I just kept forgetting about Blu-ray

Poor PSN. It’s just low-blow after low-blow with these guys. Poor online performace in all sectors, and now this. I mean it’s understandable, after what went into forcing themselves upon us without consent when Blu-ray came along.

IGN’s mega-editor, Matt Casamassina, recently did an interview with Sony’s Peter Dille, who is Sony’s Marketing and PSN bossman.

IGN: On a semi-related note, you’ve got a few full PS3 games for download, but not many. Any plans to offer the entire catalog for download going forward?

Peter Dille: No, I don’t think so — at least, not any time soon. Part of the reason for that is broadband. We have an advantage with PlayStation 3 from an optical media perspective because a Blu-ray disc contains 50 gigs. Maybe this point will come at some time, but today to download 50 gigs of data before you play a game, you could probably go buy a car, bring it home, put your family into it, drive to the store by and bring the game home by the time you [could download it]. I think we’re on the forefront of digital distribution.

No, you’re not. You’re paid to say that, Peter. Your pissing away Sony’s finances on the PSN. On the flipside however, the PSN bossman has shown some intelligence by putting their heavily invested Blu-ray technology into the spotlight abit more, rather than piss that away too. Well done. You can read the full interview over at IGN.
