"If you want a Blu-ray player, get a PlayStation 3! It is the fastest, most reliable Blu-ray player available, can be updated to Profile 2.0, and is priced the same as an entry-level Profile 1.0 player. The PS3 has been well supported by Sony and is rock-solid reliable, unlike the competing Profile 1.0 players at the same price. Why would you pay the same $399 for much less?"
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 most people have known that the Playstation 3 has been the best performance Blu Ray player since launch. Now that the price is down, and will continue to go down, sales will increase steadily. It's also the easiest to manage in terms of Firmware updates.
The only problem is that the average consumer sees the Playstation 3 as a "gaming console" and nothing more.
because i would rather have Blu-ray player than a george forman grill
bloodmask adverting a sony product? he must be tired of sucking bill gates' balls...
The PS3 still isn't up to par though. I personally have to wait for a profile 2.0 player that can bitstream TrueHD/DTSHD via HDMI. I want all the glory of Blu-ray, not just part of it. Panasonic BD50 will be the player to go with!
it does have some weaknesses with sound though...but that is just what I read, I still get totally lost on the PS3's sound abilities...
so it doesn't have DTS HD support of any kind right?...or at least...not yet...but whatever it does get will just be streaming support for it, so it won't encode, or decode, or w/e a DTS HD signal internally, because it doesn't have the hardware to do it...
and that is the same with Dolby TrueHD right?...TrueHD is not an option on the sound settings in the XMB...in fact...very little is available...just DTS, DD, and AAC, plus those bizarre 48hz 2 channel options...but the PS3 is supposed to natively support TrueHD (it even has the little logo on the hardware)...
so my question is...when blu ray movies and games finally start having true uncompressed 7.1 channel TrueHD and DTS HD sound...what happens?...you just need a reciever that can decode that stuff?...and the PS3 will send out a correct signal accordingly?...my reciever has TrueHD support via HDMI...and I have a 7.1 channel setup...but I have no clue how any of that stuff applies, mostly because no BD game or movie I have supports it yet...
