Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
TubbyJ, go look though some facts... and even 1x bluray will be more than double the amount of reading speed than a good dvd reader.
yes, but you have to understand that EVERYTHING gets bigger. sure 1-2x bluray will be faster than dvd drives, but its still going to be loading Massive HD files. you do realize the switch to bluray isnt for speed, right?, its just to store the insanely huge textures for hd viewing. like every new technology, it gets better with time.
2x CDROM was slow as shit 2x DVDROM is slow as shit, and 2x BDROM will be slow as shit.
sony got lucky with the ps2, as dvd was brand new, and in Japan, the ps2 was the cheapest dvd plyer around, the ps2's were flying off the shelves because everyone wanted to watch The Matrix.
Sony's hoping for the same this time around. will they make bluray a succes? who knows. i could care less, as HD sets are still too pricey. i wont be buying HDTV till its a reasonable price like say...500 dollars.
dont get me wrong, im not bashing sony or anything, infact i would rather a ps3 over a 360 (sony at least makes stable hardware :p ).
