    You know, it's not Sony not reaching those numbers, it's the blu-laser manufacturers not reaching the intended numbers.

    Only 1 or 2 movie producers currently offer movies for both. Universal. I think the other ones are on paramount.

    I know of a lot of people who bought the PS3 not just for games, but mainly for movies.

    And, wasn't it predicted and/or proven that the blu-ray players were going down in price at a faster rate than HD DVD players, so they'll be the same price soon enough?

    Either way, right now HD DVD has a lower cost of players, a couple movie studios, and Microsoft going for it, and blu ray has much more.

    I thought this was about a format winning, not what you have.
    Simple put, "infrastructure" is going to get movies sold. More players in homes = more movies sold, no? Maybe not necessarily, but probably.

    HD-DVD Wins HD-DVD is the clear winner over Blu-ray in the DVD format wars. Oh yeah, and the PS3 is a bust.

    I don't see how. Blu-ray is a better format, with bigger studios such as Fox and Disney. Not to mention the fact that Apple and Dell support it, along with a multitude of other large companies.

    I forget, what does HD-DVD have? Microsoft, Pinoneer, and a few movie studios? I don't quite remember everything.

    All this still overlooking the fact that blu-ray is the superior format, yes, betamax vs. vhs, bla bla bla, but currently, it isn't in a consumer fight like that. It's in an early adapter fight. But, when it becomes more affordable, do you think people are going to go out and get HD-DVD players, when they most likely already have one in their Dell or Apple computer? Not to mention that it's already in their PS3 that they have in the home media center, if they don't have a HTPC. And you have to give the PS3 some slack. It really isn't a bad console at all. Sure, it's a little pricey, but it's cheaper than the high-end 8800GTX XXX out right now.


    So, tell me how blu-ray was going to lose again?

    Through Google, it said he was selling Photoshop for about $150, so let's round PS's cost to about $600, he was probably selling them for 25% then, so you *could* say he made 5million, which would explain the restitution, but then he still has the $500,000 fine to pay...

    I was originally going to get a Wii and a PS3, but now, it's just a Wii for me. You see, I had some friends over. We were all doing stuff...By ourselves. One was playing PS2, another Gamecube, another on my computer, and me on my PSP. What was the point? Party machines for the win!

    Use widescreen monitors.

    Get most of the big games produced 2004 and on, and include the best mods with them. (i.e. DC and DCX for BF1942, PoE and OPK for BFV, etc.)

    Cater to the "Average Joe," and the "nerd" who knows everything about computer.

    Maybe offer classes (?).
