By far superior u mean barly right? Because Ive seen screens and videos for both, and PS3 has been less than stellar.



Blu-ray is laughable, no game uses the space blu-ray provides. I have a feeling im gonna see another Divx player in the making here. UMDs wont catch on either. Sonts choice of storage has not been the greatest. HD-DVD is going to reign supreme, due to the fact that HD-dvd players play dvd's and well are just more for the everyday person.

Dude you do know that most people said that about DVD's. Blu-ray is just the new thing thats going to make the other thing (DVD's) obsolete. And every new thing that comes out is going to be wayy expensive. DVD's were and Blu-ray will be too.

I won't buy it. I'd rather buy a game system that's built just to play games. I'd rather save up a few extra hundred dollars and just get a computer, considering that's what the people at Sony are calling the PS3.

Blu-ray disks are very expensive to begin with. And its not in a dominent market. HD-DVD's can be played on normal DVD players. Just without HD. Blu Ray has no backwards compadable...as i said..i smell DIVX player rehash. (If your wondering, DIVX players battled against DVD's and lost terrible.)

Blu-ray is going to have alot of space for more than one movie on it.

alright i never said it wouldnt. Im just stating, Blu-ray isnt going to make it. Blah Edit: They both can play DVD's but i had my info mixed up somehow Either way tho, Blu-Ray is alot mroe expensive than HD-DVd players and the Blu Ray disks are expensive.

Like i've said people thought Tapes would never go out, then came DVd's and it was around the same price for the players like $600-$800. And look now people are buying DVDs insted of Tapes. I can see people buying the $600 playes the frist day. Then later on they will drop in price.

Most likely for a while they will make movies in Blu-ray and DVD format, then they'll switch to Blu-ray.

Yeah but then DIvx wanted to come into DVD's domain, people bought it, and it failed terrible, do you even remmeber the divx player?

Im saying if something tries to take DVD's domain its not gonna work, people like the sameness.

The idea of Divx was that you would buy low-cost discs that you could take home and use for a few days, after which time they would "expire" and become unusable, unless you paid an additional usage fee. Unlike DVD's, which consumers can buy and use for as long as they like, Divx discs kept control of the media directly in the hands of the media distributors.

That's where the rippers and the pirates come in. XD Although the possibilities of forging are getting more and more limited. I think that's the main reason why Sony wanted all-new technology with PS3 -- Hackers may be able to find a way to rip games off of the DVD discs used in most PS2 games, and restore them in emulators so people can play them for free...

All u need is a mod chip and a couple dvd ripping programs. Trust me. I would have done it with my PS2..but a mod chip and the programs costed alot....well one of the programs. And now i think the Ripping programs are free, but Illegal.

And i hope u guys saw..one of the Ps3's at E3 froze *chuckles* Thats not a good sign.

that defenatly not a good sign *sigh* But nethir is the fact that you admitted to riping games...

Have you ever stolen something or told a lie? You have?! Well, then you might as well have ripped a game. It's so common, people do it left and right now -- it's hardly anything to be ashamed of amymore -- but, of course, that still doesn't mean it's not wrong.

No im not admitting to it, all my games are legit. Im just saying its not hard to break encryptions. You just need the right programs (i dont have em cuz they relle mess up ur comp.)

ya I know but still it just bugs me that people do that.... nvm about above post...
