To be honest this really does seem like a great deal for those who have and HDDVD player, if I had purchased one I would be buying a lot of this HD movies. Hopefully it wont be to far before we start getting some better prices on BD once it starts to replace DVD more.

The reason blu ray and hddvd was developed was to create a movie product and format they could charge more for since dvd's started hitting $10 bins. There was an article a few years back that discussed the devalued dvd and the fact that the cash cow had turned into hamburger. I think $30 will be the average for a year or two.

Joey Gladstone5892d ago

to think of the prices that they had everyone paying per HD-DVD disc prior to their downfall, they retailed upwards of $30, $40, and $50, and now its down to $10.......sometimes it honestly makes me think twice about the current $60 price tag attached to games and movies, and how much profit per disc they are making off of me...

Percent to publisher, percent to developer, percent to advertisment, percent to designer, percent to box and disc, etc

There was a graph about this somewhere but IDK where right now.

I bought my HD DVD demo movies for only $24 bucks.
I got Planet Earth for only $59.
I'll probably give away the PE since it's not a combo disc.
So my next HD DVD customer will get a free PE set.

KILLERAPP5892d ago

Yep you are is time for go to join the blue.

Bubble Buddy5891d ago

, You should be the only HD-DVD that stays :D

heyheyhey5892d ago

LOL

this deal is pretty sweet for people with a HD-DVD player

season0075892d ago

these discs won't even worth a penny by then....
i doubt the next gen physical format is still going to support HD DVD...

ITR5891d ago

If it's like Laser Disc the price might actually go up. (for certain movies)
Some people collect weird/rare formatted movies.

I still want Star Wars on laser disc and on beta.
The beta copies go from anywhere from $20-100 bucks depending on condition.

A true collector will buy it on every format.

Take a look at beta-max, still selling for way more then a penny http://search-completed.eba...

We don't want another RTX 4080, but this lesser-known brand is releasing one anyway

Even though the Super is out, this Chinese brand is releasing a base RTX 4080 - and it comes with AIO liquid cooling and a striking design.

70 percent of devs unsure of live-service games sustainability

With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.

It was worrisome to begin with.

It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.

Cacabunga21h ago

I like the sound of that!! I will for sure never support these gaas games.
Sony must be shocked at gamer's reaction, making them cancel a few of these and hopefully go back to the good heavy hitters they had us used to..
now bring on that PSPro reveal and show us some SP 1st party awesomeness.

CrimsonWing691d 17h ago

What’s to be unsure of!? Look at the ratio of success to failure!

DarXyde1d ago

It's pretty ridiculous.

Imagine having a breadth of data at your disposal to see the statistically low success rate of these games, only to be laser focused on the exceptional case studies.

shinoff21831d 16h ago

Yes. Stop all the live service bs.

jznrpg1d 16h ago

Only a few will catch on. You need a perfect storm to be successful in GaaS and a bit of luck on top of that. But a potential cash cow will keep them trying and some will go out of business because of it.

MIDGETonSTILTS171d 15h ago

Helldivers 2 manages just fine…

Keep production costs low… don’t just make custscenes until the mechanics and enemies are perfected first.

Make so much content that you can drip extra content for years, and the game already feels complete without them.

Most importantly: make weapons, enemies, levels, and mechanics that will stand the test of 1000 hours. This might require more devs embracing procedurally generated leveled, which I think separates Helldivers 2 from Destiny’s repetitiveness.
