Building a new computer

[Dark Jaguar]

We'll know if they struck some deal with Sony when Toshiba starts making Bluray players. In the mean time, that would be the logical thing to do. I mean it's either they give up early or go on in spite of their failure and just lose even more money.

Because the internet has made porn discs, to some extent, irrelevent.

Not as irelevant as say the magazines which have sufferd huge losses since the internet went big.

Porn disc are doing ok ; Girls gone wild has made a fortune .

Not true, companies can reach agreements to stop manufacturing something (legally) through an agreed sum. It's totally mafia but it works. Dont forget that BR is also failing because interest just isn't there. But now that the quickening is over and there can be only one it's possible that Sony could break in to the masses. I dont see that happening anytime soon but... if Sony could release a cheap BR/DVD player and get some good movies... I mean, why haven't we seen this:

*black screen*

It's finally here

*low chello, start of Jaws music*

Now you can see

*music swells*

the way it was meant to be seen

*HD Bruce ATTACK*

The way it was meant

*audio of scene from Jurassic Park where the kids are getting attacked by the T-Rex in gorgeous crystal clear 7.1*

to be heard.

*brief HD shot of Rex roaring with tire in his mouth*

And like you've never seen

*quiet, sounds of birds chirping, harp begins to play*

before.

*Dorothy opens the door revealing the HD land of Oz*

Dont watch movies.

*black screen, dead silent*

Experience them

*montage (music = John Williams, Cadilac of the skies) of HD Saving Private Ryan D-Day scene, Indiana Jones chase on cycle/boat turns in to Bat mobile from Begins rooftop chase as Bat Mobile launches off ramp, touches down as the ferarri from Ferris Bueller's Day Off that cuts to police cars crashing and the Blues Bros look at eachother (music change to jazzy/blues) Raccoon: Score hotdogs! other raccoon: Yunno what hotdogs are made of? cut to: flashback of John Candy facing the bald bear, as the bear roars it cuts to the little girl screaming from Poltergeist Priest: We wont hurt you Carrol Anne door slams black guy: We need more wood, and some nails. Look, do you hear me? *Blond woman sits on couch with blank stare* hey, those things are out there and if we dont board this place up-- Blond woman: Johnny said.... they're coming to get you, Barbara... black guy: Who's Johnny? cut to: Johnny as zombie breaking in to house cut to: driving through suburban area, zombies everywhere (dawn of the dead) woman crashes in to tree, goes black: heavy breathing - fade in: Riply holding Newt, Hicks, Vazquez and others standing silently hearing the blips on the motion detectors becoming louder Hicks: It says they're inside. Vaz: Leme see it. Rip: They are inside *she looks up* cut in motion to rocket from Apollo 13 launching in to space, full star field backdrop as Monolith from 2001 turns to catch light and reveal itself*

Sony Bluray.

Popcorn not included.

I mean why isn't sony actually trying to entice with the format? I haven't seen a single commercial just advertizing the format as what it is.
