Wow. Hmm....well it's like this. People are getting used to DVDs....VHS isn't completely phased out yet, and already we got this? PS3 prices would go up alot becuase of this uh...HDbluray thing. But could it set back PS3 though?? Could Sony pull a Nintendo 64 at E3?? |

From what I read, both technologies will be backwards compatible with current DVD hardware. It's just that blu-ray uses a special laser that allows for more data to be stored on a disc, up to 25 GB on a single layer disc. I think they will make it so that if you have the new hardware, you get new features on the discs. And I don't really think PS3 games will be any more expensive. The price of a blank DVD in 2000 was like $6 a disc. Now they have come down to about $.75, but the games are still the same price. I don't think the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray discs will be any more expensive than DVDs were 5 years ago. |

They better not be. And I'm aware of the backwards compatible thing for current DVDs. 25 GBs on a single layer disc.....and sony is doing multi-layering on it. If they can do 2-3 layers....you'd have 50-75gigs on one disc!! Now if CDs could just get to that point....then maybe I'd only need one disc for my projects I wanna get on CDs. |

Why would the PS3 need a DVD player anyway? Most people already have one and the PS2 already had one. |

They use DVDs for their storage mediums. The Playstation used CDs, the Playstation 2 and Xbox use DVDs, and apparently the PS3 will use the new discs. |

Right. I mean if you could listen to CDs on the PS1, and watch movies on the PS2....why can't you do the same for PS3?? |
