Sony just keeps getting better

^ I'm just kidding.

Two more lawsuits against Sony for removing the Other OS feature.

If you've added let it say the way it was meant and no one will ever complain, unless faulty hardware shows up (like PS2's laser problem - "back in the days").

Well, they deserve it, as they advertised that function quite a lot.
I don't use it, but if I did I know I would be pissed.

Wow I see, well Sony just doesn't surprise me anymore. They just disappoint me....

Sega was killed because this company happened to make a dvd player selling for cheaper than any other and it just happened to be a game console too.  Sony sucks(imo), give us back sega.

I believe if the PS2 had no DVD player, the dreamcast might not have won but it might have hung in there easily enough.  Like I said.  The PS2 was the cheapest DVD player out there early on.

Didn't they do the same with blue ray? They released it when blue ray was just getting out and they did the same deal. I don't think they were that successful but I would get me a PS3 in the future for media purposes, that's about it.

Blu-Ray won over HD-DVD, but that's because Blu-Ray had more space than HD-DVD.

I see it as Sony stole the idea of HD-DVD and tweaked it more then named it Blu-Ray, it can handle up to 50GB but damn that's not a lot now.

Like OnLive is coming, maybe it's the console killer and so a Blu-Ray killer can also be coming out soon.

This is just me thinking but anything is possible now.

Sony didn't create Blu-Ray

Blu-Ray was developed before HD-DVD.  If any copying was done (and there wasn't) it was the other way around.

Both formats are useless, anyway.  Digital distribution will kill them and any future formats off.

Ah okay thanks for the feedback Joe'.

Digital distribution is actually good but a hard-copy is better.

[UglyJoe]

Fact: not everyone can stream high-quality video.
Fact: not everyone prefers digital to hard-copy.

The tipping point will be when those two markets become so small that it is no longer profitable to cater to them.  I'm not saying physical media will be dead tomorrow, but it will die off in favor of digital distribution eventually.
