Asia-Pacific Sony VP suggests Blu-ray Discs will outsell DVDs by 2011 {Engadget HD}
Aug 2nd 2008 5:26PM It's hard to believe how short sighted people are. 2011 is quite a way off. Analog T.V. hasen't even been shut off yet. Just think how many people are going to be going into stores at the start of March and saying things like "my T.V. dosen't work anymore, I need a new one" It still works; but there are lots of sales people that are going to be selling cheap HDTV's with digital cable pakages, and chances are that by March of Next year; becasue of Chinese BD players hitting shelves before christmas '08. All the big guys will be doing promos so they can "sell" their BD players with their T.V.'s. It's really going to be a shock to some people around Christmas 09 when chepo brand BD players are on the shelves at Wal Mart for $125. It just still blows me away that bloggers think that giant companies that make millions(billions) of Dollars don't know the things that you ppl know. They KNOW that BD has to come down in price fast, way faster then DVD, they are just simply sucking people in slowly to get as many impulse buyers as they can this year($$$). Which sucks and is the reason that I bought and supported HDDVD. Life goes on.
Microsoft's Greenberg slams Sony's failed promises {PS3 Fanboy}
May 9th 2008 10:10PM Not sure if anyone made this point yet, I didn't read all 121 comments. However a human being that can't add should never been given the right to speak in public. Quote from the interview: "Think back to GDC 2007 when Sony promised to leap ahead in online with the Sony Home unveil. Here we are two years later and multiple delays for a product...."
When was GDC 2008 again? Oh ya hasen't happened yet..... SO here we are not even a year later; and M$ is trying to pull whatever they can to stay ahead of the PS3. This man is a shill and a moron!!!
Eric Lempel talks PS3 firmware 2.20 {PS3 Fanboy}
Mar 25th 2008 10:47PM I have a 60gig, there seems to be an issue with playing Divx files over 2gig's. It only comes up with corrupt data, however the file plays fine on my pc.. Interesting......
PS3 2.20 update is out, get your BD-Live while it's fresh {Engadget HD}
Mar 25th 2008 3:03AM I could give a shit less about 2.0; give us DTS MA... There are lots of BD's with DTS MA.... Also is there any real proof that the PS3 is unable to bit stream HD audio. Or is this just a rumor? I understand that it can't do it right now(the horse is dead). I just can't find any real proof that the HDMI port in the PS3 in unable to send HD audio. Any help would be great, thanks.
Why the PS3 isn't the best Blu-ray player {Engadget HD}
Jan 2nd 2008 4:06PM I have a 2808 pretty much the same thing(different video processor, and the 3808 has 20 extra watts per channel). NO the PS3 will not bitstream TrueHD or DTS HD or MA; and NO you are not getting any form of DTS MA track out of your PS3. Your "A/V guy" sounds like a salesman trying to make some money. I was talking to a chap at SECA, about this issue, and he hinted at the fact that in the future the pS3 will decode and bitstream DTS MA and DTHD, I guess we will just have to wait and see.....
Sony admits (part two): two million units strong! {PS3 Fanboy}
Jan 16th 2007 4:36PM lol everyone sayd that the ps3 is selling horribly and that they are sitting around. but if you look at the numbers the ps3 has sold 2 million ps3's in 2 months. that means that by 1 year after its release there should be 12 million ps3 sold. xbox only sold 10 million after 1 year and one month
Exactly. Also Can you imagine how many blu-ray movies will be out there if there is that many PS3's in a year. OOo that's gotta sting if you are in the HD-DVD camp

Blu-ray sales up 700%, edge into a lead over HD-DVD {PS3 Fanboy}
Jan 13th 2007 9:46PM Ya pervs can get there porn on-line.
With all the company's that are producing blu-ray and a company like warner developing a hybrid disk so there movies will be on blu-ray, why would it fail. BD movies will take over becasue anyone who watches one is pretty much hooked. All I keep thinking is why anyone would think that 1080i is better, when almost everyone I know changed ther DVD player to a progressive scan a few years back(480i to 480p you know). Why even bother with interlacing when it seems most people prefer progressive scan. Also all this talk about triple layer HD-DVD's and quad BD. That is the next gen stuff what ya seen now is what you get. There has been a HDV disk that has been rumored for a year that is 200 gb, but that is for 10 years from now. So if you want to wait ten to twelve years to jump into the HI-def world that's your choice, but bashing ppl for something that there system has that they are talking about seems ignorant.
The second Xbox 360 revealed: codename Zephyr {Engadget}
Jan 10th 2007 6:11PM Ha ha. It's too bad those 10 million people out there just helped line Bill Gate's pockets. Even this new version with a fancy new HDMI connection and bigger hard drive is OLD!. If I owned a 360 I wouldn't even bother with a new one that produces 1080p(BS the xbox native res is 1080i). It still doesn't have a HD/DVD drive intregrated. They are just trying to catch-up untill they release there new system. PS3 has an upgradable hard Drive, so if 60 gig's isn't enought, Im sure the 200 gig that has been rumored for the Ps3 should hold you for a while. Seriously don't bother spending another $400 for the system and $200 for the HD/DVD add on just spend the $600 on the 60 gig PS3 and realize that there games are on BLu-ray not DVD's so the system will actually be usable in 4 years. Remeber all you 360 guy's if they start putting games on HD/DVD for the 360 you'll have to upgrade.
Surprise! LG to debut dual format Blu-ray & HD DVD player at CES {Engadget}
Jan 4th 2007 9:17PM If they aren't brave enough or smart enough to do that, then whatever losses they suffer are their own collective fault. And if we the consumers want to end this war (and ending the war is in OUR best interests) we need to boycott BOTH formats and buy up-converting DVD players until these geniuses end this madness. This whole thing (format war) is idiotic!
They are looking out for YOUR best intrest that's why compnays are relesing Hybrid disks and players. The player more importantly because it alows you to buy either and as long as you have the better 1080p(look into this carfully) input on your T.V., your Okay. I think you might be the ignorant one for thinking that watching up-converted DVD's is anything like BLu-Ray's. Notcie they are getting this out there when the majority of people are looking into buying HD stuff. They got there feet wet with peole who could afford both and seen that the 75% of pepole that were gong to buy now want a simple solution. Here it is. So instead of being negative look for the good man. You'll live longer.
