[QUOTE="Playstation97"][QUOTE="The_Crucible"] [QUOTE="Nerkcon"]That's why Sony forced a Bl-Ray player on the PlayStation 3! :D For trulyHD games! I wonder if this means I will have to get a HD T.V. too for the game to work? :PSUD123456
Here's a little something for ya. If you don't have an HDTV, you shouldn't talk about these things. This generation isn't aimed at you. This gen's graphics aren't aimed at you (except Wii). You are an afterthought.
Too right!!! Technology will wait for no one!! If anyone out there still game on a standard TV that's your problem!! The HD generation has begun and it will just get better and better!! To deny that HD is needed you have to be narrow minded!! HD gaming is the future of gaming. For that reason a larger capacity disk is needed like blu-ray!!
So SONY is a smart company after all and they where really thinking about the future, unlike the other companies....one whant's to stay in 2005-2007 and the other whant's to go back to 2000-2003.
Well this is what I say to Microsoft and Nintendo when it comes to game on their systems.......Hell To The NO!!!
What standard of HDTV and when?That is the question.
The answer is determined by the marketplace...the consumer. Not by Sony, Nintendo, or MS.
Right now the marketplace is kicking the crap out of the PS3, with the lowest resolution standard crushing all others.
The problem with being too future oriented in consumer electronics/technology is that you can easily relegate yourself to a niche market...which is OK, if that is what you want. For instance, 7.1 audio...laughable I say. Other than a few audiophiles, who has this?How many years before this becomes a mainstream standard? Not before this generation of consoles is long since decided. Frankly, it is nothing more than a used car salesman feature - yep she goes really fast. And frankly, 1080p for gaming is not much different.
But my opinion is just one. As is yours. What's the market for consoles actually saying? :)
You are right!! The PS3 is not doing as well as it should and that's just because 80% of people are narrow minded and they just don't care enough to do a little research....they just go into a gamestore and ask for the most popular thing even if it's crap!
7.1 yea....well not many people have that!! I still have a 5.1 home theater system but just go back about 5 years...5.1 was the WOW!!! Remember that?? 7.1 is out I think since 05 or even a little before. I myself will get a 7.1 home theater system next year because it's too expensive now....you'll have to spend about $2000 to get a decent system!! But it will come...just like HDTV's they are getting cheaper and cheapr by the month!! Hell there are HDTV's out there for $800! I got my 52" inch Bravia little more than a Year ago. I payed $5000 for it and look at it now $3499!! See how much it droped in just a year??? Next year it will be around $2000. And that TV is huge!! An Avarage person is statisfied with a 30" TV and you can get those for like $1000-$1500. Next year....there will be around $600-$1000.
There is no point to deny these things for there are true!! HD will come...people will buy it!! By 2010 I predict that about 80% of US households will have at least 1 HD TV!! and that's just 3 years form now!
