Sony will never learn. Using their game system to spearhead new formats didn't work with PS3 and likely won't with this. Guess they're intent on learning the hard way!

They're not pushing a new format, they're just placing higher resolution footage on the same blu-ray disc. 

I was talking about the TVs, though "format" was the wrong word to use... :/

It worked very well with the PS3 though, same with the Xbox. Many people bought HDTV's for HD consoles.


I don't doubt that.  I just think it might be too soon to upgrade again even if this would be two years out.  Not to mention 3D didn't exaxtly light the world on fire either.  It's like: "upgrade to HD", then "upgrade to HD + 3D", and now "upgrade to super HD".  I just think it might be a bit much.  And Sony's TV business hasn't been doing too well and I don't think this will catch on as fast as they would need it to.

I'm skipping the HD + 3D upgrade, I'll wait for 4K. That is much more up my alley.
I've had an HD ready tv in '02, HD tv cable box since '03, 1080p tv since '06, an upgrade in 3 years to 2160p sounds about right.

Hopefully 4K tv will light a fire under the cable companies asses to up there crappy 6-7 mbps mpeg2 1080i broadcasts. The best picture quality I've had in the passed 2 years was when the cable went out and we could pick up 1 analog channel by aerial. Not as sharp when standing still but rock steady during flashes and high speed action.
