Who will get a PS3 now that the price is out?

When the major players in industries besides home theatre refuse to adopt your format, it's doomed. All the major players in the computer market are key, and 99% of them are on the side of HD DVD. The computer market is just as large, if not larger, a defining market point as home theatre for storage and optical media.

 

Given the fact you and I will at some point be able to buy an HD DVD burner, and unlikely or at least MUCH further in the future, a Bluray burner.......go figure. You'll also be able to buy larger capacity discs than Bluray can offer not too far in the future, as well as dual capability discs. DVD/HD-DVD content on one disc.

 

Consumers in the home theater market for a cheap HD player, will also opt for HD DVD even beyond Bluray because HD DVD players are still cheaper than a PS3. You can buy Toshiba's HD-A1 for $100 less than what a PS3 is going to hit shelves at ($499, versus the $599 price tag on the premium version PS3), and there are cheaper players out there.

I agree with you man, my money's on HD-DVD. I think it wil catch on faster to the ordinary consumer simply because everyone knows wat a "DVD" is lol. Blu-ray........R.I.P.

 

Oh yeah, will be gettin a Wii on launch day! Screw Sony and their PS3

I am a Metal Gear Solid whore.

 

The PS3 has MGS4.

 

MGS4 looks mind-blowing.

 

 

... I hate Kojima.

I can't even afford a Gamepad for my PC, let alone a PS3...

 

Anyways, if I had the money, I would have bought a Wii. However, the PS is the only consolse imported in israel

[olaf]

I believe I will be getting a Wii as well.

[Lucandrake]

someboddy can't you just send the money via-paypal to someone on 1emu and then recieve it in the mail?

[someboddy]

That's not the problem. The problem is the games.

 

You can easily find a XBox or a GameCube in Israel, but only few stores are selling games(and those stores are far away from where I live... and I don't have a car...)

[Lucandrake]

Well that now makes sense..... ebay? Idk I'm trying to be helpfull here .

[NeuronMaster]

Wii for me.

I can't wait to play games with my Wiimote!

[Samor]

ps3, well, either I hit the jackpot or it becomes cheap =P

 

Wii's more likely, but I'm not sure.

 

Actually, I leave all options open; I just don't have all that much money ;p
