Microsoft Defense Force

Stumbled across an interesting article titled “The Best and Worst Tech Products of 2008″ by Christopher Null over at Yahoo! Tech blogs. With Rock Band 2 being 2nd in the list of the best technologies of 2008. Does it surprise you? Supported by Microsoft’s LIVE infrastructure set-up, this game has had the amazing support it needed to distribute new music and content out to their gamers to keep playing the same games with different content. We believe that Sony has their own, massively inferior network… I’m not sure, PSN or somethin’.

What’s more important about this blog post however is the list of worse technologies of 2008. No. 1? Blu-ray. Well cover me in bling and call me Krazy Ken Kuturagi. Why does this not surprise me. After the public being force-fed a new, expensive, unknown and confusing media platform – you can expect people to be a little pissed.

As Chris Null states “there’s a very loud and vocal minority that insists that Blu-ray will be a huge success. The market indicates otherwise.” Some good reading.
