PS3 Options

[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.

No known broadcaster has the bandwidth to produce a true 1080p signal. They're usually 720/1080i upscaled to 1080p. This may be the new standard 5 years down the road, but it's the immediate future that matters most, because the PS3 is close to launch.

With that being said, I'm sure the technology will come down in price, but IMO, Blu-Ray is about 3-4 years too early for anyone to really care about it. You're selling to a niche market of people at this point in time, and it just doesn't seem the logical way to go about things.

Sony doesn't have a great track record with settings standards, I wish some of you would understand that. Minidiscs & UMD's have been giant failures. What would make me believe that Blu-Ray would be any different? Their history would dictate otherwise. I'd rather have a media standard set by another company whose motives aren't as evil as Sony's typically are.

This is the main problem w/ ppl and blu-ray. Sony is one of the major backers but not the company that developed the product. Many companies were involved in the development. And the reason why I think it will win against HDdvd is because of the major backing of companies. But only time will tell.

Good old Wikipedia... shows some of hte major backers
