Sony Fakes Blu-Ray Demo?

Lance Ulanoff of PC Magazine reported on Sony’s recent event showing the new VAIO AR desktop with a Blu-Ray drive, observing that Sony faked the high-def demo by using a plain old DVD+R of House of Flying Daggers. Even before the rootkit fiasco, Sony has seemed increasingly desperate, but the general consensus seems to be that Sony is looking pretty sad and pathetic.

The verdict is still out on this one, because theres debate that there were two different laptops side by side, one with Blu-Ray and the other with the DVD+R. Seriously though, if they were trying to pull this off, there’s no way a DVD+R could contain the quality that Blu-Ray is supposed to deliver. Check out the full posting at Slashdot.
