So your point is? Technology improves over time? A 2 year old GPU will eventually become obsolete? Nvidia likes to take shots at the competition? Not exactly eye opening thoughts there.

Yes he is. It kinda annoys me when some experts say he's the fourth best player on the court in these games. Which means Ginobli>LeBron, which is crazy to me. I wouldn't even put Parker over LeBron. Though I will say Duncan is better.

Lebron may have have the most talent, but right now Parker, Duncan, and Ginobili are all playing better basketball.

senators just dont have much fans( most were bandwaggoners) and everybody already knows that hockey isnt the main thing in california. habs vs leafs in the eastern conference finals would be a gold mine for the nhl and one hell of a series. bettman is a dumba$$for only expanding in the states. most of the cities he expands too barely watch hockey. (nashville?..and next is las vegas..)

I shook my head when Nashville, Phoenix, and Florida received teams. All have been solid to great teams but where is the support? Get them out of there. Relocate one in Seattle or Portland and two to Canada. I think its cool when there is a Canadain playing an American team. It adds to the juice of the competition and I love that I can cheer against three Canadian teams in the division.

You're all about Kitchener-Waterloo? If they put a team there, shouldn't they use just one name instead of the two in a hyphen?

None of the above?

First of, Killzone had been worked on by Geurillalong before Sony even picked the title up as an exclusive. Also, the Guerilla of today is not the Guerilla of the past.They are now 1st party Sony, and with that comes money and power. Also, the size of the team has more than tripled since KZ: L (which recieved an 8.4, mind you) so 2/3rds of the team are not the "horrible devs" that worked on the first Killzone. Why can't developers change? Even the original Guerilla team just needed experience. Just look at the only three games they released. The first one was glitchy bug fest with little to no story, and it got a 5.4. The second was much better, but still had bugs, and got a 6.9. The third game had almost no bugs at all, great gameplay, and a good story, and got an 8.3. 5.4>6.9>8.3. All they needed was experience.

Also, Sony's 1st party devs are some of the greatest in the world. Polyphony Digital? Team Ico? David Jaffe?Naughty Dog? Gran Turismo? Twisted Metal?God of War? Jak & Daxter? Shadow of the Colossus? All first party.

Sonyalso hasmany 2nd party devs, as well. Last gen they had Insomniac, and this gen they've stolen Factor 5 from Nintendo, and have taken on many others as well, such as Media Molecule and Ninja Theory. To these latter developers, you say theyare "unproven" but what's wrong with that? Sony is the company that takes this most risks in this regard, and they often pay off. Ninja Theory and MM are developing games right now that put their original works to shame, because they now haveactually have money.A budget goes a long way, and the lackthereof can reall hurt a game.Newbie dev studios with little to no support at all are obviously going to make mediocre titles.

Also, I can't believe you're praising MS's 1st/2nd party. They are by far the weakest of the big 3, and employ far less devs and make far less 1st party games than the other 2. Bungie is the only major 1st partydeveloper they employ. Sony actually employs more devs than MS and Nintendo combined.

And I'd argue that MS's 1st/2nd party is as strong as Sony's. Bungie (Halo), FASA (Mechwarrior and Crimson Skies), Ensemble (Age of Empires/Halo Wars), ACES (Flight Simulator/Combat Flight Simulator games), Rare (Perfect Dark and Banjo series), Lionhead (Fable and Black and White) andTurn 10 (Forza), all huge 1st party titles. Plus for 2nd party you get Bizzare Creations (PGR series), Bioware (Mass Effect), Epic (Gears of War), Sillicon Knights (Too Human), Remedy (Alan Wake), Mistwalker (Blue Dragon and Lost Oddesey) Real Time Worlds (Crackdown), Phantagram (Kingdom Under Fire) and others. It may not be as big as Sony or Nintendo, but it is definitely more varied. It just comes down to which games you like more.

And I'm still waiting for an HD-DVD defender to explain how they can win when they have so few titles? You can't live on Warner Bros. and Universal only forever, when Blu-Ray has more than triple the amount of studio exclusives. If exclusives help gaming consoles, they also determine the success of movie formats as well.

Stick a fork in it, HD-DVD is done. The only last-chance save is if they start making hybrid players the new standard. As an HD-DVD owner myself who jumped the gun too early, I am hoping for this. I dont want my Planet Earth and Matrix HD-DVD to be lonely on just one player.

I am one of the rare few who owns the HD-DVd and see no further hope for it. I bought Planet Earth and Matrix as sort of my last hurrah, knowing I dont own an blu-Ray yet so I might as well enjoy a last few movies/docs.
