How has he not been banned yet? At least the other fanboys of this site show SOME worthy posts with realistic beliefs and/or articles...
How come you were MIA on that news article a few weeks back that stated 360 ISN'T dead in europe but in fact IS doing better than the PS3!? OMGHI2U!!! Want proof? Go look at vgchartz for europe (and then come back here and say they suck and are not a reputable source, cuz it works against your ideals). In Japan the PS3 isn't doing so hot eithe...
It's one of those things you really question yourself that if BD were far superior I would back them up but since it's the opposite why how are so many people backing BD? My guess is the Sony fanboys really do make a voice heard to justify their PS3 purchase. I think the sales figures being split roughly 1.5:1 clearly show the massive installer base of BD players (mainly thanks to PS3) don't have the impact that BD wished the PS3 to have. Those neutral like myself won't go BD until they finis...
Blu-ray.com toots it's horn about how BD is doing in europe? a market that is so small in HDM that has the biggest impact from the PS3 (being that Europe is Sony Land)?
We've heard BD in the US go from 7 to 1 (or more) lead (which btw was for 1-2 weeks) but it's at 1.5:1. And even if BD wins 8956708935673063 to 1 in Europe, majority of posters here on N4G are from the US so why do you care? The movies are region locked anyways (a major disadvantage BD has) so you can't view BD ...
maybe some of you ps3 die hard fantrolls, like yourself, should pick this up and enjoy gaming on all platforms. the ONLY thing you would ever need really is the HDD which nowadays you can get super cheap on ebay.
hdmi port (not a need but all the sony guys make it so) - check
wireless controller - check
5 free arcade games - check
2 free great 360 games - check
memory card - check
cheaper price - check
go troll somewhere else.
halo3 was predicted to sell very well and this is proof alone. i'm not one to compare both forms of entertainment but it's clear they are looking at the overall revenue from cost to consumer as opposed to cost of product. 170mil is impressive to say the least. the game is great, not my cup of tea but definitely great and worth the $60 easy which will also move systems. has your ps3 had any title like this yet? oh thats right... you're still playing the ...
ever notice how he doesn't post in the pro-360 threads? like the one a few weeks back that stated the 360 actually is doing better than the ps3 in europe (reference vgchartz for europe)
that's right buddy, your beloved system is a good one, just not worth it yet to the masses around the world
With the amount of HDM news on here I figured this would be posted by now.
Is it apparent now to the PS3 fanboys that the 'war' isn't over? That HD DVD isn't dead? and that BD is really in shambles now with ALL that they have done wrong (or haven't done right yet, however you look at it).
EDIT: to below, get over myself? Those blu goggles must really work! I take it you are the many PS3 owners who instantly think you know all there is to know about home theater ...
1 Universal
2 Paramount
3 Dreamworks
4 Weinstein
I could go on...
Here's who is not supporting the competition
* Disney (including Touchstone, Miramax)
* Sony Picture (including MGM/Columbia Tristar)
* 20th Century Fox
Now think, aren't the studio support list roughly split in half? And last I checked, the last FOX release on BD was back in late March/early April. Congrads, you got a lot of 'support' t...
and that software sales lead you speak of is 1.5:1. That's also with 7-10 times the players but only 1.5:1 lead. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.
Whoever buys a stand alone BD player is going to be really REALLY pissed off when they realize their $500-$1500 player, even newly released, will be obsolete soon as the 1.1 (and 2.0) profiles hit the market.
In other words, the PS3 is still the best BD player out there. Look around, Samsung and LG who are BD exclusive are already working on dual format players. Seems they aren't happy with the way things are going. Call me a fanboy, I'm neutral... I just think it is assinine t...
since I myself have said it.
But think about it, including the PS3 it's been projected that BD has 7-10 times the players over HD DVD...
So why then only a 1.5:1 lead in software sales?
That's why analysts don't like using the PS3 as a BD player (even though it is THE bluray player to use, wouldn't want to spend $1200 on a standalone that is going to be obsolete now would we). I think I read somewhere that a VERY small amount of PS3 owners actually us...
Gaming: PC / Wii / PS2 / PSP / XBOX1 / XBOX360 (no PS3 yet)
Movies: HD-A2 (HD DVD) which replaced my crappy SD DVD
Due to buy: PS3 for gaming and movies
All my gaming needs are on everything but the PS3 (not appealing to me yet)
All my movie needs for DVD and HD DVD I play on my HD-A2, BD will come when I get a PS3
Current state of BD -> not so good
You forgot that HD DVD not only has Toshiba but also Venturer, Alpine, Onkyo, Integra, and other China manufacturers just to name a few...
Denon stated they are not exclusive to BD. They are especially not happy about the lack of 1.1 profile and don't want to be the guinea pig for it (hence their delayed BD standalone, their first HDM player and BD's first 1.1 profile player).
and if you're so confident in the BD list than I ask why is LG and Samsung (amongst oth...
cuz HD DVD is ready NOW for the market unlike BD
If there is anyone one to blame it is Sony and the BDA. They NEED the 18 months to finish and finalize their spec as well as to eliminate manufacturing issues with BD50 replication, releasing the 1.1. profile as well as the 2.0 profile, get BD-Java to work as good as HDi without any major issues, etc etc etc
Think about this, all BD players released in Q4 use the 1.0 profile and most are said to be non upgradeable....
The power of the fanboy is strong in this one.
GT5 will be great (as long as they fix everything wrong with the older versions like bump-n-run style racing idiotic AI)
GT series only appeals to those into cars, not everyone likes car racing games. But being bigger than Halo3 I HIGHLY doubt. And this is coming from a big car buff. If you were a true gamer, you'ld be excited over Halo3 as well, but I guess mommy said only 1 console and you picked PS3.
GT5 is...
What, you think Sony won't microtransaction things like MS does? Wait until GT5 comes out in 18 yrs from now, there will be DLC for it as well
more tracks were given, an e30 m3, a mk1 rabbit gti, and many many more classic race cars.
I'll get this though
GREAT GAME!
Only reason why it hasn't had much gametime is because of the cod4beta
i love the spinning by the blu-boys
Sega failed by flooding the market with too many systems & peripherials in such a short time
bulky Genesis, Slim Genesis, 32x, SegaCD, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast...
1st off, wouldn't this be the 5th time HD DVD is dead as per BDA members?
2nd, HDM market in Europe is ridiculously small. 'Outselling' 4:1 of chump change is nothing. To top it off, the HDM market here in the US alone is so minute that it's still too early for a winner (or stalemate). Last figures were around 2% of all movie sales were in high def in the US alone. Japan isn't a market to enter for HDM. Why do you think all the talk is in the USA? oh and your 2:1 is more like 1...
