So, no one wanted a next gen format? I for one would hate to be stuck with DVD's for another 10 years what with all the HDTV's and the sheer size of modern games and media.
I don't get you people, CD's were a natural descendant of floppy's and cassette's, DVD's were a natural descendant of CD's, so why the hell is a new format that is heaps better on all accounts unnatural now?!
And, its not like DVD discs and burners were cheap when they came out... One of my friends bought one of the first one's available here, is cost over 4500NOK at 4x burning speed.
Come on, give Sony a break. They like technology and are not afraid of backing it 100%, which can't be said by too many other companies.
I for one welcome the HD format, realizing that the lack of such would effectively render all modern TV's nearly useless.
And please don't give me the "downloadable media" excuse either, so far only a measly 7-8% of the world's population have proper broadband while movie retailers and outlets have over 70%, optical media ain't going nowhere anytime soon...
People just love to hate Sony and all their products for some reason, we all need to grow up and start complaining that new tech is costly, it always is, but when Sony is fronting that tech its completely uncalled for it seems.
I hate to come off as a fanboy, but the Sony bashing and groweling in here is simply unbelieveable at times.
