HD DVD and Blu-ray releases on February 13th, 2007 {Engadget HD}

Feb 12th 2007 10:00PM It says Universal Music Group under the Universal symbol on the BDA site.

Don't know exactly what that means for Universal, but it certainly doesn't discredit their 100% support of HD-DVD on the film studio side of things.

Jan 7th 2007 12:58AM Where's the Metal Gear Solid love?!

Hewlett-Packard making video games? No Printer Tycoon, please... {Joystiq Playstation}

Dec 12th 2006 10:55PM HP doesn't want to get into video game production, they would obviously want to get into the Gaming PC arena (hence, Voodoo), and provide new hardware (probably not home consoles, at least not yet) specifically geared towards the most immersive gaming experience.

It was hard for me to welcome Microsoft when they announced their gaming desires (Blue screen of death, anyone?), but they hired the right people to provide a solid gaming experience.

That's my assumption, anyway.

BenQ uses WTC & 9/11 imagery to sell devices {Engadget}

Dec 1st 2006 6:46PM "belive" is certainly spelled wrong, fake?

Well, in terms of using 9/11 imagery to sell a product, we should also think about World Trade Center as not just a tribute movie, but a means of revenue for the studio(s).

Sony's BDP-S1 has landed, finally! {Engadget}

Nov 29th 2006 12:07AM Yeah, I also noticed they had a whole row of these players in Casino Royale. Because it was a Sony picture, every gadget was Sony-made (laptops, phones, blu-ray players, etc...)

Engadget Black Friday giveaways (part 1): Xbox 360 Premium pack! {Engadget}

Nov 24th 2006 2:32PM This should do while the Engadget Commercial Contest winners wait around for Engadget to get the laptop to them.

Yes, I want a 360. Yes, we're still waiting.

Nov 22nd 2006 12:08AM My newly acquired, 2nd shipment PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system, of course.

(Y)our PS3 impressions, please! {Joystiq Playstation}

Nov 17th 2006 4:32PM So, waaaaaaaaay back when, when EB/Gamestop had their pre-orders, I was good ole' #6. (Even better was the manager began doing pre-orders even before the official event started the morning before, you just had to buy it in some sort of bundle).

I sat comfortable, knowing I would recieve a PS3 on launch day, along with several of my peers. The store was set to recieve 20 systems by this time.

Here's where I get screwed. I had applied to work at that very same EB Games I pre-ordered through. I was then hired on to work for them for part-time. Then the actual number of PS3s they were getting came out.

"We're only getting 8, so you aren't getting one on launch day." (Manager). I could understand corporate policy of 'if an employee acquires a pre-order, they shall be put at the end of the pre-order list to make it fair for the customer." I contested with my manager, a jerk, but even though he 'didn't disagree with me' (it was his decision to do this to me in the first place) he couldn't change anything because he had already called the people who would be getting a PS3 on launch day. Even if I quit, which is the main plan now (not just because I couldn't get a PS3, but the way he handled the situation by not telling me before acting on a stupid call) there was nothing he could do".

Thanks, manager. You suck.

Sony criticizes Microsoft for leaving Core customers out in the cold {Engadget}

Nov 7th 2006 8:58PM BTW, Sony Computer Entertainment has nothing to do with the battery malfunctioning. That is another division.
