They said there would be one SKU that would cost no more than 399 USD [and came with Bluray and a HDD] and have a worldwide launch in Spring 06... the rest is history...foxhound_foxThat's not a lie. They simply changed their minds. I'm continually amazed at how liberal people's defintion of a lie is here.

[QUOTE="TekkenMaster606"]I love it how people are going overboard about a subject (overall hardware sales) that really only matters towards the end of a platforms life cycle. The TurboGrafx 16 failed in America because about 2 years after it's launch, it just wasn't selling all that well. But from 1989-1991, you could get great games to play and the machine was readily available on the shelves during it's entire lifespan. I was even there at the NYC launch as a kid and it seemed pretty lackluster during that exclusive launch day weeks before the full US launch. Same thing with the 3DO, after the first 2 years, you just knew it was dead...The 3D0 was dead because... bum-bum-bum.. IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE! To say it was expensive is mild. When adjusted for inflation it would almost be $1,100 in today's dollars. It also had no established following. The mindset then wasn't like it was today and video games were still seen by many as toys for kids.
But 4 months in? You people have got to be kidding me.

[QUOTE="emitsu97"]And people wonder why companies are going to such great lengths to protect their property. Stuff like this is what leads to tighter forms of DRM which is what so many people cry about already.joevfxthey will never protect any digital content, tis impossible, there will alwasy be a guy out there that can break it, thast what they live for, its to break codes then brag about it. they only thign they can do with copyrighting is prologn how fast the hacker cracks it, thats it. It's harder for your average joe however and most importantly presents and clear legal barrer to seek financial and punitive recourse for those that do break it.

In time, oh yes, in time.
I agree. I hope it's in 2007 instead of 2008 though. I doubt they can hold out much longer.
[QUOTE="ramey70"]When you're married sometimes your hands are all you got. :)6icks_tea_4hoarby sexually attracted to yourself i mean you think you're hot and want to **** yourself in the ass. that's what being narcissist (sp?) entails, don't you know. i dont know why you used that word, but yeah. You're confusing Narcissus (a figure from greek mythology who was literally sexually attracted to himself) with clinical narcissistic behavior which entails conceipt, vanity, over inflated view of one's opinion, egotism, and elitism.
How many times has this been discussed? Are there even any movies on HD-DVD that aren't on Blu-ray?CyanX73Anything by Universal won't be on Bluray
