LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Viacom Inc's Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc said on Monday they will release their DVD titles exclusively on HD DVD, the high-definition digital movie format whose sales have lagged those of rival Blu-Ray so far this year.
Paramount, which distributes DreamWorks Animation's DVDs, settled on HD DVD after determining that the format offers better quality and lower-cost players and lower manufacturing costs, the studios said in a statem...
History speaks louder than typing words. Remember those that hadn't fled tyranny are still in the midst of it.
You want to try to like them because you feel sorry for them. I mean Uwe Boll keeps trying to make good and entertaining films but every one of them is a major flop but yet the studios keep giving him a break, a chance to do better next time. So just like Uwe Boll Sony keeps releasing games for the PS3, each a flop, none showing system potential but yet people still keep standing behind them hoping, praying that the next game, desirable or not, that it is a hit for the system. Because being o...
I'm looking for something other than blu-ray movies to purchase and it seems that my choices consist of XBOX 360 ports, crappy game or crappy game or once again Blu-ray. I see so much Blu-ray that I'm dreaming about it in my sleep, it's the coolest, really it is; I think? I don't know anymore it's been just about a year with no games and none foreseeable in the future. I mean come on how can I get that excited about games I wouldn't even consider if Socom 4, GTA4 or MGS were available. I feel...
Rapid fire balls and cut scenes, when are they going to make a game worth my $600.00 beans. I mean how many damn Blu-ray movies are they going to make me have to rent, I thought I bought the best game console ever made not a Blu-ray player, that is what Sony told me anyway. I want games not Blu-ray Movies, I feel as though they are delaying the games until Blu-ray wins. Anyone else feel the same way?
Because under your logic and Sony's, the PS3 is supposed to stagnate for a couple of years during it's premature release to slowly build a Fan base to eventually catch up to it's self by 2010.
In the mean time you get a handful of games and a new movie format to play with for your early adoption, investment, Beta test.
So, while all the AAA title go to The 360, secretly 1st party and certain 3rd are working round the clock to create games that require 25 gigs of ...
STFU- This is the best you have? Oh yeah "I'm a leprechaun" :p
Just call me Lucky thats what my friends call me. I know you want to be my friend. Why else would you pay me so much mind?
Unless of course the TRUTH HURTS, which it does.
Really I mean you no personal malice, but I fear someone needs to wake up the sleeping Flock.
I'm sorry if the Irish in my name had wronged you in some way, really I try to keep it on a short leash.
...
...and they will continue to rent them because they rent well.
It's Like this a giant factory goes out of business, so the town knows that a lot of people will be out of work and hungry.
For a projected period the town needs to order extra soup and shelter for their soup lines.
(PS3 gamers have no games, the will need something to feed the PS3)
Do they place a permanent order for more soup or do they temporarily increase the amount they purc...
Does it matter, perhaps he wrote both! It seems that you have nothing more to offer than trolling others comments!~!:p
Grow some balls, and stand for something you believe in. If that sums up to not much at all than it seems your the one that needs to STFU!!!!!!
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
Good Luck!
You will know when their doing well because you won't hear squat from them as holds true for them through out their history.
This is all back pedaling PROPAGANDA, lets call it what it is!
The sales figures for the company shows high levels of shipping to retailers, and the retailers store rooms are reflecting over shipments and overstocks of PS3.
Every Best Buy is sitting on 30+ 60g PS3s, so many that their trying to create package deals to get rid...
These are straight out misinterpretations and lies!
Yes, Blockbuster went with Blu-ray for the summer and sighted the reason for this as, "in their 250 test locations, the majority of HD rentals went to Blu-ray do to the large amount of PS3 gamers seeking something to watch on their near gameless PS3s".
Thats the major reason! Based on that reasoning, and obviously researchable data consisting of a zero game line up for the PS3. Blockbuster is banking t...
I'll tell you the 360's failure rate for the first year of consoles is high but they know whats causing it and are taking measures to correct it.
From my experience sighting this possible hardware failure is not a good reason for not purchasing an XBOX 360.
Now let me tell you why;
1. 1 yr warranty
2. 2yr extended warranty (3 yrs all together)
3. Buy at Sam's Club (exchange easily up to ??)They are very liberal!
4. Customer se...
You win! I'll go get a PS3 today.
@TheGoodMart- WWJD? I guess he'd buy a PS3! Right?
Hello! Can't you tell when your being had? Are you so used to believing everything that is said to you, that you just don't question anything that isn't obvious PS3 bashing? SHEEP!
Your kidding right? You all see that this is an obvious attack on the exorbitant cost of the Playstation 3. The Irony of this article, and the reason I love it so, is it exposes the system with straight forward truth of pricing.
$1000 to get set up with nothing on the horizon. A couple...
You PS3 fan if your not careful the rest of the angry PS3 mob is libel to string you up. Were you left out of the last meeting or something?
You must defend Sony no matter how illogical it is. Shame on you for not jumping on the Blu-ray fan boat, and worrying about your drive's life.
Don't you know your Drive is supposed to be for Movie watching first and gaming second.
I'd swear you had lost your mind being an honest playstation fan, you'd best g...
That is some seriously bad figuring, Every HD-DVD player 360 or otherwise is a standalone player in the sense that it was specifically purchased to watch HD-DVDs.
The PS3 is a wolf in sheep's closing posing as a BLU-ray player for Sony's books. That article sighting PS3 owners use of the Blu-ray probably came in the form of a self addressed postcard that promised something free for filling it out. It probably only gave the options; I plan on purchasing in the next 12 months: a...
PS3 is doomed as well as Blu-ray, not even a price cut is going to make a non gamer buy a PS3 for movie watching. The average person couldn't even program a VCR, do you really think their going to buy a seemingly complicated gaming system to watch movies? LOL, your dreaming!
People want user friendly components and a $199 HD-DVD player this Holiday season is going to be their ticket.
Mark my words The PS3 has met the fate of UMD and the PSP, and Blu-ray's death i...
..look at how fast they pick up on these stories and start spewing their propaganda that HD-DVD is dead. Cont rare Mon frare , HD-DVD is far from dead, boasting the best titles and features out to date, HD-DVD has been moving very well in the market.
If you take the PS3 out of the equation, Blu-ray stand alone players sold to date are around 100,000 stand alone players, Where HD-DVD is upwards of 300,000 stand alone players.
**When you do add the PS3, the numb...
Looks and feels like the 1st installment of the game with a very pretty makeover. I was looking forward to this game being the one that made me feel the urgency to purchase a PS3. I want one because I am Home entertainment enthusiast and I have everything you could want to enjoy Games and Movies in my home with the exception of a PS3. Unfortunately it would just be a redundant piece of equipment as I have an HD-DVD player, an XBOX 360, a WII and a Plasma to view it on and a Yamaha with Bose s...
