Hey, great link Marwin!
That page will be great for the paper I'm writting on the Blu-Ray for my Technical Communications project.
That's awesome, I figured Sony would put that together eventually.
Of course Sony's BDZ-S77 has DVD/CD playback (CD along with DVD is a given) because it would otherwise serve no purpose but to burn and watch your own Blu-ray discs, and that would suck. But the thing costs over $3,000 and the PS3 will HAVE to be priced under $400 (likely $299, just like the PSOne and PS2 cost at their launch). The question is... Will the PS3 have burning capabilities? I think not, so that drops the price a good deal.
... Unless Sony goes along with the new PSX concept... They might actually release two different hardware options as speculated: one with no burning capabilities-just your gaming system, and another with a burner and a Tivo hard drive for a few hunded bucks more.
My previous post was pretty concerned with the fact that game console sales never make the companies any money (they actually loose money on hardware sales, it's the software publishing that brings the dough), so Sony might be a little hard pressed to keep the hardware costs to a minimum. This new 3-wavelength head is just what the PS3 will need, I'm stoked!
