    High PS3 Price is Pushing Away Developers

    Sony's PlayStation 3 has been in the news a lot in the past year. First there were issues with its Blu-ray support and then there were the reports on the console’s delay and finally the fallout from the $499/$599 pricing structure. Well, it appears that that high price of entry is not only...

    Sony's PlayStation 3 goes on sale

    Didn't spend quite that much. Helps to be in the consumer electronics field and know a few people :). My main thing with is Sony hasn't delivered on what they promised so I wouldn't be suprised if HDMI 1.3 doesn't ship with the PS3 launch. Sony just delayed a couple of titles including at...

    Sony's PlayStation 3 goes on sale

    HD-DVD is being displayed as 1080i as the Toshiba's don't support 1080p in their hardware. I'm using 2 different displays a Panasonic 50" DLP and a Sony Qualia 004. The reason for the poor image I'm sure is Sony's decision to stay with Mpeg 2 instead of going with VC-1 or MPEG4 AVC right off...

    Sony's PlayStation 3 goes on sale

    Yeah I saw a few articles about the PS3 supposed to be launching with HDMI 1.3 but I'm really skeptical. Sony promised a hell of alot for the Blu-Ray launch and I have to say Sony has a ton of catching up to do if they want to stay in the game with toshiba. I have both an the Toshiba XA1 and...

    ps3 blu-ray somebody please explain

    The only thing with the +/- war was that DVD on film had already adopted a standard with all studios backing it so the war only really affected PC's. As far as storage goes using VC-1 takes up 6.25GB per hour so a 4 hour movie your looking at 25GB which even with HD-DVD leaves 5GB for...

    Garfield 2...OMG no!

    It was pretty much a given that they would make a sequel as the first movie despite bad reviews made a fairly nice profit. Production budget was about $50 million and it brought in $198,602,095. So everyone can probably expect a third movie if this one even makes half the profit the first did.
