14 DAY TRIAL // The PS3 is good and bad at the same time, all the time. Some boast and say that it's waaay too expensive, some say that it's just fine the way it is, but never will you hear that Sony's next-gen machine is "Perfect." Or will you? GamePro posts this article sticking together bits and pieces of the "Jaffe would have taken out Blu-ray" story which seems to gave taken greater proportions than expected. Here's what they say: "Yesterday, internet news sites like Digg.com and GameDaily.biz were on fire with a controversial story in which David Jaffe appeared to recommend dropping Blu-ray from the PS3. The sites included inflammatory headlines such as "Jaffe: I Would Not Have Included Blu-ray in PS3."
"...recommend dropping Blu-ray from the PS3?" In the same article, the site quotes Sony officials saying: "David Jaffe is an industry pioneer who has earned the right to speak his mind on anything he wants when it comes to videogames." This part I get: a good game developer bringing great titles to the PS2 and later maybe to the PS3 will have indeed earned his right to make comments in regards to the machine his games run on. But, how on Earth is anyone going to take the Blu-ray out of the PS3? It's not like there's a small hardware piece inside that big PS3 that you can just unscrew and take out whenever you like.
Anyway, the story doesn't end here as GameTrailers cut the exact piece of the video interview where Jaffe said that if there was something he'd change with the PS3, it would be the Blu-ray (to make it cheaper) The site actually tried to create controversy, by only using a snippet of the interview. God of War creator continued his comments regarding Sony's console by saying "he thinks the PS3 is perfect the way it is," GamePro's sources stated, "but in his personal opinion he would have removed Blu-ray to make it cheaper.," going on saying that "Sony is smarter than him when it comes to this stuff."
Who's saying what doesn't even matter anymore, because if we care to look at the PS3's sales figures, Jaffe is kind of right. One thing is clear though, nobody, and I mean nobody, not even Superman can take the Blu-ray player out of the PS3. So chill everyone, nothing happened, just a bunch of words were said.
