The Playstation 3 is an incredible gaming machine – I have no doubts about that because I have had incredible experiences with it. However, it is an expensive console and honestly requires a HDTV for optimal gaming. Most of the community respects the Playstation 3, but the Wii and XBOX360 have dominated sales time and time again and have an enormous userbase. Sony is now looking to make more of an impact with consumers by making hybrid Blu-ray with a game and movie on the same disc. There is no official word as to if the movie will be in pure HD, as some Playstation 3 games can take up to 30-40GB of disc space on a 50GB disc, leaving little room for a full HD movie. VideoBusiness has more of the scoop.
“We are actively pushing, and the way that we see the future is that the movie and the game are placed on the same disc,” said John Koller, director of hardware marketing for the PS3. “There are a lot of developers who say, we have this game based on a movie, wouldn’t it be great to marry these concepts? We will definitely see this stuff this year.”
