A new article in the Sydney Morning Herald this past weekend, claims Blu-ray is looking like the winner of the next-gen High-Definition disc format war. The article derides the competing HD DVD format, claiming:
""Product delays and lacklustre movie studio support could spell doom for the HD DVD disc format, which is struggling to gain a foothold in the Australian market as rival Blu-ray continues to extend its lead. Not only has the Blu-ray camp managed to secure the exclusive support of five of the eight major movie studios (two of the remaining three studios support both formats), it has also succeeded in being the first to market with stand-alone players, and enjoys wider support from retailers."
EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.
I would’ve focused on the creative.
HD-DVD is going to win because.......
I have a ps3 and all but man.... I've been reading these recent reports that are similar. But I just feel it's still to early to be calling winners
Do you guys know the features HD-DVD has with all its inmovie options? I dont see blu-ray having such features.
Also blu-ray players especially the PS3 doesnt even play a lot of the older and normal CD formats either from what I remember reading.
Also with ALL HD-DVD's they are in VC-1 encoding which is a far superior encoding over MPEG-2 which is on around 90% of blu-ray movies.
Also lastly HD-DVD's are REGION FREE.
As Top Gamer would say "the war is over" ;-)
Ok you dont like Sony hell you dont even have to like Playstation brand or PS3. But then you take it as far as to not like Blu-Ray.lol Its so obvious. Why is it that your typical Playstation Console hater is also your common Blu-Ray format hater. I mean I personally dont favor Xbox360 but I would be a fool to hate windows or anything pro-microsoft. Geez hate is soo infectious. It eventually takes over the brain. Can you imagine so much hate for sony that these people stop buying Bravia,Wega and trinitron TV's or Cybershot Digital Camera's or Home and Car stereos. Hell they will even probably stop using the letter "S" to begin any word. Get over it. Hating is Lame. Blu ray is crushing HD-DVD hate it or love it and when Blu ray takes over. Lets face it even though most of you haters dont want to "It will be smooth sailing for PS3 after that" so yes im rooting for blu-ray. It means my console of choice will get kick arse support and thats something im happy about. Im so glad I dont have to hold on to the pass just so my console doesnt seem obsolite in a couple years. Instead its equipped with "Future Technology". DVD isnt going to make a come back sorry to bust that bubble neither is VGA. VGA is holding grounding but I feel its time is limited. Not to mention I paid 4.99 cents for my HDMI cable on ebay and it works just as good as the 79.99 dollar one. People dont want the public to know. There is no difference in HDMI cable-ing I tested my ebay generic HDMI cable to my friends Monster brand cable he paid $99.99 dollars for plus tax. And we couldnt see a difference running in 1080p.
