PS3 To Use Blu-Ray Technology

Posted by simoniker on Thursday August 5, 2004 @05:08AM from the blue-la-di-da-da dept.

Daetrin writes "GameSpot has reported an announcement by Sony that the PlayStation 3 will use Blu-Ray technology, a next-generation optical disc format which 'can hold 25GB on a single layer and 50GB on the dual-layer discs', as many people have been speculating. What Sony hasn't said for sure is whether the PS3 will be backwards compatible with DVD movies and PS2 games. However, they indicated that they will reveal more details about the PlayStation 3 at a premiere in Japan on March 31st next year. (And, if nothing else, there will certainly be plenty of rumors before then.)"

I don't have my own kids, but I have six younger siblings. At one point, I had 2 and 3 year old sisters, and a 4 year old brother. So basically, I do have kids. And still have never had problems with scratched discs, even the kids' movies. If you're a parent and have problems with your children scratching your discs, it isn't the fault of the disc itself, it's your fault for not keeping them out of reach of children. If you don't keep valuable and easy to break objects away from your kids, then you're a bad parent, plain and simple.
