btw, the sega dreamcast was an amazing console, far beyond its time. Why did it fail? it lacked third party support. I think sega has a lot more say due to actual experience that you make them out to seem.

but sega produces nothing but shit

not in the arcades they dont. Sega pretty much owns the arcade market with atari. They make good games as well for consoles. Take virtua tennis for example, or CRUSH for the psp, everyone loves Crazy Taxi, Virtua Fighter, Some might like the armored core franchise. They have some good titles under their belt, most are the pick up and play fun type that ninty tries to make, and most are found in arcades. They have some good ones on the consoles as well, just not as much.

That article is weird.....
1: If he doesn't like the Wii (If this article is even real) he should leave sega cause Sega is making most of their games for Wii only. (i.e Nights, Sonic/mario olympics)
2. Blue Ray wont last. Look at the official reports by major Blue-Ray makers..... The disks are starting to mold due to a chemical used to make them....

Disk Rot 1

hah, the ultimate major hater is here. Welcome back Major lol.

First off, that engadget article is merely going off an unsubstantial thread found in the AVS forum. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=857067

Thats where the whole thing started. This has happened with DVDs as well in the past. Its not rot persay, but wherever the dvds and in that guys case BR disc, were made, there was a contamination on the coating that is put on the discs.

Again, this has shown up on dvds and now it seems there was a contaminated batch of BR coating. Thats it. Nothing has been really proven except via forum. Before you start jumping around like a loony pointing fingures and preaching the end of the world, how about doing your homework. When the source is proven legit, it is identified, narrowed down and fixed.

Nice try there Major Tom.
No matter how you try to spin it, Blue ray has the support of major hardware manufacturers and media companies. Thats not something you ignore.

I'm qouting a Walmart Exec. on G4TV here:
"Blue-Ray is missing two major industries now: Anime & Porn. They have both gone with the much safer format of HD-DVD."
I know it sounds kinda funny but Porn is what made the VHS beat the Beta....

But things have changed since then. Now most porn is aquired through the internet so that isn't such a big deal as it was then. Most of the movie industry is supporting Blu-ray.

I saw a pron, on DVD, it said "5 HOURS." Now, the first thing i thought was, who watches porn for 5 hours? Then i thought about HD-DVD and i really dont need more then the hour long DVD. People watch scrambled porn so, does quality really matter?

Major Tom · 06-17-2007, 09:45 PM

It also has to do with two facts:
When you go to a porn site they record your IP Address &/or credit card/checking info....
2. You can get stuff that can't be hosted online. 0_o wait what?

GamerCon · 06-17-2007, 09:51 PM

Id like to know what porn cant be online.

Major Tom · 06-17-2007, 09:55 PM

Me too I was just copying what this F.Y.E memo said..... The only thing I can think of is under age porno.....

arcticreaver · 06-17-2007, 10:11 PM

I have a feeling that Nintendo is walking the same line with Sega. Only slower.

Maybe in the next 5 years, I'll see Mario on the next Sony console?

Shiftfallout · 06-17-2007, 10:34 PM

major tom, what makes you think HD-DvD is a safer route? On hd-dvd you have anime and porn, and on Blue ray (which is also dvd but with a diff name) you have movie studios, apple computer, and 180 different hardware/media entertainment companies, plus games. Tell me please which is the safe rout? You cant compare the tech available in the 1980s to the tech available now. Betamax even though successful in the professional arena, failed in the consumer market not just because of porn, but it also was able to have longer video. betamax at first was limited to 1 hour. Blue ray will offer more than HD-DvD, so by that thought process, if you choose to think along those lines, has the upper hand as well.

you dont get out of it that easy. What makes you think HD-DvD is a "safer route"?

well 5 hours would be good so you dont have to watch the same thing over and over again, you could watch something new everytime

No, ive stumbled on that one. Trust me, theres nothing you cant find on the internet.

I would use winamp shoutcast tv and watch porn free, or a P2P thing.
