What exactly is the big issue here? .... I tried out all of my divx/xvid files last night, and had no problems using WMP11 as the media server. The picture quality is excellent, and the streaming is quick to get going and lag free.
And to those complaining that streaming from a pc is pointless, and to make things simpler you would rather put things on an external usb drive/flash etc. etc. ..... what planet are you from?
Obviously technology is moving too fast ...
google *Torrents* (most will be in divx format .... or get a bit of software that will convert your dvd's to divx
....how gullible some people are.... if you believe someone is going to actually pay that amount of money for a fookin game you will believe anything!
Weirdo
I was thinking along the exact same lines as this poster .... it doesnt really matter how fast your download speed is as long as you have download limits. To hell with paying for a download from MS and then paying extra to my ISP for the priveledge!
Also if MS thinks they can compete with free torrents they are having a laugh. Looking at how popular torrents are, people couldnt give 2 sh!ts about getting HD quality downloads ... just good quality divx wi...
what a let down
If they forced the price of Blu ray discs down to a reasonable price
I'm definitely avoinding Vista if it makes your CAPS lock stick like that
why would you do that?
who wins .... the first one to get there discs out for the same price as i can get dvds will get my cash. I have a ps3, but dont mind getting the 360 add on if it means saving money in the long run!
around 25/30 euros for a film i might only watch once? .... no thanks!
@ No. 1 ... some people believe anything they read
If they thought it wasnt up to the standard they wanted they shouldnt have released it ... simple as that. I took mine back the day after I bought it for a full refund..... This after playing PES itinerations for the last decade. They have a hell of a lot of catching up to do now, especially after FIFA have come up with the best football experience ever! (never thought i'd say that)
Who would you like to see replacing these extremists in the game?
Maybe the yanks?
COD4 is a WAR game .... the scenarios in the game are very realistic in modern day circumstances.
Regardless of who the bad guys are they can not be made out to be nicey nicey, otherwise it wouldnt be a war game, you would be playing out a massacre.
Is that what you want?
EDIT: @1.1 .... now you are generalising, and I think you need to...
Its a file format that is previously unsupported, but the most widely used format around. This is the main file type used for filesharing movies and tv shows. It will mean you can pull them off your pc and put them on a disc or stick to play on your ps3. Or stream over wifi without the need for added software or codecs :)
i bet the movie industry isnt happy about this!
Edit ... 10.1 beat me to it :)
you'll love fifa .... pes was the gaming disappointment of the year as far as im concerned
I only got the 360 version because it was 53 euros, compared to 70 euros for the ps3 ..... bargain!
No problems online what so ever
p.s ... what a game!
and obviously an error .... I believe the offer was suppoosed to be for the controller and not the system.
regarding blaming video games on violent acts. Its is not usually used as a case for the prosecution, but rather a case for the defence. Unfortunately these unscrupulous bastards will do anything to get their clients off, and the media will lap it up graciously.
