Comments on: Sunday Circulars and stuff http://www.sportsgamerblog.com/2006/10/29/sunday-circulars-and-stuff/ Two guys who love Sports Gaming on their PCs and consoles rant and rave about various stuff.

A high end AV buyer would NOT have a PS3 playing movies, regardless of resolution or anything like that. You wouldn't go into Tweeter and ask for a PS3...I think that you'd probably go to Crutchfield and buy a HDDVD player over blu-ray anyway.<br/><br/>The better movies are going to have to come out in the better formats to get people to buy them. Honestly I think HDDVD will win out. Just because it has HD in the title will make it better than blu ray. Blu Ray sounds like some sort of cosmic freak show. I still disagree with you.

They are going to people who buy home theatre equipment and this is supposed to be a very good blu ray player at 400 dollars less than the cheapest a blu ray player lists for in the store now and up 800 dollars less than the most expensive one will be. <br/><br/>i do believe that it was promised around 100 movies by xmas so they passed that mark. <br/><br/>again im no supporter of blu ray or hd dvd or 360 or ps3. i just think that the 3 movie remark was not warrented. and just because star wars and lord of the rings arent available doesnt mean that all the movies stink.<br/><br/>Actually my gues sis sonys biggest problem is that the unit will not have alot of games sold with them as more than you think they are being bought to lay movies well i gotta say there are ALOT more hd player buyers out there than you think and alot of ps3 are going to goto people that dont play games at all.

again im no supporter of blu ray or hd dvd or 360 or ps3. i just think that the 3 movie remark was not warrented. and just because star wars and lord of the rings arent available doesnt mean that all the movies stink.

Actually my gues sis sonys biggest problem is that the unit will not have alot of games sold with them as more than you think they are being bought to lay movies

A lot more than 125. <br/><br/>Kinda sounds like Fox News there. And just like with the Xbox 360, you can say there are 150 movies, but what are they? Sorry, Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift isn't what I'm looking for.<br/><br/>I think you're taking way to much offense to my statement. I completely agree, HD is better than SD...but between an $800 TiVo and a $600 DVD player, that's a bit insane.
