see, its not dead, its just cheaper.
As I undersand it, they are going to update the burn software that comes with Windows. A BluRay drive is recognized as an Sata drive like any dvd/cdrom drive by windows. So basically a minor update and I seriously doubt that this is a sign for a pro-Bluray campaign by MS.
and maybe for a change release some damn games in the format..
What are you trying to say?
Also, OSX doesn't really own. I suppose if everyone used OSX instead of Windows, you'd be saying the same thing. Certainly you don't think that the losers who sit home and make viruses and other shit to destroy computers would bother with Apple products, do you? Apple computers are still far behind PCs that run Windows in terms of penetration and install-base; If this is reversed one day, expect your precious OSX to be destroyed just as easily. Why would a hacker or whatever bother with OSX when they can ruin everyone's computer experiences?
Windows isn't perfect, but that's no reason to be hate on it. It's perfectly functional for me, but then again I've never been one to follow the trendy folk.
I don't think entirely ancillary add-ons kill consoles. The HD-DVD add-on was required to play all of no games on the 360. The only thing the first add-on killed was itself.
@artson
Not necessarily. 1080p for me is flat-out not worth the cost at this point, and probably won't be for years to come. Also worth mentioning is that I already own a 60" 1080p TV...it's the cost of movie purchases on BluRay that would drown me. Just not worth it for a difference that is mostly "meh" to me.
They doesn't have to do it for every model, just the Elite would do. At a stroke it would remove a major advantage of the PS3 over the 360.
BTW its pretty clear the reason they never did it with HD DVD was they didn't want to be stuck with an albatross if the format died. Pretty smart in hindsight, but that reason no longer exists. Stick the BD drive in the 360 and Sony will lose more than it would gain.
Either way, I'd be happy to see it happen just to know that more people are seeing how awesome blu-ray is.
Too many people are picking the PS3 as it is a great console and pretty much the best BD player.
I'd guess you're in the minority. For $200 more you could have a whole new gaming system that was actually built to play blu-ray. But hey, to each their own. Either way you'd be helping me out because at least some of that money will be going to sony and I like their games and hardware.
I mean..I suppose they could upgrade the elite with a built in blu-ray player but at this stage in the game I dont see much of a point, like i said if someone wanted a blu-ray player they either have one, would buy a ps3, or are waiting for a cheap dedicated player.
@wonky360 - People are not buying ps3's specifically for blu-ray, as nice as hd movies are no one care about movies to the extent to completely drive a console one way or another. From the look of your name, I won't be getting through to you, but the ps3's been outselling the 360 almost all year, and it isn't just because it has Blu-ray. Blu-ray is just like a nice bonus.
That is probably the most intelligent thing I've ever read, in the entire history of this site. Bravo!
