Sorry Steve, guess I expected more from the heads of a tech site instead of irrelevant fanboy digs. I should have known better. My response should have been to just ignore your editorial comments and congratulated Sony on a business move that will help them financially. Or maybe I should...

About as funny as when they codeveloped the chip with Sony and IBM in the first place. :rolleyes:

You mean how BD has outsold HD DVD in software for 39 consecutive weeks? (It will be 40 weeks by tomorrow morning.) How the total number of discs sold on BD vs HD DVD is nearly 2:1? No need for math there, just simple counting will suffice. Sadly, most HD DVD enthusiasts don't know how to do...

You mean like the 4 different players on Amazon right now for under $500 including the Sony S300 for $400? The A2 is also limited to 1080i output. It can't even output the full 1080p signal on the HD DVD disc. Besides, Toshiba loves to ignore the PS3...unless they want to throw in attachrate...

Lawyers probably half, artists zero. The RIAA isn't about artists.

I know, how do they plan to compete with Sony, Disney, Fox, MGM, and Lionsgate as exclusive studios. They are so done for. :rolleyes:

So have your parents come to the store with you. Wow, so hard. Not to mention that the average gaming age is what 28-33 now?

How many thousands of times does this need to happen before people realize that no company announces price drops of products before it happens. It is bad business. I have no doubt that the 60gig is going to get phased out and eventually replaced by the cheaper to produce 80gig with no EE. When...

Seeing all of the side-by-side comparisons of the 05 CG trailer and this one, it is clear that they are going to surpass that CG creation by quite a bit. They already have in many aspects and this is only a pre-pre-alpha build. Get that texture streaming and better particle effects working and...

Been with them for over 6 years after dropping Verizon (service at least at that time sucked. 1-2bars no matter where I was in the city). Service couldn't be better for my area, otherwise I would have dropped them. Infact they just called up a couple weeks ago and gave me more minutes for...

Actually both are being investigated. HD DVD just happens to be crying home to mommy because it is losing so the focus is being shifted over to Blu-ray. The Studios are just going to come back and say "look, we looked at both formats, and picked the one we felt was better."

The real answer is they have no choice, so of course it will have to be enough.

I think it really depends on where you are. I have never had a speed problem with downloads on the PSN. When the Ninja Gaiden demo was released everyone and their cousin was downloading it. You would hear reports of people getting 1% over 10 minutes. I started it up, got the 800+MB download...

It was with Nero 7, DVD-ROM (ISO) compilation, not UDF. Nero is also installed on Vista. I'll just try reinstalling everything, drive and software.

Yeah, same thing. I'll try removing it tonight and see if that does the trick.

Updated the firmware, still no go. Now it just spins the DVD-R's forever. Any other disc works though including burnt CD's. It is a samsung duallayer burner. Possible that the drive died, or is it just not playing nice with Vista?

No I haven't, but something I forgot to mention, it did work once. I first installed Vista on a spare drive to make sure the software I use the most worked such as my editing program. I copied a project over from a DVD-R with that setup. Reinstalled Vista on my main drive and now it doesn't...

I finally made the plunge and got Vista x64. So far everything seems to be working alright, except for any data DVD-R. Whenever I stick one in that has a bunch of data, Vista sees it is a new blank disc. A friend said he heard something similar before but doing a quick google search I...

Wait....people go to Apple stores?

Yup. It is quite good, still has some bugs, but graphically it is one of the best games I've seen.

This suit will go nowhere. Just desperate acts by Target Tech.

LOL, Dreamworks wishes they could be shown be in the same room as Pixar. Shrek 3 is the same drab rendered characters and stiff animation as the first 2 wrapped around a pisspoor story. At least Pixar ups the ante graphically for every film and even that is only a passenger to the real driver...

Despite what others have said in this thread, that isn't entirely true. In January Sony updated the SDK with the ability to use the 'hardware' scaler. It only allowed horizontal scaling and the devs would have to implement it. So the game could be rendered at 960x1080 (a few more pixels than...

No one?

I'm trying to accomplish the same thing as is on this page http://www.revostock.com/ Halfway down there is a row of images under "Editor's Choice" and 'footage'. If you roll your mouse over the images, a tooltip pops up that plays video of that image. I checked the source and it looks like...

If only I could take credit. I actually stumbled across it during a google search. I used to be the architect of vague webgames such as this so was always thinking of weird ways of masking the text. This is the first time I've seen dvorak typing utilized. The team behind Project Offset is...

Is "AlmostThereThanksForHelping!" typed out dvorak style on a non-dvorak keyboard.

It broke the record for most ticket sales in an opening weekend as well, so ticket prices has nothing to do with it except for making the total dollar gap that much larger. Didn't care for the movie though and my audience literally turned on it about halfway through.

No it doesn't. It starts at the last place you left off. Skip back to the beginning and exit and the movie will start at the beginning. Play through to the end, and exit and the movie will start from the beginning as well. Play halfway through, exit and the movie will start back at that...

I agree. It is nice that Nintendo finally found something that can compete with the PS2 and Xbox. Should be interesting in 2012 when they come out with something to compete with the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Enjoyed it a lot more than Oblivian.

Now everyone's site is broken. Guess this thing is popular. :)

I've been with Gamefly for 3 months now. So far no complaints. Shipping is a tad on the slow side. It can take 3 to 6 days. It does help that they have FastReturn in some areas where they will ship out right when you drop the old game off at the Post Office, instead of having to wait until...

Still counting down correctly on my end. 44 minutes left.

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Maybe they got a better deal on 80gig driver vs the 60gig drives they are currently using? As for the negative spin, not odd at all Steve. It is just par for the course. Sony could have a killer promotion giving away high end 46" HDTV's and some of the...

Not true, you could be a billionaire and still receive the $40 vouchers. There is no income limit.

I have tried it before. Not this model, but ones with pretty much the exact same specs. The biggest factor is the resolution, it always has been with these kinds of displays. It is like looking at a large, low res tv, very close up where you can see the lines in the pixel structure. In other...

Like looking at a 52", non HD, big screen built in the mid 90's. Resolution has been the biggest problem of any of these 'wearable screens' such as the glastron and it looks like Headplay hasn't done much to combat that. Give me 1280x720 native and I'll take a peek.

Microsoft made a big mistake with their shun of Blu-ray. They are pretty much getting nothing back from HD DVD, other than extending this format war to give them time to try and attempt downloadable HD (which will never take off). Their biggest perk is small royalties from VC1, which Blu-ray...

PS3 isn't doing too bad considering it doesn't have any games out for it. I'm surprised the Wii isn't actually higher than that. Guess Nintendo is having a hard time making them. As for how this compares to the 360 launch (which had no competition and cheaper) (North America Only)...
