Woolworths retail chain in the UK have been trialling both Blu-ray & HD-DVD product ranges. Since the PlayStation 3 release Blu-ray movie sales have seen a steady increase, and they are now rolling out Blu-ray movies across all their medium to large stores. However Woolworths will be dropping all HD-DVD lines.
Yet another leak for the ASUS ROG Ally X points towards as much as 8 hours of battery, but how does that compare to the competition?
Honestly, I really like this updated version. But it doesn't solve the biggest flaw that the original had for me: the Z1 Extreme APU. Yes, it's an extremely powerful part, but it is not part of AMD's Adrenalin driver update program, so it's dependent on Asus for driver updates. And unfortunately, Asus doesn't have a stellar record of support for their devices.
Up to 8 hours basically just means the least demanding games. AAA gaming at highest wattage would probably be about 2-3 hours which is good compared to just about 1 hour with the current ally. The OLED Deck can do about 2-3hrs.

il beat you to the ski-lift,
framerate on snowboard kids was shocking, do you remember./?
talking of shocking framerate and kart racers style games,
Sony had a gem on ps3, with 'Modnation Racers' but again, framerate was so terrible, still fun though, indeed, when is drifting sideways not fun, the answer is never. we have not seen enough of that game, technically some people made race tracks/games in dreams and little big planet etc, but its just not the same,!!! grrrrr

Even 10 years after release, Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online's player engagement has risen drastically compared to last year.
awww there it goes. i hate missing out on movies so the sooner this war ends the better. By the time all major electronics manufacturers start making blu ray players lets hope competition amongst themselves can drive prices down. HD-DVD dosent seem to be doing a very good job at driving blu ray prices down anyway. ita alread like 200 bucks cheaper
I've just re-read the story... it's basically a hearsay, but the author wrote it so cleverly that it seems like a news.
Report: wrong type! It should have been posted as a rumor, not news!

Wow. Another one. I was in UK, and Woolies have a lot of stores in the UK. I've heard like 800 stores or something. They're like bloodly everywhere in the UK. They're massive -- so massive that they've even been investigated for monopoly. They're like the Wal-mart of UK.
This is a really, really SEVERE blow to HD-DVD. It's really over for HD-DVD.
it doesnt sound good for HDDVD. I got raped too cause I bought the add-on literally 2 days before you could see the ball landing firmly in the bluray court. Thats what I get for jumping in to new tech. Oh well at least my soon to be bought PS3 will comfort me as I bury my add-on. Queue the violins and sad trumpets.
I think its really just a matter of months now before the writting is on the wall.
BluRay was a good decision for Sony although they may have lost some gamers but they gain some tech junkies and a lot of the movie money. Hd Dvd Should just get out of the game I think. I know its early in the game but with the lost of blockbuster and Woolworths overseas now its only a matter of time
