Hey! Greedy upper middle class 7 year olds will buy it first thing it comes out, and buy up all the games and get board before the system even gets warm. So don't knock it.

Sorry... I've seen way too many whiney little kids begging for more than 3 new X-box games when I've been at Target, looking for toys marked down to 2.50 too damn many times.

They're totally banking on Blu-Ray. I love how so many places have already stated that HD DVD looks better than Blu-Ray and now Sony has released the main price point for almost all Blu-Ray discs...around $42 USD. That's just ridiculous.

Blu-Ray and HD DVD all come down to what movies show up on which format, at least at first. Which ever sells more early on, and I think is cheaper for the consumer, is the one that's going to win.

HD DVD has already taken a headstart over Blu-Ray. Not only is the quality better, but apparently it's easier to find, it released earlier, and it's cheaper.

Sony is in trouble already. I've been keeping a close watch on this stuff, and as a videophile I need to know about it.

I also heard you're a pedophile. I remember that story of you slamming underaged girls!

Oooooh snap.

As far as next-gen formats go, I like HD-DVD because it's the natural suscessor, and it was made by the MPEG group who stand as pretty much a nutral party in the format war. Sony owns Blu-Ray and everyone would have to go to them to get a license. Fu*k that sh*t.

I quit reading that interview because I've had a bad day, and I've heard about enough PR talk in the past week to make me puke (long story), but anyway, yeah. HD-DVD is better. It can't hold as much as Blu-Ray, but it's faster, durable, can hold more layers than Blu-Ray, and got to market first. VHS beat Betamax (another Sony loss) because it was cheaper. Money always wins.

Right up PS3's ass.

Actually, that's not entirely true; both next-gen formats are backed by a multitude of consumer electronics and computer manufacturers. While Blu-Ray is very much Sony's baby, it is also backed by a plethora of other companies, including Panasonic, Samsung, Dell, HP, Phillips, and a host of others. Meanwhile, High-Def DVDs are being backed by Toshiba, NEC, and the like. But your point is well-taken, bro.
