[QUOTE="SambaLele"] [QUOTE="FuzionZX"]Like when analysts predicted a strong start for teh PS3rd place :lol:DXGreat1_HGL
sorry, but you should link that, i don't remember that one. in fact, i always remember analysts predicting that PS3 would win... at the end of the war.
And that sounds correct, you know why? Try to explain to me how can 360 sales go anywhere but down (2008 lineup that doesn't appeal to wide audiences, too hardcore, few hyped well-known titles, bad reputation hardware, etc), and PS3's anywhere but up (2008 lineup with well-known hyped games that made the PS1 and PS2 sell a lot, Home, Blu-ray is the new HD standard format, etc)?
Why are cows the only ones that try to make anyone beleive that Bluray is a good value for movies?
I read a review for the Bluray Simsons movie in PSM. They admited that there wasn't any new features that justify the price. Face reality, Bluray is just another major Sony marketing scam, trying to make people think that this format is so needed just to pony off more expensive DVD's with nominal improvements sound and picture quality. Fact is, I'm getting just as good quality on my HDTV with my 360 and HDMI cable...
DXGreat, i have to say, after all this time, that you're probably one of the worst forum members i've ever seen. you fail to maintain a civilized discussion whatever the matter is, and have to label people the names you want. there's nothing to gain discussing with you, for both of us. i'm going to try one last time, and if this time you go as uneducated as you usually do, i'll just ignore you, and that'll probably be the best for everyone.
about the Simpsons BD review: yes, in that case that should be real, but can we generalize to all movies in HD form? and is Blu-ray expensive? Yes, but wasn't DVD also expensive, even though it didn't face any competition and went in mass production earlier than Blu-ray could? Blu-ray will become less expensive as it's more adopted, that's a basic economic concept.
in fact, even if it was the case, and every HD movie lacked extra features over the DVD version, what we get it for is the superior audio and picture quality, there's a big difference there.
and no, Blu-ray is not necessary. Neither is a video-game or a DVD player. What's the point in accusing it of being unnecessary? People buy it because they want to, not because they have to.
So yes, Blu-ray is a good value for movies, specially when you want better quality than DVDs offer, and when packed in with a system that also plays games, can run linux, is also a media center, etc. that's what adds value to the PS3, and that's a pretty strong argument to say that yes, it's sales won't go anywhere but up this year, while 360 has little to offer to those that don't already have one, except for the already released titles and the online community. And for that case, don't forget that the PS3 will also get Home this year.
If you really believe only cows praise Blu-ray, you should read other things rather than just System Wars' threads.
