Yes, yes, another news tidbit about Blu-ray. Why is Blu-ray relevant to the PS3? For starters, it's the format all the games come on. For entrée, the PS3 is a multimedia device that's a means to distribute the Blu-ray HD movie format. For desserts, if Blu-ray doesn't succeed, the PS3 will have a much harder time existing. There's a three-course meal about why Blu-ray is relevant to the PS3... feel free to add some dishes to the table if you've got more.Anyway, Phil Harrison spoke a bit about Blu-ray, specifically the boost that will result in PS3 sales because of the Blu-ray's success so far. Citing the growing Blu-ray market, Philly said "that is a positive factor which will play more into the consumer psyche as the year goes on, as more consumer electronics firms launch standalone disc players, as more Blu-ray disc movies become available, and as more shelf space is dedicated to the category at retail." He goes on a bit more, stretching a little. "In America, where PS3 is already out, Blu-ray disc is surging ahead as the next-generation movie format of choice. It's absolutely trouncing any other formats, and I think we'll see the same in Europe and the UK."
There you go, Europe and the UK, the ball's in your court. Hmm... does that saying apply to you? Not sure if basketball is as big over there. Got an equivalent saying for us to use?
