BBC: The HD format battle rumbles on

BBC Click - Chris Long, Friday, 30 November 2007:

"The advent of High Definition TV has spurred a minor boom in the sales of screens on which to watch such gorgeous images. But buying a HD TV involves making a difficult choice about which of the two competing HD formats you back."

This report overviews the three major differences between the two competing formats: supporting consoles (PS3 and Xbox 360), player prices, and the special features interfaces (BD-J vs. HDi).

HD DVD, just die already, jeez. you know u r not gona out last millions of PS3s trojan horse drive anyways. Why make consumers confused and buy your useless standalone machine that will die in a few years.

IGNFTW6789d ago

AND HAVE NO PLANS OF DOING SO,I'LL BE PERFECTLY FINE WITH INBUILT HD MOVIE PLAYBACK FROM MY PS3 NEXT WEEK

Same here. Even if HD-DVD manages to survive the coming battles, it will probably never assume the power it once had. Unless something drastic happens again, like them offering to offer a really large cash payment for one of the Blu Ray or neutral studios to cover the losses of switching to HD-DVD, this format war is just about over.

On a side note, IGN will probably be the main game review site now that GS probably lost its last few ounces of credibility.

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.

solideagle66d ago

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

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

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.

Soy73d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12573d ago (Edited 73d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
