Mojave Wayrest	Posted - 2007.03.27 11:29:00 - [6] Originally by: Melenkurion Abatha This time next year all you will see is Blu-ray! Thats what they said about DVDs, and they took aaaages before they got popular. The problem is that as technology advances faster all the time, new formats will come out faster and more frequently, if you look at the gap between VHS/Betamax and DVD, and DVD and Blu-ray. The problem isn't so much that the technology isn't there, its the willingness, or lack thereof of the potential market base. I know a lot of people who have only just recently stepped up to DVDs, there's not really anything you could say to them to convince them to part with their hard earned cash for something that (to them at least) offers little or no improvement. For the same reason, I know people who don't have digital TV yet here in the UK, despite them turning the analogue equivalent off soonish (not going into how they've still failed to get 100% coverage here though).

Haha yeh, i don't know anywhere that still sells video cassettes. Blue-ray's a tricky one, it actually has some use and goes hand in hand with HDTV. Then again, look at that UMD crap Sony released, didn't take off at all, they've all but scrapped it.
Hydraxian Gallente Infinitus Odium	Posted - 2007.03.27 20:34:00 - [10] Meh, HD-DVD will beat blu-ray... but that wont be for a llllooonnnnggggg time. The thing is, when DVDs came along there was a giant leap in the quality of picture/sound and the longegevity of the format over VHS. This gave people a big reason to change espesically as many people had been buying new TVs to take advantage of the "next gen" consoles and the the first higher def Tv channels (i think...) Now we are at the situation where DVD/DVD player sales are only just topping that of VHS. The problem with HD content is that very few people actually have HD compatable equipment outside the US(where they have horrible analouge signals apparantly) and Japan (........) therefore the spread of HD content will be much much slower, as there are far fewer people that have a HD TV (needed for blu-ray/HD-DVD) than those who can use "good, old fashioned" DVD's (can use any Tv pretty much). Any anyway, HD-DVD will win as microsoft support it, and the majority of Hardware manufacturers support microsoft, therefore i bet we will be seeing low price HD-DVD players within 6-8months which will saturate the market. On the other hand, anyone remember the whole rewritable DVD war, DVD-R vs. DVD + R vs. DVD-RAM. And now pretty much all players can use ALL the formats (i dont even know/remember which format i use lol) I expect we will have multi-format players out soonish (if not already) which will really cause Blu-ray (more than HD-DVD i think) to **** themselves as they wanted that nice monopoly on content rather than sharing it/giving people the choice with HD-DVD as well.

In the US (it's storngest market) HD-DVD is getting outsold by Bluray by a margin of 3:1 on hardware and 4:1 on software. 2. Microsoft are planning on releasing a dual format player for the 360. 3. LG have already made a dual format player. they just don't know if it is worthwhile releasing it. 4. Bluray has mutch more backing than HD-DVD. 7/8 of the major US studios are using it compared to just 3/8 that are going to release on HD-DVD. Did you actually do any research on this subject or did you just say the first thing that came in to your mind?

Lord Zoran Caldari Controlled Mayhem	Posted - 2007.03.28 16:42:00 - [16] i only know one person who's got one but even then he has only got 1 game since he cant afford to buy any now --------------------------------------------- no sig for you !!!
Saiyar Infinitus Morti	Posted - 2007.03.29 00:36:00 - [17] Edited by: Saiyar on 29/03/2007 00:37:13 The UK figures are from chart-track so they should be very accurate. i think the software uptake is something like 1.7, so not that many games have been bought for the system. Can't say anything aout the EU numbers as I don't know how they were calculated. Sorry for being rude before Hydraxian, I am so PO anti-soy brigade i am at my wits end. I actually had a guy trying to conivnce me that BR discs wee ú3o each. when I posted a link to amazon showing they were only ú15 I was acused of faking the site.

