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."

    I thought this was a slam on the 360's reduced hard drive space.

    Could we maybe not reuse acronyms?

  2. I can do better... by tktk · · Score: 5, Funny
    I can go beyond HD. All I have to do is look away from any TVs or monitors.

    The resolution of reality is amazing. At least 2x better than HD.

    No good programs to watch or games to play though, just a bunch of tables and chairs.

  3. Sony's value chain by Urkki · · Score: 5, Funny

    "...and Sony is the only organisation that has all three bits of the value chain together."

    Yeah, and the three bits are:
    - protecting user from unlawful access to digital content
    - improving customers' stored digital media (eg MP3 files on PC hard disk)
    - enabling automatic installation of useful software by third parties
