PS3 Delays

[Tynstar]

I think it is gold paint. Now it is real gold I would have to say SELL IT!!!!!

A real gold faceplate for the 360 would be the coolest thing ever. Now if only we could get it a grill somehow.

I will like to point out that in Australia, the cut down PS3 will cost us no less than $829, but for the full fetured PS3 with silver trim, all we need to do is pay $999.

I'm not going to argue, as I have liked Sony as much as I like Pokemon ever since I made it all the way through a mint condition Wild Arms on my PS1, witch was also well kept, just to have it freeze when I killed the final boss. I still have not seen the endining to this day. But to be perfectly honest, I could make an entire list of hate about Sony but I wont.

What I am amazed about though, is no one has complained about Sony wanting them to ditch their hard earned DVD collection, even though after over 100 DVDs you still can't get a few of your personal favs from VHS on DVD. So lets start that again, and see how many more movies wont be ported over this time shall we? I'm honestly not surprised the support in Europe for it is lacking.

But I'm also amazed no one took a stab at the chance of the PS3 blowing up into flames like their batteries.

forgive my ignorance on Sony's BD-ROM features, but does the PS3 have upconversion capabilites? because having a video scaler would go a long way in making a PS3 a more preferrable player than a standalone unit IMO.

I don't know for sure, but my best guess is that it does. Don't quote me on that though.

Can you watch DVD's on a Blu Ray disc player?

[Tan]

i had assumed both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray are both backwards compatible, besides it has to read PS2 DVDs as well.

[James]

From what I gather, BluRay can't read DVDs but the PS3 has two optical drives.

[Tynstar]

Thanks

[Tondog]

Uh, blu ray can read dvds, and ps3 only has one optical drive.

[Cobra]

Did a little Google search of Blu Ray for the heck of it.
Tondog is probably right about that, there are apparently going to be two types of Blu Ray lenses, ones that can only read Blu Ray, and those that are also backwards compatible.

While personally I think it's silly for a replacement for the DVD to already be lunched when there are those who still use VHS even, only time will see how it all goes.

Here's some early reviews from users on circuitcity.com.

If you thought a whole bunch of bad reviews about Blu-Ray were the biggest problem facing Sony, think again! Look below. (By the way, were there any good reviews on that site? I gave up about 10 - 20 reviews in)

I can't remember where I read about it now. It was probably just a rumour on an internet forum.

Maybe it was Blu-Ray players. I'm sure someone said about more advanced players being backwards compatible with one lense, and the others have DVD lenses in them as well as the BluRay lense.

[Tan]

if I'm not mistaken i believe i read somewhere that they are making a triple layer disk that has DVD, HD-DVD and blu-ray all on one disc, but it won't be ready for awhile.
