As for HD DVD opposite BD "part house" opposite "home appliance house"? "

..Merely the 8:1 stat for the EU that you used, and the fact that it was contradictory to the article you posted saying '4:1 in EU'.

EDIT: nasim

I don't deny that stat! And in my opinon, Bluray is winning the format war overall. All i ask is that you stop posting things like 'Bluray outselling HD DVD 4:1 in EU' without any proof of that particular stat. You have proof of Bluray outselling HD DVD in Japan, its in that picture, and i haven't said that stat is wrong! But please stop posting stuff in the comments section with no proof, or when you say things that are right, people wont believe them.

Also, i'll approve this thread if you remove that wierd ????? bit. The main story of this is that BR is outselling HD DVD in Japan 9:1, you can see that from the pic. i don't think the
"¦ ?9:1???????
HD DVD?BD??????????????"
is needed

Pretty soon the only thing you can buy in Japan is either DVD or Blu-ray. 10 percent of sales means stores won't even hold HD-DVD because they are actually losing money.

RBlaze6045d ago (Edited 6045d ago )

Made up a random stat! i cant see anywhere on your link where it says this 8:1 thing you are saying! not to mention that in the article you wrote for this, you claim 4:1 sales!

EDIT : Well, atleast you have removed the contradictory statement in the article.

soccerluv6045d ago

Stores here in Japan haven't held HD-DVD at all from what I can tell. I have never seen one. Only Blue Ray. And they are usually in the PS3 section.

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."

darthv724d ago

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.

shaenoide4d ago

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

OpenGL4d ago

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