Hitachi has developed a prototype four layer Blu-Ray disc capable of holding 100GB of data.
While companies such as TDK and Panasonic have previously mooted 100GB discs, they have always needed a specially developed optical head in the player to read the disc.
Hitachi, however, claims to have used a standard Blu-Ray drive optical head that's only slightly modified to allow it to read and write data across the four 25GB layers. It's believed this will only require a firmware update to make existing drives compatible.
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.
PS3 will leave the 360 standing when it comes to storage space for game. lol

HD DVD is dead and so is X360

what?????
i am so happy. existing BD drives play the discs too
Unlike the VHS/BETAMAX "war" there really wasn't a need for such space. However in the year 2007 with SD cards, MP3 players touting how many "gigs" of space it has, computers and media are melding into 1 language that everyone understands.
Bluray is already embarrassing the hell out of HD-DVD sales wise. Hardware wise, the BD group actually makes a profit from Bluray/Hardware. Where as HD-DVD supporters only make $ from bribes.
I understand what HD-DVD is trying to do, lower price player to win the format war.. However HD-DVD is an inferior consumer format. I find it remarkable that troglodytes come out of the dark caves to claim we dont need more "space!" What year is this? We need more space, file sizes keep getting bigger and bigger as it always has. Maybe these were the same people claiming we dont need CD's because we already have tapes & floppy discs.
HD DVD has a WOMD if you don't know that already.
Maybe in the future use! 25 &50 gb is fine for now.
