Sony took a huge risk on Blu Ray. They have rolled out a few formats that flopped like John Kerry, and have a history of creating formats that don't really catch fire - UMDs, ATRAC, Minidisc, BetaMax. They have more misses than hits. That said, they really, really, really pushed Blu Ray at the expense of their PS brand. They offered the features that studios wanted, and a few studios got paid to side with them. After losing to other formats, they learned from their mistakes and eeked out a victory.

But ... is it really a victory? J6P isn't interested in a $400 Blu Ray player that plays games. It won't be a real victory until Blu Ray breaks the $199 barrier. Then, folks may be interested. Right now, with few folks that have the proper equipment to view Blu Ray the way it was supposed to be viewed, it really makes no sense for folks to buy one now.

In the end, confusion will continue to drive the PS3 sales. Great job, Sony ...

For someone who hates PS3 (and Sony) so much, you show so little intelligence. I'm going to put this in caps lock, since I've said this two you on two separate occasions. SONY IS NOT THE SOLE CREATOR OF BLU-RAY. THERE WERE NINE COMPANIES THAT FOUNDED IT, AND OVER 250 COMPANIES IN THE BDA. THEY DIDN'T ROLL OUT THIS FORMAT SOLELY, THERE WERE OTHER COMPANIES ALSO.

But you won't listen or care. Why should you? You picked the other horse to win, and since it's slowly (but surely) losing it's marketshare to the PS3, what can you do except accept it, but you're not doing that. You're looking more and more delusional as the days go on.


Delusional? For someone to call me a hater of the PS3 - and I own one - is delusional. Sorry, but I don't see the PS3 as being as awesome as you do. PM me your PSN name and we'll play online ... I forgot - you don't have a PS3 yet, right?
