They don't. See PS3's don't count as standalone players since the average J6P doesn't use it or know its a Bluray player(about 50%). That's fine. PS3 #'s DO count when it comes to amount of software sales though because BluRay with those large numbers(that include PS3 #'s) are only beating HD by about a 60:40 margin. BUT WAIT, if we don't include the PS3 #'s then the ratio jumps to 80:20(exaggerated ratio since I can't be bothered to do the math) in favor of Bluray. It's all spin. Toshiba wins standalone sales for a recent week so "HD-DVD beating Blu-ray in hardware sales" is true. Year to date HD DVD players are more prolific then BluRay stand alone players. What wasn't mentiond was that HD:BD hardware ratios were something like ~55:45 early in the year (NUMBERS ARE NOT EXACT. Go to AVSforum.com or highdefdigest forums for the numbers game) but they are only leading by about 52:48 now. Make no mistake both sides in this high def war are spewing out alot of FUD. No surprise there. Truth I want Bluray to win because I like the specs and see more potential there AND own a PS3 but I will buy an HD DVD player Dec. 2008 if Universal hasn't released Heroes on Bluray by then. Besides that article was based on what one of Toshiba's VP of marketing is saying. VP of Marketing. Tells you alot right there since she obviously isn't going to put out a press release saying their format isn't doing as well as expected. It's all spin. ALL spin. I'm off to enjoy Surfs Up on Bluray now. It's a great movie.

If Aquarion is hitting N.A. I hope Diamond or somebody else brings the Chogokin toy over. Still pissed that Diamond cancelled their import of that toy a few months back.

Wasn't that SpideyJeruselum aka Blastotoys?

That would be awesome. Maybe they'll show up on that island Sylars on.

You can't get the mainpage? That's strange since it's only html...I think. I don't have access to that part of the site so I'll leave this for Hurin or Mechamaniac.

In other words, "Buy the 60GB version w/EE before it's too late"!

I'm enjoying it so far. No need for the next big bang villain reveal just yet, they're building up to it. All we need to know is that there's a "boogeyman" and someone's out there killing the last generation of "heroes". Adventure stuff is being taken cared of by the Hiro/Kensei story line. The rest of the cast needs to have their characters filled out more, which they're doing, so it seems slow. If they went from fighting one big villain or apocalypse to the next then we'd have the Justice League aka Mutant X and that's not what I tune into Heroes to watch. If that's what you tune into Heroes for then I'd suggest waiting for sweeps week. That'd be when they pull out the big SFX stuff again. Remember Heroes = Drama first, big explosions second.

Fun with GT5/prologue. Which pic is real which is rendered? http://generationdreamteam.free.fr/Quizz.html

And Speilberg just shut down this Japan HD-DVD rumor. http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/Uni...DVD_Rumors/1046 Today, however, in a statement to Blu-ray.com, Spielberg spokesperson Marvin Levy put the rumors to bed. "There are no plans to release these titles on HD DVD," said Levy. "It was a mistake and someone inadvertently put those titles into a presentation." Levy went on to tell Blu-ray.com that Universal would be making a public statement regarding this mistake in the coming days. From Speilbergs site itself. http://www.spielbergfilms.com/dreamworks/1538 October 8, 2007 Universal Japan prematurely touts Spielberg HD-DVD Just a quick note to put a kibosh on some news that circulated online this weekend: An image from a presentation held by Universal Japan has been lighting up the Internet with talk of some major Spielberg films coming to HD-DVD, top-tier titles such as “Jaws,” “E.T.,” “Jurassic Park” and more. Thing is, all of this is news to Amblin/DreamWorks who have a say in the format and issuance of Spielberg’s work on any home video format. Unfortunately, this is the second time in less than six-months that the very anxious HD-DVD group (of which Universal is a very key member when it comes to software content) have prematurely announced Spielberg titles coming to HD-DVD. At this time, there are no official plans to release any Spielberg-directed titles to the HD DVD format, except for tomorrow’s release of “Twilight Zone The Movie” (a feature that includes the short Spielberg film “Kick the Can”). Beyond “Twilight Zone” (that will be released in both HD-DVD and Blu-ray), Spielberg fans have November 13th’s high-def debut of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” to look forward to exclusively on the Blu-ray format. Beyond that, any other talk of Spielberg films on high-def at this time is premature, no matter the source, even Universal.

The HDD guys have been running that story for a few days now. HD-DVD guys are going nuts over it. Blu-Ray guys are saying this is another PR firm screwup like when the HD group originally touted Speilberg movies then retracted them after Speilbergs group refused to endorse those movies. Me, I'm going to wait and see what Speilberg has to say about this latest offering.

He got bitch-slapped by his masters over at Paramount. He's now singing the HD-DVD praises.

Your mileage may vary. I've been running wireless since day 1. No dropped connections ever.

WHAM...trying to pretend they're Aoshima. I've got the original and it looks more movie like to me with the darker and more subdued tones.

PS3 is also a Blu-Ray player. Sony can't undercut their Blu-ray partners by alot or there's going to be trouble. BUT there has been rumbling from the BDA that there's going to be price drops on Blu-Ray players for this X-mas so price drops for the PS3 is possible.

I want Peter to become more like Superboy Prime instead of Superman. He'll develop a taste for the "bad" jobs after this irish job and it'll take everyone, including Sylar, to knock some sense into him.....and then Sylar eats his brains.

I'm busy playing Team Fortress 2 Beta on PC so I won't be using my PS3 for anything but watching movies and folding for awhile.

Some really nice repaints of Leader/Voyager class Prime. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=152939

Ew. That's an Empire Strikes Back theme right there.

Did a new Claire grow out of her cut baby toe?

Your IP # isn't in the ban filter. Your not being filtered from this end. Check with your ISP and see if they're not filtering the MacrossWorld servers on their servers.

That's your routers ip. What's the IP that your ISP gave you?

What's your home network IP?

Yes.

No display case is dustproof unless they're hermetically sealed. That said I'm pretty sure the Yamato should fit into the Detolf. 1/48's fit in fine with space to spare so the Yamato being only slightly longer should fit fine as well.

Yup. I kept expecting Claire to go Booyah! on the head cheerleader but she stayed a good girl this episode. Parkmans finally using his power like he should. Go HRG! Hiro....I'm thinking he's going to be the real Kensei since he knows what he's supposed to do. Peter...eh. No Jessica, D.L. or Sylar? Finally does Nathan sleep around alot?
