| | The PS3 Accounts for Over Two Thirds of US Blu-Ray Players | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 13th, 2009 | It’s been almost a year since Toshiba threw in the towel for ill-fated HD-DVD. While sales of the Blu-Ray format have yet to reach the levels of current home video king DVD, market penetration (*chortle*) is on an incline.Figures show that of the almost 11 million blu-ray players sold in the US, over 70% are in the form of Sony’s black wonderbox. Despite the presence of cheaper players, many pundits still see the PS3 as good value. I heard it’s because it plays games too, but I don’t like to report on unsubstantiated rumours.This leaves me wondering something : Is the PS3 responsible for Blu-Ray’s success, or is Blu-Ray carrying the PS3?Source : Psu.com |

Gavin Mannion - December 8th, 2008 | It’s been a while since I have posted any Blu-ray stories and to be honest it’s because nothing has happened. The format is rolling along and from my ivory thrown I am yet to see it pick up any real speed. ... [»] |

| Game Exec forgets which company he works for | 
Gavin Mannion - October 14th, 2008 | CVG has been chatting to a senior gaming industry executive about how the credit crunch may affect gaming over this holiday season and he had the following to say.
"As long as we can generate excitement, then we will be less affected than other industries"
Which is just marketing talk that makes no sense... however he goes on to say
"We're getting to the point where price becomes more important"
Which I fully agree with, beacuse at the moment the spotlight is firmly on our finances and we should be cutting costs where ever we ... [»] |

| Blu-Ray Competition – Results | 
Gavin Mannion - July 14th, 2008 | By Philip Dunkley Okay, so during last week, we ran quite a few comps, and one of them was centered around a few Blu-Ray titles. 5 Blu-Ray titles to be exact. So the question I asked you was the following: What do you lovely people think the combined weight of the 5 BD discs are, bearing in mind that they are in Slim Line cases? Now I can see that many of you have obviously got scales at home, and some of you have never seen a scale or picked up a BD before in your lives!!! But there were some pretty close answers, but ...

| Blu – Ray Competition | 
Gavin Mannion - July 10th, 2008 | By Philip Dunkley So the time has come for us to release the next competition (yes another one), so here goes. Ster Kinekor has once again sponsored Blu-Ray discs to us, but this time it’s a bit different. Instead of releasing a review for a specific movie, I’m just going to go ahead and give away 5 Blu-Ray Titles, as I know how much you love them, and I know that Ster Kinekor is pushing these puppies big time at the moment. Have you also noticed that the price has come down at certain shops, like R199 for a title? So that makes me, and most other PS3 or BD ... [»] |
