stereoscopic refers to any 3d produced by 2 images (one for each eye). A VHS could easily be adapted to do it, it's just that nobody wasted the time doing it because DVDs were out already.
3DTVs for the most part use shutter glasses or polarization.

ITS GODZILLAAAAAAAAAAA
"This is embarrassing. When you create a PC game and place it on both consoles like they have, the PS3 performs twice as fast immediately. I've had this happen with 4 games I worked on. "
Which games are those? I can tell you right now, nobody who's worked on any game that's actually licensed for both consoles would ever say such a thing. While it may be true, saying something like that would probably lose you your job or at least land you in a lot of ho...
I think limited editions are starting to get more interesting. They used to be a fancy case with an extra little booklet, which wasn't really worth it. Now they are getting quite cool. If I had a steadier more significant source of income atm, I'd be getting probably ever limited edition I could get my hands on as there are some very cool ones now.
@"You got that reversed: MS's the one who dumped a mountain of cash in HD-DVD's camp to keep that format alive against BR. The reason for which they didn't support was because Sony didn't want to use the menu and security codecs MS were pushing. "
no they didn't. M$ wasn't even part of the DVD forum. Sony was however.

DD is already a reality. Many people download their all their music using DD. Many people now download all their books. A lot of people download games via steam. Many people also download games through XBLA and PSN. Torrenting is more popular than ever. Netflix instant streaming and hulu are both DD. The PSP Go is designed completely around DD.
And M$ is fine with hardware forecasting. Blu-ray didn't win because of the hardware value of it. It won because Sony made a lot ...
I know about the dollar thing, I've used it. Otherwise there has never been this many options.
my football team has the record for most championships won ever.
how did he get all of these to show?
I've used the one month for one dollar thing, but every time I've renewed there's only been like 4 options (1 month, 3 month, 6 month, 12 month).
Maybe they effed up their database? This is the first time I've seen the free month on the XBL marketplace. It's usually just for purchases through the store.
It's slow because we are in a recession.
We just came out of a past where the future looked like anyone could make any game and at least break even. Publishers started investing based on those projections, and then the reality set in that those projections were wrong, so all the money guys tightened their money flow up leading to less risky games and lots of proven sequels.
Once more money starts flowing into the industry, it will get better again.
or cryengine... Ubisoft uses their own highly modified unreal engine too. LucasArts I think uses their own as well.
Yea... turn 10 never should have made a racer, then GT would be able to stagnate forever and it's fans would finally be happy without the features they ever knew existed.
This is exactly what I thought. Has anybody heard what some of the gamestop employees say?
His point stands though. The PS3 can only have 7 wireless peripherals at a time. If each person needs two regardless of what they're using then he's right. I can't think of a game that would require so many players and so many controllers though.
why would it not work? There's a reason they stuck bright glowing balls on the end of the controllers.
Sony only invented Blu-Ray. Toshiba invented the DVD, and Batelle invented the CD.
And cartridges are better than optical read media. There are a bunch of tremendous pros for cartridges that make optical disk media completely inferior. They can read faster, they can store more, they have no moving parts, they're generally completely contained in protective casing, now days they are smaller. The only downside of them is cost.
That's a stupid saying that focuses on technological stagnation. Here's a short list of things we wouldn't have if we never fixed what wasn't broken:
-telephone's with buttons
-cell phones
-High definition media storage formats
-Flat screen televisions
-multi-core CPUs
-Solid State Hard Drives
-digital cameras
the list goes on and on and on.
There's a couple thousand people that saw a live demo of it at TED and they thought it was mind blowing.
And no it wasn't the E3 demo from two years ago.
@"No, all they would need to do is update the firmware to check for the program on ur HDD and disable it."
Well the problem then is all the modchip people would have to do is make their modchip updateable so you just plop it into ur computer and download an update that changes the system name of the program being run to something random.
There's a bunch of things that sony can do to fix it, but now that they have a program that can do it, all th...
