PS3 won EISA award because of [drum roll...] Blu-ray |
Ó
Remember last week when the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) awarded the PS3 with the "Best Home Entertainment Gadget of the Year" title? Well, you can either take this as good news or bad news, but still, it's news nonetheless. EISA has just confirmed the reason why PS3 bagged the award: it's because of Blu-ray.The EISA committee, composed of 50 editors of electronics magazine spanning 20 European countries, awarded the PS3 despite its being a games console as well.
Not to say that that's bad. If you'd recall, SCEE prez David Reeves himself was quoted to have said that they've very honored for being able to "receive [an award] for a product that is usually thought of as simply a games machine." So, with that, how's it both good and bad news at the same time? Judging from what we've been hearing online, it depends on how you look at it.
The wet blanket folks feel as if all the PS3's purpose was Blu-ray and not games (booo!). The "silver lining on the cloud" types, on the other hand, feel as honored as David Reeves for owning a games console that's (even more so now, because of the award) being recognized as a home entertainment hub.

It's not surprising. The PS3 was built to amass critical success, so I would actually be shocked if it didn't win anything. All Sony needs is some quality games to complement the quality system.
I got the PS3 specifically for a home theater hub. I already changed the HDD to a much higher capacity and attached (2) 500gb externals for all my music, movies, photos, home video and tv shows. I know Sony will be putting out AAA titles soon and for a while to come so the games are a sweet sweet bonus.
I didn't care about sony winning something, but I couldn't care less about the reason they won't this useless prize. I mean, I'm a gamer, not a fanboy, I don't care if sony nor M$ nor nintendo are having fun or not, I just want good games and low priced consoles!!!
And right now, I'm happy that the ps3 will drop next holiday (I'll buy mine at the price drop).
How many TVs sold sony? How many vista M$ sold? How many ... okay, nintendo is a bit different, let's say; How the nintendo's stocks are raising? I couldn't care less....
That must be awesome with the right screen and speakers :) I envy you
/agreed
I envy your deep pockets. Your deep, deep pockets.
I don't care if you care or not. This is a news website, and this is just an article.
I can't its all because of Blu-ray but a good portion of it was.
i bet thats a good kick in the nuts for all those hd-dvd fans out there.
too late there are quality games.
