Good for you.
This is why I said you are off base:
Quote from gamespot dude said:An HD-DVD format doesn't force me to buy a whole new player to view movies, or rebuy all the movies I currently own. Blu-ray does.
I said: That doesn't make sense they have HD players and disk.
Mic said: Maybe HD players can read DVD and you don't have to rebuy old movies.
I said: That's probaby what he meant. Except the last part still doesn't make sense as BR players read DVDs.
You said: It will still be the same qaulity as regular DVD.
I said: That applies to both formats. Backwards compatibility just means you only have to rebuy movies you want.
You said: Why would I buy a new player to play DVDs?
You wouldn't. You would buy one if you wanted HD content. HD disc do not play in HD when they are in a normal DVD player. Hence the need for an HD player. If you want the HD content you have to buy an HD or BR player.
Whichever format you choose to support good luck(as I said before I won't be supporting either unless I see something I really want). But to do so you have to buy the format. Simply buying an HDTV does not give you the content contained in either HD or BR disks.

For a new HD format you need an HD TV anyway. Also, I was under the impression an HD-DVD could play at HD quality on a regular DVD player?

Same post for both topics.
So I went to gamestop yesterday to buy some stuff. Out of curiosity I asked the salesdude when they would be expecting pre-orders for the PS3 and Wii. He said that at this time they've been told by both companies that there will be no preodering. He said this is subject to change but for now they are being told not to offer preorders so as to avoid dissapointing customers.

lol for a second there I thought you were going to say "same post for both topics".
Well, if it ends up that no one wants the PS3 pre-orders wouldn't make a difference.

The PS3 will almost definitely sell out its immediate launch stock, just because it's Sony and people are going to buy it. Sure, LESS people will likely eventually end up with the system while it's 500/600$, but there are definitely enough people who want it at launch who will be able to pay for it for their initial stock to sell out.

Right now, we are nearly 10 months with the 360 and I am QUITE compelled to buy one (Dead Rising looks awesome). However, I am fighting that urge to give the PS3 and Wii time to come out.
Good luck Zink, it'll be hell in that line I am sure.

Don't worry guys, I'll put up a huge post 1:00 AM. 
Does anyone wonder about why there are exactly 7 players who can play? Wouldn't 8 make a lot more sense?

It's not really 7 player. Well, there's the ability for it to do that, but if I remember correctly, you can synch up to 7 bluetooth devices to it at once. The controllers also use bluetooth.
And Crimson, the Dead Rising demo available on Live is awesome.

i keep seeing a controller that looks like the dualshock 2 w/ no cord, and the "boomerang" can someone confirm which one is the ps3 controller?
The cordless dualshock is the controller. I would have at least liked to have tried the "batarang/boomerang/bananaphone" to see what it felt like.

yea, i thought that controller looked awesome,looks like it would feel all next-gen, i was looking forward to the boomerang...too bad.

Okay, first off I'd like to say that I'm probably going to mix something up or be very mistaken on something (too many Ds, Vs, Hs, 1080s), so correct me if I'm wrong.
Now...Holy Cripes! $500/600!?!? $60-80 for a GAME!?!? How much are these controllers gonna cost!? Sony...is completely mad.
I wouldn't even spend that much money on a console even if I could afford it (sorry, FF).
I dunno, from what I read about those chip thingies it sounds like they could screw up pretty easy.
Stealing Nintendo's tech and saying it was theirs is unbelievably low. Plus it seemed pretty dang downgraded.
7 controllers? Uhhh...you'd need a really big tv and a lot of money for that anyways.
So this beast can play DVDs, HD DVDs, and do ten-thousand other things that you can already do with some other thing in your household, and not to mention play games.
But, jeez, and here I thought you bought consoles to play videogames.
All in all, this thing is way too expensive for poor little me. Maybe if they made one that could just play games I'd buy it...or if they switched all that fancy stuff and made it double as a barbecue like in that picture way back in the post. Hahaha, And beside, I'll go for cheap, innovating fun over expensive, fancy crap any day. Nintendo Wii RULES!

