Notice how they also mention Blu-Ray and see what techies are saying

Blu-ray / HD DVD - Instead of a single next-gen movie format, the industry gave us two. A bloody war ensued that slowed adoption of both formats. Blu-ray emerged the victor, but as internet HD distribution picks up, it will probably never reach the level of ubiquity that DVD has.


Oh wait, but everyone wants to own a physical copy of their movies/tv shows/etc, right? :p

The motion controls cannot be ignored. MS and Sony are trying get a piece of that pie with their own motion control schemes. That alone changes the way games will be developed, that is huge dude.

It cant be denied that MS has tried to copy Nintendo's casual gaming library. 1 VS 100?  Whole disc collections based on casual gaming. 

 The Wii has gotten many people into gaming that wouldnt normally pick up a controller. Who knows, some of those people might turn out to be hardcore gamers, or at least give more traditional games a try. 

I do agree with your shovelware statement though.  Too many "wii sports clones" flooding the market.

If you want to bring up things as not being innovations, please do not bring up 1 vs 100.  The server infrastructure necessary to handle 200,000 simultaneous(playing the exact same game instance) requests within milliseconds of each other is quite impressive.  What MS is doing with Primetime is something that no one else has done.

Its not about the infastructure, I was pointing out that it was a casual game.  MS is trying to cash in on casuals. After the success of Wii, MS (and to some extent Sony) jumped on the casual game bandwagon. 



  Tifa got MOVES!

i guess MAG is innovative as well than?

MAG is 256 players, 1vs100 is over 200,000 connected at the same time, MAG doesn't sound so good now does it......

no they are not connected whit each other they are in private 4 person rooms that can check the scores of other people

All 200,000 are connected to the same game instance.  No sharding.

So right on. Physical media is pretty much a dinosaur sport in my neck of the woods. Blu -what? Digital is the future, be my guest and waste $200 on a spinning disc player and discs that you have to wait for in the mail. Its pretty much a high definition Victrola (circa 1905) if you ask me. Oh and good luck getting your right to backup without all kinds of hacks. Me I watch dozens of HD movies on whatever devise I want all off one drive. Oh and yes I bought my movies, every SINGLE one.

We can either give the finger to invasive DRM and more BS formats or we can be "consumers". BR and other recent formats are just an excuse to rape us with needless DRM, while the original (DRM-free) files become ever more attractive. HD formats be they HD-DVD Blu-Ray or DVD-A are a fucking joke meant to entrap the average Best Buy shopper- don't be a fool.
