Sony's coming on thick and fast with the announcements at IFA. After dropping an iTunes friendly set of Walkmans, they've just announced two sharp new BluRay players.
The S300 clocks in at a PS3 beating £399, with the S500 fetching a heftier £599. Both have Full HD shoehorned under the bonnet, Dolby True HD and 1080p upscasling.
Best of all, it'll handle movies at a cinema style 24 frames per second. Slap it into a new Bravia X series, which also plays nice with the same frame rate and you've got the flicks in your front room
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.
Too expensive. Blu ray really needs a budget player.
If sony wins the format war it means theywill win the VG since they wont allow the 360 to carry blu-ray right...
IMO we rarely see electronics from them that look ugly.
But the look of the player does not look high tech.
wait until the combo players are less than a thousand dollars
So approx. a grand or above a grand for these new BD players.
The new A35 costs $499 and thats for the top Toshiba HD DVD model coming in Oct.
A3 $299, A30 $399.
Sony needs a cheaper BD player besides the PS3.
