I bought into HD-DVD(only after I found a player for $79 firesale). Now it looks like less than one year later I can finally get a Blu-ray player.

Too bad this will only make the PS3 look less attractive price wise.

It is a good thing your skills at predicting the future were so accurate on that one.:)

I will wait patiently for any other predictions and then I will invest in the opposite of that.

This sick f*@% should get the harshest punishment possible......but
as a parent myself, it is MY responsibility to know who the hell my kid is hanging out with.

Sorry, but part of the blame does belong with the mom.

The only data I could find for software totals in 2008 is this:

**only 1 PS3 game in the top ten for the year....and again it is a multi-platform.

Now, to be fair, the 360 only had one exclusive while the other three were multi-platform.

That is not a "must have".........it is a "will have" :)

(don't flame me, I own a RROD 360)

We are in a little thing called a recession right now.

Price is the number 1 factor for consumers at the moment.

1.The audio on Transformers HD-DVD is DD-plus 5.1. It is encoded at 1.5mbs and received 5 stars.

**note:"High-res audio had not yet become standard in next-gen releases."

2.The Blu-ray version (just like the HD-DVD) had no extras on the main disc. They both received multiple disc treatment.

3.Both Blu-r...

Not everyone has or wants an HDTV, online gaming or web surfing from their gaming console.

All the "choices" you give only pertain to the PS3. So if someone wants all of those, buy the PS3.

The Wii can do virtually none of those and it is KILLING the competition. So I guess all the choices you give are not what a majority of the public wants.

At least the 360 offers a Wii-like console option with no HD cables and limited online capabili...

Let me guess, if the PS3 was absolutely killing in sales and kids reacted to getting one like on this video, you wouldn't have a problem with it?

I can also assume that any other company or person that works to earn money is also "selling their souls"?

Just enjoy the video for what it is.

This guy wants 50k for three f*#@ing scratched discs?

Welcome to the wonderful world of victimhood and ambulance-chacing lawyers.

MS should only replace the discs or the unit itself.

I know you tried your hardest not to be fanboyish....but you failed.

If you don't like the gameplay, then leave it at that. Making the comments about the "power" of each system is fanboyism. Period.

Each system has its own strengths and weaknesses. All of which have been discussed at length on this site. One game does not prove the superiority of a system.

Plus, whether you like it or not, an overwhelming majority of reviews and, I am wil...

If you want to shell out $25-$39(Blu-ray) for every movie you watch, go for it.

This service is geared toward the average consumer, not the "uber-HD" concerned gamer like you and me. It is still appealing, to some, to have the option of watching a movie from your living room right now.

Look, how many times have you or anyone else been to the rental store and the movie you want to watch it all out? Especially if it a title that you were really interested...

Just because some CEO "predicts" Blu-ray will take over DVD in less than 2 years, doesn't mean it is going to happen.

Remember, Iron Man is the best selling Blu-ray so far with 500,000 in one week. However, it also sold 7.2 million on DVD the same week. That is only 14%. It is better, but that was one title released to the demographic that owns the most Blu-ray players(PS3 owners that are guys 16-30).

When Blu-ray disc sales are consistantly above 10% e...

MS had a vested interest in HD-DVD surviving because it used HDI (developed by MS) for the interactive features on HD-DVDs.

Secondly, from what I have read in the past, MS was considering delaying the 360 to have HD-DVD drives internally installed.

Whenever the 360 actually outsells the PS3 for one month in Japan, it IS news!:)

Come on, I doubt that any rational person here believes that the 360 will win in the Japanese market, but it is amazing to see how MS has been able to keep their foot in the door.

There is no denying the failure rate of the launch 360 motherboard was high, but to my knowledge no one has ever proven, DEFINITIVELY, what the actual rate is.

The only thing that I can say from my point of view is that the 360 is getting better and that the Jasper board may offer the best bet for someone who wants to get a new 360.
