Most people on this board are tech-junkies and want nothing but the latest and greatest, myself included.

How come people on this board pretend that in 10 years they are still going to be clutching to their PS3's?? Its just totally untrue...

We are all pouring thousands to tens of thousands of dollars into upgrading our systems so that we can enjoy the best that is currently available to us in the home entertainment market.

Does anyone really think that the meat and potatoes of the PS3 are still going to be able to compete in five years with the newest consoles that are out? I highly doubt it.


The fact of the matter is, is that in five years I bet there will be a new Microsoft and Sony console out, and the PS3 will just like the PS2 is now, a great system on the slow decline of new content. I understand that its a very powerful machine by todays standards, but not by standards five years from now, especially with how fast technology is always growing.

Five years? Yes, I'll still have the PS3. Why?

Well, I had my same DVD player for 7 years - guess what, they only recently came out with something worth upgrading for - HD.

I had my same receiver for over 10 years - guess what, they only recently came out with lossless. Alright, time to upgrade.

And last, if they are having this hard of a time getting people to see the difference between DVD and HD discs, what is going to be coming in the near future to offer a definitive difference for people to upgrade from HD discs?

Even with "True-Color" people won't see that big of a difference. Sound, are we going to get more lossless?

I think we are good for a little while. The next thing that come out is going to have to be substantial for people to move ahead.

We'll see.
