Blu-ray rental availability lagging in Japan {Engadget HD}
Aug 24th 2009 6:53PM I live in Tokyo and have had a PS3 since the Japanese launch. The rental situation for Blu-ray here is not good at all to say the least. At my local shop they actually have Blu-ray but it is a very limited selection. The only positive thing is people are not really renting them so I usually can get the movie I want(of what is there)
There was one copy of Underworld(the latest one) available on Blu-ray and there were like 20 cases of the DVD but they were all be rented out.
Another problem is the price to buy. I bought Quantam of Solace for $19 in America but it is around $40 here. The American versions almost always do not have Japanese subtitles despite the fact they have Chinese, Korean Thai etc. This is clearly on purpose to discourage importing.
I would prefer having the Japanese subtitles for the times I want to watch with my Japanese friends.

Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of December 21st {Joystiq Playstation}
Dec 22nd 2008 9:27AM I have the feeling it will not be very English friendly. I am picking up the 25th and will try to remember to come back to this post.
this is the kind of game that should have downloadable content. but, I am not sure level-5 will invest in it.

Japanese Xbox 360 sales fall back to Earth {Joystiq}
Aug 22nd 2008 11:29AM its not hard to find. I live here. all of those stories are highly exaggerated to create demand perhaps.
Tales came out last week and it is a popular title so it helped push more 360s. Infinite Undiscovery, Last Remnant and Star Ocean 4 should do the same.
Panasonic gives you 100,000 reasons to pick its 1080p plasmas {Engadget HD}
Aug 17th 2008 1:17AM People say that it will take a while to get the Panasonic prod line Pioneer Kuro up to the levels of the Pioneer production line Kuro. but CNET was saying as I said in my last statement that the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U is pretty close to the Pioneer Kuro Plasma. I would love to hear more opinions too!
this is the CNET article:

Aug 17th 2008 12:52AM I think I will buy one too. I hear the 2008 models are close to Kuro blackness levels and and in some ways superior to Kuro.
Sony's stylish 46-inch BRAVIA KDL-46Z4100 LCD HDTV gets reviewed {Engadget HD}
Aug 12th 2008 4:55AM I am thinking of getting a Panasonic 42 or 46 inch plasma but have heard that Sonys Bravia comes close in black levels and image quality in general. But, I guess I should still go for the Panasonic.
