So maybe it won't be just a cheap software only BR player.

Does that just mean it'll be at the top of a list of 2?

No, it doesn't even say that what it says is "One of the best" then continues to say "if not the best".

rotfl that tells me that they just came up with a nice way to say it's the worst ;)

Since we are posting funny pictures about the Blue-Ray debacle, this was posted in the HD Forum PS3 thread.....

OK, guys...even though the whole thing is turning on it's head we need to make sure not to go down this bashing route. We didn't allow funny pics about Xbox or Wii...so we better stop with the BD/PS3 goodness. Sorry :(

Oh, come on. This is far more light hearted than the stuff in the HD forum (surprisingly).

Yes, but the VG forum has always had a much stricter no-tolerance policy - especially around launches. It makes everything go so much smoother.

Let's not add pictures to the thread. But for those looking for funny pics & videos, This visit to a certain site would end your waiting, but take you away from dvdtalk.com. ;)

Great site Flay. Although I must have missed something, what is with the crab reference?

Sony was showing off some game at E3.. and the exact quote was something like this: "The game features actual battles based on historic Japanese wars.. and here's a giant enemy crab." Then something about changing weapons in real time and the giant enemy crab having a weak point as being revolutionary.

You are correct. I just mixed up component and composite.

yeah, what miyu said. It's not that this is out of hand at all, but what we do for one console we have to do for the other. It's better just to hit the site Flay is talking about... www.thisiswaiting.com :)

This would make me happy if it wasn't just trying to be better than the Samsung. It doesn't take much to be better than that.

It goes against everything I believe in to post a link to this site but you HAVE to hear this, I'm in tears from laughing.

Nice!

Seriously though this thread has me bummed everyday because that guy is right. There is never anything new that is in a positive light. It's all bad news. :(

I want to see something good come along about this system. Someone please post a cool video or a screenshot or something. :)

From Assassin's Creed, which is now, what's that? Yes, coming to the Xbox 360.

PixyJunket 09-07-06 05:19 PM

My good news will be a few years down the line.

I'll give you a hint:

"It all began with... birth by sleep."

Stop it. It already pains me enough that by then I'll have no choice.

Supermallet 09-07-06 05:20 PM

Pixy, just out of curiosity, what if they charge $100 for FFXIII and the spin-off game? Will you buy it at launch?

I don't care about FFXIII. :D2:

Supermallet 09-07-06 05:26 PM

Okay, suppose an eventual Kingdom Hearts III is $100.
