Ahhhh screw it...I just bought a PS3

[Rob.D.inToronto]

60GIG with the emotion chip. I need the ability to play PS2 games and I cannot stand missing out on the Rat. That damn Rat just cost me 600 bucks. And real money too, Canadian dollars.

I am now officially purple, but a dark reddish purple coz I won't buy a blu movie that doesn't have IME.

I am more than 90% confident that the PS3 will be 1.1 ready, it might take a time but Sony will figure it out.

Since there aren't too many movies that I want that are blu, I'll sell my five free movies to lower the total cost of this purchase.

I just want the Rat. That damn rat....i hate the rate....bitch...friggen french rat too...

Shall I expect you to be a bit more friendly towards blu now?

And congrats on getting PS3...look forward to some awesome games end of this year and 2008 onwards. Notice how quiet the machine is

I will wait until BD catches up with HD with functionality, so talk to me in 2008!

Don't expect me to buy Spider-Man 3 either. I am looking at a Sense and Sensibility for the wife.

Might make her less mad at me!

Welcome aboard the purple train, now I am starting to like you again after that terrible "who needs 50GB writable discs, other than pirating" post.

Which 5 free movies are you getting? Also did you know that Amazon is offering 2 Free additional BD movies on the spot? in addition to the standard 5 free BD movies by mail?

Coming from you, Rob. I'm shocked... even impressed Enjoy your bloody rat! (just kidding about the bloody bit.)

Looking forward to hearing your impressions of the PS3.
I'm certainly very happy with mine. For pc compatibility I've had the best luck streaming & enjoying stored media from my pc with the Nero Media 7 thingy.
Anyways, Enjoy!!!

Are we talking about that "Ratatoullie" movie? I havent seen it but I was gonna buy it anyways because the Bluray trailer looked AMAZING! SO if good 'ole Toronto Rob went Neutral and spent $600 to watch it then I am definitely buying it for sure now!

Too late, already bought it on SonyStyle Canada.

If I were traveling south in the next few weeks I'd amazon it, but I won't be going south until next year (maybe by then profile 1.1 will be out).

Duties/taxes etc: would kill me on this item.

The PS3 is really the only choice to get with BD, I was looking at the Samsung 1400 but it might not be 1.1 ready.

...Also...there is no need for burning 50gig discs. My home office HDD has two 500gig HDDs, one is a mirror of the first and external.

I'm not gonna swap out 10 50gig discs to backup my system.

Yes, that Goddamn rat cost me 600 bucks.

If Disney goes neutral I am going to FREAK.

You hear that Igar, you bastard, you'd better keep to your speech that you gave yesterday.

For portability reasons, I guess I just REALLY hate my 250GB external disk...it just blows!!! Would much rather carry around writable BD-50's and bundleall of my South Park seasons together!

This may sound funny and a bit sarcastic, but Sony would go neutral before Disney does...

Owners should be harder on Blu-ray because they should want their product to be complete. If BD wins then I don't want to buy a half-assed product that's confusing and expensive.

ummmm...I hate to say this but...that is ... er.... pirating according to the DMCA.

You know ... copying South Park onto BD-Rs.

All you need to do is get a 2.5" hardrive that's in a portable enclosure. Much smaller. I'd rather carry around that enclosure than a bunch of discs. And those blank BDs are expensive.

Damn straight. As far as I am concerned until BD catches up with HD I simply will always buy HD.

I'll sell my old PS2 as well, may as well min. this cost.

I might get 20 bucks a movie for the five, that is 100.00, and 50.00 for the PS2 so I've lowered my cost to 450.00, which is ok for me.

So I can call Bill Hunt a dickhead and not be a fanboi.
