hehe I'm not trying to start that argument, but I am looking fwd to Mass Effect, regardless of what we call the genre.

And you are right, 360 is the shooter machine, but oh well. There are some fun games, and it is good to have along side other systems.

And yea Darkness is coming to PS3 too.

Which is what i'm buying it for, naturally.

Keeping my fingers crossed that they didn't just port over the 360 version heh.

What is this game about exactly? I don't fully understand it atm.

I remember watching the trailer for this awhile back, the main character gets killed by a mafia group I think and then a demon that had been living in his soul sprouts from his body and keeps him alive to help him take his revenge. That's the gist of it pretty much but I found the trailer really annoying. They decided to make it like a movie preview and it came off as really cheesy to me. Every time the demon spoke while the guy was killing people I half expected it to start spouting out crappy one liners.

Saw this on the format war wiki. For those who hadn't read this like myself, I felt I should share:

In a recent interview with GameSpot, when quizzed on the new LG HD DVD/Blu-ray combo players, Sir Howard Stringer CEO of Sony had this to say: "It's an expensive way of showing Universal discs. The three biggest box-office winners of this year were, in order: Sony, Disney, and Fox. Those are the three Blu-ray players. When you consider that those three successful studios will be delivering last year's successful box office in home video this year, then that's an enormous advantage. The fourth is Warner, and they release in both formats, so it doesn't hurt. If you are going to be buying discs, you are going to be buying an awful lot of Blu-ray discs going forward—if you want Pirates of the Caribbean or James Bond or Da Vinci Code or Spider-Man. Universal is the only one with HD DVD. I don't feel terribly intimidated."

Sony being rather arrogant once again. But as arrogant as he sounds, I would have to agree with him. For those saying the format war is far from over, what do you have to add in regards to this?

I know the porn industry is in heavy support of HD-DVD for whatever reason, and they are not to be discounted by any means.

Guess no one buys DVD or pirates anymore. Ok Sony.

[Mysterio]

He's referring to the direct competition between blue-ray and HD-DVD. The sales of DVD don't matter as they are not HD-DVD's being sold nor are they Blue-Ray. You knew this lol

[SephYuyX]

Perhapse, but I still like to point out that they both suck and DVD is still a good enough choice for the time being.

I agree, I own a PS3 and I have no intention of buying any Blue-Ray's for a long time.


And what game was Blister1 referring to in his post?

Shitty link is 404 lol

I think it's this:

I love those Sony arrogant comments, but a lot of the humor is taken away when it is true. And it is true there.
The only point he fails to mention is that it's all well and good that Blu Ray is owning face in this format war, but still, it is nowhere close to taking over DVD as the default format for movies.
How far off is this still? 2 years minimum?

All Microsoft has to do is flex its monopoly muscles and ship Windows on HD-DVD discs, and suddenly the majority of the world is supporting HD-DVD.
