Exclusive: Gertsmann speaks about K&L review, future
Dec 3rd 2007 8:24AM (Joystiq)The crazy thing is, this could bring about a government inquiry to the whole situation, as it did with radio in the '50's. It could be a huge issue, or it could just be wiped under the rug and forgotten about. I kind of doubt it though, the videogame industry is too large to allow this kind of thing. Watch out IGN! They have to be on the take as well.
AskMen's Top 10 Hottest Women in Tech
Dec 2nd 2007 1:32AM (Joystiq)Most everyone here posting on this blog is a complete dork, (myself included)the women on this article no matter how you pick them are all beautiful. Just be thankful they are gamers. They're all beautiful. There will never be any credibility being a geek. They're just here to help out, and make us think we're ok.
Blu-ray sales dominate HD war in Europe
Nov 29th 2007 9:56AM (Joystiq)"I suppose everyone that buys a PS3 has disposable income as well. Because, my young douschebag friend, they're the only ones buying BR-DVD players. Which might seem like a neato thing to you. To a business, it's not good. Why support a format only one company is making money on? It has happened with all Sony proprietary formats, which are far too numerous to list. History always repeats itself, Sony's arrogance has not changed at all.
Hmmm...Disney and company goes after an elitest group of people who are the only ones that can "afford" to buy something. Or they go for mom's and dad's across the country shopping at the hell that is Wal-Mart? Remember, Disney supported DIVX players as well, they said that was the superior format, as well as the same studios supporting BR-DVD now. Look where DIVX is at now.
BR-DVD is going to be succesful by default due to the PS3, so movies will be made. The studios exclusive to the format will change their minds when they see stand alone sales of the HD-DVD. Also, the companies not making money on your supposed "affordable" (because no one is buying them, apparently no one can "afford" them) players will stop producing and switch to the far less expensive tech and superior tech of HD-DVD where they actually will make money.
It's a matter of common sense, sure your game console will push enough BR's to warrant movies being made. In the end though, it's the stand alones that mean the most, not every movie-maven is a game player and vice-versa. So please drop your elitest attitude and look at the situation without blinders on. BR-DVD will survive due to the PS3, but HD-DVD will win out due to middle America and the rest of the country buying standalone HD-DVD, and you will see an exodus of studios swtiching over in 2008. People underestimate the influence of Wal-Mart, K-Mart's etc...etc...
Sure Bang and Olufsen are fantastic sound systems, I don't see them winning any sales contests...Hmmm a $100 HD player to go with my $500 HDTV is just bought? Or a $1000-$600 HD player to go with my $500 HDTV. Do the math. It's not that difficult. Trust me. It's simple economics. The videogame world does not control the movie world. People also make the assumption that the DVD consortium is going to let HD-DVD fail...again DVD went up against DIVX a supposed "superior" format. We all know how that ended.
