MS said that there will be an update so that old games can be resized to play at 1080p and that new games can support real 1080p and Sony said "resizing doesn't make it true 1080p :]". They're backing the wrong disc format for this gen and I think they're finally realising it.

Hey Stevie, I had a thought.
Parts of the gentoo linux distro's code is ripped from the PS3 due to insufficient funds!

Blu-ray stores more information in a single layer than does HD-DVD, the difference being 25 GB for Blu-ray vs. 15 GB on HD-DVD. However, at the moment, Blu-ray can only produce single-layer discs. So the total storage capacity on all Blu-ray discs that have been brought to market thus far is 25 GB. Meanwhile, from the outset HD-DVD has been delivering dual-layer discs that hold a total of 30 GB on a single side of the disc. In addition, HD-DVD can presently encode dual-layer information on both sides of the disc, for a total of 60 GB per disc. Dual-sided encoding has been used so far in HD-DVD "combo" discs to put the HD version of a movie on one side, and the standard def version on the other. But both sides of the disc can be encoded in HD if the space is needed. So as of this writing, HD-DVD is capable of delivering 60 GB of storage on a two-sided disc compared to Blu-ray's 25 GB single-side, single-layer limit.

What makes this funny, to me, is that the founder of Gentoo moved to M$. Still, it was about as witty as a sloth on valium. My whole point was to poke fun of people who are claiming Sony stole everything from everyone else. It was not suppose to be correct, or even factually based.Prod wrote:You people are overthinking it.

I remember someone saying that when Cassettes went out.

Hmm.
1 - 6 ~= 50MB, give or take. (That's a SNES rom, more space is required for porting it to a newer platform)
7 ~= 2GB.
8 ~= 3GB.
9 ~= 3GB.
10 >= 4GB. (Can't remmeber if they are 4GB or 8GB, doesn't really matter.)
10-2 >= 4GB.
11 ~= 10GB.
12 ~= 4GB.
All up about 26GB - that's more then either Bluray or HD-DVD on a single layer. (Although only -just- misses out on Blu-ray, so I'm sure that some compression Bluray could fit it on a single layer.)
All I have to say is - lol. You all bite so easy on the rumour mill. Sony isn't going bankrupt over the PS3. It is virtually impossible for them to release a system that won't earn them money. Far too many people, like my self, have a strong preference for the games created for the PS3. The big name exclusives are good and all, but it's the games like Star Ocean that really win me over.

Something like that is currently playing in HN, gearing up for the PS3 launch.
(Obviously looks far more impressive on a HDTV, the on a pixelated mpg.)

True, plus until the games are released the developers are gonna be changing and tweaking parts of games anyways.

It's not even free, the basic is free, a la Live Silver.
