Sony was asking for trouble regarding price when they put Blu Ray into the PS3. Lowering the price and having Blu Ray at the same time was a double edged sword, so either way they take punishment, no one can say they don't deserve it.

When Sony put the BR in the PS3 they were making sure that the cosole, like the other two iterations of the playsation family was a pioneer in the market.

 

At the time a comparable BR player was $1200 plus!

 

Double edge sword = Less possibilities for piracy + Massive content storage

 

Sounds like a win win situation to me friend :)

 

 

 Sony keeps reiterating themselves. They knew selling PS3's at drastically low prices with BR in it was going to be a slow process if they wanted profit. It still is a double edged sword, you just refuse to see it because of your loyalty. I have no loyalty to gaming companies, because I am the type of person who purchases what I like without need of attachment. Sony isn't pioneering crap with Blu Ray. The PS3 was a sacrifice to save Blu Ray when so many companies were investing in it and weren't seeing profit. Don't ever say BR cannot be pirated, because it can and everyone who cares to do it will eventually have the knowledge, similarly to the PS2. Sony cripped themselves by trying to force a dying product that wasn't needed into the market. HD-DVD died and Blu Ray should've gone with it in the natural scheme of things. Blu Ray is just another DVD with more space. There is nothing special about it in the long run.


Really?
