PS3 - What will it do to PC gaming?

[cyberfluxor]

Simple answer: No.

Drop the HDDVD vs. Blu-Ray. Too much discussion to fight over it in this thread, and I believe it was already done in another. Just refer to that one. Play nice.

blue ray will fail, fall, crash and burn like every other sony format ever. hddvd is the future. youll be seeing hddvd pc games in about 8 years id say.

considering that sony helped develope the standard DVD as we know it, expect blu-ray to stick it out, hell we're still in the tail end of the dvd+r versus dvd-R. i know one of the concerns about hd-dvd/blu-ray is that they don't want movie playback on pc's unless it's heavily governed, the possibility of piracy and people running movies through tv-out instead of $1000+ players makes them sick to their stomach.

if there was going to be an impact from the ps3/360/Rev, it'll be if online explodes to massive proportion, taking away from MMO games and causing net slowdown, it might even help fibre optic lines get a more stable foothold as the need will outweigh the cost.
