The Sony desktops thread - Blu-ray Forum

Kino-Chan fan · 11-29-2009, 05:05 AM

Hi there! I was looking around and noticed there was no similar thread, so I made this one.

Ever since my old desktop died on me, I have been planning on to get a Sony one, though they are expensive, and now even more with BD.

Well the latest models, the L series are not as expensive as past models and have touch display on screen; but then I saw that their BD drives don't write, just read.

So why do you think their newer models don't have BD writing? Their past models, the VGC-RT's did had writing (but still no touch screen) and still are more expensive than the new models. So what gives?

My guess is that maybe the product would be too expenisve with both BD writer and touch screen. Has Sony ever said something on this?

no offense, but why dont you just build ur own desktop? i didnt even think there was still a market for pre-packaged computers anymore

its cheaper which allows u to get better components in there ^^

as for bd-writers being included, i just dont think there's as large a market for them since they are still relatively pricey and without including one they're able to sell at a lower pricepoint which would appeal to ppl more especially at this time

I second that!!!

I built my first computer a couple years ago. Saved a nice sum of money and it was painless!
I have a picture of it in my gallery.
Just don't skimp on the power supply. That is the most important part of the computer!
