  1. I thought is was a 5 GB difference between the 2 format and they can use the same production line as regular DVDs.

    I also hear the studios backing Blu-Ray want to go even further and equip every player with an Internet connection, so they can remotely be disabled if you've been tinkering with your player

    Do you feel comfortable saying that you're a sci-fi fan? Or a fan or martial arts movies? I feel comfortable calling myself a gamer, even though I can't stand DDR.

    If you do consider yourself a fan of martial arts movies, at least (I assume) you're not using Chinese in daily conversation, or planning any trips to Xiaolin temple.

    Yes, I feel comfortable being an anime fan, sci-fi fan, and martial arts fan. like you I consider myself as a gamer too, but I hate MMO (that's another subject matter).

    I don't use Chinese in my daily conversations, however I do use Japanese as I talk with my friends and penpals in Japan. I do plan on visiting one of those temples if I get a chance to visit China.

    I do understand about the association with hardcore fan, but it's like any other hobbies out there, like sports, you get the crazed fan that would beat you up casue you cheer for the other team.

    I just don't let it bother me and just flow with it.

  3. I don’t get this thread too :blink: :: I know this is a bit off topic, but I’m trying to understand :huh: ::

    Let say I really enjoyed Starwars, Star Gate TV series, FireFly, Blade Runner, and can’t wait for the Serenity movie, but I hated Star Trek Enterprise, Sea quest, FarScape, Hitch Hiker to the Galaxy (the movie)…..does that mean I’m not a Sci-fi fan?

    Or

    If I enjoyed Hero, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, House of Flying Daggers, Blood Sport, all the Bruce Lee films (especially fist of fury) and I hated the Karate kid, Mark for Death, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter Movie (the one with Van Danm)…does that mean I’m not a martial arts movie fan either?

    And yes, my majority of entertainments I watch are anime, Sci-fi, and martial art films

  4. Wait a second, I thought that's what Sony's been doing :blink: ;;

    It's kinda like MS talking about releasing the next HALO on the same day the PS3 ships. They're spending so much time trying to piss in eveyrone else's cereal that they're not thinking enough about their own market (and will probably suffer greatly for it).

  5. from magic box:

There will be around 21 launch titles, including Amped 3, Call of Duty 2, Condemned, Dead or Alive 4, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Final Fantasy XI, Full Auto, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, Gun, Kameo: Elements of Power, Madden NFL 06, NBA 2K6, NHL 2K6, The Outfit, Perfect Dark LE, Project Gotham Racing 3, Quake 4, Ridge Racer 6, Saints Row, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland and Top Spin 2.

    I'll probably get Dead or Alive 4, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, Gun, and Kameo: Elements of Power :D

  6. you can use the Blue Tooth GPS reciever with the Axim. That's what I use. works great! If u plan to do alot of presentation, this has a VGA out so u can hook it up to a projector or a monitor with a specail adapter

  7. What kind of OS do u use? Mac or Windows? If you use windows, I recommend the Axim X50v. It has lots of options and can play Divx at full screen at full speed. If u r able to go to F&S, I can show you mine.

    The unit has

    Axim X50v, Intel® 624MHz, 128MB ROM 64MB SDRAM, VGA 802.11b, BT, 2 slots one for SD and CF. The only bad thing about this is battery life. It last abour 2.5 hours if you watch continuous movies, if you just use daily use (checking emails. schedules, writing a doc), it will last longer about 4-5 hours. I recommend getting a secondary battery. For its price you get more bang for the buck

  8. My bet is on the power supply! This happened to me and I thought it was the motherboard. I spent $250 (on a new motherboard and CPU) to find out it was the power supply :(

    How would I test a faulty power supply though?  Plug stuff in to see if it breaks?  :p

    Yes, actually. If you have a known good system that fails to oot when connected to teh tester power supply, it means the PSU is likely bad.

  9. WOW! I like seeing our Tax money at work here :blink: I would think there are more serious issue than this for our goverment to spend time on :blink:

  10. LOL! This is so funny! It's ok to kill, blow people's head off and run people over with cars (something that you don't want the kids to do in real life), but having natural sex (something that the kids will eventualy do) is a big No, No? ...Things that make you say "hmm..." :p

    I think the real reason for this is, all the haters of the game (the ones that wanted to pull the game off the shelf in the first place for its violence) final has the ammo to do something about it.

  11. Even the guy behind the Resident Evil dissed Sony...can you blamed the guy :p

    Capcom's Biohazard producer Mikami has made some strong criticisms toward Sony, Square and general customers in a recent radio program interview in Japan.

    1. He mentioned that Sony makes their consoles easy to break to increase their installed base. He said the PS2 is selling so well because many people are buying a second one for replacement.

    2. He said he has bought two sets of PlayStation and PlayStation 2 in the past, because the CD lens wore out quickly. When he played Super Robot Taisen on PS, it took one minute to load up each battle, he was so pissed off that he had to get a new PlayStation to play the game.

    3. Other than PlayStation, he mentioned the current PC systems, walkman and Docomo cellphones are also easy to break, he said manufacturers purposely make the systems easier to break, so that customers would have to purchase a new one every one or two years. He said that how come no customers have complained about it? It's almost like cheating and committing a crime.... (the radio DJ interrupted the conversation and tried to switch to another topic.)

    4. When asked "Do you think the customers are foolish?", he replied "Yes". He expressed that Square's Kingdom Hearts is selling so well because of "Aura Purchase", i.e. people buy this game because his/her friends are playing the same game, or really liked the game; despite whether he/she likes the game or not. He said that Kingdom Hearts does not deserve the 780,000+ unit sales, it doesn't worth the 6800 yen price tag.

    5. At last he said "Square please forgive me", because he was so upset that Kingdom Hearts has sold a whole lot more than Biohazard on GameCube (both games released at around the same time), he thinks Biohazard is a much better quality game, although Kingdom Hearts is not a bad game either.

  12. I'm actually on my forth PS2, damn freaking drive keep on dying on me (and no, I did not mod the PS2 or play it 24/7). That's Sony quality for ya

    I still say it's too early to judge something that's not even out yet @_@;;

    I just hope someone kick Sony in the b@lls, so all 3 system will have a fair chance of getting good developers. I plan to pick up all 3 system, so in the end I win :p
