A majority of U.S. households now know what a Blu-ray Disc is, while the number of households with a high-definition disc player has crossed the 10 million threshold, a new study shows.
The study, from media research firm Interpret, finds that 60% of U.S. consumers are aware of Blu-ray Disc, "up from zero two years ago, when the format was still in the talking stages," said Jason Kramer, the Santa Monica, Calif.-based firm's chief strategy officer.
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
If you're after a powerful midrange processor for your gaming rig, this AMD Ryzen CPU could be your best bet now that it's 35% off.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
this should certainly help PS3 sales, which is good:) The more people on PSN, the better.
well i say its the far future and will no replace BD for at least 10 years!!
i recall people attacking sony for including BD in ps3, and blaming ken katari(what ever his name, the father of playstation) for making a high price machine, he was right, he knew that blue is the very near future and that the ps3 including it will only help ps3 in the near future in sales!!
MS says that DVD9 is perfect and they dont need something more, then they add HD DVD then they claim that DD is coming in the near future, i say they r not the best company to tell us about which media format we need, only hardware companies can decide about that and the biggest is sony!
we can always trust sony when they make huge bets on something. yes they failed in the past with some formats but also they successful in others, but MS with HD and DD and DVD9 are all failures so far!
... Now they know what to avoid.
HA HA HA HA!
In Europe Disney is pushing Blu-ray and they are saying "Out on Blu-ray and DVD"
