Asia cnet reports on a red hot topic for HD afficionados:
It's one blow after another for the Toshiba-lead HD-DVD consortium. This time round, it's California-based Digital Playground Inc. turning its back against the red camp. A recent statement released by the pornographic movie studio indicated a possible Blu-ray switch by end 2008. This was revealed in an interview between the company founder and a German website Heise online during the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo 2008.
Among the reasons cited are the Warner coup and higher Digital Playground Blu-ray title sales volume against their equivalent HD-DVD offerings. The latter was said to be attributed to PlayStation3 gaming console's success, though it's still facing resistance from Sony on distributing pornography on Blu-ray, understandably with Walt Disney Pictures onboard. It has since worked around this issue by collaborating with independent Blu-ray disc manufacturers.
The upcoming Xbox Showcase 2024 is going to be important for the future of Xbox consoles and Game Pass, and here's 7 things we want to see.
Perfect Dark would be cool but I’m hoping for Fable. I’m really interested where they’ve taken the game.
Arrowhead Game Studios writes: "Attention Helldivers, Due to technical issues at the launch of HELLDIVERS 2, we allowed the linking requirements for Steam accounts to a PlayStation Network account to be temporarily optional. That grace period will now expire. See details below in this post. Account linking plays a critical role in protecting our players and upholding the values of safety and security provided on PlayStation and PlayStation Studios games."
"protecting our players and upholding the values of safety and security provided on PlayStation and PlayStation Studios games."
So everyone was playing without values and safety? The ... cornerstones of Democracy? 😧
It seems pretty harmless... i mean who doesnt have a PSN account now given how popular the PS4 was, and how many play on both PC & console? I get that there are some PC users who may only play on PC but there are other PC games that require certain accounts in order to play. EA Origin, Ubisoft, MS Bethesda...
There are regions where people have to create PSN accounts in different regions and with different addresses to do this, which is technically against PSN TOS. It's just weird.
I do agree that it has become pretty common, including EA, Ubisoft, and more having similar requirements. But it is still annoying.
Annoying... yeah I understand that. These are the hoops we jump through in order to be entertained.
Values and safety??? When was the last time PSN got hacked???
We all know that this is to inflate PSN user numbers.
Oh no, that thing all online game make you do… clearly the game will be unanimously boycotted.
Norland, a medieval kingdom sim being published by the Manor Lords folks, has been delayed until summer so the devs can add more features.
Sony isn't stopping anyone from putting porn on Blu-Ray. They've even made statements to that effect. Don't know where they got their sources.
