That's strange, the prices should've just stayed the same. Why local stores would be bumping prices up for movies because games were confirmed $60.00 is beyond me.
|
:doh:
lol, good lord, im still leaving words out. I didn't check the actual blue ray disc prices, I meant the players themselves |
Oh, damn. Must be late over there, eh? I guess they're bumping the prices up to look like far more premium pieces of equipment. Think about it, you don't want to be asking 750-800 for your player which only plays movies against a unit real close in price that does much more.

Houlla! It's getting closer…
Hmm, all I’ve seen so far in 1080p are GT:HD and RR7 (both racing games). You guys that follow all of this very, very closely, have any other games be seen/announced/planned/whispered-about in 1080p? I mean not even an RPG as surfaced in 1080p; normally RPGs can be played with much lower frame rates than other games, so in theory our favourite kind of game is more prone to 1080p… Oh-oh, and those PS3 being shown off on those amazing 46” XBR2 sets in the middle of the walkway in every Bestbuy across America (if you haven’t seen the set in question yet, it’s worth a detour to take a look, there are amazing, and 1080p :)), its great news, IMO it will indeed make a huge impact on the public. I remember when the 360 came out, I rolled in a Bestbuy just to take a look, and I had to LOOK HARD to spot the demo stand, only to find the 360 running on a mini 32” display or was it a 26”? But still it was beautiful nonetheless. On the other hand, talking about what Sony is planning, people are gonna have to take an in-store-DETOUR not to see the PS3… :cool: Double Post: Thinking about that… Thanks for the great info SOLDIER… I think Sony is on to something big… As we all know, people often buys on emotion burst (me included :ashamed:), and looking at the marketing plan, this is exactly what Sony needs to populate America with PS3s, even at high prices, say the guy is looking for entertainment and he gets impressed by a PS3 demo stand, at that point the price doesn’t even matter, since all stores give the products, now we can finance everything. The other day, I was at Futureshop (a Canadian Bestbuy kinda store, with commissioned salesmen though) the other day looking at the 46 XBR2, probably looking “conservatly-amazed”. So after 10 min, I say to the salesman: Merc: Well thanks for your time; I don’t want to take any more of it, since I’m not buying today. :) Salesman: Hmm, well, you can finance it, no interest, it’s a great deal. :D Merc: Well, thanks, but I always buy luxury items, cash. :cool: Salesman: At our special price, it will be about $100/month! :dealer: Merc: Will buy cash.:eyebrow: Salesman: Common, it’s only $100 a month, you’re missing out! :D Merc: :annoyed: Ok, you get the idea, hehe, but imagine that, $100 for a $5K HDTV, you throw in a PS3 and a couple of games in there, and it’s up to about what, $115/month… for the whole system! AND here’s the point, a lot of people who are in video entertainment will be able to find and justify $115/month for a system like that when recently hit by the emotional “wow-effect” of the PS3 demo stand… and in the US, it will be even cheaper… Well of course, that's only my opinion, I might by wrong though, that would certainly not be the first time, heh... All I can say is I can't wait to see what's gonna happen with all of this... |
Some more photos and boxart from the Tokyo Game Show:

I actually like the cases myself. As mentioned before, the inside boxart is a cool idea that Sony has been doing for the psp games and it's really cool.
The only thing is tht the WarHawk cover looks horrible, but perhaps they'll change it before release. If not though, at least you play the game and not the case so I guess it doesn't really matter that much. |
RadiOPM pretty much confirming Oblivion for PS3. It's also strongly rumored that it has a new faction, higher res textures and improved HDR and AA.
Oh, and some guy on the IGN forums claims he's got the magazine (OPM) already, which has Oblivion on the cover. |
Confirmed, baby.

