In today's economy, no way your going to survive.  Unless, ZOMG MS IS BACKING THEM >.>  Oh wait, no, they want Digital Downloading, moving along...

"it is compatible with all former formats where you can play all existing DVDs and CDs in their new high definition VMD (versatile multilayer disk) DVD player."

Where is the PROOF?  That just doesn't sound logical, at all.



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

why?  If people weren't so inclined to steal there would be no drm to begin with and software prices would be much lower.  I'm not a fan of the issues caused by drm'd content but I am even less of a fan of thieves.

Where is the PROOF?  That just doesn't sound logical, at all.  (With it's space then can use different layers like the New Blu-ray Combos in Japan coming out so that the red laser can read them.)

Why not just support HVD?

I mean...I'd take 3.2TB over 50GB or 100GB any day.

won't work. dvd will still be the standard format all the way until 2010. aside from that, they're a small company that will have to fight against sony in a format war. that's not gonna work.
