Doesn't Blu-ray use uncompressed Mpeg-2 while Microsoft uses VC-1. I don't think Blu-ray uses Microsoft's codec for the Blu-ray players, now if you are talking about when blu-ray drives integrate into computers then they have to right, to be compatible with Windows
Blu-ray does have the option to use VC-1, it actually has 3 options the other ones being Mpeg-2 and H.264/AVC.
H.264 is the superior format to Mpeg-4 and VC-1 is a derivative codec. I am thinking most Bl...
My favorite race to use on Starcraft!
"Although he agreed that an immediate boost in sales was likely, Screen Digest's Ed Barton argued that pricing is only one factor and consumers can be swayed more by brand appeal than value for money."
How about that other factor of reliability, nowhere in the article was that mentioned, is RROD problem fixed, I don't see any articles about that. Does Europe not care about the reliability factor because I sure as heck read, and seen many stories of Europeans pissed at ...
I can attest to the draw of the smash titles, when I got an N64 I got that game and played the heck out of it, but when I got a Gamecube and I bought this game I played nearly non-stop for a year, having fun and laughing my head off, the only thing is you do get tired of it and the Gamecube didn't have other games to keep my interest for the system, yeah I have Mario sunshine and beat that, but not having strong 3rd party developers is obviously going to hurt the system and make the system as...
You know I would rather have the RROD fixed permanently than have a price drop any day of the week
I could not have said it any better! Bubbles for you!
Yeah, you know I think a customer would buy a 1 GB hard drive, or no hard drive later upgradeable, that is totally cured from any defects of the present problems than a higher HDD drive capacity
They should put this, as sandip787 said, as a priority before increasing the hard drive first
I'm not that adept at tech-knowledge, but what you are saying about DVD-20 means more layers right, doesn't that increase the load times or the access speed on the DVD, and you are right it is not a loss for Microsoft, but a huge gain for Sony, obviously not as big as windows monopoly but this will help Sony sell more PS3, make more revenue in the movie business and give much revenue to Sony so they can support the PS3 in the future, and close the huge gap of units sold between them, Nintendo...
Yeah, I think its due to royalties, but I also think that its not just Sony going to receive it, but the bigger bulk of it, am I right?
The reason why they did this is to avoid Microsoft from prioritizing its VC-1 codec to be used in every hi-def media, in other words you will have a windows like monopoly, so I'm glad they did it
Didn't Gamespot say they wanted to have a better re pore with their readers, how is this going to do that, is there a strategy they are trying to implement that I don't know about?
I think 7 was a little better than 6, but I don't fault you on your decision
I remember the time FF 6 came out my cousin got it, and I stayed the night
The game was amazing to where we actually didn't sleep until 8 a.m. the next morning, and the cool part was when he was playing the ghost train scenario it was around 10 p.m. and it was raining and thundering hard outside, so a very great experience for FF 6
I love FF VII I think its one of the best RPG ever made, but my favorite and glad its on the top 5 of the list is Xenogears, mixing religion, philosophy, and science into such an immersive story line was genius
Don't get me wrong both of the games had me finishing these very fast because I couldn't put the controller down
Also obviously the attention to detail to each character and how they all tie together to the overall story has made both of these top tier RPG's
It seems like the PS3 is getting some Wii treatment
also I've seen that commercial before it ever ran during the Super Bowl so it seemed like they weren't really into reviving the HD-DVD by playing back a rerun
I am in the exact same boat as you were but the difference I have no PSP and I want one real bad
Got mine 8/2007!!!
Yeah isn't a microphone enabled game open season on everyone. I mean you do meet some nice people, but you will encounter the occasional social misfit.
Isn't the universal thing to do is to mute the mic?
I don't know if this female knows it, but if your any race you are going to get offended, so we are in the same boat my lady.
There's one small tiny itsy bitsy thing you didn't mention for the PS3 it has the winning format on its side, one thing the PS2 helped propel last gen
I know history sometimes repeats itself, but sometimes it doesn't
Having a system to appeal to the casual fans (Blu-ray player) and hardcore fans (PS3 gaming system) is IMHO going to go against the grain of powerful system -> low sales
The gaming platforms used last gen were not particularly used as a m...
That is disgraceful, but want to hear something weird, as I am reading this the ad is for the PSP with their motto "Dude get your own"
