Here’s some mental math on an untested theory: Yesterday I ribbed the PS3 for lack of a solid game collection. If you ask the Blu-ray consortium why their disc sales have gone so well, they’ll reply “PS3″. It appears Blu-ray disc playing may be the best use for the machine at this point. A few weekends ago, Variety reported that Halo 3′s launch obliterated box office sales. Home or theatre, movies and games compete for similar spaces in our lives. So my thinking is, if PS3 games get a lot better, will that impact Blu-ray disc sales negatively? Or will it be a wash since more consoles will sell? It’s just a thought to ponder on this foggy day in SF.

Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 5:47 PMI think the ps3 crowd over exaggerate every aspect of the ps3 . I know several 1000 people in person and online and “3″ own working ps3′s . dozens of them have been DOA from the box . dozens more went MIA during game play , few dozen more have completely ruined some tv’s , Plus the hdmi to dvi handshake problem . and all but them 3 people 2 women and 1 man have returned them all for refund . From where I am setting Ps3 isn’t a sure fire bet and it’s failure rate is climbing faster than xbox360′s . I suggest to people everyday to avoid playstation 3 and bluray until sony get their dam act together .
