HD Era Doesn't Start Till Sony Says So

Posted by Zonk on from the what-do-they-drink-over-there? dept.

GamesIndustry.biz is reporting on comments from Phil Harrison, who says that consumers looking for an HD experience should wait for the PS3. From the article: "The true definition of HD is the three elements of the HD value chain - the display, the content and the hardware to play back that content ... and PlayStation and Sony is the only organisation that has all three bits of the value chain together."

    "the display, the content and the hardware to play back that content ... and PlayStation and Sony is the only organisation that has all three bits of the value chain together."

    So the X360 won't play HD on Sony HDTVs?

    Or is he saying "If you thought the X360 bundles were heinous, wait until you see us bundle a Sony HDTV with the PS3!"

    At any rate, I was under the impression that Microsoft had Thompson (RCA) in their back pocket for a long time now. RCA put out those TVs with the proprietary Xbox hookups and the shape of the Xbox's DVD remote looked suspiciously familiar.

    Meh. They'll both be up against a wall when the Revolution comes!
