Sony Plans to Pack a Movie and a Video Game Together onto Same Blu-Ray Medium
pSony Corp.rsquo;s PlayStation 3 game console is clearly the worst-selling new-generation system on the market, but the Blu-ray disc format for movies is starting to get more popular. In order to boost sales of video games and movies at the same time, Sony is working on to record a movie and a game onto a single Blu-ray disc (BD) for Sony PlayStation 3./ppldquo;We are actively pushing, and the way that we see the future is that the movie and the game are placed on the same disc. There are a lot of developers who say, we have this game based on a movie, wouldnrsquo;t it be great to marry these concepts? We will definitely see this stuff this year,rdquo; said John Koller, director of hardware marketing for the PlayStation, in an interview with Video Business web-site./ppIt would definitely be a pleasure for the consumer to acquire a movie and get a video game with it or otherwise provided that the price of such a set is considerably lower compared to the cost of a standalone movie and a standalone game. However, there are a number of obstacles for such ldquo;hybridrdquo; Blu-ray discs:/pul type=discliRelease schedules for movies on packaged media and video games based on films are completely different. For example, Quantum of Solace video game has been available since December rsquo;08, whereas Quantum of Solace movie on Blu-ray is scheduled for release in March rsquo;09./liliThere is no need for any special initiatives to bundle two discs ndash; one with the movie itself and another with the video game ndash; into a single Blu-ray package even now. Obviously, movie studios and game publishers are unlikely to admire this concept as it destroys opportunities to sell two products instead of one./liliSony Pictures Home Entertainment has always promoted the idea that movies encoded using MPEG4 AVC (H.264) codec and recorded on a dual-layer 50GB Blu-ray media are the best in terms of quality. But with a video game recorded onto a BD with the movie, SPHE will have to lower bitrate of the film itself so that to fit everything on a 50GB media (it is unlikely that SPHE will create a special transfer aimed at ldquo;hybridrdquo; discs with lower bitrate and continue to produce pristine quality movies for customers interested only in high-def movies and not games; hence, all the movies from the SPHE are likely to be encoded at lower bitrate)./liliThe discs will be fully compatible only with the PlayStation 3 video game console, whereas target market of Blu-ray movies is much broader./li/ulpDespite of difficulties, there are clear business advantages that Blu-ray discs featuring a movie and a game have:/pul type=discliUsers who acquire such discs just to watch movies will be interested in trying the game too and will consider acquisition of a PlayStation 3 game console./liliSince neither Microsoft Xbox 360 nor Nintendo Wii can offer perfect-quality high-def movie as well as a game on a single media (Microsoft can still provide some sort of vouchers to view a movie via the Internet, but the quality will be substantially lower than that of a Blu-ray version), the PS3 will have a tangible advantage over the competing solutions./liliIt is clear that in several years time Blu-ray disc players will surpass sales of the PlayStation 3 and advertising the console using BD movies will definitely be a positive thing to do./liliIt is definite that since content creators merge, there will be more and more movie-based video games and advanced ways of selling them will be needed./li/ulpCurrently there is no information which movie studios are interested in creation of a single game/movie Blu-ray discs, but Sony Pictures Home Entertainment does confirm that it is onboard./ppldquo;The PS3 provides a unique ability to combine the best high-definition movies and gaming experience with Blu-ray. Together with Sony Computer Entertainment, we are reviewing potential titles from both a movie and gaming perspective that would create a compelling hybrid for the consumer. Itrsquo;s a natural fit for this rapidly growing PS3 install base,rdquo; said Lexine Wong, Sonyrsquo;s senior executive vice president of worldwide marketing./p br

If you have poor or bad credit history, it’s still possible for you to get an instant approval for your car loan. Even if you’ve filed for bankruptcy, it’s still possible to avail your auto loan today! The process is easy and available in all fifty states. All that’s required to do, is to fill out a form, and get an instant approval from the creditor. The moneylenders compete for business, and providing bad credit loans options works out in their favor in getting additional business. One can get a pre-approval even when the car to be bough is not chosen. This turns out to be easy for the borrower in selecting the car, since the budget gets fixed, and the borrower gets to know what kinds of options he or she has. One does not have to select a particular vehicle, and later realize the price does not fit the credit facilities offered by the creditor.
While filling out your application for bad credit auto loans, it’s important to have the required information such as your credit reports, your contact details, and your working address, on hand. This ensures you get instant response, and in some cases, it’s possible to get an approval within a matter of a few minutes, if one applies for car loans online. The internet is the best place to search for instant car loans, since all authorized lending institutions have their loans advertised on their websites, which provide the relevant interest rates, and the terms and conditions associated with the loan.
It’s recommended to apply with as many lenders as possible and get free quotes. This helps in comparing the loan structure supported by the lenders, and pick up the loan deal that’s most beneficial to you. Once your lender is decided, you could apply in the morning, and drive your dream vehicle in the evening. Searching out for guaranteed auto loan providers can make the entire process even simpler.
