I would vote for Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast.
Yep. Why let people play for free what you can charge them for again, right?
Wow. I actually chose the Xbox version of Soul Calibur 2 because I liked Spawn.
Me, too. That's my most anticipated game of 2008.
Someone must be 12 or something.
You can't equate the PC and 360 when speaking of storage space on a DVD since you don't install games to your 360. Games have to be decompressed and decoded on the fly with consoles whereas a huge chunk of most games is installed directly to the PC's HDD. That means that theoretically more game content can be shipped on a PC DVD game than a console DVD game.
When I got my 360 back from Microsoft on 12/27 they sent along a free month of Live, but I've been waiting to use it until they have this mess straightened out.
Pitfall!
I'm glad that the people that asked for it are going to get this feature.
I have 13 Blu-ray movies. I still buy standard DVD a lot, though, because the PS3 does such a good job of upscaling DVD.
I found my diamond card the other day. It is expired now, but it was always pretty much a useless perk.
Nah. The Xbox.com forums are probably one of the least reliable forums out there.
I know of companies who still run their main enterprise applications on OS/2.
You don't have to completely download a movie to watch it. It can be streamed just like it is with on-demand movies over cable networks. And the concept of "owning" a movie is a fallacy. You may own the disc, but not what's on it.
Most people can't think beyond movies to see the larger implications of the technology. People still back up critical data to magnetic tape because it is more reliable than optical storage. If Microsoft wanted to use the format for games for a future console that would still be a viable alternative.
With the loss of studio support for movies, HD-DVD needs to be focused on other applications of the technology. It isn't bad technology, but it clearly isn't what studios want. The ...
What I don't get are all of the "what about buying the movie?" arguments. I can't understand how people would think that studios ultimately want you to buy movies. What they really want is for people to pay each time they watch them or buy a more expensive "unlimited use" license, which is really what you are buying when you purchase a DVD. You aren't buying the movie.
I have a feeling that whether the consumer is ready for it or not is not a valid argument. If studios had a mechanism for delivering content in some other fashion than on VHS or DVD they would have done it long ago, because they don't want people to feel like they "own" a movie.
All you really own with a DVD is the ability to watch it whenever you want. Read the disclaimers on the packaging as it makes pretty clear what the studios say your use rights are. They also ...
Digital distribution has been out there for years now. The 360 and PS3 were both using that model on day 1 with downloadable games. Music has been available for download for a few years, too. And movies have been available for download over cable networks for a long time.
He's been talking about it for years because it's been there for years. People just don't see it.
Digital distribution is going on now. Warhawk, anyone? All of those downloadable games on XBL and PSN? iTunes? Digital cable and HD on-demand movies? Digital distribution is here now, not coming. As bandwidth and storage size increases it is only going to get bigger.
Yeah, this is going to be a tough decision for me. I would like to have either of those characters.
