Blu-ray and PS3

I am personally going to buy a PS3 for the sole purpose of playing Blu-ray discs. If you want to have a Blu-ray player one should consider this option. The first players are going to be around $1,500 while the PS3 is going to be around $350. Sounds like a good deal to me. By the way, I’m an XBOX person. I don’t like PS games, but I do admire Sony as an electronics maker and I believe Blu-ray will succeed as the HD video format. Here is a little something I found on Blu-ray.

Media bias on Iraq

LTC Erik Kurilla of 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment (better known as “Deuce Four”) comments about how news from Iraq is presented here in the states.

From Michael Yon http://www.michaelyon.blogspot.com/

“As the Deuce Four heads home this week, they leave behind a Mosul that, while not yet in the clear, is much closer to security and prosperity than anyone would have considered possible eight months ago. In between the daily secret reports Kurilla has brought to his hospital room so he can track his battalion, the Commander watches television news, increasingly frustrated by what he sees as a clear, and inaccurate, negative bias. ‘When you get the news back here in the states, it’s all doom and body counts. I only wish the American public could see the incredible progress that is being made every day in Iraq, particularly in places like Mosul.’ “