They didn't really "steal" Nintendo's tech. They basically just put an accelerometer in the controller, like what you would find in Kirby: Tilt N' Tumble. The controller itself knows which way it's being held and how it's being moved, but the console has no idea where you're actually holding the controller, while the Wii does.
And the PS3 plays Blu-Ray movies, not HD DVD. Microsoft is the one pushing HD DVD.

Ah, I see...But like I said I was bound to get something wrong. I was looking at the PS3 and its backwards compatability (I'm still trying to play them later FFs and Kingdom Hearts) but the price just totally beat me down. Hmmm, I still think I'd rather have have it double as a barbecue though.
If you want to play those games why don't you just buy a PS2?
I just feel Sony has run out of steam. Sure, playing a DVD on your PS2 was the shizzy when it first came out, or listening to you ipod on the X-box sounded like a rad idea at first, but they are starting to drift off from what made PS2 so good. Quality games, and a good library. No one is gonna care if they can fit everything unto once cd. I love the feel of using more than one disk to beat the game. Makes me feel like I beat something worthwhile. The distractions with all these non-video game attachments, the price of the system itself, and the Wii60, is gonna make Playstation Fail.
See this is where they fail, they try to find new consumers by adding new gizmos like DVD players, and Blu Ray. While Nintendo and Microsoft, add new game styles, and old school things like Live Arcade and Virtual Console. Sony won't do terrible, in fact they won't do bad either, I just think they're reign in sales will disappear.

Microsoft is adding new game styles?
When I said new game styles, I meant the creation of the Live Arcade. I should have been more specific.
A new 4 minute trailer of MGS4: http://gamevideos.com/video/id/5233
Sony revealed that they will have 27 games playable at TGS.
Capcom
- Devil May Cry 4
Koei
- Fatal Inertia
- Blade Storm: Hundred Years War
- Mahjong Taikai
Konami
- Coded Arms: Assault
Sony
- The Eye of Judgement
- Warhawk
- Gran Turismo-Serie
- Genji
- Everybody's Golf 5
- Formula 1
- Heavenly Sword
- MotorStorm
- Lair
- Resistance Fall of Man
Bandai Namco
- Gundam
- Ridge Racer 7
From Software
- Armored Core 4
Ongakukan
- Railfan
In addition 35 games will appear in video form only. It's also worth noting that the list of playable games only contains 19 titles so more will be announced or shown as "suprises".
Personally I can't wait to see if the rumors about Lair are true. Another look at Heavenly Sword will be cool too.

If I ever have the chance to get a PS3, I will do so only for Assassin's Creed. God **** it I wish it weren't PS3 exclusive, It looks so ****ing awesome.
http://blogs.ign.com/Matt-IGN/
Ironically it's from IGN's Wii editor's blog. You have to scroll past the wii invitation to see it.
Okay guys. You all knew it was coming, but Assassin's Creed is no longer PS3 exclusive. Coming to PS3, 360 and PC the same day. Thought I'd tell all you guys that keep track of exclusives to watch (me).

Tekken 6, VF:5, and FFXIII are still PS3 exclusive though..and those games are more than enough to make me want to get a PS3...oh yes, MGS:4 as well. I cannot simply wait anymore.

LOL, PS3 lost basically its only good launch title.
Assassin's Creed isn't due out till Q1 2007. It wasn't a launch title.

Do you guys think that they might drop the price of the Ps3? I mean, do they actually expect people to buy it when it comes out? I mean it costs 500-600 dollars for pete's sakes! That seems a little too high for the average person and I bet alot of people are gonna wait until the price for that console drops.

PS3 is going to be great, thanks to the titles it has. Its just a pity its launch price is so high, as a result I'm going to have to wait for a massive price drop. But its going to be a hell of a console... when it sits next to my Wii I'll be so close to achieving Nirvana lol.
MGS4, DMC4, FF-XIII, FF-VS XIII, and of course Heavy Rain... I want all those games, and I will have them... when I eventually get a PS3 lol.

Yeah, there's no way i'm getting one at launch. I'm gonna have to wait a while (years) to get mine. Especially since i'm getting a Wii this year.
