...but would much rather have the Zune. The extra features (i.e. wireless, FM radio and the bigger and better screen) are what I want but its not yet available in New Zealand!

IPod video was the biggest waste of $750 (NZD). I only got one after the PSP ended up being such a disapointing media player.

I'm more excited about this one than I am for Halo 3, although I'll definitely get both.

As for this site, they need to update it so when you create a profile you need to specify which camp(s) you belong to. Then make it so you can only place comments in those camps. If you register in other camps to pass fanboy comments then other users can use the agree/disagree to stop you from placing any comments in a particular camp. That is, if you get 15(?) or more people disagreeing...

Had its day and that was over a decade ago on the PSOne. If RR had licensed cars and wasn't just about powersliding then maybe I'd buy into again.

If I want an RR experience I'd rather drop a dollar into an arcade racer whilst I wait for the movie to start.

...over PGR3. Although PGR3 still looks good these screenshots of PGR4 look fantastic - makes Forza 2 look last gen from a visual point of view.

I have enjoyed the PGR franchise since it was released on the original Xbox and that does not look set to change. A final note, PR4 looks like a true step in PGRs evolution and not just an HD version of PGR2.

...is update the controller so you can remove the battery pack and slip in a charged one. Whole reason for having wireless controllers is so you don't have to be bound to your console but the internal battery pack negates that if you want to keep playing.

Everyone keeps saying the MS controller is last gen because of its rumble, well, internal batteries that you can't change yourself is older than last gen. Why did they follow Apple and not the example they set with their PSP...

...regular DVDs. This is one of the reasons I hate discs as a distribution method. Bring on digital distribution!!!

...had their day over a decade ago. The fun is too short lived and their is no real support (other than that from Namco) for the G-Con controllers.

Even if this game redefined the rail gun genre, I would never be tempted to spend $1,199 (NZD) on a PS3 to then have to spend another $150 (NZD) for the game and G-con controller.

...here we are with digital downloading killing global music CD sales. The trend is that digital downloads will become mainstream in the future. If not in 5 years then definitely within 10.

I for one don't like disc's for the following reasons:
- If a disc gets damaged or scratched beyond repair and you have to fork out again to buy another copy.
- As soon as I get the disc home the first thing I want to do is rip it onto my hard drive for wireless play throug...

...stories on Blu-ray v's HD-DVD. They are all tiresome and offer no new insight. Gamers alone are not going to help either format win so we can all debate it until the cows come home - it won't make a squat of difference.

As soon as Universal announces its supporting Blu-Ray then thats when we will all know which player we should buy. Until then, we should all avoid these discussions so we don't become Toshiba's or Sony's b*tches.

Seems like every other day Sony is releasing a new patch for their O/S. Nothing wrong with fixing bugs and introducing new capabilities but it must have been a bare bones O/S when it was first released.

How do users who are not connected to the internet get the latest patch released?

Any fanboy that claims the war has been won is strictly speaking out of his or her arse. I wonder how many stand alone DVD players were sold in the same time period. Even if you combine HD-DVD and Blu-Ray sales they are still dwarfed by DVD!

If it was not for the PS3, Blu-Ray may already be dead and buried!!!

However, lets see which camp is first to bring some players to the market that most people can actually afford. Mind you, I'm still not buying either as ...

...The demo on XBL was pretty generic. The gameplay felt tired and nothing really made this game stand out amongst the crowd of FPS games.

Will probably delegate this to a rental when it $10 for 8 days.

...categorised in the Tech section. Many gamers find this sort of tech news interesting - unfortunately the format debate is getting too much coverage at present.

I for one say fcuk movie formats for a while and bring on the big gaming news!!!!

...is that they are fun for a weekend but have no longevity. I really enjoyed Time Crises 3 on the PS2 but the fun was short lived.

Be interesting to see what they do with the PS3 release other than obviously giving it a significant graphical make over.

...this game features a rock steady (and I don't mean a max) frame rate then I am definately getting it. Have always loved this franchise.

Every time the HD v's Blu-Ray argument comes up all we get is a bunch of Sony fanboys or early adopters defending their purchase.

If this goes on much longer both formats will ultimately lose as consumers on a mass scale won't be keen on buying movies on two different formats. The only thing the competing formats are doing is opening the door for things like digital distribution.

I don't care which one wins, just wish one of them would already!

...but nothing like introducing a whole new legion of fans to brand loyalty now is it.

Consider this, what if Nintendo take all that new found revenue and develop the Wii-2 in 4-5 years time. How many current Wii owners would not upgrade to a higher spec'd Wii for the right price?

How many people who had the PSOne went on to purchase the PS2?
How many PS2 owners have purchased or are waiting to purchase the PS2 and won't consider any other options? ...

...to be more concerned about how we're all acquiring more and more devices for use in the home. Hell, has anyone heard of global warming for goodness sake? No, I'm not saying that the PS3 is the cause of global warming but too many consumers keep pushing their household eco footprint up and up on an annual basis by introducing more and more devices into their home.

I guess what I'm saying is that most of us don't care if our own power bill fluctuates a little but when we al...

...obviously the lighting effects need to be tweaked as shadows and ambient lighting effects from weapons are pretty non-evident. Other than that, this looks to be a must have title so its on my list of games to own.

I love Geometry Wars on the 360 (but suck at it!). This variant on the games looks extremely nice - here's hoping that Geometry Wars 2 looks this good.
