XF is reporting that several retailers have been notified by Microsoft to lower, scratch that, free-fall the price of HD DVD to 50 dollars US within the next seven days. The site suggests this could take advantage of casual or "misinformed" consumers while at the same time liquidating the remaining stock.
You're reading that right. It's not a 50 dollar price cut. It's a price cut to 50 dollars.
The article discusses a claim by an intellectual property (IP) expert that Nintendo likely does not hold patents strong enough to prevent the game developer Pocketpair from creating Palworld, a game that some believe resembles Pokémon. The expert suggests that Nintendo's legal challenges against Palworld could amount to nothing more than corporate bullying, as the patents Nintendo might be relying on are not robust enough to stand up to legal scrutiny. The situation could be seen as an example of a large corporation trying to exert undue influence over a smaller competitor.
Crazy how far they are willing to go over nothing rather than tell Game Freak to get their shit together and sort the quality of the mainline games out.
Personally I'd drop the two game bullshit, make a full on complete game, and take their time making the best game they can without relying on a silly battle gimmick they'll ditch after one game. Gimmicks out of battle is what they should be focusing on, beauty contests, berry making, secret bases, the underground, Seasons, events during day / night and post game content like travelling to a new location or something.
It's straight up bullying with mooney and using the government laws as a tool to do so. They should be fined.
Where does the time go?
Xbox discusses the brand licensing strategies connecting iconic video game franchises with the world’s most diverse fan base.
We asked MS, why are you so amazing and how do you come up with the ideas for creating such titles as Call of Duty and Elder Scrolls?
Toshiba dropped it
MS dropped it
HD-DVD is dead
Now even MS is admitting it.
Move on.
Let us have the party.
Close the chapter.
Get some real news.
I know it's dead and still 50 bucks has me tempted. DANG YOU MS! Great collectors item I guess.
... and than it would maybe still have been alive. Now, it's pretty useless.
Even at that price. Hell, even if it's free, it's costly to own since it consumes space and energy. I should be paid to own that piece of crap.
I can buybett things wth 50 bucks
A video game
A nice dinner
A hooker (not really lol)
Ill take my money elsewhere since no one will invest in HD DVD,
