I played the BR of Transformers on my PS3 linked with a Marantz A/V receivers and some Bowers & Wilkins loudspeakers.... sweeeet



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

Sorry this is a little late but I completely forgot about updating it.  

Blu-ray sales for week ending 6/28/09.   Total sales and DVD are both down YoY,  but Blu-ray is up.

Top 20 selling Movies

Not surprised to see Transformers at the top with the second one making its box office debut that week.

This is another chart,  its tells a better story about how well Blu-ray is doing.   Its the percentage vs DVD of specific titles.

Blu-ray sales for week ending 7/05/09.   Total sales and DVD are both down YoY,  but Blu-ray is up.

Its actually a decent Blu-ray player, it will Bitstream both lossless audio formats, 7.1 compatible, 1080p/24p and Bonus View.

When they bring prices down to much less ridiculous levels, I'll buy in. One of the other things hurting it, is there are people like myself who wanted to buy every DVD under the sun that they enjoyed. I have over 300 DVD's, and there is no way that I am going to replace all of them with Blu Ray.

^ Well,last year was your lucky year then. Blu-ray players for 100 dollars! Yippee! and guess what? They even throw in a free DVD player with every purchase. (Only while supplies last)

I should have been more clear. The movies are too expensive for my tastes right now.

Prices are coming down, there are close to a hundred blu-rays available for $15 at both Best Buy and Amazon.

People, face it: Blu-ray is going to be the mainstream media in five years or less in Developed countries and maybe 10 for undeveloped countries.

The same thing happened with VHS and DVD.  There are a lot of bargain titles out there these days, and there will continue to be more as the list of title available expands, but don't expect Blu-Rays to cost the same as DVD's.  That's just not how it works.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
