The home theater war to end all wars -- the battle between the Blu-ray and HD-DVD next generation platforms -- has amounted to little more than a back alley skirmish so far.
You don't own a Blu-ray or HD-DVD player? Join the club. It's been a struggle for either format to gain much of an audience early in the adoption cycle. Between product delays, high sticker prices, and bickering studios, neither format is any closer to displacing the conventional DVD as the physical media of choice.
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.
Uh just so you know. Casino Royal BLU_RAY was in the top ten sales among DVD's...so HD viewing is on the way up. Twas number8...first time an HD format has been in the top ten.
That was reported last week and I believe it was for the whole of the US.
ps. I still have videos. Ps2 is still my only dvd player lol.
pps. Digital distribution is a long way off. I will continue to buy cd's. The net isnt as strong over here as in the US. I really do prefer CD's and DVD's to any downloaded content and will continue to do so.
both useless, I still don't know anyone who has a player, except for 1 guy with a ps3, who hasn't bought a movie yet. amazingly, he wanted it for games.
I think DVD will be the last disc format we see before digital distribution, that'll teach sony and toshiba a lesson.
high definition video is going to skip both of these mediums as far as the mainstream is concerned. the future is downloading all your hd movies, neither of these will "win" the war here.
Its like I've always said. DVD isn't going anywhere for a while. HD movie sales will go up. Players get cheaper, more PS3's sell and more titles will become available. But even people who will be buying BR or HDDVD will still be buying DVD's as well. DVD's are so cheap now I buy about 5 a week. It will be a long time before the new formats make any serious dent in that total percentage sold.
I have no interest in downloading movies. Who wants to wait to download a 20G file when you want to watch it now. It took hours to download one ep of Southpark. Just how big are these hardrives going to have to be to store these movies? I'd rather have 20 BluRay disks that fill up a 400G HD.
