Param = Sony spokesperson.
Duh! The question is WHEN???
It is like an ISP offering to wire up your house with a 1 gbps fibre optic connection, and guess what, they will only charge you 100$ for installation. Oh yeah, while they will wire up your house today, service will only commence in 2030.
What am I going to do with the damned thing now??? Until movies hit exclusively in that format, no one will give a damn. For now, DVDs are fine. I don't care for that extra content crap, where the extra content consists of dumb interviews, "the making of POS", and other such supposed goodies.
What have you been kicked out of house or something? That wasn't needed. Just because i support Blu-Ray, like millions others you come up here and call me a Sony Spokesperson. XD. That's lame.
This is the next-generation. People are supposed to create some hype about it. Oooh, oh look there's something new on the block much bigger and better than the DVD! Too bad it doesn't excite you. Guess you need to be handed over a Big Boy e-cookie.
You ask when? well what do you think? Ps3 sells like crazy and promotes blu-ray, and withing a year or two you get exclusivities, it can take longer or less than that, why should i care, what matters is i got a blu-ray player sitting right there at home waiting for the shiny new media to show up. You know it works like like the latest GPU's, i see guys here going out of there way to get them latest 40k one's. Why? 'Cause they're latest! And pretty soon there are going to be the regular. There are always the first one's to get it!
So what's your fuss if state a simple fact that Blu-Ray coming in much cheaper with the Ps3? And that if you buy the Ps3, you'll end up on a much better deal than 400$ one's from Samsung.
To satisfy yourself, i gues you should go out with this poster -
" DON'T BUY A PS3! THERE IS STILL TIME FOR BLU-RAY TO BECOME EXCLUSIVE AND REPLACE DVD'S. DON'T BE A SONY SPOKESPERSON! "
out at the opening day of the Ps3 launch in front of the shops where you will see people camping the night before the store opens. That'll be much effective than calling people names on some freakin' tech forum.
In fact, why don't you wait for the cell to come to PC's and do your stupid linux experiments on that.
I fear for the X360 and HD-DVD fanboys, because pretty soon they are going to be labelled ' Microsoft Spokesperson ' by someone here and which i think is much worse than being a called the one from Sony, i should be grateful. Same goes for Ipod owners, and Sony Ericsoon fan boys, and Nvidia's....
As for graphics on Wii, well graphics don't seem to be a concern to all too many. Why the hell do you think people actually buy into the horrible screen quality of nGage etc? Frankly, for all the next gen graphics and all of new computers etc, they still are no where near the "cinematic effects" they all promised us back when DX9 came in. As far as I am concerned, either effects are cinematic (and we should be happy to spend mega bucks), or they are not and we need only be concerned about clean and pretty looking graphics, not necessarily obscenely megatextured monstrosities.
My turn. "DUH!" i never really said anything on that context. About my Gamecube comment, i guess everyone will be able to see a generations gap between the gfx of a game being played on X360/Ps3 and Wii/Gamecube. I don't care if next-gen bring out cinematic effects or not, its just one step at a time. What i do care is i don't want to be stuck with outdated gfx on Wii, that's my opinion, subject to change, nothing you can do about it.
And ngage just sold miserably. people NEVER bought into the ngage, Nokia themselves said it (A real Nokia Spokesperson that is, not myself, Icefusion or Aka911).
