Cheap HD DVD Player Heading For The UK

Venturer is already selling its SHD7001 standalone HD-DVD player in the US for around $100 and next month it will go on sale in UK for a so far 'undisclosed' but, apparently 'amazing' price. Think £150-£200 then.

this article is false those players sell for 199 USD not about a 100. Dnt knw whether to approve or not but the article itself is false. http://www.engadget.com/200... The point is the player is coming to the UK so i guess i'll approve

blackmagic5999d ago

I think they may have meant 'for around £100 in the US' especially since it is a UK publication (£100 is approx. $200). Not sure though... Gizmodo is usually pretty good for these things...

Hd-dvd, give up already. It's over.

games4fun5999d ago

Laxe5999d ago

Yeah...like we want HD-DVD over here! Starting to see loads of ads on the tv about movies coming on Blu-Ray HD and DVD's now...wonder where the HD-DVD ads are?

It's good SLI is dead and buried - and my wallet agrees

Kevin writes: "Multi-GPU gaming was one of those things that seemed like a good idea for as long as it lasted. I mean honestly, the idea of a modular approach to graphics upgrades – be that SLI or CrossFire – was brilliant. I repeat, the idea was brilliant."

Im old school... when i hear the term SLI, I immediately think of 3dfx. I still have a pair of 12mb Monster V2's in an old rig. I never tried out the more modern take on SLI or Crossfire for that matter.

I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.

However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.

I remember doing my research at the time 😂 I got 2 GTX 460's, as they in SLI were meant to be better than the 480 at the time. Not all games were optimised at the time, which meant some games meant setting them up for 1 card alone. Never forget the time I came home from night shift, turned on my computer like normal, went and made a cuppa, come back and it was still off. Tried to turn on again, and one of the 460's caught fire... good times.

Why ? For the price of two SLI cards you only get one RqtX card now...

Exactly what I was thinking. When SLI was around an Nvidia flagship card was $700, less than half the price of their current flagship.

The industry model and standards and who's in place to approve/disapprove have changed ^ what Keoken is feeling now is much like the Mobile burst 15 years ago. Expect more to come out of your own finances. Investors are treating games like movies and now (thank$ a lot for involving yourself hollywood) only the big (and money blind) investors get involved, effectively killing a lot of content that would come out with proper non-gate-kept and/or with incentivized funding.

And when you only make a fraction of your games worth on gamepass you suffer

Tacoboto3d ago

Palworld and Manor Lords are so suffering.

RiseNShine2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Sorry but i couldn't care less, Deliver us Mars was as woke game as they come, climate change disaster, all female cast plus only a comic relief indian guy (it takes only 5 minutes into the game for the main female character to say how smart she is compared to the guy), evil white guys, ugly females, then add generic gameplay and puzzles (how many times do you have to cut things with a laser for gods sake), you can't change anything in how the events develop so 0 agency in the story, sub par graphics even while using UE4. So well, go woke go broke, that's how it works.

Miacosa2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

That stinks but with a 68 average critic rating on their games probably made it difficult for people to invest considering there is a bloat of games getting made these days.

ROCKY282d ago

You guys will be back with team strength and funding !
