That would actually be quite easy. A number of amps can already do that. It's not that hard, plus you can employ some jiggery pokery to make the extra channels sound independent (like virtual surround routines that recreate stuff)
Toshiba - reinventing the wheel.
I don't have any problems with Toshiba, and I'd like to have seen HD-DVD win, but this move is retarded. Upscaling DVD players are old news. I picked up a 1080p, region free, Sony upscaling, run of the mill DVD player for 70 quid. You know what? Panasonic, Sony and whoever don't even make that much noise about it. There are like, here's a DVD player, oh by the way it can upscale to 1080p.
Why are they making it out to be revoluti...
As much as I hope this is true, Turn10 haven't even moved into their new premises yet, never mind started thinking about Forza3. Anyway, 100 tracks is asking a little too much. I'd say 20. 400 cars would be about right though. As for 2 discs? Maybe. I don't know how big Forza2 was, but I hope they give you an install option. Disk swapping is a pain.
I counted a grand total of 3 games worth looking into. These are far from must haves.
Yeah, although a USB device could refer to anything, it's obvious and most likely a USB storage device, or firmware update of some kind. Fingers crossed!
A 4GB USB pendrive would be just the ticket. SD cards are way too slow to run games from directly, it took about 3 minutes to copy Ocarina of time to SD.
It's actually 64MB for RE on N64. Back in those days space was quoted in bits, not bytes. 8bits = 1 byte so 512mbits = 64mbytes. Lucasarts are full of crap. The article suggests it's mainly games 1995 and before, which is SNES/MD time, which the largest games (Tales of Phantasia and Star Ocean) were 48mbit/6MB.
Though I am not Japanese, I'm offended at this. There is nothing the hell wrong with Japanese games, in fact someone, somewhere in Japan is probably asking what the hell is wrong with the Xbox360, all it's shooting games and reliability issues, but I won't go in to that.
I didn't bother to even read the article, because it is clear it's biased. Yes, some of the most influential games were made in Japan (Ocarina of Time, Mario 64/Galaxy etc), but Tetris was made in Russia. Forz...
I think the problem is people will say, "I want to kill him" in a rage, but not really mean it. If they did, he would already be dead. God people over analyse stuff sometimes
360 pad is nice, but certainly not the best. D pad is crap. And Playstation pad? The analog stick (the default control for like 99% of games) is in the wrong place. GC pad was comfortable, but the button design made it useless for fighting games etc.
They should have had the N64 pad. Expansion port in the back for memory/rumble/transfer pack? Hell yes. Same with DC, it didn't take of the the VMU was innovative.
I've got a major downer on digital. This might sound weird from someone who is only 23 (not exactly old enough to be an old timer with these darned computers).
First we had CD which replaced Vinyl. CDs advantages outweighed it's disadvantages, but there are always people who prefer Vinyl because, cracks and pops aside, it produces a richer, more accurate sound. That's the beauty of analog. Things don't get estimated or rounded. Anyway, I'm happy with CD. I only own a few Vinyls f...
They both suck. Epox or DFI is where it's at.
I downloaded the Nintendo channel yesterday. I had to copy 1080 to SD (160 blocks) which took an absolute age. Must have been 2 or 3 minutes just staring at a blank scree. When I had downloaded it and started it, it told me I needed more space, so I had to move Puyo Puyo which too another minute or so. 5 Minutes of messing around just to install a channel is poor.
This sounds like a plan to re package those unsold HD-DVD players and pass them off as something else.
What I still don't understand is why? Why are they making such a big fuss about upscaling DVDs? Thats old news already.
Sorry guys, but I'm sticking with Third Strike. Something about this just doesn't seem right, and yeah, the graphics look pretty poor given some of the benchmarks we have these days.
I had no points left. I would have bought some if I had the storage space, but I refuse to mess around copying/redownloading/moving stuff just because of the poor memory situation. I had filled my Wii up months ago.
For me it can randomly crash on youtube. I get a complete screen glitch and it's like 10 pixels wide repeating left to right of grey or sometimes a scroll bar. It completely kills the computer so you have to kill the power to it.
The best COA for Sega would be to merge with Nintendo. If I had said this 10 years ago, you would have called me batsh1t insane, but it can work seeing as they are both old school and have similar styles. MS and Sony are the "young fools" who only seem to care about graphics and don't really have a key first party franchise or mascot to associate with.
People are forgetting. The 360 released 1 year + before the Wii. Wii was fastest to reach 10million in the US, which did so in around 18 months

USB mass storage (would mean they aren't issuing hardware since you provide your own), or a USB key, which isn't a harddrive.
