I haven't been excited for a handheld since the GBA was anounced. I didn't expect the DS to be as big as its become and the PSP is doing better than anything thats gone up against Nintendo handheld powerhouse.
So what does the future hold? Will MS throw themselves into the handheld market, will sony release an updated PSP (psp 2?) and how will nintendo out do themselves next time? more innovation or will it be like GBC to GBA type thing?
My friend got all 4 red lights today. no joke. wtf is that suposed to be? Its the first time I've ever seen one break out of my four friends (and me) that have them.laughingman42
it means teh 360 will soon be spreading cancer, no worries if you're lucky my ps3 may cure it before its too late
I played MGS2 and 3 but the entire time had no idea wtf was going on because I missed out on the first. So can someone explain to me wtf is going from start to now?
[QUOTE="MorisUkunRasik"]just because the 360 can't have 1.3 doesn't mean 1.3 hdmi is uselessmjarantilla
a) It's useless to put it on the 360. That's what I meant. b) It gives minimal benefit for everyone else, since the only difference is a BARELY perceptible (if it's perceptible at all) improvement in video quality. Seriously, when people start arguing over 24-bit "True Color" versus 32-bit "Deep Color" spaces, THAT is when you know we've hit the stage of diminishing returns. New HDMI 1.3 capabilities include: Higher speed: • HDMI 1.3 increases its single-link bandwidth from 165MHz (4.95 gigabits per second) to 340 MHz (10.2 Gbps) to support the demands of future high-definition display devices, such as higher resolutions, deep color and high frame rates. In addition, built into the HDMI 1.3 specification is the technical foundation that will let future versions of HDMI reach significantly higher speeds. Deep color: • HDMI 1.3 supports 30-bit, 36-bit and 48-bit (RGB or YCbCr) color depths, up from the 24-bit depths in previous versions of the HDMI specification. • Lets HDTVs and other displays go from millions of colors to billions of colors. • Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors. • Enables increased contrast ratio. • Can represent many times more shades of gray between black and white. At 30-bit pixel depth, four times more shades of gray would be the minimum, and the typical improvement would be eight times or more. Broader color space: • HDMI 1.3 removes virtually all limits on color selection. • Next-generation “xvYCC” color space supports 1.8 times as many colors as existing HDTV signals. • Lets HDTVs display colors more accurately. • Enables displays with more natural and vivid colors. New mini connector: • With small portable devices such as HD camcorders and still cameras demanding seamless connectivity to HDTVs, HDMI 1.3 offers a new, smaller form factor connector option. Lip Sync: • Because consumer electronics devices are using increasingly complex digital signal processing to enhance the clarity and detail of the content, synchronization of video and audio in user devices has become a greater challenge and could potentially require complex end-user adjustments. HDMI 1.3 incorporates an automatic audio/video synching capability that allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically with accuracy. New lossless audio formats: • In addition to HDMI’s current ability to support high-bandwidth uncompressed digital audio and currently available compressed formats (such as Dolby® Digital and DTS), HDMI 1.3 adds additional support for new lossless compressed digital audio formats Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™.
