If Sony is releasing this on the same day as NXE just to show up Microsoft, they might get more than they bargained for. Put Home out there before it's ready and the problems will cause more trouble than it's worth.
Obviously you're the dumb one. 1080p doesn't really show until the screen gets larger. 720p is perfectly fine at 32".
That was funny. bubbles.
You forgot this link.

Which means the person that buys the two disc set paid 5 pounds for some videos that cost the studio next to nothing to include. The extra cost of the set is to make Blu-ray seem cheap. That and to use all the extra to pay for the extra expense of Blu-ray.
List of extras(I don't see 5 pounds worth of things there): ...
Since that was at the release of the 360 I'm not sure why people believe it should have been included. That was mean DD is the present. Microsoft offers Xbox games and TV shows for download. They didn't go with a full on download only system. They stuck with the current format and offered some of what the future has to offer. Sony put all of it's eggs in the Blu-ray basket and has lost billions because of it. So while Microsoft lost maybe 2.5 billion on R & D and RRoD. Sony lost well over...
And it has never been steady. It goes up and down. This weeks 13% is the highest I have seen it. And it took the highest selling release ever on Blu-ray to do it. Last week I believe it was 7%. And the record Iron Man broke was 300 from August of 2007.
But look at the rest of the movies in the top twenty(page 10 of the magazine). The next movie sold less than 35,000 and that was a new release. After that, the next movie sold less than half of the second. Six through twenty sold...
The price of two-disc DVD Special Editions was raised just before the HD formats were released. Think about it for a second, the single-disc version of Iron Man was 13.99 at Circuit City on release. The two-disc DVD is 24.99 and the Blu-ray Special Edition is 25.99. The pricing seems to say that the second DVD is worth $11. The 200 million dollar movie is worth $14 and the extras are worth $11. Hell those extras must have cost them an additional 170 million dollars to make. So either you're b...
Square made it pretty clear that they needed financial help. Sony was unwilling or unable to help. Microsoft was willing to help in exchange for their games coming to the 360.
It seems that so called FF fans would rather see Square go out of business than to do what the market dictates. They never asked Sony to raise the development cost so much. Sony made decisions that cost all of their partners a lot of money. All at a time when developers are going out of business every day. ...
Actually you make the most money by convincing people that they want what you have. You could care less what they want.
Wow, 500,000 in one day. I believe the previous record title was 300 in August of 2007. And I believe the number it sold was around 180,000. So it does seem like some growth there. But at that point there were about a third the Blu-ray players in the marketplace. The PS3 has almost tripled the number of players in the market. So for there to have been actually growth, Iron Man would have had to be closer to 600,000. Which doesn't seem like a lot, but after another year and two months, you wou...
I wasn't one of those people who said the Internet would fail. I was one of those people who was saying the Internet was the future. I was saying that the people who were saying it would fail were "old money" people who used the media to get the gullible to believe that. I also said the "old money" would jump on board as soon as the gullible turned on "new money" and forced most of them out of the market. I removed my money from the stock market a year or so befo...
Actually, I was smart enough to know both formats would be a failure and didn't get either. Not even when the HD DVD add-on was $50. Facts are facts, no one but videophiles really wanted an HD format. HD has been around for years and no one moved to it until the hype started. Most still haven't moved to it.
To be honest, I bought a DVD player week one, when they were $600. And I want a HD format, I'm one of those people that can see the difference. But, I refuse to get pimped. T...
She left you because you suck. Stop whining. Get it together and move on.
Have you people actually thought about the numbers. Blu-ray represents 8% of the market. 500,000 is 7% of the total. So while for a Blu-ray it sold well, the actual percentage of the total was less. And it will get worse as time goes on because the DVD will sell well long after the Blu-ray has slowed to a drip.
Even further, the second place Blu-ray sold 35,000 copies, 7% of what Iron Man sold according to the article. That's compared to the "Sarah Marshall" DVD being ...
Just how much money did Sony give you to pimp out Sleeping Beauty so fast.
They have a lot of nerve. I say if anything is paid, it should go to the bankrupt artist who made the songs.
If you don't want to wait for a movie, the box has a harddrive. They could set up a system like Netflix. You list the movies you want, when it become available, it downloads overnight. You get charged once you start watching it.
Every day there is a new article talking about how much Microsoft is struggling. Owning 93% of the OS market is not struggling. Apple uses the fact that Macs run Office as a selling point and Apple did make Bootcamp so that Macs could use Windows. And for all of the articles talk of Google, it didn't mention that Google only makes 25% of the profit MS makes each year. And then there are those free on-line productivity suites, free as in they make little or no profit. The 360 has a very solid ...
I agree. The problem is that Sony can't afford to cut the price of the PS3 after already cutting the price of the Blu-ray stand-alone players, which they really couldn't afford either. Cutting the price of the Blu-ray players is already an admission that the PS3 is not driving Blu-ray sells to the extent Sony had hoped for.
When Sony did this last year, their console was not selling as well as it is now. The PS3 was also being sold at a lose. I also think it was being bundled with Sony TVs. Sony gets nothing but market-share that way. Plus, the TVs were at a much higher price range. What is happening here is at the lower end of the price range where the vast majority of televisions are bought. And I'm sure Microsoft gets maybe a $100 from Panasonic because it helps them too. They are TVs that would have most lik...
