Sony's "Ace in the hole"...

[shams]

Kwaad said: One. If sony implements BT on my PS3 and I cant turn it off. I will not buy anything, and I will probibally sell my PS3.

It won't happen, don't worry ;) And if it did, Sony would limit it to say 1k/sec - enough to be fair to everyone.

Second. A DVD is compressed in MPEG-2. I have one of the *original* HD-DVDs. All they were was a MPEG4 compression on a DVD. Let's just say. You can fit a 2 hour HD movie in 5gb. I think you can easily fit a DVD in well under 800mb. I got Kingdom of Heaven, compressed down to about 500mb for my PSP. I promise you. Useing h.264 the games are MUCH bigger than SD video content. and PS2 games are about the same size as a h.264 movie.

This is one of my biggest issues with BluRay. It uses the same crappy compression technology... right? So why not just take a high definition movie, use a GOOD codec, and release it on a 9Gig DVD? Some existing DVD players would already play them (i.e. mine!), and it wouldn't cost that much to upgrade DVD players to support this fully? Why pay $1000US for the same thing???
