They take ideas off other people and claim it to be new/great.

Blu-ray (HD DVD)
PS3 (Xbox 360/Wii)
and more

They are so far up their own backside its disturbing.

But what they do make (in the end when all possible features are finally on and there is nothing left to do with it) is exceptional, all they need now is a good bunch of games.]]>Jun 26th 2008 5:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/
Concerning Blu Ray... do you think Sony just copied HD DVD, or do you think that perhaps, just perhaps both technologies have been worked on for a long time? Go and read the history about Blu Ray, it's been in development for 6 or 7 years and is the culmination of lots of standards and technologies, many of which are nothing to do with Sony, e.g. BD-J is Java running a modified GEM profile. There were even attempts during the parallel development of these formats to merge them into one.

Concerning the PS3... again what the hell are you smoking? Are you again thinking Sony just pulled the Cell processor, the RSX GPU, Blu Ray out of their backsides and cobbled them together in response to the 360? Or perhaps, just perhaps do you think Sony have been working on this stuff for years? White papers about the cell have been around for years. The specs for the PS3 were already well formed, well before the 360 or Wii appeared. And the Wii actually released after the PS3 so go figure, and the only point of similarity is some motion sensing.

Now Sony were beaten to market in both cases, but so what?]]>Jun 26th 2008 5:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/- Microsoft didn't really invent nothing new with the xbox, nor did sony with the ps3.
- Nintendo didn't invent anything that's on the Wii, they just did an extremely good implementation of existing features.
- Sony is somewhat arrogant at times, but they do make good products, (though overpriced at times)

In the end, everyone copies each other and tries to make it better, which, i think, is a good defenition for "innovation".]]>Jun 26th 2008 5:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/Jun 26th 2008 6:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/
These companies should recognize that humility is a virtue, even if they are the market leaders. It doesn't hurt to be self-deprecating and respectful even if you secretly wish your competitors would die in a fire.]]>Jun 26th 2008 6:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/PS3 has PSN .... hmmmm

Xbox has acheivements
PS3 has trophies .... hmmmm

HD DVD has PiP already built in to every available player.
Blu ray has profile update (making non compatible players OBSOLETE)

HD DVD has online support
Blu ray has profile update... again

I dont know much about other products of sony's but I am sure this trend has happened before.

They ARE japanese.]]>Jun 26th 2008 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/Jun 26th 2008 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/Jun 26th 2008 8:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/
judging from your anti-japanesism and poor english you MUST be korean.

Last time I checked hd-DVDs and Nintendo were both japanese too.

I was in japan 5 years ago and got to see a test run of Blu-Ray disks at the panasonic headquarters...I might be wrong, but this was before HD-DVD was even announced.

xbox came out WAY after Playstation did....so I don't know what your talking about

Sony has had online gaming networks longer then xbox has (just not in the US)

I hope you continue responding, your comments make me lul]]>Jun 26th 2008 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/
Blu ray HAS updates, so if you use your brains and buy a upgradable device, your new player is not already deprecated at launch (unlike a HD DVD player).

I don't really understand your uhm "arguments".]]>Jun 26th 2008 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/Jun 26th 2008 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/26/sony-launching-movie-downloads-in-us-this-summer/

People are OK with "watching" movies, hince the success of PPV, netflix and iPod video rentals.

I think, if sony actually gets it working, this service will do very well (the sony online store is doing very well from the sources I have read)

I do think that the Playstation store is in need of a make over though...took me 20 minutes to find Tekken online (because it was considered an "add-on")
