Forums - Sony - Why do we need Blu Ray?

CaptainPrefrences on 10 March 2008

well for movies it makes your movies go a little beyond 1080p at least thats what ive heard

for games it allows more info to be put on the disc. example if they made god of war 2 for ps3 instead of ps2 they wouldve been able to put it on a blu ray disc and not on a two dsic set.

BR is completely unnecessary, and is a luxary -- DVD was a necessity.

DVD brought to the masses: widescreen, extra features, surround sound, improved quality, relatively low prices for early adopters even at the beginning, ALL NOTICEABLE ON ANY TELEVISION.

BR: a investment minimum of $1000 btw player and TV (a TV that ON PURPOSE displays older content poorly) -- not including a new audio receiver. For ...? Movies are a little sharper, with deeper color. OMG!

And movies still aren't doing anything new interesting w/ extra features yet either, at least until profile 2.0 or whatever. All for $30 per movie that you likely already own or could get crazy cheap.

From playing PC games since the early '90s I learned resolution is really not a big deal. It doesn't magically enhance your enjoyment of a game or product.

 A lot of the uses of DVD (portability, cost, use on multiple TVs in the house) are thrown out the window with blue too. The average person isn't going to shit themselves over nerd shit like BUY THIS BETTER RESOLUTION.


 amazon and WalMart has the movies prices at $24 and below.

And YES IT DOES for single player games, multiplayer you want 800 x 600 resolution or below.  If you really were a PC gamer you would know this. Which is you obvously ARE NOT and NEVER WAS; you DO NOT HAVE A CLUE.
