Well I already own a 360 (freaking sweet!) But even if the PS3 drops in price I doubt I will buy it (suck it Sony fan-boys!) In fact I will wait for the rumor that Walmart might have a $100 dollar Blu-ray player during the holidays...

Are you ready to be disciplined?

Blu-Ray gone?

Hey Destin, did you read or find out what the Samsung guy said would replace blu-ray? Course not, because the Samsung exec was talking out of his ass. I read the article today about how Blu-Ray would be replaced by.... lets hear his rational.

"In a chat with British website Pocket-lint, Samsung UK Consumer Electronics Director Andy Griffiths predicted that Blu-ray will be obsolete by 2013. "I think it [Blu-ray] has 5 years left, I certainly wouldn't give it 10," he stated bluntly.

Griffiths didn't go into much detail about his reasoning, but he gave a few hints: "In 2012 we will be in a true HD world. Everything from your television to your camcorder will be offering you pictures in high-definition, and we plan to offer you that HD world from all angles." He went on to say Samsung is betting on organic LED technology, and OLED-based TVs should become mainstream by 2010."

So... Oleds a TV format with no information storage at all will beat out a storage medium??? You have to check your sources man. Because if you take quotes out of context like you did in this Hard News people will think you're full of it. If I said that the internet has about 5 years left, then didn't give my reasoning would you believe me as well?

Jesus, Butthurt much?

Jesus, Butthurt much?

OLEDs

Umm...I think the idea is that OLEDs have a much higher max resolution than today's current 1080p TVs. There have already been demo screens at trade shows with insanely higher resolutions.

Samsung is trying to say that ultra HD (or whatever you want to call it) is the real wave of the future, and Blu-ray simply doesn't hold enough storage.

enought space? you meaning

enought space? you meaning that the 16 layer blue ray disc is not enough?

Dead Space early?!

Now that's something, still, if a game got postponed, like that Bulletproof game, then I have no worries, also, burn that mistake of a game!!! Burn it with fire!!! Still...KI3...damn you Microsoft for buying Rare!!!!
Finally have a Wii and online!

Pfft I see through your ruse Dead Space

I know your going the route of left 4 dead trying to run like hell away from the first party tripple A titles. Left 4 dead was scared of resistance and gow2 while you ran from lbp and fable 2. Can I blame ya, NO. Although you might get fallout 3 shoved squarely up your ass if you drop back any further. Smart marketing decision on EA's front imo.

"SUCK IT, PS3

"SUCK IT, PS3 FANBOYS!"

lmao.

Yaaa!

I'm going to get an Xbox now!

#1,#2,#3,and#4

#4:now I love this.Im saving up for a 360 and its nice to know their helping me out but after what Ive heard from her I dont know if I should buy the arcade version.

so Samsung produces the blue

so Samsung produces the blue ray player for ps3?
Well I think they meant 5 years using it 24/7, but knowing nobody can use it that long, so cut the time in half and that makes 10 years. LOL

Wow... Are you for real? I

Wow... Are you for real? I mean wow.. just.. Wow.. Astonishing

Holy Cow!! KI3!!!!

(Just as exited as i was for Duke Nukem Forever)

Hey,Destin. I just watched a video from your early day at the DL. An it was pretty cool. (Lucky bastard, he got into Screw Attack and i dont >:( )
I know that in the first DL you tried to sound like Darrell Hammond from SNL.
Its was kinda weird from your todays job. :3

"A flat chest is a status symbol"

UUUULLLLLLTTTTTRRRAAAAA!!!!!!

UUUULLLLLLTTTTTRRRAAAAA!!!!!!!

By the way Destin, until I turn on the TV one day, and watch a report that Jack Tretton has raped or murdered your family, there is no need to hate the ps3 so much.

STOP HATEING

PS3 OR DIE

lol it was a joke.

lol it was a joke.

...

wow

Killer Instinct 3?!

