Paramount drops Blu-ray support -- everybody groans

[Elven6]

Paramount probably had to pay whoever owns HD-DVD to do this :rofl:

I dont see how this is 360 news, though...

The 360 can play HD DVD's, so its the closest thing I guess.

OMFG i cant believe dis its true who pays the most money gets wat they want ... it pisses me off

Apparently you arnt familiar with the way we do things in America

You can already play HD-DVDs on PS3 through Linux.

I'm pretty sure you have to have the HDDVD optical drive to actually play the media. Do you mean you can mount HD-DVD images? That makes more sense.

I'm a fan of games in general, but I have never had a good sony product. I do not have a single friend who has not had to buy 2 or more PS2s because they broke. I have a friend on his 3 PSP, and a nother friend who had a Vaio laptop for all of 3 months before it fried. I personally had to get 3 PS2s just to finish FFX because the disc drive kept crapping out.

That and I hate Sony's corporate attitude, and basically how they have lied their balls off recently "so the Wii is outselling the PS3, what does Sony have to say about this?" "The PS2 is outselling the will constantly" Not only did they a) use the wrong system as a comparison, it's not even an accurate statement for months now.

Also I will never forget going to last E3 and seeing the complete blatant ripoff of the Wii mote that is the Sixaxis. I mean, no developer aside from like 2 select one knew of that until E3.

I support Nintendo and Microsoft. Nintendo for their exclusive games as well as potential games like Orb, Thorn, Sadness, and such, and Microsoft because they actually are helping indie devs it seems (despite the issues I've heard of the 360, I only know one person who had to get a replacement)

That is why i asked and i'm glad you responded.

see i'm on the other end of the quality chain than you are. the only problem i have seen among friends ps2's was i had a friend who bought one at launch and the fan hadn't been connected causing the unit to over heat. he took it back to best buy that night and never looked back. i have owned mulitple cd players, i own multiple minidisc player/recorders, multiple ps1's, multiple ps2's, multiple psp's, mulitple digital cameras from sony,a ps3, a 55 "inch rear projection and many other smaller sony products. i've never had problem one with any of them. i've always appreciated the aesthetics and intuitive user innerfaces of their products as well as the inherent quality in most of their products.

all that said, i'm sure with all the advance technology that is stuffed in smaller and smaller spaces, things are bound to get screwy, but i have personally never had any problems.

sony's attitude is open to debate as i see the point you made, yet feel it is less severe when compared to the 360 failure rate and microsoft's hush hush actions surrounding it. at least with what sony said, i can look at real statistics and information and make my own decisions. There are plenty of things we could volley at each other, but i think a drastic different in the asian culture that surrounds sony and the american culture that surrounds microsoft makes that debate all the much more difficult. [and even if the numbers may have been wrong, they didn't use the wrong system. they ment to make a comparison about the fact that they still sell a lot of last gen hardware in the face of all these next gen systems. their only mistake may have been to use the wrong numbers, but my previous statement still stands]

your comment about the control expresses a personal opinion on the situation, and while you see it as theft of an idea, i'm just glad that i get have another layer of player interaction added to my gaming experience. Nintendo did it completely different, but this idea and concept has been around for sometime.

again, i thank you for your response as it helps me better understand what is going on when people spearhead negative comments at someone/something.

You can use a USB HD-DVD drive or mount an image
