Blu-ray and PS3 are off to one great year! - Blu-ray Forum

I feel like a can let out a big sigh of relief as my 2 favorite things blu-ray and PS3 are doing awesome. For blu-ray first Warner Bros. then Netflix and Best Buy, and now Wal-Mart all go blu-ray exclusive. Wow this is one awesome start of a year.

This is so awesome to see how well blu-ray and PS3 are doing lately. If you google the news for blu-ray as far as the media is concerned HD-DVD is dead and blu-ray is the clear winner. With the PS3 passing the Xbox 360 sales for January and only a few thousand behind the Nintendo Wii we are off to a great year!

Add a future price cut and several blockbuster titles coming this year and you just cant help getting giddy.

Anyone who look down on Blu-ray and PS3 in the past two years must have alot to swallow right now.

I agree! Sony knew it was a gamble, but if blu-ray took off thanks to the PS3 they would become the Next DVD.

It's kinda funny in a way, cause outside of this forum, there's ALOT of people who hate PS3 and Blu-ray. Why? They never have a proper answer for their hate.

iNCREDiPiNOY · 02-15-2008, 02:49 AM

Horray!

The Blu wave will ROLL ON in 08!!!!!

It's the general hate of Sony which is weird, the PS2 was widely liked so I don't know where this hate is coming from. Sure their products are usually over priced but that doesn't mean you have to buy it. I guess it might be Sony's arrogance to force people to use their stuff, Mem Sticks, UMD, mini disc....

Should we hate refrigerator company as well for forcing us to use their fridge?

I have as well although shelling out $599.00 for the system in November 06 made me ask myself at one point if I was crazy. Once I saw my first blu-ray I knew it was worth the investment.

Yeah everyone thinks I was crazy for paying that much for a PS3, but so far it's been the best console I have ever had. The games and Blu Ray movies are incredible.

Looks like you got it good to go, all you need next is an HDTV.

I got the same when I bought a 20 gig ps3 and a 60 gig ps3 on launch.

EA games is even saying that the PS3 will overtake the shitbox by mid this year

I think 90% of the hate is from misplaced console gamers who backed other systems in the past and were bitter of their choice not coming in first in past generations. They were always there, just outnumbered and growing bitter. I think most secretly envy PS3 but don't want to actually spend money on it so it became cool to hate it last year.

Now they are just loud. The anti-Sony crowd is actually shrinking if you follow more respected sites.
