According to Kiyoshi Nishitani, Sony's managing director in charge of Blu-ray Disc development and next-generation home electronics, the Playstation 3 [PS3], due out next year, is likely to be fully HDTV (1920 by 1080 pixel) compatible, and to incorporate a (Blu-ray) BD-ROM drive which can also play existing CDs and DVDs. As well as playing games, when linked up to an appropriate display, it will be able to play 1920 by 1080p24 cinema mode films – offering levels of picture quality previously only seen in cinemas.

A subsequent move from MPeg2 to Mpeg4 video compression would leave plenty of space and bandwidth for uncompressed 7.1 or more channel SACD sound - for the real cinema experience - only better, and great for live concerts...
