Nintendo says 'No E for us' {Nintendo Wii Fanboy}
Sep 14th 2008 8:26AM I don't know but in the end I am sick of all these game shows and conferences coming and going. There needs to a one for industry only and there needs to be one for the fans, period. I go to comic conventions, I go to sci-fi conventions...why cant we have a decent video game conventions to celebrate what we all love?
Blu-ray has 'five years left' says Samsung {Joystiq}
Sep 7th 2008 8:39AM I agree I want physical media to clutter my living room, I like having a physical copy of it. I am not a fan of downloading, music from itunes yes, I don't care about HD sound, the sound quality download produce is good enough for me when it comes to music, i have not bought a CD in ages. But movies are another story, I am not a download whore, I cant stand downloading a movie. I want to go to a store, brows through the movies and buy one, thats half the fun, you might find something you didn't know was out. I don't want to stair a computer screen to pick a movie to down load, I want to go out to a store and buy one. Sadly all you downloaders are wrong, there will still be other physical media formats after Blu-ray but not many more, I think "they" will skip holographic discs because not many of us want another spinning optical format and instead skip right to holographic cards, which you simply slide in like a flash card and has no moving parts....music to my ears! A physical format with NO moving parts and NO downloads, again I say, music to my ears.
MadWorld, indeed: the backlash begins {Nintendo Wii Fanboy}
Aug 13th 2008 3:23PM You know...I really hate these kinds of people. They are really protesting again my birthright of free choice. Nintendo has the right to expand its audience and game selections. I am 25, I love Wii and I want an eclectic gaming selection to choose from, not just the dreaded kiddy titles. And I doubt this game will hinder Nintendo's family image. Manhunt did change anything, except I was ecstatic to hear it was coming on Wii let alone a Nintendo console! Granted the Resident Evil games have satisfied me on Gamecube but I wanted more...and again, that is my right to want more or less or stay the same. No one has the right to tell me what I can or cannot buy, or tell me that this is TOO violent for anyone...yea in YOUR opinion. I agree with the gang at Nintendowiifanboy…I highly doubt Wii will loose its Wii Fit, Wii Sports image. Most of the novice video gamers out there still think Wii Sports as the first image in their mind when they hear the word Wii. Only regular playing gamers will care about these releases. And I can tell you right now….we have all been waiting for these game….and we are going to eat them up.
Poll: Did you purchase an HD DVD player post-format war? {Engadget HD}
Aug 13th 2008 3:08PM Being a tech junkie like all of you, I knew I had to wait until the war ended, and everyday it was killing me. I did not want to invest all that money on a player and movies that would simply fail. I was always keeping up to date with engadget, engadgetHD, and Gizmodo. When the 3 TV's in the house are all over 60 inches with 1080p capability you kind get revolted by the grainy quality of filthy low-tech DVD's....ewww gross. I was kind of hoping Blu-ray would win anyway, and it wasn't long before the war was over. I went out and bought my Blu-ray player (came in my pants at Best Buy) and now I have 60 Blu-ray movies and she is still growing into a big and juicy HD collection..mmmm numie numies.
While we are on the topic of video formats, honestly I would never simply just download a movie, ever, even if the picture were incredible, I love my physical format, which is tangible and not virtual. I hope Blu-ray lasts 20 years, because I would hate to have to buy Holographic Disc's anytime soon. I would like to skip the holographic discs and go straight to holographic cards, no moving parts, nice and neat...just like solid state hard drives...muah..love ya SSD & HVC. In the end I am glad magnetic tape cassettes and discs are dead and optical discs are also going the way of the dodo. Regarding movies, transferring files from a computer I would love nothing more then to only use flash cards and holographic cards. I believe flash cards will simply get more efficient and will not be phased out.
Unless we develop isolinear chips

or optolythic technology

flash and HVC are the way to go for all data transfers and transferable video/audio recordings.
p.s. we can thank Star Trek for most of our advancements in science, technology, and medical science…yea that’s right not Star Wars….but the Trek…bitches.
No duh: Nintendo already working on next console {Nintendo Wii Fanboy}

No duh: Nintendo already working on next console {Nintendo Wii Fanboy}
Jul 30th 2008 11:24AM No doubt, which is why for the next console Nintendo should focus on having a decent size hard drive (especially in this day and age) as well as bringing the graphic capability up to par with the "new" Sony and Microsoft consoles or at least PS3 or 360 visuals. But again that would not matter if the game developers are lazy and make horrible looking games with terrible AI. Bottom line is as long as we have fresh unique games it should all be good. Its not like these issues have never been discussed before. We all know when it comes to new unique innovations Nintendo is always on top and ahead of other companies, however for mundane things like graphics and internal storage (which really aren’t unique but they are nice to have compliment those wonderful innovations) we all know Nintendo is ALWAYS behind a generation on that. So I say again that the Wii was pretty darn innovative, I love it, so I am not expecting much in the way of innovation from Nintendo's next console but I would like to see the internal storage issues dealt with and I would like to see superior graphics (because that could never hurt.)

Stargate-themed home theater saves you a trip to space {Engadget HD}
Jun 19th 2008 10:28AM I would rather have a real star gate and a Star Trek themed home theatre, every trek theatre has been way cooler. I still have not seen a Star Wars home theatre.
@ Jake Tobak no it does look cool
@ Anonymoos lol you are clueless it might be nerdy but the plain fact of the amount of money spent will get you laid. The point is the person who did this has money, and money ALWAYS gets you laid, be it a star trek, star wars, or indiana jones themed movie theatre, the fact you even have one in your home will get you laid, trust me lol.

Toshiba remains stubborn, looks to DVD upscaling while brushing Blu-ray off {Engadget}
Jun 19th 2008 10:15AM Bottom line, DVD up scaling looks like shit, pardon my French. I have been buying movies I do not own yet on Blu-ray and very slowly I will be replacing my DVD collection. But with regards to up scaling, it is not comparable to HD visuals, up scaling is fuzzy, pixilated and far from smooth and crisp, I have no idea what Toshiba is thinking. Besides it not just Toshiba's fault we have another bloody F-ing spinning format when we should have just gone to some form of solid state be it flash or HVC. I better not see HVD after blu-ray, I better not!
