Disney Helping Promote PS3 and Blu-ray

In the latest Disney commercials for newly released Disney Blu-ray movies and games Disney is giving the PS3 some added promotion stating that the product "Plays on Blu-ray players and PlayStation 3."

This is great news for Sony and it appears that Disney and Sony have some sort of partnership which has made this type of advertisement a reality.

ahhhhhhhhhh the hd format war plot thickens.

edit: i know how blue ray is doing...but you know we are still going to get the " hd dvd selling more stand alone players and blah blah blah " stories

[shmee]

have you been sleeping all these days

90% of the Japanese manufacturers are producing just the BD drives.

BD outguns HD DVD 9;1 in JAPAN and 4:1 in EUROPE

even TRANSFORMERS couldnt help see HD DVD surge past BD just for a single week.

can u even imagine what happens when bigger titles like Spiderman 3 and Pirates 3 hit the market

[Real gamer 4 life]

it just got that worst for hd-dvd. Man Disney is huge, parents are going to wanna buy those disney movies for there kids, and since diesney is blueray exclusive. this isnt going to look good.

[ruibing]

Especially now that Disney has Pixar back. I would love to get some of the new Pixar movies and old Disney classics on BD this holiday. Life is good.

[solar]

when you throw kids into the mix of the format wars....your waking up a whole new animal.

[J@D]

and that's my actual confirmation that KH3 will be on the PS3 ^_^ (Yeah, I know I'm quite *cough*completely*cough* off-topic lol)

But, this is HUGE*

[eagle21]

This is the first real blu ray x-mas. Last year the world had no clue. But the future comes so fast, huh?

[SIX]

I just bought Pirates 2 and Apocalypto. Disney had this buy one get one free deal last week. I don't know if it's still going on though, but yeah, Disney is a very powerful ally.

[Real gamer 4 life]

the scary thing is that blueray help sony but at the sametime hurt sony. Its hurt them because the ps3 high price was a barrier for people. but at the sametime the reason Blueray is basically dominating this format war is because of the ps3. But if blueray becomes the next format for the world and completly knock dvd and hd-dvd, then sony is profit is going to skyrocket of the charts. the company is going to be worth more.

Daughter: Mom I want Aladdin in High Def to watch on the tv daddy got.

Mom: Ok lets go get it!

Mom: (to sales clerk) I want a disney movie in High Def where is that.

Dork: Over here ma'am

Mom: These players are expensive...

Dork: We have this ps3 that plays blu-ray for $399 over here

Mom: This is great for daddy and daughter...SOLD

LOL sorry i'm at work and delusional...TGIF

[SmokeyMcBear]

i was waiting for the punchline.. and you disappointed me

[YoMeViet]

time for Mickey to work his magic and boost Blu-Ray sales this holiday.
Disney is the core for Blu-Ray to win no doubt about it.

[hahahabutt]

Is this a gamers web site or a movie website???? seriously this whole format war should not be here. let the movie fans fight over that. This is corny. game news please!!!!!!

[judd]

It is under the Tech tab. Blu-Ray is a technology of the PS3. HD-DVD is something you can add on to the 360. How does this not apply? I can understand your complaint if it was under the Wii tab or something, but this is the TECHNOLOGY tab.

[XxZxX]

this holiday is going to be big for PS3. It will good to see how this match up with HD-DVD and XBOX Halo 3

[unlimited]

ps3 is unstoppable..

[Shankle]

Didn't disney already let microsoft put all their movies on xbox live?
This isn't a rhetorical question by the way

[THE_JUDGE]

Disney let some of their Beauna Vista movies on XBL not actual Disney movies. The classics will be on Blu-ray.

[razer]

Yes, Disney will help get the word out about one of the best movie player on the market, PS3.

Disney is doing great things for both the 360 and PS3. Since MS and Disney have a partnership to deliver their content online via the Video Marketplace and with Disney supporting Blu-ray I think it will be interesting..

[fenderputty]

didn't you? You're such a tool.

[HarryEtTubMan]

Disney supports BLU RAY and SONY ONLY as far as the fornat wars go... just like ever other company/electronics manufacturer except for paramount and Dreamworks which will OBVIOUSLY do the smart thing and change when their deal is up also.

[PimpHandHappy]

the only times i have seen a Disney TV spot they end with "In True Hi-Def Blueray disk"

Most times i change channels when i see a Disney add

This is the biggest holiday season ever for Sony. If they dont start selling games and if multi-platform games like The Orange Box and COD4 end up not matching the 360 the PS3 will become the entertainment hub its wants to be but at the cost of "top of the heap" gaming market.

I myself bought my PS3 for games that i played on the PS2. Socom MGS GT5 GTA GOW Shadow of the Colossus. I wanted those games next gen.

With the couple great, AND I MEAN GREAT, new PS3 games HS RFOM WARHAWK i see a few parts 2 and other crack habbits "warhawk socom" become reality.

btw i know i got off point

[PimpHandHappy]

yea Disney isnt on Sony's side per say. They just like blueray over HD-DVD. Thats all

I heard you can download Disney movies on the 360, i dont have one yet, but i also heard it doesnt look very good and if you want to make a collection out of the stuff u download u will need the 120GB Elite.

Sony has the entertainment biz on lock down. This is one place MS will never touch Sony. They make hardware but they do alot more then just that in the entertaniment biz

[Premonition]

Even though you are able to download movies on xbox live that are Disney, the majority of the consumers dont know about this, so Disney will look better on sony's side since the public can actually physically see them in stores, and the fact that Disney is advertising PS3 on tv is a even better deal.

[demolitionX]

Sony should push hard with disney on promoting the PS3. imagine guys an ad on TV that has mickey and goofy playing ratchet and clank on PS3!!LOL...... that would sell PS3 like hotcakes!!!

[athlon770]

Now THAT is what I'm talking about! You sir get a bubble!

[King2008]

Wasnt really going for the 1,2 punch there just something that came to mind when thinking of Disney and Blu-Ray and how it may effect parents thinking for getting a ps3.

[Synex]

Business is so exciting!

[Bill Gates]

Once upon a time there were these two formats.

HD-DVD was the shiety format that ALL the dumb people supported.

Blu-ray was DA BOMB format that ALL the smart people supported.

Blu-ray won.

The End!......SUCKAS!!!!!

How to build your transformer looking of a system(360).

*First lay down you shiety 360 surrounded by at least 13 fans pointing directly at it so it doesn't blow up the first week.

*Next stack your shiety cheap dead format add on on top of it.

*Now plug in the ugly hunchback looking HDD to the back of it.

*What's that, you don't want to run an internet wire? No problem, just GO OUT AND BUY the WiFi ADD ON sperate. Now glue it to the system any way you want. Cause here at M$, we like to give you the CHOICE.

*What's that you have a Bluetooth headset that you use with your phone and would like to use it with our system? TOO BAD!! go out and buy OURS you SUCKA!!

*Sorry our system does NOT output 1080p. It's all just SMOKE and MIRRORS, but we're not sorry, we just keep denying it. Just like Mr. Bush.
AAAAHAHAHHAHAHAAHhAHAHA

[jaja1434]

I've always wondered why Disney even cares about HD. Except for a few odd movies such as Pirates/Nation Treasure, most of Disney is about cartoons which mean nothing in HD. But I suppose they have their reasons.

[darthv72]

also promote that their movies are available on xbox live? Disney is all about the DLC considering that anything shown on ABC is advertised as viewable online and who owns ABC...........?

[no_more_heroes]

there is a promotion giving away ps3s on ESPN that I see all the time.
