The year that passed was not a tremendously good one for Sony but the next year is going to narrate a completely different story for the youngest Current generation Console  ; 2009 is going to be a prosperous year for  PlayStation 3 . 

PS3 , the best Blu-Ray player out there

Lets take a look at Top 5 Blu –Ray player  shall we ?

Price: $299

 This is the cheapest Blu-Ray player which satisfy the need of casual market but do not expect a qualified product  . Playback of standard DVDs is disappointing and the Samsung can't even produce 5.1-channel surround .

Price: $300

Price: $600

You want to pay huge amount of money for nothing ? go buy this product , The quality of DVD playback is disappointing for the price. Plus, there's no support for 7.1-channel HD audio .

Price: $799

This is the best and most qualified  Blu-ray out there but looking at the price is enough reason for many people to not look forward to it .

Price : $400

By comparing PS3 with other top Blu-Ray players we can easily consider PS3 as the best Blu-Ray player out there due to extremely high quality , cheaper price , upgradeable  to Profile 2.0 via high-speed Internet  , an excellent picture in 1080p output and top sound quality 7.1 Dolby TrueHD audio  , impressively fast in terms of loading movies and so on .

2009 and its amazing set of Blu-Ray Movies

 Blu-Ray format officially pushed HD-DVD format over long time ago and now Blu-Ray movies are prevalent among people as HD movies .

The year 2009 is going to be an spectacular year for movie lovers , Based on ‘s latest announcement  media industry are planning to release numerous great titles  on Blu-Ray Discs in 2009. You can reasonably expect to see most of the Star Trek feature films on the format, as well as , Deep Impact, The Ten Commandments, Sunset Boulevard, Apocalypse Now, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Saturday Night Fever, Flashdance and The Elephant Man., there’s also an outside chance that you might  see Titanic on Blu-Ray before the end of 2009.

Price Cut

Sony Computer Entertainment Staff Annual Briefing held on November  (21/11/2008) in as a private meeting . fortunately (or unfortunately ) some of the news have been leaked and as a matter of fact they all worth your attention  .

Perhaps the most important news was about PlayStation 3’s price cut . SCEE President David Reeves took to the stage to discuss the current economic climate and how it shouldn’t affect PlayStation business, though was quick to mention that SCEE will be getting more competitive in price from March 2009 onwards . so we all should expect a Price cut [the amount is still unknown ] on March 2009 ( yes , also Resident Evil 5’s release date ! )  .

PS3 is more popular among PAL territories than 360

David Reeves reported that  PS3 is performing better in PAL territories and there is a huge install base dedicated to Sony , he also added that this install base gap will significantly increase in 2009 .

2009 Exclusive Titles

Sony has managed to prepare some of its top notch exclusive tiles for 2009 .  3 exclusive trailers were shown during  Sony Computer Entertainment Staff Annual Briefing .

First trailer was about Uncharted 2 , the trailer was pretty thrilling and showed Drake being shot at the end , the graphics were relatively like the first game and there was not so much difference between two but the game certainly looks promising nevertheless  .

The second trailer was about Killzone 2 (oh man ! I can not wait )  showed the character from the original trailer and a Helghan leader , the trailer was as breathtaking as someone might think and the graphics looked even better .

The third and last trailer was about the long awaited  title God Of War 3 .  the game easily looked like the best looking game on PS3 so far  [ some even mistook it with CGI ]

The trailer showed Kratos wielding his swords and fighting off hoards of skeletons and Cyclops’s, before catching a ride on an eagle, and killing it when he got dropped off. The final scene showed Kratos looking up to a long dark, deep cavern, presumed to be .

But these are not all the exclusive titles , you should also expect games such as                Gran Turismo 5 , Ratchet & Clank 2009 , Infamous .

So there you have it , an amazing year for the PS3 owners is about to begin so prepare yourself for a wonderful ride .
