Why? The MPAA wants to kill DVD so it can move to BluRay's DRM.
And, it doesnt want to sell a DVD & HD version on the same disc, it wants to sell both copies. One at $20 (dvd) the other at $30.
HD-DVD is the user's choice.
BR is the MPAA's choice.
My favorite map & match is Big Team Battle on Sandtrap.
"MS has to do this. Because they have no talent so they have to acquire it "
More Doctors (not medical doctors, but individuals with doctoral degrees) work for Microsoft than any other entity on the planet.
In short, STFU.
Thats got a crazy kawai nature doesnt it... have to give it a try (like I do for all the Xbox LIVE Arcade title, try the demo, buy if its fun... gets expensive with so much great quality on XBLA).
What game is that guy playing?
or, put another way: How could i POSSIBLY miss these features? Someone have a howto or walkthrough for this?
Or, yet another reason Mass Effect rocks.
"The NA market is roughly 36% of the world wide market. "
Care to provide some evidence for your BS?
"When you align the ps3 and 360 launches, the ps3 has outsold the 360 in the relative time period, as of now."
No. The Xbox 360 outsold PS3 in 2007.
"Whats it matter anyway, ps3 has been outselling 360 globally for quite a while now."
WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT? This is totally inaccurate. Care to provide a link to support that? A link that is *NOT* vgchartz or consolewarz or N4G-sony-fanboy-central?

You PS3 fans just make me giggle:
Low PS3 reviews: "oh, MS buys reviews"
Sony CAUGHT trying to buy reviews: "oh, everyone does it"
Developers say PS3 is a bad design for game programming: "Developers are lazy"
And now:
Analyst says Pubs/Devs worried about low install base: "oh, the analysts are stupid"

"However, the peculiar and illogical subject is the lack of exclusives really selling that well on the platform. Whereas something like Assassin's Creed and COD4, who've actually sold more in some regions e.g. Europe than on the Xbox 360,"
You just keep talking out your arse dont you?

Toshiba, NEC and Sharp arent finished yet. This Sony-fan-site might have invented their preferred reality, but here, in the REAL WORLD, the jig isnt up yet.
We'll see... personally, I think Digital Download FTW.
Boo-hoo says the Sony fan.
Uwe Boll sucks.
That is all.

These are the same people who scream about DRM.
And you know what? The MPAA have chosen BR because of one reason: DRM.
Anyeone who buys into the MPAA's *preferred* format is daft. If the MPAA wants it.. ask yourself WHY?
BR is a Fair Use nightmare, and this forum blinding applauds it. Amazing.
You say "Fire Sale", I say "winning marketshare" - perhaps the MPAA will repsond to HD-DVD movie sales that result from increased install-base?
NAhhhhHHH! This is N4G -- anything that might be anti-MS / Xbox 360 is assumed truth.
"Vista has become a nightmare for the video game industry. I'm tired of all the complaints...about how a game we released years before Vista is now not compatible with Vista. "
And here we have the problem dont we. One of ignorance. A new OS cannot gaurantee backwards compatibility for every piece of software. Microsoft has *always* provided backwards compatibiltiy vastly superior to its competitors -- arguably to a fault IMHO.
But, if you're truely ...
I wouldnt write-out HD-DVD just yet. It has 85% of the computer market, its going to stick around a long while.
There are more HD-DVD drives (not stand-alone (including the PS3) mind you) in existence than their are BR.
Further, who cares about HD-DVD *or* BR movies? The world is *DIGITAL DOWNLOAD*. There will not be another widespread format.

How do you guys come up with this junk?
That is your *opinion*. Its a fine opinion, we can discuss it if you'd like. But saying "oh, clearly..." is s.t.u.p.i.d. CLEARLY the Xbox 360 is still firmly in the drivers seat. Vastly greater install base. EVERY cross-platform title *STILL* sells better on Xbox 360.
And, MS hasnt said *S...

Wow. You're very persuasive....
