  1. blu-ray

    Those bastards.

     

    We need a blu ray vs hd-dvd battle..except:

     

    A) I bet Im the only Blu-Ray supporter

    B) I bet very few people actually give a shit

     

    so maybe we dont..it was a fun idea for 25 seconds though.

     

    I care, mostly because I want the goddamn format standardized or a relatively low cost dual format player.

  3. No, I don't see it being necessary for games.

     

    Games don't even currently use close to that amount of space. The only person claiming space will be an issue is Phil Harrison, and either he's an idiot or thinks we're all idiots.

     

    MS has an ex-Sega rep as their top xbox guy. They're not likely to forget the lessons from the Sega CD (granted, HDDVD is not CD+G, but still...).

    Which is why Sony is to full of themselves with the BR. They won't be using that much space on a disc, at all.

  5. This might have been posted, but:

     

    360 HD-DVD add-on will cost $200.

     

    The external HD-DVD drive add-on for Microsoft's Xbox 360 games console will sell for $200, according to media reports.

     

    Taiwanese tech paper DigiTimes reported that the external USB drive will be available to buy before Christmas this year.

     

    According to the paper, Taiwanese games developers and gaming service providers consider an external drive a better approach than Sony's plans to integrate a Blu-ray drive into the forthcoming PlayStation 3.

     

    An external model offers greater flexibility, and the inclusion of an internal drive in the PlayStation 3 could reduce its competitiveness in the market despite Blu-ray's greater disc capacity.

     

    Confirming the Xbox 360 HD-DVD USB drive at the E3 gaming conference in May, Albert Penello, director of global marketing for the Xbox 360, said that the add-on "carries with it an extension of the HD era that Xbox 360 offers, and provides the most visually stunning movie watching experience available".

     

    "This new accessory will connect to the Xbox 360 console with a USB cable, enabling it to harness the power of the Xbox 360 for the HD video outputs and digital surround sound," he said.

     

    "As an accessory, it becomes another shining example of the flexibility designed into the Xbox 360 console in order to grow and add new features."

    Don't know if it is legit or not but it sounds it to me.


  6. HD was a novelty once but not anymore. Stop acting like it's meaningful.

    HD WAS a novelty? What are you talking about? It still is! Once every household in America gets an HDTV, then it won't be. Until then, it is still a novelty. When a station mentions that a show is in HD, it's a big deal.

     

    I think everyone here would love to have an HDTV. I know just because a show is in HD, doesn't make it better. However, it does make a show better to watch.
