"After the dust settled between the two relatively similar formats, HD-DVD and Blu-ray, it seemed like Blu-ray was the official winner. This seems contrary to conventional logic because adult film companies, by far the largest sellers of home video discs, almost roundly accepted HD-DVD as the new standard. So the only way Blu-ray could possibly have won without the support of porn companies is by bringing their product to a new market-but was that market really looking for another physical video format?"
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.
BR making inroads... as result many BR haters downplay it. One of 100 similar "articles" and blogs trying to tell the consumer that he bought his HD TV to watch SD content.
wow, these HD-DVD fanboys keep on trying even though their format is dead.
It's not like the DVD porn industry is even that big anymore anyways, the internet has stolen so much of it's profits. It's mostly porn paysites that make the money now. While other stuff is just downloaded for free. Or most people stick to the free porn clip type porn sites, as there is usually more interesting porn to watch there than the plastic looking generic porn that's sold mostly these days.
Stop with shoving digital download service down our throat which is what this article is getting at.
You run with digital download service and I can guarantee thats when movies will become a disposable item. A consumer isn't going to see the "worth" of all these movies sitting on their hard drive, that they have paid top dollar for and cannot sell, trade or buy second hand. You will just see more so of a shift to people downloading movies through peer to peer or other mechanisms instead of paying a provider for it.
Then the argument will be that paid for movie services are of better quality than a divx/xvid download, which is the same argument now between dvd and bluray so it goes both ways. Also encoding techniques are getting better and we could shift away from divx/xvid encoded movies on the peer to peer networks.
Please just give it up, bluray is here to stay and has that many more cons to it as a format than a digital distribution service that only the blind analysts and companies with vested interests ie Micro$oft keep pushing for digital distribution model which will be there but will always be a niche market due to so many limiting restrictions of it's use.
