Yep, I'm pretty sure it's a photoshopped LCD projector.
The reflections in the thing are supposed to make it look more realistic, but if you watch it, there's no reflection of the guy+camera that took the picture.

Fake.

However, unlike the Minidisc, which was also a proprietary Sony-developed format, it will not be commercially available as empty discs, in order to avoid piracy.

Blu-ray Disc is a next-generation optical disc format jointly developed by a group of leading consumer electronics and PC companies called the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), which succeeds the Blu-ray Disc Founders (BDF). Because it uses blue lasers, which have shorter wavelengths than traditional red lasers, it can store substantially more data in the same amount of physical space as previous technologies such as DVD and CD.

The more I study that picture it looks like the SONY, Memory Stick, PS, ect... logos were put on using photoshop. If you look close it looks pixalated around the logos.

Ok, it's fake, I know but...if the thing looks as cool as that, I'd buy it just for the looks. Immediately.

I agree with you there Kyuzo. I think white is going to become the in color for electronics in a year or two. I don't think it will be black. Black is too closely related to this generation for me.

blacks always been around in every generation. usually by sega.

and im pretty confident the PS3 will be black, black usually gives them a slicker look, while white makes them look more fragile and expensive, black gives a more sporty look so to say.

Yeah, but up until this Gen, the White/Grey system won every sales battle. NES>Master System, SNES>Genesis, PSX>N64.






(yeah, I suppose you could say Coleco>2600 or whatever, but none of those pre NES systems were really that successful, as is eveident by the crash of 82' so, meh)
