    Sony Exec Speaks On HD

    Thanks to Xbox 360 fan boy for the info! I believe the info is from the official playstation magazine but I haven't seen it with my own eyes

    Phil Harrison President of Sony has said:

    "The HD era really only starts when we are on the market." His reasoning is as follows:

    "PlayStation 3 is the only format that has 1080-progressive, which is the true definition of HD. "

    Well, according to Wikipedia 720p and 1080i are both very much in the HD camp.

    "High definition as far as the consumer is concerned means high definition movies, which means Blu-ray disc."

    There's plenty of people who buy videogame consoles to, well, play videogames on them in which case HD gaming is available now.

    He continues to bend the definition of HD to his singular will insisting,

    "The true definition of HD is the three elements of the HD value chain - the display, the content and the hardware to play back that content, and PlayStation and Sony is the only organisation that has all three bits of the value chain together."

    What a knucklehead. This is the reason Sony's brand equity has diminished outside of Japan.

    How many people own 1080p screens, how good does it look on a 480 TV screen.

    I mean at least now i've seen a 1080p screen that phillips do that only costs £2800...

    But still if you are Sony executive thats what you get paid to say?...

    Can't blame him for bigging up his own companies system.
