This is actually the best time to get a HD-DVD Player. Once it drops to around $40, it's going to be the BEST DVD Upscaler for the price. And I'm being serious. Once I see one of those bad boys down that price, I'm getting one. And heck, I'll even buy a HD-DVD or two. It's not going to make a difference in the "format war" anyway. It's just gonna be a awesome DVD Upscaler.
well after reading some threads. looks like i'm buying a hd-dvd player if it's around $40. why? just to play transformers and as an upscale DVD player.
Jesus came down to earth, and brought the world peace. He also mentioned "MGS4 is PS3 only my sons and daughters"
But that fruitful 360 owner will say "No jesus. MGS4 is coming to the 360! Look! Here on N4G. It has to be true. WHY NOT JESUS?!?!? WHY!?!?!??!"
Yup. Honestly it's all they can say. When the PS3 launched, as sad as it was. The only compelling PS3 title was Resistance. Fast foward 1 year later. They're low-IQ brains cant realize that the PS3 "no games" days are over. There's plenty to keep people busy until huge titles like MGS4 etc. etc.
Infact, I'm enjoying Uncharted so much even though I beat it 3 times already. Uncharted is up there with my favorite playstation games like Jak and Daxter.
Haha okay. I think you mistunderstood what I meant.
Well for the record I own both a 360 and PS3. But, I obviously am in favor for the PS3 and Blu-Ray. I've been a supporter for sony since PS1, and PS2. Now it's PS3. Why do I own a 360 too? I just happen to like video games whether it's PC, 360, or PS3. However, there's only one brand that meets ALL my needs every generation. And it's Playstation.
The PS1 being just my gaming console, opened a whole new world never t...
you know I honestly understand what you're saying. but look at it this way.
people... like you and me... who happen to watch movies... ok now listen... are also people... like you and me... who also happens to be the same people... here it comes... who will play a video game!
okay in all seriousness, something you have to consider. if a person who can afford a $399 PS3. will most likely be able to afford a $299 standalone blu-ray player. but let's say that person...
As respectable as this seems. It's more likely that it's just when the contract with HD-DVD expires. If they breached the contract, there can be some lawsuits.
Although I could be wrong, seeing as how Paramount just completely stopped as soon as they announced they were HD-DVD exclusive, yet no lawsuits were pending.
Hell, it's corporate. Who knows the truth behind these things unless you work for them.
Standalone player sales don't matter without software sales. Let's all face reality. If you buy a player, it's the software you seek.
It's Ironic how 360 owners always say the PS3 has "no games" and wont sell well. But the PS3 actually has some decent titles, not as much obviously as the 360. But it's still there.
But it looks like it's more true for HD-DVD. Buy a standalone HD-DVD player and what do you get? "No Movies" But sure it still has ...
Nah, it's probably going to be $10,000 a piece. You just need to find the right buyer. Someone like a HD-DVD lover or a PS3 hater. They love HD-DVD more than they're own lives.
So i'll be looking for TheMart around that time.
Knowing microsoft, they probably had Blu-Ray add-on's pre-made just incase something like this happened.
That's also assuming Sony will even let Microsoft get a piece of the blu-pie. It's an important advantage to the PS3, and I highly doubt they're just going to hand it over to they're competitor.
damn it's time to buy me a buttload of HD-DVD's. Who knows how much those rare things will be worth 20 years from now.
Haha the dude. Don't got games to play? bwahahahah. looks like someone's feelings are hurt dreadfully.
Come 2nd quarter of 2008, PS3 owners will be basking with MGS4 glory, and Killzone 2 Glory, well and even GTA IV Glory (yeah and 360 owners get to bask in that glow too at least), but Secondly enjoying BLU RAY EXCLUSIVE movies from WB, Fox, Sony Pictures, Disney, hell every movie studio except Paramount and Universal.
And once HD-DVD starts to really die out and...
Yeah so if the 360 outsells the PS3 according to VGcharts, then there's always people saying "Those numbers are a good source and indication of the market and are pretty accurate"
But if it's the PS3 outselling the 360, then it's "Hmmm I wouldn't trust VGchartz. It's not very accurate, and the 360 is outselling the PS3 in the U.S. The rest of the world doesn't matter, I'm american and only the U.S. matters"
It's obvious. People who bought a 360 who live in Japan likes western games. COD4 is a western FPS. So it's natural PS3 owners who happen to buy a PS3 for whatever weird japanese titles they buy, won't dig COD4.
Starcraft II
Which would fit the PS3 considering the PS3 has mouse and keyboard support.
Although more than likely it will go to the 360 if it was to go to a console because of the bigger install base.
Actually I played FarCry I.P. on the 360 and yeah, the game had nothing but low-res textures left and right. But it is a old game. You never know, maybe they can push the graphics of the 360/PS3 with this game?
Yeah, who can Honestly say they didn't abandon a whole generation... What the... OMG, they did!?!? XBOX? I didn't know such a thing... /sarcasm
*sigh* bladestar again. You contradict your own words with "Microsoft is a games machine"
If that's the case, they could just stick with the 6 SKUS now and just continue making games. So why would they release one with a HD-DVD built-in when they said "the DVD9 is enough", then try to get Divx support when they see the PS3 got divx certified, say HDMI isn't necessary for gaming, saying wi-fi isn't needed when you can just plug in the LAN.
Mic...
Bladestar you win the most ignorant post of the century.
The point of the HDD is versatility. Meaning it can be used for caching games, installing game data, downloading game demos, Divx movies, MP3s, etc. etc.
I personally have a 100gb HDD in my PS3 and i've already used up 60gb's all because of games (everday shooter, super stardust HD, warhawk, GTHD, Tekken 5 DR, etc.), game demos, plethora of HD videos (counted 196 videos), MP3s, etc. etc.

If you are in the least bit interested in Media and Entertainment which includes video games and movies, then you'll want to know something like this. Why is this all over the internet? Its big news for the industry, good or bad (all in perception) it will show where we're headed. So take your head out of your 360's butt, and realize that. You will see changes in strategy from console makers like Microsoft. They were backing HD-DVD and promising that if you bought that add-on you won't be sor...
