    Doh! Over already...

    http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/01/13/fox-is-giving-away-200-ms-point-codes-for-free/ Fox gave away points, perhaps that?

    HD-DVD is Dead (was: First Signs of Blu-Ray Dominance)

    I know more people that would prefer a bigger disc because they'd rather have a TV season on a single disc, rather than people that want a bigger disc for HiDef or better surround sound. Most folks I know with HDTV's still have basic speakers.

    Mass Effect - "the" Xbox360 title to get

    Though of course, the promised DLC would have made it replayable... I've gotten a lot of use out of Assassins Creed though, so no worries.

    Mass Effect - "the" Xbox360 title to get

    For me, I generally do these games the same way: !) I play the game for a couple hours to get the hang of it, then restart with what I learned to make a character I want to play. 2) I play that character through, focusing on main plot and interesting sideplots that present themselves to me. 3) I...

    Trail of Cthulhu -- interview and commentary

    Quick look around, didn't notice, but is Trail a complete system or do you need to buy a "master rulebook" plus Trail of Cthulhu?

    Dark Messiah - Elements

    I played the Dark Messiah demo and liked it, but I don't recall any real glimpse of leveling system, just controls. It's been a bit since I played it though, so specifics are murky.

    HD-DVD is Dead (was: First Signs of Blu-Ray Dominance)

    It's odd, I always figured the problem would be more of "I want content I can keep" being the primary reason for hard copies. In a discussion on another forum, folks were in favor of a winner (either way), simply so they could only have one player, et cetera. Most of them said they just Netflix...

    Ten things the Cloverfield Monster could be

    Worse, it's godzilla in Shaky Cam.

    HD-DVD is Dead (was: First Signs of Blu-Ray Dominance)

    From the sound of the press release from the HD-DVD guys, they may have broke some contracts there.

    "in 1st Edition...every DM...assumed that Corellon Larethian put out Gruumsh's eye"?

    As a gnome fan, I welcome you to our group and hope you enjoy the view. :)

    Grey's Anatomy: what's the deal?

    It's formulaic for sure, but at least it's relatively fun about it. That may also be part of why it's gotten old, the formula. Sure, I watch Scrubs also, though I've never been a big fan of hospital shows.

    HD-DVD is Dead (was: First Signs of Blu-Ray Dominance)

    Well, they don't make $30 either way, so that's what I mean. There's really no accurate way to predict Digital Delivery and whether it'd be more or less profitable. Neither am I, it's certainly not advertised either way, so that's certainly a failure if so. :)

    HD-DVD is Dead (was: First Signs of Blu-Ray Dominance)

    I assume you mean "digital" not HD... :) I've already had to explain the digital transition to a few of my fellow employee's. (I'm 34, everyone else in my shop is over 50) They all see the cable company saying not to worry, and they've all got cable. Most of the folks that will really be...

    HD-DVD is Dead (was: First Signs of Blu-Ray Dominance)

    Yeah, chalk it up to something else MS really needs to alter. They need a USB connected Hard Drive. (Unless of course you can already use a Mybook or whatever with the 360, then screw me, I'm just out of the loop. :) As for "keep forever", I think it's just a matter of studio's not wanting it...

    HD-DVD is Dead (was: First Signs of Blu-Ray Dominance)

    Definetly, but even if sales increase 400% over the next year, that's what, 10% of the market? Until the HD tv's and such are out there, and people want to pay the money for the stuff, it's gonna be second fiddle. My boss went in to buy DVD's, and accidentelly bought two regular, 1 HD-DVD and 1...

    Grey's Anatomy: what's the deal?

    I watch House, and the stuff with the cop trying to prosecute House really broke the show for me. It was just a bit too ludicrous for me. I still watched, and it's improved since, but the new episodes don't really entertain me as much as the first season did.

    HD-DVD is Dead (was: First Signs of Blu-Ray Dominance)

    The studio's have already been doing digital downloads for the 360, including those publishing on Bluray, so not a huge hurdle. The real hurdle is the fact you're usually renting the properties rather than owning.

    HD-DVD is Dead (was: First Signs of Blu-Ray Dominance)

    My main thing with the HDWar is that I'm not sure how long either format will be around for, given near constant advances in both formats. Sure it's all hypothetical/ developmental stuff, but a lot of it is incompatible with the current players. I'm in no rush to upgrade either way. (Amazon had...

    PC, Xbox 360 or PS3?

    Sorry, my error in saying "you". It slipped in since you've been the main one debating when I said the PS3 does have some problems. Your "single spurious report" comment is close, but different.
