Streets of Fire

Posted Jan 28, 2008 4:04 pm PT look blu-ray has a Streets of Fire base, right now. ps3 isnt doing as well as 360 which is trying to back the hd-dvd system, get 360 to back blu-ray and its over. until that i think that blu-ray will get victory after victory right up until its dropped off the market like a brick over a cliff. Posted Jan 28, 2008 3:58 pm PT Steven McGunigel puts the success of the Blu-ray format down to its being included in the PlayStation Well Ill be, Sony was right about it. I should have known that they paid ten people much smarter than me to figure this out and, well, they got it right. Go Sony! Posted Jan 28, 2008 3:49 pm PT In the long run they lost a HUGE marketshare in the gaming industry and even though BD has the upper-hand over HDDVD, it hasnt even become a blip on the screen when compared to overall DVD sales The ps3 has been out for 1 year. Since when is 1 year the long run. anyway it had a huge sales surge in december. The ps3 as a system is a great piece of hardware. There isnt much denying that. lack of great games? perhaps. but then, the 360s first Streets of Fire really had nothing. gears was year I bought a 360 when GoW came out and even though I have had to send in my 360 for a new one, I am still glad I got a chance to play it and games like mass effect and bioshock. point is: stop being a fanboy. It just really makes you look like an idiot. Posted Jan 28, 2008 3:46 pm PT Blu-ray will win, like others have said Microsoft should have bitten the bullet and put a HD-DVD player in the 360 from the start and this war would be going the other way, Im just glad to see an end to the war. Posted Jan 28, 2008 3:39 pm PT Posted Jan 28, 2008 3:39 pm PT Who cares which one is slightly technically superior? Blu-ray sounds so much better than HD-DVD. Just like how VHS was more pleasant on the ears compared to betamax. Posted Jan 28, 2008 3:38 pm PT Posted Jan 28, 2008 3:36 pm PT I dont really understand why everyone is down rating zoe256 comement since its true. Blu-Ray is the only format by Sony that was well marketed and succesfull. Just look at beta max, MD and UMD and tell me im wrong. Sony was the main reason both the CD and the DVD took off. Blu ray is following the same path. So you arent wrong but you arent really right either Posted Jan 28, 2008 3:27 pm PT Because Warner went blu-ray exclusive, was imo the final blow to HD-DVD. i mean, how would Hd-dvd recover from that? there wasnt enough HD-DVD exclusive support to keep them afloat Posted Jan 28, 2008 3:25 pm PT Sony did a great job of distracting their fans with all this Blu-Ray hoopla. They had no intentions of putting forth a decent game console. Their only goal was to win the high def disc format war and could care less if they screwed over millions of their faithful following in the process. In the long run they lost a HUGE marketshare in the gaming industry and even though BD has the upper-hand over HDDVD, it hasnt even become a blip on the screen when compared to overall DVD sales. It will be interesting to see if Blu-Ray becomes a household staple before it is made obsolete by on demand high def. I seriously doubt BD ever becomes a mainstream format due to the increasing technological advances being made daily in data transfer rates as well as large capacity solid state hard drives. Posted Jan 28, 2008 3:17 pm PT I dont really understand why everyone is down rating zoe256 comement since its true. Blu-Ray is the only format by Sony that was well marketed and succesfull. Just look at beta max, MD and UMD and tell me im wrong. Well couldnt really care less which wins since i own both, but its nice to see they are finally deciding on one and not dancing around the question about which one to support for several years like they did whit beta max. And this is good to since Sony makes high quallity stuff, over pricedBravia, Playstation 3, Cyber-Shot and SonyEricssson but good stuff. Posted Jan 28, 2008 3:11 pm PT I HIGHLY doubt the 360 will get a Blu ray add Sony MADE blu ray, why would MS peddle Sonys products? Also, MS Streets of Fire have to make some sort of deal with Sony in order to see who gets profit from the add on. Enemies dont work together. Posted Jan 28, 2008 3:10 pm PT Who cares? Both formats are extremely overrated.
