article published on 7 April, 2008
President of Sony Corporation and CEO of Sony's Global Electronics Business, Ryoji Chubachi, has spoken of the corporation's plan to increase the market share of its Blu-ray Disc products dramatically. In the present, the DVD format accounts for about 80 percent of global demand for movie discs, according to Chubachi.

iv got a sony trinton monitor that im typing this message through,
hell i even have a sony dvd/vcr combo, even had an old sony vio desktop.
but im 1000.00% anti-sony and yes i have an attitude now
you know what i dont want your help you can keep it. im thinking about buying the gun medal PS3 anyway
I can not follow you at all. One minute you say you don't care about anything to do with Blu-ray, the next minute you're looking for help on a Blu-ray player which is more than likely fictional.
In that thread that error5 linked to you state that you are only interested in gaming. Now you also back that up futher by saying you've owned every Playstation console, including a PS3 and you are looking at getting the Limited Edition Gun Metal PS3. Are you not aware that PS3 games are pressed on Blu-ray discs? So doesn't that mean that Blu-ray as an optical disc format (not as a movie format) is needed in order for you to enjoy the games on the PS3? Wouldn't it be in your best interest for Blu-ray as a format to develop? This means increased revenue for the BDA. This will result in more money spent on R & D, which will effectively lower manufacturing costs. This will funnel down to us as the consumer in these ways... 1) Less expensive games & movies. 2) More titles to choose from. 3) Lower hardware prices. 4) Enhancements in the Blu-ray technology across the entire hardware/software range.
Believe me, you wont be getting any help from me from now on. There are many others here at AfterDawn that value my help immensely (see my sig for links). I am not going to waste my time offering help to someone that replies with Childish banter.

Ryu77;
Through no fault of your own, and despite your best efforts, and those of others, this thread has degenerated into a foolish soap-opera-like mess, the end of which seems nowhere in sight.
At your discretion, I will close this thread - it's going nowhere. Don't know if that will help -- similar threads always seem to crop up like weeds elsewhere, but at least it would be a start.
I'll give you the final say on this. (Your choice).

Yes, these threads often do turn into a soap opera like mess (great analogy).
To be completely honest as I mentioned earlier on in this thread, what I would like to see is a zero tolerance policy towards any negativity or Childish behaviour posted on any news articles. Anyone that gets out of control, no warning... Just instant suspension. Consistent offenders should get banned permanently. Maybe a 3 strike system...? 1st offence: 1 week suspension, 2nd offence: 1 month suspension, 3rd offence: Bye bye!
I know it sounds harsh but how else can these news articles function as intended without such a system in place?
Of course this isn't just for those against the PS3 & Blu-ray etc. I am referring to anything of that nature. If a PS3 Fan Boy/Girl (for lack of a better word) jumps on a XBox news thread and starts ranting away about how crappy the XBox is and how the PS3 is the greatest thing in the World, then the same goes. It's not conducive to positive conversation relating to the news article and as such has no place being there.
I was speaking to LOCOENG a little while back (just before hughjars got the can) and he gave me the impression that a zero tolerance policy was going to be put into place. I truly wish this could be followed up as I thought it would be.
Please understand that I am in no way saying we must all be like timid little Animals, never speaking our mind. Opposing views are always welcome, provided that they are delivered in a mature & respectful way.
It's not up to any of us to decide if a news article is worthy or not (as varnull suggested that all Sony articles are not worthy of news). That choice is and always will be that of AfterDawn staff. It would be a shame to see news articles closed just because people can't be mature enough to have respectful conversations amongst each other. If you don't agree with what the news article is saying... It's simple! Don't participate in any conversation regarding the topic at hand. Is it really that hard? Do we not have enough self control to stop ourselves from posting demeaning comments?
Why all the hatred (I don't even like using that word)? Why the anguish? Can't we all just be friends and get along? We all joined here because we have something in common. We all have a passion for one or all of the following; PC's, gaming, movies, music etc. etc. This site was developed so we could get the most out of what we love. Can we now please carry on and be free to do that, without being judged upon if our opinion is different to someone elses?

every now and then i open a thread with some buds a NON flaming NON flanboy console/brand argument thread, we list all the facts, state cases where hardware/consoles have failed, its actually quite nice to have a peaceful discussion about which brand or console you want or like and why, you learn quite a bit........but then the n00bs shank us till we bleed and we end up leaving the thread because its just about non-nonsensical ranting and arguments about "yo momma"

Yes tripplite, which is exactly why I suggested the zero tolerance policy. To be honest, I almost always see you posting in a good manner. I find some of the things you say quite entertaining. You seem to have a happy nature.
The way I see it when a thread spirals out of control, there are two options. 1) Close the thread. 2) Remove the person/people responsible for the mess.
I think option 2 is surely the best way to go as that deals with the problem at its source.
On that note, let's leave it at that. Hopefully now this thread can get back to topic and remain open for related discussion.

.. You are the Rodney King of Afterdawn.com
Except for the looting and stuff..
Your help and expertise is a major factor in why I visit this site.
If someone had a "bad experience" they should move on as it is more than likely their fault.

a zero tolerance on negative opinions eh, if that's the case you may as well just turn afterdawn into a huge advertising board for all the tech companies so all the BAD points to the hardware/software can be covertly hidden from the public's eye.
constant fanboyism should not be tolerated i fully agree, but a negative opinion does not constitute "fanboy" behaviour.
fanboy definition from urban dictionary

1. A person who is completely loyal to a game or company reguardless of if they suck or not.
2. A pathetic insult often used by fanboys themselves to try and put down people who don't like whatever it is they like.
3. See fool or SEGA.
"If you don't worship SEGA and send them all your money and pay $500 for the copy of Panzer Dragon I'm selling on ebay then your obviously a Sony fanboy even though I've never heard you mention a single thing about Sony the entire five minutes I've known you." Said the SEGA Fanboy.
"Yeah but the SNES didn't have Blast Processing" Said the Sega fanboy.
"FF7 sucks" Said the SEGA Saturn fanboy.
defending a company that utilises anti-consumer behaviour without accepting the fact and trying to play it down or conceal the fact, could also be considered fanboy behaviour, could it not!
as i already stated negative opinions do not equate to the behaviour you are describing Ryu77, only on the official forums like m$ and sony is that considered simply to stop the spread of the truth and not damage potential sales. as far as i'm aware afterdawn is not generating revenue from sony, m$, nitendo, philips, toshiba, amstrad, ect, and hopefully never will be at the whim of the revenue chain being pulled by a corporation like what happened to Gamespot and Jeff Gerstmann.
And as you have clearly stated yourself "It's simple! Don't participate in any conversation regarding the topic at hand" why answer comments you do not agree with?

"Zero Tolerance" in this case is pretty hard to maintain. Outright name-calling, deliberate flames and four-letter words etc. for example, are much easier to deal with. You get suspended for those.
The nonsense we see here is far more "grey" in nature. I try to be tolerant as do all the mods, but in this case I see a few making it very difficult for the many. I'm sorry guys, it's unfortunate but often the case.
I think this thread has gone far enough. Please feel free to begin another similar one if you'd like and we'll take it from there.
