This one may come as a no-brainer, but PS3 sales are going to be a "major driver" in the success of Blu-ray. This news comes by way of Mike Vorhaus, Managing Director at Frank N. Magid Associates.
"Based on the large number of consumers that have used their PS2 for playing movies, we believe that many will continue to use their PlayStation 3 for playing DVDs as well and that the Blu-ray device will eventually become a major driver for consumer purchase of the console as the format takes hold."

Playstation writes: "As The Last of Us Part I launches into PlayStation Plus, enjoy TLOU-themed Avatars, PlayStation Gear discounts, and PlayStation Star challenges."
Does this game support cross progression? I still have not beaten the first (I got sidetracked with lots of other games) and Id like to pick up where I left off through this version.
To clarify, I played it on PS3 OG version. Imported that save to my PS4 remaster, imported that one to the PS5 remake. Hope that makes it more clear. ;)
@darth72 Oops sorry, my wife you told me the remake DID NOT support old saves. She said I restarted the game and usually she have a great memory. So sorry, it seems I was wrong about the remake! :(
It has been announced that Ubisoft's Executive Committee and Board of Directors will launch an investigation and review of the company.
Is Ubisoft board going to investigate themselves since they're the ones telling Ubisoft how to do less for more and push MTX over taking longer to make better games w/o them?
Breaking news:
Board investigation concludes wasteful spending on employee compensation packages responsible for financial woes. Live service a net positive for company.
It's amazing how out of touch with gamers they've been for over a decade, and its only gotten worse.
The biggest innovation that I saw in that time was their "indie" arm w titles like Child of Light, and in VR with Eagle Flight and Transference. Loved all 3 of these titles. I want to see more of that side of Ubisoft, the one who takes risks.
Honestly kinda glad all these AAA publishers are finally imploding, they've tainted this industry and took advantage of us too long. Die and don't come back
Ubisoft carries the entire french video games industry though. You don't want them to disappear or so many jobs are gonna be lost
Both can be true, sure i absolutely do not want the honest people just doing their jobs and living their passion to lose that, but im also so tired of the schemes, toxicity, ripoffs, blatant dishonesty, and literal scamming they've done for years while laughing in our face about it! They've gladly even targeted kids in search of their precious "whales". They have no shame, morals, or even basic humanity, their lower employees cant keep being their shield for consequences
That's not reason enough for not letting them fall, at this point they promote non-owned, sometimes dissapearing, buggy, crappy over-expensive AAAA games with generic open world checklist games filled with political agenda. Let them burn i say, they are a perfect example of everything wrong in the industry and they should fall at this point.
Just let them burn, at this point, I don't care if a few developers like Ubisoft don't survive, it's healthier for the industry, although, with everything that's happening, I feel like we might be due for a crash.
Game reviews have been around since the mid-1970s. Play Meter was the first of its kind. During their time, it was mainly coin-operated machines that were covered, as certain arcade games that many of us consider classics such as Space Invaders were popular. Other publications sprang up, such as Arcade Alley in 1979. From then on, gaming journalism was on the rise. Electronic Games Magazine, Famitsu, The Games Machine, Nintendo Power, and others all gave way to gaming journalism’s growing popularity and importance. In the beginning, gaming journalism was about the love of the games, the history of the product, and giving potential consumers genuine insight. The passion was there. The commitment was there. The insight was there. And most importantly, the trust was there.
"I've got a great idea! Let's turn this article about corporate journalism into an attack on gamers!"
They've become nothing more than corporate shills. Rather than speaking truth to power, they're just looking at the latest clickbait no matter how false it is.
The straight up lies are annoying. Then journalists claim that a lie is an opinion. Um... no.
yea its been like this for years and only has gotten worse during covid.
they are sometimes worse than celeb. trash news ha.
"you will NOT believe what the DEV of XYZ said"
or and those are my favourites,
"XYZ game gets REMASTER TREATMENT" and you click on the link and its just a god damn mod ha.
"XYZ Players are saying THIS about the new update!"
And the article is based on a single tweet from someone with an anime profile image
It's going to get even worse because IGN bought out a bunch of their competition this year. So IGN now publishes games, sells games, reviews the games they publish and sell, and controls a large portion of games media. What could go wrong?
The gaming landscape today is full of corporations trying to suck as much money out of us as possible while giving us as little as possible in return that's the biggest problem I see right now and the fact the journos should be the ones calling the gross practices out now suckle at the teat of the publishers to stay in favour and maintain working relationships to avoid being blacklisted for reviews and preview events show their interests do not align with ours.
Hey Chris, not sure if others have already suggested but here’s another idea for N4G, a website trust meter.
There used to be a way to click on the website of an article and downvote or something like that.
It can be like Steam’s rating, all time & recent.
Then the list of journalism website ratings accessible from a subdomain, jowebrat.n4g dot com :)
@victorMaje No, this site user opinions? NO. This is not how it works my Victor. Trust meter??? LOL.
User reviews... this is what you have to look for, because games are made for users... not journalists.
Even if something is review bombed... there has to be a reason, something is wrong and you should hold on with your hard earned money.
Game sites are pushing... what they need to push, or want to push, or both.
Yes always seek out facts, right on Chris.
@SimpleDad
Of course games are made for users. That’s the whole point. I already seek out facts. Check my comment history you’ll see how I always advise to check trusted user reviews & I don’t pre-order.
Some journalism sites however do have user reviews, they’re not all bad journalism, these would raise the trust score of the journalism website, other stories with an agenda or disingenuous reviews could lower it.
Why not have such a tool coming out of N4G? It would be the metacritic of journalism websites, voted by N4G users. That doesn’t mean one should stop from also seeking user reviews.
I rarely play blu-ray movies, or even dvd movies on my PS3. I'd rather save it for games.
Welcome to last year, Mr. Mike Vorhaus!
