This is going to rack up sales just so people can play with this feature. I know I want to try it out, but Blockbuster didn't have any copies left.
Microsoft seems to have been doing pretty well for nearly two years. The last two years have seen some really great titles for the Xbox 360 that I'm glad I didn't have to miss out on. And the future will hold many more, I'm sure.
Now I'm ready for Sony and Nintendo to pick it up and bring on the gaming goodness!
Because as long as they are talking trash about each other they'll keep the good games flowing. Competition is king when it comes to this hobby!
Microsoft isn't the only company out there banking on Internet 2.0. Any company that makes its livelihood with software as a service wants this to happen, including companies like Google.
I have a feeling that at some point Internet 2.0 is going to become a reality.
But it will be soon. Think back 10 years ago when dial-up was king and it was practically impossible to stay hooked up to your ISP long enough to download 20 mb. Today you can do that in seconds. Digital distribution is coming. It is in its infancy now, but you can already download movies to portable devices and watch them on the go.
What you're missing, though, is that studios are actually goint to want digital distribution. And piracy is the reason why. I think that many stud...
Without a doubt.
And most of them were in the arcade. Pumping quarter after quarter into games like Defender, Zaxxon and Qix. Not to mention wasting large quantities of cash on Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat.
The only game on that list that's on my all-time favorite list is Final Fantasy VII. I still play it on my PS3, even though the graphics look like crap on my HDTV. Riddick was good, too.
You should take advantage of it. I started my holiday shopping this weekend, even though I didn't buy a PS3 for anyone.
The more games the better. Bring it!
I remember when games were littered with easter eggs like this. I hope we see more stuff like this in the future.
Numbers may not lie, but statistics do. Neither format is doing all that well compared to DVD.
This is just a bump in the road for Microsoft. They have the billion dollars to burn.
That is a good point. The reframing may have been intentional as the transfer process may have revealed flaws in the source that Disney though best to hide.
Maybe for their next article they should compare coconuts to carburetors. The real comparison should be Live to PSN or the 360's dashboard to the PS3's XMB. There really isn't anything on the 360 that compares to Home.
Yeah, each side is spinning this as hard as they can, yet in the overall DVD market there is about 1% difference in market share between the two. It's almost funny.
This is a nice reminder for someone that may have missed the original article a few days ago. I certainly don't see how it could be considered SPAM.
I think that at the new lower price point Saints Row is a much better value than it was when it released. It's a decent game as long as you aren't expecting the GTA experience.
Makes perfect sense to me. I guess people that can't tell the difference have no concept of context.
I sit back and laugh at these kinds of articles. People like to claim that one format is destroying the other, but the reality for both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD is that neither format is setting the world on fire right now. The overall market penetration is really weak when you consider the actual number of households with DVD players in relatonship to households with HD movie players. Only a handful of HD movies have passed 100,000 in unit sales, which is not all that great when compared to standa...
That's a nice problem for the PSN to have. I'm sure it'll be taken care of soon enough.
