Why do you think the PS3 will be obsolete? It has more
then enough processing power to be able to emulate the
functionality needed to do PiP which is the only thing
added to the 1.1 standard. Why do you believe Sony won't
just release a firmware/software update which tells the
system how to deal with the new standard?
While this may be an issue for other stand-alone products,
something that has the computing capability such as the
PS3 should have very little problems at all in being able
to deal with this change.
I hope your right, i've bought into both formats, blu-ray via a PS3, and a standalone HD DVD player, this article did set alarm bells ringing though.
If I had spent £1000 pounds on a stand alone blu ray player only to find out within months that it would not do everything the format was capable of, I would be p****d off to say the least.
I have no preference for either format, however I think it's a disgace that the blu ray camp should bring product's to market with reduced functionality where hd dvd is fully formed.