Saiyar Infinitus Morti	Posted - 2007.03.29 00:50:00 - [20] Originally by: Strel Samodelkin Why would someone buy a PS3? Its inferior to the PC and the X-Box. It is superior to the xbox and as soon as the devs get some decent tools for coding (Sony's fualt fdor delaying it)the difference should be seen. the graphics capabilties of both machines are pretty even but the processor power of the PS3 should put it beyond anything the 360 can achieve. LBP is possibly the first example of this. The 360 PC combo is really good but if you put linux on your PS3 you can get the exact same functionality so the PS3 actually works out cheaper. The new gen of PC's should be beyond both tho. In the end it will depend on what type of games you like. my preference is shooters/rts on the PC and everything else on the console. i think the PSWii + PC combo sould offer the hardcore gamer everything. tbh the Wii is by far the best 7th gen console I have played so far and I really hope the 3rd party devs get behind it.

Vegetto Ichikai Caldari Point-Zero Ratel Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.29 09:32:00 - [23] PC always has and always will be superior. Why? Whats that, PS3 out...hmm looks nice.. Goes to online PC store, spends ú200 on upgrades Whoops, i'm better again, ooh, and my PC doesn't look like a George Foreman Grill, bonus.
Logi3 Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2007.03.29 09:40:00 - [24] Whats with the rubbish about people wanting to put Linux on PS3's? On the news yesterday there was a thing on about Blu-Ray and HD DVD. Universal Studios signed up with HD DVD and more were excepted to follow in the next few days. Back to basics, back to pirating

The switchover is taking place from 2008-2012 depending on which region you are in and all you need to do is buy a ú16 freeview box, you dont need a "digital tv".

Logi3 Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2007.03.29 11:49:00 - [27] Not rushing to buy a PS3 currently, esp as there nothing wrong with my X360 :) One thing i read which is true is: "Games developed from the ground up on PS3 are the ones that will really show off the PS3's CPU advantage. The complexity of the distributed processing architecture means that PS3 engines won't fully blossom until a little later in the lifecycle than the PS2. This has put the PS3 at a disadvantage early in its lifecycle, but within two years you will see games that surpass what is possible on the Xbox 360." Back to basics, back to pirating
Dray Caldari Endgame.	Posted - 2007.03.29 13:39:00 - [28] Never really thought the PS3 will do as much as the PS1 or PS2, it dosent matter what extras they offer, they are ultimately games machines and thats what they'll be judged on, as I understand it the specs on the PS3 are better than the 360 but is it really that much better? Also and this is the crux for me, gaming now is more than ever leaning towards multiplayer, in that area microsoft has a big advantage over sony, tho in some cases ive got a lot of doubt over the way xbox live works, the hosting for instance but everyone i know who has a 360 is always playing multiplayer, poor single player games can be a different beast online as the vast majority here knows. I'll wait and see, xbox live dosent intrest me, and why should it, ive got a pc, but im watching the ps3 with intrest especially as to how it will develope in the multiplayer arena.

Frezik Celtic Anarchy Anarchy Empire	Posted - 2007.03.29 16:06:00 - [30] Originally by: Hydraxian The problem with HD content is that very few people actually have HD compatable equipment outside the US(where they have horrible analouge signals apparantly) and Japan (........) Correct, both the US and Japan use NTSC signals, which has a lower resolution compared to PAL. NTSC has a higher refresh rate, but that doesn't matter as much in practice. Casino Royale being a blu-ray exclusive is a major short-term gain for blu-ray, and might be the ultimate deciding factor. A few things to keep in mind: 1) If you don't have an HDTV that can do at least 720p, next-gen discs mean nothing to you. 2) If you do have an HDTV, make sure you're using the right cable. Component cables don't cut it. 3) Many movies that were shot digitally didn't have high enough resolution to take advantage of hi-def discs. For them, 480p is as good as it gets. 4) The difference between 720p and 1080p only matters for TVs over a certain size. You will never see the difference on a 30" TV. I'm not even sure about 54". Lastly, hi-def content greatly increases the complexity of home entertainment options for consumers. With old TVs, there were two plugs (power and coax), and it was very obvious which one was which. With HDTV, there's a plethora of plugs, some of which are technically incapable of providing the bandwidth for HDTV, and others which don't support the DRM encryption for some types of content, and the salesperson may or may not have told you about any of that when you bought it. I would not casually dismiss this important human factor.
