Nobody will buy it because nobody heard of it. Blu-ray and HD-DVD are already out and battling. What makes you think people want another format in the war. It's just too small of a company to win (kinda like Sony and their UMDs and MDs).

many small companies have broke out and become dominate.
and this product actually is established on current DVD production therefor will actually cost near to dvd costs in terms of pressing...ect

So movies in this format will appear at 10-15 dollars instead of the 20-30 for bluray and hd dvd.

WilliamRLBaker6056d ago

disagree because you dont know the first thing about the format and probly didn't even read the article.
as for that you probly dont know a thing about hd dvd or blu ray for that matter.

Just what we need, another one.

When I've heard about this media some place besides the remote corners of the internet then I'll give it a second look.

Read what the article said,

"NME is positioning its new HD VMD format as the most practical and cost-effective solution in the HD market by giving consumers what they have been craving -- an affordable, full HD Player and DVD up-scaler with superior image playback. HD VMD also has a growing list of over 100 blockbuster Hollywood and Bollywood film titles which will come available through its network of distributors in those markets. Players and films will be available in soon to-be-announced mainstream retail outlets across each region, as well as accessible online through Amazon.com, PC Rush.com and NME's e-commerce Web store from mid October".

Now, if the HD-VMD camp is watching Blu-Ray & HD-DVD ripping their throats out and enter the market with "AFFORDABLE" 1080p DVD players (around $190 MSRP) and HD-VMD movies costing the same as DVD9?! Game over for HD-DVD & Blu-Ray. And please don't let Walmart sell this format. Like I said before, it's just business. Taking someone else's idea and making it a little better. U.S. & Japan are not the only innovators on this Earth.

Also there is one on Amazon right now,

The Games Industry Continues To Wonder What Is The Point Of Its Own Existence

While many gaming layoffs are cruel, Tango Gameworks being culled after Hi-Fi Rush doesn't even make sense.

Good read. I think the point is important. Cuz the message it sends is, make a bad game? Well shut you down. Make a good game? We still might shut you down. How the fuck are you supposed to feel any sense of job security under those conditions. The level of core incompetence at play in the upper levels of this industry is staggering. This is common sense shit. You can’t chase trends on a 2 year cycle when games take fucking 6-8 years to make. Just let artists fucking art for gods sake. They don’t understand the basic principle that they’re all haggling for the same slice of fucking pie and the market will not bear it. Find a different fucking pie.
