i would laugh hard at how many xbox fans will be like 'blu ray is the best! look my xbox has bluray' after all the shade they threw at sony.. it would be interesting.. |
It wouldnt bother me. If they use it for games so be it. I still wont be buying bLU Ray films. I have 1080p films on Xbox Live. Al of them which are impossible to scratch or break. Wy would I go backwards in my technology just because its there.

Personally, I prefer the 5.1 and 7.1 uncompressed audio and the extras you'd find on an optical disc. So having more content and higher quality audio going backwards in technology? You must be humoring yourself.
|
Aren't Bluray discs supposed to be pretty hard to scratch, unlike CDs and DVDs...
|
They aren't impossible to damage, but they are far more scratch resistant than CDs and DVDS.
|
I haven't heard of many reports anywhere saying people have had their Blurays scratched all to hell and back, like with CDs and DVDs :P
Of course, I take extra special care of my discs, so maybe I'm just the exception.
|
And I still have plenty of CDs and DVDs, and they all work fine. Doesn't the Xbox 360 employs DVDs as a game storage medium? So wouldn't settling for the Xbox 360 over the PS3 would be going backwards in technology according to Seece's Selnor's logic?

fixed, and yes, blu-ray uses a special hard-coating that protects the disk from nearly any possible scratches.
and I, like you prefer bluray's uncompressed 1080p at a 40mbps bit rate. and uncompressed sound tracks such as Linear PCM, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS Digital Surround, and DTS-HD. and i kind of like the whole 1080p 3d content it provides, and the breadth of feature sets it has, such as BD live, all the special features that you can overlay during movie playback. i also like not having to either wait for the video to buffer, the average at best "HD" video stream, or wait for very long periods of time for the compressed video and sound "1080p" video download. and i dont really care to much for being dependent upon not only having to have access to internet, but also the speed of it. and then of course there are tons and tons of people that either dont have internet or subpar speeds for it. So sticking to a disk format goes without saying for the next generation of consoles, if not for the size of the games for next gen, which will easily be surpassing 30Gb (Uncharted 3 is 49GB).
i dont know though, maybe its just me.