Dude, what's this going to be coming out for? I just downloaded the soundtracks to the other 2 games and they have the greatest soundtracks ever! ULTRA COMBO!

Nah...

I live in Japan so I have no need for a 360. I also prefer anything that Microsoft doesn't make.

Changing your tune

All of the Japanese think this way until some good rpgs started coming out for the 360. Now Japan is preparing to order many more. Square-Enix also realized the 360s potential and thus are releasing 3 new rpgs in the nex year, 2 of which are exclusive.

Sony and Nintendo have had a strangle hold for decades but I have a feeling the American market will start to make progress in Japan in the next year or so.

How amusing... is that all you can muster?

Not changing a goddam thing.

Yo, Son. I am not Japanese. I just live and work here. I am from the US. I have never been big on the Xbox or the 360. I just prefer other consoles. I am not saying it is bad, I just don't like it myself.

The only way I would play a 360 is if someone gave it to me. I am not going out and putting an effort into buying it. Just not worth it for me.

You do your thing, let me do mine.

He didn't talk down to you,

He didn't talk down to you, nor did he push any beliefs on you. Perhaps you could return the favors in kind.

I am not big on any SYSTEM, I am big on the games. Perhaps you just don't know what games are out on the 360.

Not the one.

Hey, Ranger guy. I didn't say anything rude to him. Just clearing things up. That last comment was meant for anyone that would try to push any belief around.

All I know is that I don't like Halo and those type of games so I don't have interest in the 360. Like I said, it is not a bad console I just have interest in it.

Stuttering Destin? today? xD

Stuttering Destin? today? xD

LETS GET READY TO

SUCK IT!!!!!!!!

lol I guess Destin is a member of DX.

Suck It

Haha, suck it Sony fan boys. Sadly I am one of the two people without an Xbox 360 but in my defense I really didn't want to buy a Japanese version and simply haven't had the chance to order one from amazon.

Try: play-asia.com You can

Try: play-asia.com

You can get a lot of imports to Japan fairly cheap, and a lot of times games in English are cheaper than the Japanese equivalent on that site. Give it a look.

I don't know about that Samsung thing

I mean, he's British (tee hee), and he's a director of consumer electronics. Not exactly an authority on anything, is he? Everyone knows Blu-Ray won't last forever, but for someone with no real expertise to put a time frame on it... eh, I dunno.

Ahhh...

That's interesting the KI3 story popped today, I just picked up a KI2 arcade unit.

Heh

Dustin you do know that samsung sunk alot of money into digital distribution, and that is their only reasoning for making such a comment, if you're going to report news, do it right. You didn't even read anything on this first did you, you read the first line, and think it's news?

Read a little more if you're going to report it. =)

Yup.

Good point.

agree... if you read more

agree... if you read more carefully it will say that the company thinks that the product won't last long, which is an opinion and not a fact.
Knowing Debrin he likes to spice things up on topics related with consoles :p lol

Um

you did make a valid point but remember he is kind of an amateur and this always bothers me I'm pretty sure it's Destin

Great Show

Hey, just wanted to say that I like Hard News and Screwattack in general! Continue delivering good work!

Price drop

Ah yes, what lovely news.

Now if we could only get one in the UK

Biased much?

What's with hating on Sony so much on this website. It's a GOOD gaming machine!

With..

Yea it is a good gaming machine but just like the Wii, it lacks when it comes to titles. In particular, PS3 has the lowest amount of exclusive titles thus making the system less relevant.

Xbox 360 offers the best online support of the 3 consoles and practically has all of the games the PS3 does.

Just remember, Destin owns a PS3 as well.

actually the problem with wii is

the fact is that wii has to many exclusive titles and with the multi consel titles it has the controles for them suck becuse the games developers get lazy and dont try get it to work as well as it should which results in crappy games thats why i only buy exclusive games that get good rattings but wii also has crappy exclusives to so be carful of those to

Already knew about the Dead

Already knew about the Dead Space thing.
