A recent Harris Interactive Poll showed that approximately 93 percent of consumers still don't have a Blu-ray player. In fact more Americans own a HD-DVD capable player (11 percent) than a Blu-ray capable player (7 percent). Their report also provides evidence that the attrition of the HD-DVD v. Blu-ray war continues to hurt sales. Customers reported confusion about the high definition formats.
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.
Are we forgetting that the Ps3 is a Bluray capable player?
Read the article and you will see.
I love how people love to spin that, add PS3 + stand alone blu ray players and you get the total amount of people who have blu ray capabilities, is that not so hard to understand? Or are these people really pathetic fanboys?
That poll has already been critized by industry analysts because it completely ignores PS3 owners.
The biggest problem facing Blu Ray in terms of home video is that DVD upscaling has gotten really good at a very cheap price. You couple that with the still high costs of Blu Ray players and movies compared to DVD and in this economy Blu Ray will suffer.
There just isn't a big enough leap from upscaled DVD to Blu Ray for the average consumer to justify the higher cost. Everyone here on N4G certainly see's the differences so I am sure most will be quick to disagree. But we are talking the average consumer here. People who don't spend thousands and thousands on their entertainment setup. That is MOST of the U.S.... Most consumers are just not that hardcore about their movie watching.
Until the prices of Blu Ray come down for movies and are on par with DVD.... well Blu Ray will trail.
