I have also read that HD-DVD players would also play CH-DVDs with a firmware update. (treat this info as a rumour since I haven't been able to confirm it anywhere else)

I mean honestly, this has got to be a joke, what are those executives smoking?

Those executives are smoking cigars rolled out of $100 bills from the monthly fees people pay to play an MMO. Personally, I'd rather take an 80 grit orbital sander to my eyeballs than pay a reguired $10-$15 monthly fee on top of the cost of the game.

For that money I could buy a brand new game every 3-4 months and that is exactly what I do.

Way I see it is that I still pop in Diablo I/II or Fallout 1/2 as well as others and play through them atleast once a year and some of those titles I bought over ten years ago.

As long as there is one, solitary, single moron out there that thinks the monthly fee structure somehow delivers some sort of value that can't be done without paying a monthly fee, then there will be atleast one snake oil selling executive out there saying that games based on monthly fees are the way of the future.

I went to Sony's Consumer Services contact section here:

And Sent them this e-mail:

Dear Sony Representative,

Recently in an interview with Electronics Gaming Monthly magazine Jack Tretton promised to give $1200 for every Playstation 3 that we found on store shelves in North America for more than 5 minutes. So far, in my area of North America alone, I have found 38 systems on store shelves for well over 5 minutes. I was wondering how I go about collecting the $45,600 that Mr Tretton presently owes me aswell as future monies that will be owed to me for future finds?

Thank you,
Steve Fleming


Anyway, I am waiting for a reply... I'll let everyone know what I get back!

Well alwayzbusi1, I know that PC games are STILL being released on cd today and have only recently started shipping on dvd and they look equal or better than anything on the PS3 to date... In a year from now when PC games are finally universally shipping on DVD and thouroughly trouncing ANYTHING seen on consoles I guess your answer will be clear.

Wow, everyone else is a 'nerd' yet you read, processed and completed your 1st comment(#6) on this article within 13 minutes of it being posted. Then a number of 'nerdy' comments after that were addressing the shortfalls and lack of foresight of your comment.

Explain to me why everyone else is a 'nerd'?
