Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
Sony is shooting themselves in the foot basically. Only die-hard gamers will pony up for the Playstation 3 with it's high cost. Sony is trying to kill 2 birds with one stone, that is get huge market share gains on both Blu-Ray and PS3 in one swoop. It will backfire. I don't know anyone that uses their game console to watch movies, even though it is capable of doing so. Sony is an extremely thick-headed company.
All this is doing is allowing HD-DVD to gain momentum and market share. Blue-Ray as a technology is not ready for prime-time, both the players and media. HD-DVD media is ready (1080p, movie extras, advanced codecs) and the next generation of HD-DVD players should bring the consumer the same experience they have with traditional DVD players.
