Best Buy partnering with CinemaNow to stream first-run DVDs to 'all web-connected devices sold' {Engadget HD}
Nov 4th 2009 9:42PM I have had some commercial DVD's for 10 years, watched them 100 times, and they still work the same as day one. Pressed DVD's and BD's are not even close to the same thing as a burnt DVD. The idea that you will only have to buy a DD once(when the studios get the acts together 10 years from now, the record compaines still haven't) is laughable. Once you start buying movies that are stored on their server; they have you by the short and curlies. All it takes is them saying that either your upgrade all your movies to this new server that they are going to for a small fee of $100+, or you will lose your movie collection. I guess those slips of paper will be good to dry your tears with though eh?
IF one of my favorite movies were to ever stop working I would have no trouble going out and replacing it. I WISH some of my older DVD's would quit working so the wife would let me upgrade them to BD ;). However, if it was only on DD, no way I'm buying another copy. It's that simple.
A side note, ppl have been telling me for years that this was CD last year and to move to DL music. CD are still here and will be for sometime. Infact I just picked up Nirvana: Live at Reading DVD+CD($21) and the Foo Fighters Greatest hits CD+DVD combo($18). I want to see you find the 25 tracks on Live at Reading, the Concert that goes with it. Sixteen Foo fighters songs, and all the videos for those songs on DD for $39. At $.99 a song, your already at $41. Then you have to store all of it, yay!! But hey. Each to their own. I think I'm going to go listen to the Buddy Holy greates hits LP.

Nov 3rd 2009 9:19PM It all sounds great, for rentals that is, i will never "buy" a movie like this. Seriously Thomas, are you ready to let Hollywood and Bestbuy sell you a peice of paper that says you have permission to watch this (one)movie whenever you want? Just so you don't have to swich a disc?? Wow, just wow... Not to mention they will still sell you something physically(paper), ontop of which you will still need a web enable player at the T.V. your watching. In most cases this will be a BD player. Again, WOW!! just wow....
Are DVRs actually going to save the network TV model? {Engadget HD}
Nov 2nd 2009 8:19PM IDK about comercials. However, I watch more T.V. now that I can watch the shows when I want. I agree with bobjfs, even when FF you still get the idea of what they are advertising. So in a way I guess I am watching more commercials....

Blu-ray outpacing DVD adoption, will never reach its penetration {Engadget HD}
Oct 6th 2009 11:52PM You are right aaron, I live outside the US so nextflicks streaming isn't avaliable to me, or about 95% of the worlds population. You also can't DL movies or TV shows from Xbox live or the PSN. Hulu dosen't work outside the US, and the major network sites don't either. VUDU- nope not outside the US. People who can really enjoy streaming vids are located in the 20 biggest centers in the US. DLs and streaming have a long way to go. They are great, and I can't wait till the day I can cut my cable off. More $$ for BD ;).

Oct 6th 2009 9:52PM @ aaron. So watching a movie with blocky video, and bad sound is a better experience then seeing it on BD? Sounds like MFM has a new handle.

Kojima Productions 'not ignoring' Trophy requests {Joystiq Playstation}
Aug 8th 2009 12:35AM First, by saying that they are "not ignoring" the e-mails for trophies, is pretty much the same thing as saying that we are working a trophies. Now think about why this statement was made.
To me this next games show is going to be huge for Sony. PS3 Slim? MGS 4 Throphies? GT5 before xmas?.... Aug. 18 is going to be an interesting day.
