Sony: Blu-ray will always be part of PS3

Taking Blu-Ray out of the PS3 is akin to taking motion out of the Wii.

Or the RROD out of the 360.

Hah!

You, sir, win the internet.

@Cody

that was really funny

+1 how much do these analysts get paid, and how can I be one?

they get paid handsomely learn to brown nose, tea bag and give good head and balmer will definitely throw you a bone.

If you can rim and give good head at the same time, you can become one of the elite MS shills / analysts,

Well this IS Sony were talking about, never underestimate them

I was equally relieved that all future Wii models will be released with the standard "motion controls". Oh, what a relief.

... you're killing me man.

BLU-RAY. Not Blue-Ray. BLU RAY. Drop the E. The name of the article has it spelled. The technology has been discussed in the media for like five years now. Surely you've seen the correct spelling enough times now to know it's Blu-Ray.

I don't give a shyt. The name is a cover up for the tech. Your name could be Sandlerissinno but you're still the same person so stfu. As if I don't realise how I spell.... I don't care.... k?

Okay man, i'm not gonna be here the rest of the day so I won't be at my PC. So once(if) you reply again, my new response to your will follow as... "SUCK IT" if you critique/contradict my reply.... OR "Well you better!!!" if you say fair enough or don't reply critiquely... LOL forget it FUK YOU!!!

Suck my balls motherfucker What do you come to do here critique the posters? You asshole, apparently you do from reading your posts fuk off troll I could spell how I want i'm not writing for the constituency on this site you bag.

love it

I think your missing the point AKA, all the games are printed on Bluray disc's. They always have been. To bring a Blurayless PS3 out would mean re-releasing all PS3 games on DVD's , this in itself wouldn't be cost effective and would probably end up costing sony more then they would be saving on the Bluray drives.

Not to mention that many PS3 exclusive games use an entire single or double layer BD disc and that means some games would have to be compromised in audio, textures, and features.

Your actually the worst kind of fanboy. The stupid kind. Read a bit more, learn the facts. Don't talk shit about things you know nothing about. BTW, the PS3 is 35 times more powerful then the PS2's GPU and CPU. BTW your an ass clown.

thought I would also mention Aka, Oblivion was on PS3 was reviewed as having better graphics. you can look at the comparison videos yourself. The load periods are much shorter and the 360 version seems to stutter between load periods, PS3's version also has better draw distances and textures. The same is true between the two versions of Grand theft auto 4. Look it up. 360 version aren't always better, both systems have strengths and weaknesses, it really depends on how the game was developed and what the lead platform was.

Im only mentioning this because you are an ass and brought it up earlier. Fallout on 360 has better textures then the PS3 version, its a more subtle difference though.

PS3 exclusives built specifically around PS3's unique architecture look better then 360's exclusives. Killzone 2 , Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid, God of War 3, Flower, etc. The simple fact is PS3 is a more powerful system, it is however harder to code for making ports sometimes less then perfect. Now that the system has been out for 2.5 years we are seeing some phenomenal results and the line up from sony for 2009 is stunning.

Oh, hi gundam.

and also, Fuck you.

lol, hilarious because they do it. on the other hand, I'm glad they did some of that stuff. I don't own a HDTV yet - so why pay more for the ps3? I'd rather they get the motion-sensing in before the rumble- as developers can actually USE it at the beginning. Games without rumble are tollerable, but playing game that requires you to buy a new controller would suck. and... don't care about QORE. never have, don't see the point.so true. basically though, I'm saving money for a good experience that will last me just as long. \

On the other hand, if I bought a xbox 360, I couldn't get that enjoyment. I'd be tethered close to the screen unless I wanted to buy batteries. I'd have to periodically buy batteries unless I purchased recharging ones and a base station. I'd have to run an ethernet cord across the room (sold seperately) over the carpet (trip hazard) to play online (also sold seperately, the cost of a game for every year I want to play, as long as MS agrees to keep the service up - maybe a little after the next xbox comes out). But that's ok, because I have a great media center - minus Bluray of course. but I can stream data from a windows-based pc too - assuming a buy a new computer with an inferior OS. but it's all ok becuase I still have exlusives that the ps3 doesn't have... like oblivion (crap), Fallout 3 (crap) fable 2 (finally). What other exlusives do you have? well of course Resistance 2 (wait... wrong system) Killzone 2 (again... man I suck), Orange box (wait... that's both), Gears of War 2, Halo 3 (yay, those are exclusive!). Hmmm, well on the stealth-action xbox 360 does have splinter cell (yay, none of that low-rated mgs4... wait... that got good ratings right? don't pay attention to the competition).

If you want to troll, please don't do it here. I will personally tear you apart. go back to where your friends are, and pay $50 a year to play with them.

My, how quickly we forget things like the suit with Immersion Corp for infringing their patent on the technology that went into the Dual Shock controller. Sony didn't include the Dual Shock 3 at launch because they were still tied up in negotiations over the suit.

Admittedly, it was kinda silly for Phil Harrison to go and say that rumble was "last gen" just to cover for the fact that the PS3 was shipping without it.

For opportunists who didn't care about rumble, it was a chance to snag some extra SIXAXIS controllers from people eBaying their old ones on the cheap.

Nonetheless, the suggestion was retarded and revealed a lack of understanding of electronics in any form. PS3 games *play* on the Blu-Ray drive. If the guy was talking about movie functionality, removing that would involve removing a bit of firmware and a driver that probably costs Sony under $10 combined.
