[QUOTE="swordfish_64"]sure let the po' folk buy one and join the fun. Hell, if they drop the price I might have to pick up a second one! l-_-l
I love how we have narrow minded people on these forums. It always gives me a good laugh. There is a crap load more reasons besides being po (learn to spell). I personnally am waiting on a price drop also. Not because I can't afford one at $600, but because I simply don't think it is worth $600. before somebody trys to use the super shallow arguement of blu-ray, save it. I don't want nor need blu-ray. So to me and the millions of others that haven't purchased a PS3, the blu-ray is something we can do without and feel it is being forced on us and not just forced on us, but we also actually have to pay more for something we could care less to have. So me (and millions of others) not buying a ps3 at this time has nothing to do with being po. I simply don't think the ps3 is worth what the asking price is. DVD works just fine. Don't get me wrong, I want one, just aint willing to pay the $600 asking price when half of whats in it I don't want.Â
P.S. See the main reason the blu-ray doesn't interest me is because I aint going to use my ps3 (once I have one) as a movie player anyways. Thats never a good thing to do with a console. I found out the hard way by using my ps2 as a DVD player. See the players wasn't actually made to play movies. Games and movies are different. A game only spins when it need data from the disk. A movie on the other hand spins all the time while being watched. The ps2 drive wasn't made to be spun constantly, and I believe the ps3 drive is made the same way. As in not really made to spin constantly to watch movies. Thats basicly what made me have to pay $100 to get my ps2 fixed. So even when I get a ps3, I will still consider myself as not having a blu-ray player and will still only buy DVD. The only way you are going to ever see me buy a blu-ray movie, is if I go out a buy a actual blu-ray player...................Kinda lets you know why I see blu-ray as a forces feature. It is something I will never use on my ps3 anyways.
OK, by that logic you believe that the NES, Atari, Genesis, SNES, N64, and Gameboy forced cartridges on it's customers. And the PS1 forced CD-Rom and the Xbox, PS2, and X360 forced DVD. And the Dreamcast forced GD-ROM. And the PSP forces UMD.  And ... Well you get the picture (hopefully). Even if you do not need a blu-ray player the games use blu-ray. Most of the games on the PS3 use more information than can be recorded on a DVD, so blu-ray is necessary and is used as a game format. It is the next logical step.
