[quote name="Oom Shnibble"][quote name="casual observer"]What, like movie industry is going to ignore a possible outlet for their product, or that the console manufacturers will choose to lose features on their machines? I've been playing DVD movies on my PS2 pretty much since the dawn of time itself, something which it had to be designed (and since we're talking about it, the manufacturing facilities for the console had to be conceived as being capable of installing said readers on it) to do. This generation we had it easy, SVCD was still pretty much readable by normal CD-roms with only a few driver improvements. The NEXT generation, however, is taking things a little more to the extremes. To Blu or not to Blu is going to be a critical decision, if not for right then, but in retrospect when you're dead and people are tossing cigarette butts onto your grave from 50,000 feet-high gridlock.[/quote] The entertainmentindustry ignores the fact that I cannot play their so called copy protected "CD"s in my car so it wouldn't surprise me. A quick word of advice though - don't choose your console based on what optical disk format it uses. Buy it based on the quality of the games released. Wait for a while and when you buy a nice high definition TV in three to five years time go and buy whichever player won the war. That's what I plan on doing. I have a moral objection to fighting someone elses war, bloody or bloody technological in nature. THE SHNIBBULAR ONE, OOM[/quote]
