PS3, rug, YOINK!

Re: PS3, rug, YOINK!

It just seems to me like Sony no longer wants to put all their Blu-Ray eggs in the PS3 basket so they had to make standalone Blu-Ray players more accessible. This change wouldn't make a lick of difference to people interested in PS3's other functions, but the niche (however nonexistant) that would have only been looking for Blu-Ray and saw they could get so much more for so much less would've gotten a PS3. But with all the bad press PS3 has been getting in the non game press (Time Magazine, New York Times, etc) they're not so confident Joe Techy Nongamer would trust PS3. Just as Sony's games division can't afford to admit PS3 isn't faring as well as expected, the rest of Sony can't afford to ignore the fact.

Lots of people here hate the PS3 for no reason, I think it's sortof retarded. You get what you pay for in the console. Maybe they stuffed too much into it, but you really do get what you pay for. I agree with RPGD, this will probably will make more people consider getting a PS3.

Dear Altoecko,
I agree. I like you more now.

k thx l8r,

Re: PS3, rug, YOINK!

I hate the PS3 because it's a bajillion dollar video game system with no games. And every time Sony opens their mouth about it, you want to punch them in the nose. Oh, you're limiting backwards compatability in Europe? Oh, you want to focus on developing games instead? You should be doing that anyway, idiots.

Re: PS3, rug, YOINK!

Being able to play Blu-Ray discs isn't something I care about with the PS3. When they have games worth playing I'll pick one up. Until then I'm happy with a PS2.

Re: PS3, rug, YOINK!

Are you people kidding me?
This doesnt really have anything to do with the PS3, and has everything to do with Sony making sure that Bluray is the dominant next gen media on the market.

Re: PS3, rug, YOINK!

It isn't about the PS3 but it affects the PS3.

Re: PS3, rug, YOINK!

Perhaps, but it is very unlikely that it will affect the PS3 adversely. Because people will now be more inclined to buy a blu ray player, and when they see the PS3 and the player are the same price, they are more inclined to buy the PS3 because it can do more.

Re: PS3, rug, YOINK!

I don't see how a cheaper blu-ray player will make people more inclined to buy a PS3 that is the same price it's always been.

Re: PS3, rug, YOINK!

I think Blu ray is lame. I think HDDVD is just a series of nonsense letters that secretly spell lame-o. Other than game applications, I really could care less about either format. When I finally am forced to get an HD TV because of all this crap and all my hundreds of DVD's look like crap on it I will publicly execute Bill Gates and the President of Sony, and post on the Pavilion from prison for the rest of my life.

Re: PS3, rug, YOINK!

PS3 sales might take a slight hit from this, but the only people they'll lose are the ones who would only use the PS3 as a blu-ray player. someone interested in a PS3 isnt going to decide to get a blu-ray player instead.
