1,000 US (dallors), not Yen. It cost the equivlent of $1,000 USD in Japan (however many Yen that is?) Sorry for the confusion, Ced
300000=1000USD wow i hope it gets cheaper, hey diabolos do you know how much HD-DVD burners going to cost
The thing is ,I dont think anyones computer is ready to dl and burn 25gig files,ya the will drop,like whne DVD-DL burners came out they were like 300 now i can get 1 for 80$
What are talking about? You can get a DVD DL burner for about $40 now, an excellent one too, i bought a liteon 2 weeks ago for $42 and it burns everything. I just hope the prices drop a lot cause i REALLY want to burn BD-R's...23GB, damn, thats a lot, i can finally fit about 90 episodes of an anime on a disc and watch it, oh crap, then ill need to get a BD player, OH YEA, PS3, how could i forget, what a bargain......a $500 machine that would play BOTH video games AND all formats of blu-ray discs and DVD's, wow, PS3 is a bargain... Note: I was being sarcastic and advertising PS3 on purpose, i already knew it was a bargain and this is why tons of people are gonna buy it. Microsh*t goes down the drain again.
Actually, Sony, just like microsoft, isnt incorparating and high capacity disc in their first gen systems. They may upgrade in the future, but for now its just DVD-11.
DVD-11? PS3 will have a Blue-Ray drive out of the box. Sony has been saying that since the PS3 specs surfaced. Read these specs (source: the official Sony Playstation site): http://www.us.playstation.com/newsstories.aspx?id=2197 BD is clearly mentioned. Ced
I think he ment DVD-11 is what xbox360 is going to use,never really heard much about DVD-11(i think 10.25gigs)
Hmm..I was informed that PS3 wouldnt use bluray in their first gen systems, but I guess that was old or false news. And yes, the DVD-11 format holds a little more than DVD-9
b.t.w if sony starts using blu ray on games that are like 5gigs wouldnt it be supper expencive becasue blu ray dvds cost 30$
Did anyone read this artical: http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/6583.cfm Sony has got the resources to push this new system. If you think that Sony will sale this console at a rediculios price and the games at a unresonable price, compared to the 360, then you are just wrong. The PS3 is cool but not $500 cool. Everytime a company comes out with a new console they lose money. All that stat-of-the-art technology cost alot considering it has to last (preform to the best standards ofthe day) for a minimum of 5 years. Most of the time they don't break even for about 3-5 years after the console launches. Ced
Sonys smart acually, there systems lifspan may reach 8-15 years becasue of all the hightech crap in the consale....but i wouldnt wanna chip it becasue its to risky and the ps3 is costly
I just had a thought... The biggest advantage that Blue-Ray has over HD-DVD is that Blue-Ray will be used on a major video game platform. That fact alone will drive up demand for blue-ray discs so that BD manufacturers can start to give sony whole-sale deals. After that enough money should be left over to fund the R&D team so they can find ways to produce BDs cheaper. High demand and cheaper maufacturing methods should even the playing field. Ced
