If I want pr0n, I'll just download it. But that still doesn't give Sony the right to pass judgement on it.

I saw a blu-ray player in a shop the other day. Really wasn't very excited about it.
so, uh,
'poo'-ray
or
H'wee'-DVD
really don't care too much about them at the moment. Too pricey and too much uncertainty.
Yeah, and then burn it onto a Blu Ray discIf I want pr0n, I'll just download it.
Perfect! And nothing Sony could do about it.
If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

I can't believe Sony would be that stupid.
Or that their stance would be legal in many countries.
I think the reason Sony can control the content on Blu-Ray is due to the format being their own. They manufacture the discs, and I expect at the moment it is exclusively Sony production plants that are pressing the Blu-Ray discs. Therefore they have complete quality and content control over the whole format.
This is very similar to the tricks Nintendo have played over the years. When the SNES was around the only way that a game could be given the green light to go into production was to send the gold code to Nintendo for evaluation. Only if Nintendo passed the game as being acceptable for their system was it allowed to go into production, and as the cartridges were manufactured by Nintendo, they kindly adding additional charges to the cost of manufacturing the cartridges for a game. So the games producer and developer were paying Nintendo for the production of each game cartridge even before the game was on the shelves. For Nintendo this was a no lose strategy, but this was also the reason many third party developers didn't continue to develop for Nintendo consoles when the N64 came out. Compared to the PSX the N64 was too expensive to develop for, and even then you had no guarantee that your game would get a release if the final code was rejected by Nintendo.
Could the same happen to Blu-Ray with Sony following similar tactics?

Isn't that also why console games are more expensive than PC games? PS2 game = 60€, PC game = 40€. Publisher paying Sony an extra charge, thus making games more expensive.
