So you don't watch the news I take it? Or read any magazine?

Really, the price shit got huge media attention.

I'm not getting one anyway. I was, but fuck that shit, I'm getting a 360 in a few months.

Pretty sure that's why they have been marketing it as more than a console. You know, the whole low cost Blu-ray, media center, central hub for entertainment. Not just a gaming console.

The only real selling point to the entire console is Blu-ray. If you don't have the want for Blu-ray right now, the PS3 shouldn't even be a consideration because, let's face it, if blu-ray gets big enough the player prices will plummet anyway in 2-3 years and will more than likely have upgraded features, like support for more layers and what not.

So really, even if you DO buy it for Blu-ray, within five years it will likely be the inferior player anyway.

It will only be inferior in 5 years if it loses the format war.

DVD and the new generation of format are so close together only because of the shift ot high definition, and it's unlikely we'll see another format overtake it any time soon.

On the other hand, early adoption of a Sony Video game system strikes me as stupid, with all the flaws in their previous systems. Not to mention backing a new Sony format, when they've been pretty consistantly on the losing side of every format war.

This is a really bad time to be lining up for a system.

When I said it would be inferior I was referring to the upgrades that will likely come to the format. DVD, for example, came out with dual format DVDs, which some older DVD players can't play. If they up the layer count on the Blu-ray, the PS3 would not likely be able to read the higher-density discs.

Of course, this is all assuming that they did do that.

That is the ONLY game that I will even consider buying a PS3 for near the end of it's life.

I'm hoping it's ported to the 360.

Blu-ray was made to be future-proof by simply adding more layers to the discs. If they come out with any new formats, which I don't see them doing, then it won't be until the end of the PS3 life. So really, there's no need to worry about the PS3 not being a suitable Blu-ray player for it's life span.

Of course, this is all assuming that they did do that.
Except they did learn from that mistake, and this one is designed to read up to like 8 layers or possibly more. I'm hard pressed to think of what medium in the next 5 years will require more than 200 GB of space.

I doubt the players themselves will be outdated, thought doubtless more features will come along for other players.

There are worse ways. Most of them involve investing stocks in UMDs though.

Naw,m the PSP's fine, it's just the UMD is a horrible idea, is horribly inferior to existing technology, and is already being wiped out of the market. Almost no movies are coming to UMD, for example. This is mostly Sony's own hubris, but there's also this whole planning thing. You can get a DVD for 20 bucks, or a PSP movie for 20 bucks. Which is the better choice? Yeah.

It's an ineffective format with no real room for expansion.

The PSP's fine, tough there are less than five games I want for it.

It'd be quite easy to fill up a 200GB disk with, say, TV seasons or even series.

Man can you imagine buying every episode of the Simpsons or NYPD Blue or something else long running on one disc and scratching it?

In other words, the corporations who like money will doubtless opt for the more profitable step they can get away with.

Well, in theory, these discs are indestructable. But as my glasses are coated with the same polymer they use, and they do get scratched, I can't say that I trust that too much.

The biggest problem with scratches is the information is closer to the disc surface, something DVDs moved AWAY from, so if it DOES get scratched (And it still will, no matter what they claim), it'll be more detrimental (Or more likely to be detrimental).

So yeah, it'd really suck of whole episodes had data lost.

I'll get a PS3, MGS4, GT5 and GTA are too good to miss out on. So what if it means working extra hours to pluck the money for it, I guess it'll be a 'well deserved' PS3, Rather than a 'Cant be assed' Xbox 360

Thats just my outlook

GTA's going to be on the 360, so that game's point is moot.

I didn't say he should, I'm just saying that it being on the 360 made that one point moot.

But how does it make it moot? If there were a reason to purchase it for the 360 over the PS3 then I can see your point, but I don't understand how, just because it's cross-platform, it isn't a console seller for the PS3.
