There have been alot of comments on how Blu-Ray is not that huge a quality leap over upscaled DVD's. I think that if you have a nice 50 inch or bigger set, the difference is quite large. Having said that, upscaled DVD's look pretty great too. What I don't hear as often is about High Definition Audio. Dolby True HD, and DTS-HD Master Audio. Right now, only Blu-Ray supports it. You can't get it from streaming HD movies, or satellite, and if you have a nice audio setup, it is simply FANTASTIC! I was expecting to notice a slight audio improvement over Dolby Digital, but I was not prepared for the amazing sound quality! Everything had such a crisp sound and was full of life! I switched back on forth between Dolby Digital and Dolby True HD on Spiderman 3, and the Dolby Digital just seemed lifeless. And up to recently, Dolby Digital was the top of the audio chain. It's time for Dolby Digital to move over and welcome the newest HD Audio formats their time in the sun. If you are considering buying a Blu-Ray player or PS3, do yourself a favor, and remember it is not just a resolution upgrade, the audio upgrade is simply amazing! I just can't wait to watch The Lord of The Rings in 1080p and with Dolby True HD! What a treat it will be.$0
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
It needs the hard sell in the U.S. as they are not fond of technology that they haven't created, it is by far one of the most enjoyable formats ever created, if it fails it will be down to ignorance and here say not because its bad.
And I use truehd.....My receiver supports it so why not use it ???? I don't understand the previous commenter..Americans love all sorts of things not invented in the U.S.
cellphones might be a good example
