#DEATHSPANK LOLLIPOP PS3#
The opportunity for PS3 to ride the wave of HD enthusiasm from launch was lost forever.īut the PS3 itself had bigger problems. As HDTVs have since gotten cheaper and caught on, this problem healed somewhat, but not completely. Overall, these circumstances led people to view the PS3 as a Trojan Horse for Blu-rays and SACD, with the general public being apathetic to both formats overall at the time.

The PS2 has a built-in bypass for the copy protection on the discs, while the PS3 does not. note Ironically, this inability was due to the copy protection measures placed in by Sony for the PlayStation 2. This failed utterly and the feature was quietly dropped along with PS2 backward compatibility with the CECHG revision. It also represented a last desperate attempt by Sony to save the Super Audio CD note a failed effort by Sony and Philips to replace the Compact Disc with a higher-fidelity version it wasn't widely used or accepted among mainstream audiences and ultimately flopped on the market, though it did find a home among audiophiles that it maintains to this day and the first couple of generations were compatible.
The recession a couple years after the PS3 launched slowed down the sales of HDTVs, which meant the synergy needed for Blu-ray to take off was hurt (regular DVD didn't need anything other than people having TVs with audio/video plugs, or adapters if they didn't). Sony knocked HD-DVD out as a competitor, but primarily did so by rallying market support towards Blu-ray rather than offering any real innovation one way or the other as detailed on the main page for Blu-ray, this lack of innovation ended up being a huge limitation for the format, as there was nothing Blu-ray Video could do besides higher picture and audio quality that DVD Video hadn't already accomplished (compared to the launch of the DVD format itself, which offered a much larger amount of interactivity than VHS and LaserDisc, and offered many more practical benefits over the far more dominant former like the lack of degradation and being able to skip to wherever you wanted). They succeeded, but it took a significantly longer period of time. The third iteration in Sony's PlayStation console line for the Seventh Generation, the PlayStation 3 (stylised as " PLAYSTATION 3" until 2009) tried to do with Blu-ray what PlayStation 2 did with the original DVD format.
