lol, it appears these guys like blueray, although there is one major flaw. They complained about XBL fees in round 6. Yet say nothing about how bluerays cost more than DVDs. Usually anywhere from 5-15 dollars on the same movie. It's essentially the same thing. You are paying for higher quality.

Except on Xbox you can buy a full 1080p downloaded movie with surround sound for 1600 points (20 bucks in the US).

What do you expect from a free service? I don't think you can hate Sony for that.

inferior third party games.
If you're talking about multiplats, you can't fault Sony for that. That's the developer's fault, and the inferiority is incredibly minor.

Delayed games.
You mean like Gran Turismo 5? I think that's the developer, not Sony. Do we fault Bethesda Softworks because id Software delayed RAGE? Do we fault Microsoft because Remedy delayed Alan Wake for years?

So is Steam, but thats PC so im not sure you compare that, but alot of peeps tend to compare 360 to PC.
Yeah, but PC online services are on a much higher level compared to console online services.

No not fully 100% blame sony, but if the hardware and software which sony have is hard to for the third party company to do, its not thier fault neither.
Well some third-party devs know how to do it, so clearly others can do it as well.

GT5 is developed by Polyphony Digital, which are an developing company of Sony Computer Entertainment so thats sony to blame fully. Also Socom 4 as another example which has been delayed. They are developed by Zipper Interactive which are owned by Sony Corporation so thats another one they are blamed for.
If the developers need more time, that's their fault for delaying.

I blame Polyphony because they've been working on stupid stuff like 3D support and headtracking. Because of the time spent on that now GT5 will be 80% last gen looking cars with no interior cams .

I wouldn't call them "last gen-looking cars" at all.

Well..they've been updated ever-so-slightly (the upgraded GT4 vehicles I'm talking about here), but they're not on-par with GT5's regular vehicles or Forza 3's for that matter. In fact they're not as good as PGR4's imo. :/ So maybe next-gen but early next-gen lol

What do you mean they don't look as good as the newer ones?
Elaborate.

They are retextured cars, but come on...They look very low poly and inaccurate. Premiums however look spectacular...such a shame though they focused on stupid 3D.

3D, just another stupid gimmick. As if any sane person would splash 3000 $/£/Euro on a fucking 3DTV.

Ive never seen 3D TV so I cant say if it feels gimmicky or not. But like all new tech it will eventually become affordable. I bet in 5 years 42“ LEDs with google tv and 3D built in will be under $500

Here's Blunty's review of 3D TV

I agree with the video for the most part. I think Sony should've won the Games Segment too, though. Sony wins! lol
