From Hometheaterforum.com: "What I saw this evening was VERY impressive! We watched scenes from Ice Age II, The Day After Tomorrow, and Ridley Scott's 3-hour director's cut of Kingdom Of Heaven, the first 50GB release from the studio.
I'll be damned if I saw any imperfections in the quality of the displayed picture in the parts we got to see. As far as I'm concerned, the image quality was just as stunning as stuff I have seen on HD-DVD. Furthermore, the Java based interactive content and menu controls that we viewed on The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen looked just as impressive as some of the new content being put on new HD-DVD Universal titles such as Fast & Furious 2: Tokyo Drift.

The studios have something else to be very optimistic about with the upcoming release of the Playstation 3 gaming console due to arrive this fall. There have been many concerns by home theater enthusiasts as to how well the PS3 will perform as a Blu-Ray player. Fox talked extensively about the Playstation 3 and the Blu-Ray titles they have been testing on their sample unit. According to the studio, the Blu-Ray titles played much better on the PS3 than standard DVDs have in regular DVD players. This sort of promised compatibility certainly raises the stakes of the PS3 being a reliable Blu-Ray delivery unit similar to the interesting developments surrounding the XBox 360 for HD DVD"
Digital intelligence and analytics firm Sensor Tower has released its State of Gaming 2026 report, revealing flat growth in mobile game revenue, double-digit growth for PC and console gaming, and another record year for PC, with more games sold on Steam than ever before.
Kotaku writes: "A Resident Evil Requiem review published by long-standing UK gaming news site Videogamer has been removed from Metacritic after readers pointed out it was written by a fake AI journalist who doesn’t actually exist. Videogamer‘s human masthead was gutted last week, sources tell Kotaku, and the site has been publishing apparent genAI slop ever since."
Genuinely well done on metacritic for taking such an immediate hard stance. Not often, if at all, you see that these days. Credit where it’s due.
This is really sad on so many levels. Not least of all the fact that all the human lost their jobs to a language model. Can we block all content coming from Videogamer site. Can we make a rule that content sumitted to N4G must be greated by a human being.
I'm gonna report every Videogamer article I see on N4G from now on so just putting it out there.
Isnt videogamer one of the N4G owner run sites?
Seems to fit their MO to cut corners and push cheap dribble.
Check my comments, over a year ago I was calling out videogamer and N4G on their AI articles pushing slop 24/7
It is amazing but I'm starting to slightly miss the moron gaming press we had in the 2010s because at least they were human.
Game and advertising companies have been told to 'get their houses in order' and be more transparent about the presence of loot boxes in mobile titles.
so the blu ray player in the ps3 is high quality aye i remeber one member of this site(the mart) who said that the ps3's blu ray player would be "crappy" and "low quality" i guess you where wrong.
anyway this is good news for the ps3 and i hope i can import one from the US.
sweet!
considering sony is going to use the ps3 to really push the bluray medium, i hardly think they would fit the ps3 with the lamest, cheapest bluray player available
If ps3 is to push blu-ray, then it needs to impress people and show off what it can really do. Thats why i believe the bluray player in the ps3 will be really good and this article reflects that
$500 is not cheap, for any type of HD player.
Blu-ray's been here for quite some time now.
