The PS3 can pull data form the HDD and Blu-ray at the same time.
My guess is this game has an install?
In which case the higher res/mip levels will be stored on the HDD, while the lower res stuff stays on the BR disc.
Makes streaming the Higher-res stuff a bit faster.
In the end, if the game was installed to HDD on both, I wonder if there would be a difference?
<Points and laughs at all the people on the forums who think HHG said Conviction was coming to the PS3>
Seriously?
What you guys dont actually ever click on the links on N4G? You just hang around waiting for something remotly positive about the PS3 and comment on it without actually finding out what its all about?
Yeah its just shy of 1.4 million, which is not quite what MS did last year.
NPD will be interesting because its either going to show that.
a/ MS and Sony did well
b/ Sony stole some of MS sales.
I must admit I thought there are better games you surely could put in the top 5 for the PS3.
AFAIK Last Guardian isnt even confirmed 2010?
Well it goes something like this:
PS3 Fans:
-yeah but thats not sold, thats shipped
-yeah but how many are replacmenets for RROD
-yeah but how many are replacements for bans
-this isnt the real number
-doesnt matter, Sony are only X amount behind, we have been kicking butt this 1/4 (with no real proof-and none will be forthcoming till January)
The rest:
Well done MS, 5.5 million is the 2nd largest amount you have ...
To be 4.5 million behind Sony would have to have shipped 7.2 million units in this 1/4 alone.
They already told us they did 3.8 in December, so your saying they shipped 3.4 million units in October and November.
BTW, can I quote you on this. Because your awefully game saying this. Me personally I think they are more likely to be 5.5-6 million behind, but still a gain.
Uh, yeah Sony shipped 8.5 million units in the last 1/4...
Quick gimme some of what your smoking.
ROFL.
" but worldwide the PS3 outsold the 360 by more than 150,000 units or more"- really?
We dont know, the only offical figures come out at the fiscals at the end of Janurary.
We dont know jack about how much they have been sold/outsold.
I dont know where those who are pro PS3 get there figures from but it aint Sony.
In saying that this appears MS has shipped around 5.5 million units, I would expect Sony somewhere above that maybe by 1/2 to 3...
Bungies HDR is a different implemntation all together. HDR is easily done on the 360.
HDR- Awesome feat, mimicing the human eye.
Must be something like this..

Now, when was that title launched again?
Why because of theire example of HDR?
Yeah fair enough how about oh I dont know PGR 3 launch title on the 360.
Get us some exmaples of why it cant be done first, not simply because you think so.
KZ2 cant be done on the 360 due to its deffered rendering/framebuffer.
There is nothing we have seen or been told about GOW3 that says or shows it cant be done on any other system.
"For example, using the High Dynamic Range Lighting (HDRL) technology, the camera - when using Krato's sightline - will emulate the human retina, causing players to feel a sharp brightness when Kratos exits a dark area and enters a sunlit area, similar to how the human eye would need to adjust."
What like every HDR empowered game on the 360.
Gimme a break.
ROFL.
I'm guessing they mean compared ot the PS2 maybe.
I really do wish people would read the article not the headlines, this is about the AUSTRALIAN verison.
So all you PS3 people who want to put a boot into the game, I suggest you dont, you will look silly.
@Leonskennedy.
What world do yo live in?
MS just released their 1/4 results, maybe you should learn to read.
When was th elast time Sony made 330 million on the game division for a 1/4?
While your at it go read Sonys last 3 years of reports.
<facepalm> good grief, is the sky blue in your world?
Hip, you just missed the mark on so many things.
-Sky is a paid subscription serivce, if you get it on the 360 or via a digital box, it is and always has been a pay service, nothing to do with MS.
-Sky has a HELL of a lot of exclusive sport content, and I'm talking LIVE EXCLUSIVE stuff.
-Price, MS just made a massive quarlerly profit, and could easily (and I mean still have money left over to make a profit) drop $70-$100 off the price.
Matt Atwood at BioWare just contacted us to clarify his statements from earlier today regarding Mass Effect 2's exclusivity to Xbox 360 and PC. He says, "It [exclusivity] actually does exist for Mass Effect 2. And beyond that, we haven't announced any plans." -July 2009
