Sony Computer Entertainment has obviously pushed the PS3 primarily as a games machine, but many see the Blu-ray movie-compatible console as a double-edged sword intended to take out competitors in the games sector, as well as rival high-def movie format, Toshiba's HD-DVD.
Reuters quoted Parsons at the Credit Suisse media and telecom conference in New York, where he expressed doubt that Sony's plan would push Blu-ray as the preferred format.
"Do I think that the game console platform is really going to drive the conversion? I don't think so," he said. "People get those things to play games, not watch movies."
Time Warner's movie studios currently support both HD-DVD and Blu-ray formats.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".
I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.
I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.
Sony "betta" figure something out else they'll pay to the "max".
King Kong is a $40 movie, the remote control is a $30 accessory. $200-$40-$30=$130 that you are actually paying for the HD-DVD drive.
"That horrible movie" wtf are you talking about, if you know anything about King Kong, that movie was fantastic, that's just not my opinion, the reviews for it heaped lots of praise on it, anyways I think this multimedia machine crap should go and they should be just gaming machines
"People get those things to play games, not watch movies."
thats exactly what sony and microsoft seem to forget..
Come down off the fence if you truly believe that PS3 will have no effect on the format war between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. Drop your Blu-Ray support and let the world know which side you are on.
