It sounds like Imperial God is an XBOX fan who hates Sony. Personally I didn't care who won the war as long as one of them did soon. The longer this war raged on the LONGER it was going to take for either of them to catch on. And the longer it took for them to catch on the longer it was going to take for MORE equipment manufacturers to start making players. Now that BluRay has taken over the CONSUMERS can really see if they like HD movies or not seeing how atleast now there will be no more confusion between the 2.

BTW, guys who jump on these banwagons between PS3 and 360 are just hilarious to me. It really shows their age.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I agree... I'm just glad it is pretty much over.

How long till Toshiba starts making Blue-Ray Players... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

I HATE Microsoft and I'm NOT a 360 fan. I'm actually a supporter of blu-ray. I'm glad it's over too, makes it easier on everyone. I just don't like shady companies that do shit like that.

that is pretty **** cheap, but like chad said, it doesnt appear to burn BRD's. i think it is a DVD burner that plays blu-ray. i think maybe a brd burner might be some technology to wait on perhaps...

also, that looks like a desktop drive, which would probably be a hard fit to get it inside a laptop //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
