Nyko introduces BluWave PS3 remote, ships PS3 Charge Base {Joystiq}
Jun 27th 2007 4:14PM I'll wait for Harmony to come out with a Bluetooth/IR remote that doesn't require a dongle. I can always give my fiancee my current Harmony when they do.
The format war: What's in a name? {Engadget HD}
Apr 25th 2007 3:57PM From www.blu-raydisc.com:
"The name Blu-ray came from the fact that the laser beam which reads the data from the new discs is blue instead of red which is used for current DVDs and CDs. This new blue laser is at the heart of Blu-ray Disc technology (i.e. blue ray of light)."
The term "Blue Ray" couldn't be used because it isn't a copywritable phrase.
Funnily enough, the confusion around the name hasn't hurt sales. I guess as long as they keep it in a Blue case, it'll be easy enough to find at your local Best Buy...
The Wal-Mart $299 HD DVD player on the way {Engadget HD}
Apr 20th 2007 2:32PM It would be awesome if these "Blu-ray HD DVD" Players were combo players at $299. But that's just wishful thinking...

Apr 19th 2007 7:23PM This is really ridiculous. If your format is the dominant one, you don't NEED to have a "buying day" to support it. You should be able to just make your purchases anytime.
>But how many first-person-shooter movies are there? Oh. Doom. But that's only on HD DVD.
I bought my PS3 specifically as a Blu-ray Disc player. And I own a standalone HD DVD player. I haven't bought Doom. Just because its primarily a Video game machine doesn't mean some people haven't bought it primarily as a cheap Blu-ray player.

Apr 18th 2007 4:13PM So HD DVD has sold the same number of players as Casino Royale has sold Blu-ray Discs...
HD DVD fires back: HD-A20 in April for $499, 70 movies on the way {Engadget HD}
Mar 28th 2007 5:01PM If HD DVD can get Fox or Disney to switch, we'll have a real fight. But with Universal as their only exclusive backer, I'm reluctant to buy anymore HD DVDs. Cheaper players don't help if you can't get the movies you want on the format. I'm sure more than one HD DVD owner picked up a PS3 this year.

Sony's BDP-S1 has landed, finally! {Engadget HD}
Nov 29th 2006 8:54AM Now I have to decide whether to order this player, or wait for a PS3...
Did anyone catch the BDP-S1's cameo in Casino Royale?
How many Wii controllers will you buy? {Joystiq}
Nov 20th 2006 12:53PM Already got 3 Extra Wiimotes and Nunchaku, plus 2 virtual console controllers. Y'know, since I have the extra $600 lying around now...
Anti-Wal-mart senator tries to get PS3 from... Wal-mart {Joystiq}
Nov 17th 2006 10:45AM Walmart doesn't make any money on PS3 anyway. He could have bought the console with no accessories and games, and buy those at Best Buy. That'll show 'em!
