Sony Online Service
I just got through reading the entire press release. From what I took from it is that Sony prob will be charging for their Sony Online Service(name a work in progress). Like taking a picture from a Sony DSLR and having it stored on their servers and read from ALL of Sony's devices. Or the Bravia Tv Link service. Either way I would love to see more.

Btw I have got to give Sony some huge props on their 3D work. That single camera set up will make it so much easier to shoot 3D. With their help they could push 3D like they pushed so much tech before!!! View

Hey ok I just found a great article. It appears that there has been a breakthrough. Well was I guess, which means they are still working on the problem and still my point is valid. People need to buy these lol. I mean c'mon I know the economy is bad globally but there has to be some rich ignorant people out there wanting to just get the most expensive tech just for bragging rights haha or poor people wanting to have the same rights and be broke, like me.

The article states that experimental OLEDs were created which can sustain 400 cd/m² of luminance for over 198,000 hours for green OLEDs and 62,000 hours for blue OLEDs

Which is a major upgrade. The average operating time for LCDs is around 60,000 hours. This brings it equal time to an LCD. However like you said each color has a differing life expectancy. I have made it fair by taking the lowest time, as this would be the time to upgrade because nobody wants a TV lacking in color.

WOW!
I hope this is true! Sony needs to push the market with OLED. They need to, so the price will drop and I can get one! View

why?
Although I am very happy they are going to use this much power and are thinking ahead, like everyone should be, why are Sony AND Nintendo releasing devices of a line within a year of the previous model's release? This is something I have always backed both companies on, for avoiding such situations.... View

So many people had said Sony needed to ditch the UMD drive. Now they have and Sony gets nothing but crap from people! View

Well I don't care what he thinks now, I am judging you're 12 or maybe 13 not by your name but how you act!

You tell us to go and read a book? I think you need to do that before any of us even think of being forced to do so.

You say, "How has Sony or Microsoft tried expanding the market with success before the Wii"

Well I'm sorry to tell you this but the EYE TOY was out way before the Wii and IS the answer to your question. The recent publicity it has gotten is only because of how the Wii has changed the market for casual games.

Sony has released numerous games for the Eye Toy on PS2 and PS3, they have NEVER stopped and started FOR THEMSELVES! The new motion peripheral is actually an old prototype that the Eye Toy team has been working on since the PS2 days.

This is your answer and it only takes one thing buddy

"Wow one product huh? and how much of a success at expanding the gaming population did that do?"

You asked the question and it was answered, why dont you read on how to have a logical conversation with someone, or better yet wait a couple years and take freshman english. That should get you started and bring you up to speed with SOME people in the real world. Just don't stop there like the rest of the education level here on N4G though. View

NO NOT AT ALL!

The reason this article is false is as such,

When GT5P came out one thing was known about BOTH Forza 3 and GT5:

THEY AREN'T DONE YET!!!!!!! The only thing that could have been compared back then(two years ago remember) was, what MIGHT come to be!!!

NOW we are comparing one game(The shown Build of Forza 3), that first of all has had lot more time to polish things up(when talking about comparing to GT5P), to a compiled and UNFINISHED demo FROM 2 YEARS AGO(GT5P)!!!!!!!

GT5P was a demo! I hope people really know that I keep repeating that CUZ IT NEEDS TO BE HEARD!

I wouldnt have even cared if they compared the current state of GT5 with the current state of Forza 3. THEY ARENT DONE!!!!! ITS APPARENT THAT IF BOTH GAMES ARENT ON THE STORE SHELVES, OR HAVENT EVEN GONE GOLD, THAT BOTH DEVS WANT MORE TIME!?!?!?! RIGHT????

TO SOMEONE WITH COMMON SENSE, this is beyond stupid! View

Well i love Windows 7
I think Microsoft had Vista as an unintentional beta basically and to pay off R&D and salaries, well thats what I see it from in my standpoint.

I think something along the lines of the NT to XP. They used the same foundations but improved and fixed the problems.

I am def. one that believes people do need to upgrade every once in awhile (E.G. Digital TV), it stimulates markets and does help programmers and Microsoft too. If there are too many things for one company to support there are delays and product slacking in some areas (this is why console games have taken off, some consumers see this as well)

As it sits right now with just RC1, Windows 7 is pretty stable. I have had very few troubles with it.

The new "Dock" is nice and is very impressive, its useful and has the pretty finesse Microsoft was trying to go with in Vista. The catch is, IT WORKS!!! the memory print is nice and low and for all those who need XP, the XP mode is really nice! a little buggy still, but VERY impressive as well!

Vista to me was alright. Microsoft gouged the price for those upgrading from XP to it, straight forward, it wasn't worth the money.

Windows 7 WILL get my money and I feel very comfortable with it.

I suggest people find a way to get the RC1 and test drive it, I have on three machines (it even runs better than vista on my Mac, its cool to have Mac OS, Windows 7 AND XP all in one) View

honestly
FYI I'm on medicine, i just had back surgery so my sentence structure blows, and I am having trouble getting my point across. Darn Fentanyl! Yea most you all wont care, just I'm OCD about it, I literally keep screaming at the computer cuz what I'm typing isn't making sense in my head.

I think its fair game.

I think we all can agree Kojima is gonna put all of his effort into this game and really try and bring this title to his world of creativity.

My point here being, its not like they are giving to an unknown team. Kojima has plenty of experience and hes not gonna be like Konami and just try and make the most money outta it. Hes going to give Castlevania the proper development, at least I think. Ive been proven wrong before but Hideo doesn't seem corruptible in that sense.

Hopefully that made sense... this honestly took me 30 minutes of frustration to type View

@matpan
well except youre wrong. games arent hitting 30gb of space yet. they need that much data because the speed of a blu ray disc is still slow. they have to layer the same data to compensate for that. if they are finding new tech for old dvd imagine what they can do with the newer blu ray discs.

microsoft for one isnt going to wait till that tech is ready, they have proven they dont like to wait with hddvd. granted they could have learned their lesson, but still.

two there is no evidence showing microsoft even has an interest in this! toshiba worked with sony on the cell but was against them on blu ray. just because a company backs them on one thing does not mean they back each other on everything View

what!
I love his personal battle against jeans?! WHAT! If he had any sense he should be telling people to buy jeans im pretty sure they are an American company, which supports our failing economy! Its people like this who I just cant understand! Then he rags on Steve Jobs and Bill Gates cuz they choose to wear jeans when they announce things! um is this guy just bored??? Without them AMERICA WOULD HAVE NO ECONOMY! Microsoft and Apple are getting product sold, who cares what they are wearing. Maybe GM CEOs should wear jeans when they announce a car and people would buy em, instead they are forced "to prepare for bankruptcy" whatever that means.....

btw: When I say "jeans are an American company" I am talking about Levi Strauss, for those who wanna rag on that sentence structure (even though the entire paragraph suck in the grammar department, just sayin'). View

i can confirm theres something up with the original video from Gamerscyde. there are segments you can tell it is 3D. I just used my 3D glasses from the superbowl and they seemed sufficient. i wouldnt want a whole game of this tho and the switch from regular to 3D blows View
