Fort Worth, TX | Blu Ray Is Driving and Delaying the PS3 I agree with what the Inquirer writes: »www.theinquirer.net/?article=30108
SONY CEO, Howard Stringer, has confirmed that the PS3 which was supposed to be in the shops soon, will not now be around until the end of the year. Stringer said the delay is due to a hold-up with chips crucial to the success of the console's Blu-ray functions. He said Sony will roll out the PS3 by the end of the year, in time for the Yule-tide binge. Stringer wants the PS3 to be a vehicle for Blu-ray discs as well as videogames. This suggests the PS3's success may not as important to Sony as getting Blu-Ray off the ground. It seems the cunning plan is to make the PS3 the killer platform that will knock out HD-DVD and install Blu-ray as the dominant video standard.

Dont you get it? sony wants to pocket billions of dollars from blue ray. If sony gets the standard on blue ray they will be so rich. they are already trying to stay out of bankruptcy. They will probably charge $40 to any company that wants to make a blue ray device. They already want to charge 40$ for 1 blank blueray disk. That means TDK or someone else who wants to make the blank disk will have to charge you 60$ to make a profit. screw blue ray. I am glad sony has to restructure. About time they get what they deserve for screwing over real gamers. |

I think your wrong blu-ray is an important product for Sony and will be in the PS3. Sony needs Blu-ray to kill off competing formats for HDTV products. |

this is beta vs. vhs all over again... but in this case, who cares, both standards will be good, it's just a matter of compatibility and uniformity... personally, I won't have a problem buying either if they are cheap enough... |

| You know the drill, who ever gets more products out there will make more money off the licensing. Units will start off expensive then they'll end up being $100 in a few years maybe sooner. |
