"NetFlix CEO Reed Hastings says it appears that Blu-ray has the advantage in the high-def disc format war against HD DVD.
In an investors call yesterday following release of NetFlix's fourth quarter report, Hastings added that consumer adoption of Blu-ray will "accelerate" if the format can maintain that advantage.
"The milestones to watch for are Blu-ray player prices falling below $200, and Universal and Paramount also announcing their support for Blu-ray," he said. "If these two milestones are reached, the consumer adoption of Blu-ray will take off. This would be a positive for the studios and a positive for Netflix, as it would fuel another decade of robust disc based entertainment. " "
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
I think that Sony being both an electronics company and movie company has helped move this format war along at a quicker pace.
Congratulations Netflix. What was your first clue? Was it when you found out Blu-ray was in development for 8 years longer than the hastily scrapped together HD-DVD. Was it when Sony committed to Blu-ray by installing it in all their Playstations while Microsoft twiddled its thumbs? Maybe it was when the Hollywood studios abandoned HD-DVD? Possibly you read the sales figures that showed its been winning the entire time?
Kudos to you for waiting until stores stopped stocking HD-DVD players to decide that Blu-ray "will accelerate if the format can maintain...advantage." You're really way ahead of the pack, do you have a crystal ball or some kind of psychic in accounts payable or something? And you say Blu-ray only has to pass milestones now? That's fantastic! I hope they do that.
This is a remarkable day
To praise the disc which is Blu-Ray
Sony will shed the light to see
No one cares about HD-DVD
The only thing that matters to me
Is to see the downfall of 360
It now has a bigger advantage since WB joined the blu bandwagon.
well we are going to see $200 Blu-ray Disc players soon, wont we.