Wow, after seeing White Knight Story, this looks unbelievably underwhelming. Heck, even DMC4 and Motorstorm look much better than that in shots.
|
I've never played the game, but according to GAF the textures are a bit better than the 360 version, which was far uglier.
Always room to polish until November. Selling it at a slightly lower price ($50) would help too. I'm just glad the game delivers in sheer content. |
Oblivion is the most damned addicting game. It really reminds me of Diablo 2 in the sense of battle, but it isn't hack n' slash at all, and actually requires some skill to proceed. The game spreads out in the storyline to such an extent that you feel overwhelmed at first. It is definetly a must-buy if you haven't played it on the PC or Xbox360.
|
Wait a minute. I thought Bethesda already shut down those rumors. Why is it all of a sudden confirmed now? Not that I wouldn't like to believe it (even though I probably won't play it regardless), but this is what, the fourth time it's been brought up?

"Hey I read somewhere that Oblivion is coming to PS3, this true guys?"
"Hmmmm, no! Tee hee" "GIRLISH LAUGH! TIME TO RUN TO THE INTERNET, OBLIVION CONFIRMED!" "No no really, come on, it's not. Come on. Ssh" "Oh damn, but are you even thinking about it?" "We're very busy right now, too busy to think" "BUSY PORTING IT TO PS3? CONFIRMED AGAIN! TO THE INTERNET!" "Naw naw. Naw. Come on now. Come on. Stop that" *Months later* "HAHA, OBLIVION FOR PS3! SURPRISE!" "Oh okay cool" "YEAH BUT.. IT WAS A GOOD SURPRISE RIGHT?" "I suppose" "... YEAH BUT.. COME ON, WE DID OUR BEST TO NOT LEAK THIS..." "Mmm hmm" "FUCK YOU" |

A game with a enemy with a toothy vagina? I'd so hit it.
I remember reading about that game some years ago... What happened with it. Probably went to sleep.... *Badum-tsh* That giant octopus thing looks great though. Warms my Cthulhu addicted heart. |

Yep, it's really true and all! SOLDIER's quote about it above came from 1UP, so yeah! =o

Bethesda press release announcing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the PS3:

The insanely stupid thing is, I'm tempted to buy the game AGAIN. I know, I'm not what one would consider 'normal'...
|
I only got about half way through the one for the 360, but the long load times and the graphical glitches while running outside just got to me. I'll probably rent it for the PS3 to make sure that it's actually better then the 360 one, but if it is better I'll probably pick it up.

HOLY SHIT, ZOE3!
Well, *ahem*, that's what the new PSM3 says on the front cover. Needless to say, I'm floored. I thought ZOE2 would be the end of what was one of the best executions of anime-like mech combat. http://www.psm3mag.com/resources/psm3/cover80.jpg Source |
Not going to go nuts yet. It's a UK magazine, and I hear they aren't very reliable. After the crap with "Oblivion yes/no/yes", I'll wait for a press release or screens from Konami.
|
And if it's Kojima himself? I think that'll be enough then and there, but this is not too far out there. He's expressed interest in reviving the series, Shinkawa has too and they're both making MGS4 their final MGS to work on.
Maybe they can work on this and have it release with a MGS4 demo, seeing as that game won't be out until early to mid 2008. |
Heh, kinda late there, Metal. ZOE3 was confirmed at the end of last year.

Edit: Early screenshots of GT:HD, including interior views. Ferrari has been confirmed to be in the game as well as Gran Turismo 5, along with other undisclosed manufacturers. Polyphony Digital suddenly has a very close relationship to the famed car manufacturer, winning praise from one of their lead designers over their reproduction of their cars in-game. http://smallvillestories.free.fr/images/Afrika/gt6.jpg http://smallvillestories.free.fr/images/Afrika/gt7.jpg http://i10.tinypic.com/33xkht5.jpg http://i10.tinypic.com/29p5c0m.jpg http://i10.tinypic.com/3yy9jcp.jpg http://i10.tinypic.com/40pep87.jpg http://smallvillestories.free.fr/images/Afrika/gt11.jpg http://smallvillestories.free.fr/images/Afrika/gt12.jpg http://smallvillestories.free.fr/images/Afrika/gt10.jpg http://smallvillestories.free.fr/images/Afrika/gt9.jpg |
