I think the number of addons sold is less than 200,000, and somewhere in the 150-175k range, although I'm not 100% on that figure. I just think I remembered reading it in a NPD report or something.
Both use the same laser, but on Bluray discs the information is spaced differently and is closer to the discs surface, which allows it to hold more data per layer (25gb to 15gb). Also the peak bit rate of bluray is higher, so IN THEORY(my emphasis because it hasn't been apparent in movie releases to this point, and some may argue it never will) bluray has better video picture quality and audio quality. Honestly that's about it from a technical standpoint. Besides the specs, bluray also has...
They don't make quad layer discs because the DVD players on the market can't read quad layer discs, and they cost much more.
Right now the only thing that can slow DS sales would be the DS2.
All I can think about as a movie right now is God of War. I just got done beating 1 & 2, and they would make unbelievable movies. I've got to admit that Sands of Time and Metroid could also be pretty great.
The gameplay looks pretty solid, like in 1 & 3. I would definitely reccommend that the xbox exclusive folk out there pick this up (Guitar Hero II also) because you guys don't realize what you've been missing as far as action games go. God of War II was unfreakinbelievable by the way.
If it were true to the source material you wouldn't see Samus without here suit until the very end, so I'm assuming that everything would be done by stuntspersons or CGI, but then at the very end she takes off the helmet and it's Jessica Alba. That would kick so much ass.
Goddammit, why does theMART only have 2 bubbles? I used to come to this site alot, but then fall exams, classes and a job, guitar hero 2 (5 stars on all songs on expert), and i just forgot about this site so I haven't been here in a while. I've always been more of a ps3 guy, and one of the only reasons I used to come here was to argue with themart or topgamer. I don't know what happened, but I'd rather themart(and dj) had more bubbles because the arguments were the best part of the website...
Guys, settle down. It's probably a pretty simple thing. Ninja Gaiden 2 is only in the works for the 360 right now. If Sigma sells very well however, they will probably release it on ps3 sometime after the 360 release. I'm not saying this with any certainty, just saying what makes sense to me.
It's not that dire for people who bought into HDDVD.
Worst case scenario HDDVD loses:
All the HDDVDs will then sell at discounted prices-many cheap titles, and when you buy a standalone player you buy a dual format player so your HDDVDs are still playable and you can now buy BluRay movies (Releases that were BD exclusive before should now be cheaper than when they first came out, so another plus). Really, it's not like everything that you spent on one side will be wasted if it ...
The HDDVD drive comparison is pretty ridiculous considering it's not game related on the 360.
What about the latest game? Midna anyone? She's goes through a lot tougher crap then Link and still keeps going. She's the strongest character in the whole damn game.
The differences are basically that BluRay has larger storage capacity, and a larger peak bitrate (better theoretical picture quality and audio quality) and it uses a special Java based special features as opposed to HDDVDs iHD feature. The BluRay java feature hasn't been fully implemented yet, but the BDA promises to soon release BDJ 1.1 to replace 1.0 and increase the functionality greatly. They've also expressed an intent to release BDJ 2.0 a year or so afterwards to increase functionalit...
The rights to Lord of the Rings belongs to New Line Cinema, a format neutral studio. It will almost certainly see a simultaneous release on the formats, and might not even release this year, like the Star Wars and classic Spielberg movies will not see a release soon.
But there will be some strong HD releases coming soon, but unfortunately for HDDVD they're almost exclusively BluRay (Cars, Pirates of the Carribean 1 & 2, Spiderman 1 & 2, Rocky Balboa......HDDVD has Chil...
Batman Begins is a Warner movie, and as such will be seeing release on BluRay sometime later this year.
Way to make Sony's online look EXTREMELY competent somehow!
I can't see myself doing this for any other game besides SSBM. I can't believe they're doing this. I thought they were gonna listen to consumers.
I vote for the guy on the right. The one on the left looks like a pedophile.
I heard that the tech demo was impressive on a technical level, but the graphics weren't anywhere near the infamous trailer. The graphics were however pretty good, and definitely way above what would be considered average.
Now you can believe that there is going to be a lot of improvement, or you can believe that Sony showed a weaker build to create negative hype so that the e3 build will be compared to this and not to the trailer, or you can believe that the graphics will be ...
Sony has implied that using emulation instead of the ps2 chipset would allow games to be upscaled. Also, it should make the playing of ps1 game downloads possible now, hopefully.
YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED RE4 YET!?
Dude, make that your mission in life for the next week. Believe me, you NEED to play that game.
