[DriveCelicaST]

Anyone get reservations on these? I missed them! NOOOOO

So I'm going to go wait in line for them. Im going to bring some of my cousins to help me get them too! Hope I can get 3! Then its a free paintjob! WOOOO!!!

Anyone get lucky with these?


If you guys want quick cash too, look for the tickle me elmos. Those are about a 100 dollar profit as well.

True, but EVENTUALLY, 1080p will be mainstream, and more common. So it's not like you're never going to take advantage of it, just depends on when you get a newer tv

Cue bad advice - you know 1080p will be mainstream how? And when? Do you own a $2000 HDTV right now that does 1080p playback? They're releasing a console that uses Blu-Ray specifically for 1080p, which isn't even an accepted, well spread out standard and won't be for another 5 years or so. The TV's alone costs thousands of dollars, and you're hinging the PS3's success on their support of it. Horray! You can get full 1080p playback on the whole .1% of the market that owns the televisions.

If they didn't put the blu-ray player in the ps3, it would become obsolete in just a couple of years.

You're acting like Blu-Ray is actually a good thing.

Let me share a little moment in history with you about Sony's last attempt at backing a format that nobody else would : The Minidisc.

We all know how popular Minidisc's are in society. It's junked up DRM crap, much like everything else that Sony produces.

Good for you! How exactly does this relate to the ps3 and blu-ray?

Because I get to screw with the stuff, I've been to several trade shows, GDC, E3, and I get to listen to Phil Harrison talk out of both sides of his mouth about the Playstation 3, first hand. I watched several of the PS3 'demo' units take a nose dive because they couldn't handle the poorly constructed cell code that they were running on.

But IF you do have a 1080P which lots of ppl are now buying then it is a good thing. And you cannot deny the picture over a standard dvd player. Just because you think something is a waste of money doesnt mean that others do not. Lot's of people think, including my ex-gf, think my car is a big waste of money but I enjoy working on it and making it look nicer.

I sale about 4-7 1080P tvs every week. So lots of people are getting them now days. The lowest I've seen a 1080P (DLP) we've sold was 1799. Not bad for a 50" DLP. So in my personal experience w/ 1080P tvs they're becoming more affordable and more common in houses. And my personal op. if your gonna buy a 1080P tv and not utilize the quaility of the tv then why not buy the 720P model?

1080 will become mainstream, in march of 09' the law is already passed for all analog tv's to become digital. 1080p HDTV's arent $2000 anymore, I have a 27" samsung and bought it brand new for $600. And actually 30% of america already has an HDTV and by 09' the number is supposed to reach 85%. Digital HD is coming regardless if u like it or not, every day more and more channels are added and broadcasted. Will blu-ray be a huge hit? Given the circumstances, I doubt it, will ps3 sell like crazy, definatly.

You may want to restate your statement. there is no 27" samsung thats 1080P, 1080i which is a lot different. And nothing on cable or satelite is broadcasted in 1080P. The only thing offered in 1080P is blu-ray right now.
