is going to become the next standard, the price of Blu-ray players needs to reach the $100 range before digital downloads catch on. It will be interesting to see who wins that race. Personally, I doubt that will happen, so I think some form of digital downloads will be the next standard. Blu-rays will still exist even if that happens, but then so did LaserDisc, Betamax, UMD, etc.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
