[Tech] PS3 Info Revealed

Ok.. for us none tech geeks.. wtf is Blu-Ray anyways?

[Setari]

I think IBM is the real winner here. They developed both Cell and the processor for the 360.

[Ivan]

Well not just IBM developed the Cell processor. It was a joint project of Toshiba and Sony as well.

High definition technology. Supposed to be better than HD-DVD but I think any average consumer is going to buy a HD-DVD over something called Blu-Ray when looking for "High Definition" media. Blu-Ray will probably be localized to Sony products, I don't see it making it into every day use over HD-DVD.

Sony on the other hand has a standard HDD (unlike the 360) with 60GB (unlike the 360s optional 20BG)

Made into the thread twice, that sure is a technological feat sure to trump the 360 especially when the average user is going to use about 2gb.

And I think I heard HD-DVD comes out next month or so. So people are going to be buying everything with the words HD-DVD on it now and then Blu-ray comes out everyone will already be HD-DVD.

I figured since this is basically a console discussion thread I'd put this here. If it needs its own thread, Hamma or someone can fix it.

Interview with Shigeru Miyamoto


EDIT: Forgot to mention, I sincerely hope that the next generation of games will be filled with more innovative games than Shoot-Shit-Up 8 for the 360 and PS3. Hopefully, people will start to realize that they're just playing the same games over and over with newer graphics and different missions.

[Hamma]

I'm not buying any HD DVD no matter the title for a while - damn players are gonna be like 700 bucks.

[Ivan]

Companys should start pushing Blu-Ray players and other products now. I've read somewhere that Blu-Ray is better some how. Don't remember the details.

2x as much sapce as HD-DVD and Faster Transfer rates?

[Ghryphen]

Yup, however it has a terrible name and HD DVD will be out sooner.

We need to start an underground gorilla marketing campaign for Blu-Ray. We must spread the word to the unintelligent masses! Viva La Blu-Ray!

[OneManArmy]
