This week's launch of the Blu-ray Disc format, much like that of rival HD-DVD in mid-April, was more a dress rehearsal than anything else.
On Tuesday, the first seven titles, all from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, went on sale at select consumer electronics stores. The first player, from Samsung, was scheduled to go on sale five days later, but reports indicate that few retailers kept the machines in the backroom and away from the trickle of consumers willing to shell out $999 -- twice the cost of the entry-level HD-DVD player, from Toshiba -- to buy one now that the software was available.
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

"I am evaluating my Blu-ray player, but based on my initial experience, I am most likely going to return it," Olshansky said. "I don't see enough value to justify spending $999 when HD-DVD is currently superior to Blu-ray and less expensive."
However much you like/dislike the format you cannot deny that this sort of launch was inevitable, who would rush out to get an expensive unit at the start of a format war when a $600 unit arrives in less than 5 months?
I personally don't think much of Bluray but the situation will get better for it, it may slump again later but this is nothing for Sony & Co to worry about.
People do not even realize that the PS3 is Sony’s grand finally or desperation move. They are hoping that the risk pays off. I would like to see it work for them but it they have a slim chance that it will work. The 360 are in the best position in the world right now. They have broken Sony’s sales record, they have also produced a console that is easy for dev. to develop for, a working unified on line network, they have not taken any unnecessary risks. And most of all they have created the best consol that has been seen or read about in years Including the PS3 if you still think that is BS your are behind the curve. (Removing vibration, adding blue ray, and developing a cell processor with only one general propose core, the 2nd highest priced console in history, the 1st console in history with a high price but no real advantage over the competition graphically or in game play at all, poor public relations, and poor developer support, removing features that were promised in the being like 2x screen display and more, and so on and so on.) Play Station is the Barry Bonds of the game industry. Sorry guys you have been duped for years just swallow it
IPPON!!!!!!!!!! I with Thammer on this 1.
lol it don`t change the fact that the other console still stays lame..well u know which one i mean
