Why does the PS3 always get left out of this discussion? It's basically a blue ray player packed in a media center. Who cares if you can't play games with it, you can a lot more than just play movies with it.
Let's talk about the conflict of interest. Sony makes the players, is a movie producer, and a music label producer. They exist purely on the fact that at some point it was TOO expensive to go in and edit a film or cut an album yourself. You needed their help. Now you can pretty much produce, edit, and distribute content as long as you have a computer with the right software and an internet connection.
At some point, the DISTRIBUTION channel will be the internet, and all videos/mp3 will exist in a NON PHYSICAL space, meaning you can't really touch it.
This may be our last physical media discussion. The next one will be how you pull the media off your internet pipe and create physical media yourself at your house.
I'd like to know how the executives of these outsourcing companies feel about the level of customer service, and how the quality of these services is going down due to language barriers, and lack of knowledge.
