Digitimes reports:
"While Toshiba has enjoyed exceptionally booming sales of its HD-A2 HD DVD player in the North America market, Blu-ray Disc (BD) appears to have gained the upper hand in the PC-use drive segment.
[Sony's newest BD burner] BWU-200S features maximum write speeds of 4x for BD-R (recordable, write once) and BD-RE (rewritable)..."
Other vendors, including Pioneer, Philips, and Lite-On, either offering their own BD solutions or planning to in the near future.
"In contrast, Toshiba has not offered PC-use HD DVD burners or drives since it launched a HD DVD drive model in the fourth quarter of 2006, nor have any other members of the HD DVD Group, the sources noted."
Fallout London hasn't exactly had an ideal launch—crashing issues have been reported by players—but overall reaction is still posititve.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is uncanny. This school management sim bears a startling resemblance to Two Point Campus, especially when it comes to planning and decorating rooms. Be sure to add a window and a radiator, along with a plant or rubbish bin. Indeed, certain aspects are almost identical – it’s just like revisiting Two Point Campus, only something is…off. It’s the visual style that leads to the uncanny valley feeling, using a low-poly PlayStation/Saturn aesthetic. An odd choice, considering the 32-bit consoles didn’t have a great amount of management sims. The PS1 did have Theme Hospital though – with Two Point Hospital being Campus’ predecessor, so we guess we can give it a pass on its artistic intent."
I almost bought this yesterday lol. Then I remembered I have 1000 games I need to play and I would probably touch this once.
After being forced under the map with no way to escape, Helldivers 2 was an option added to force respawn so they can get back to action.
Personally I wouldn't have either in my computer for at least another 5 years or in till one saturates the market enough. Enough so that I can burn a disc from home to either bring in to the office or a client's office.
@HarryEtTubMan : I don't care who wins it's just pointless for me to own BD drive or the HDVD equivalent at the moment, when I can't make backups that work on any computer.
^^^^ lol its gonna be Blu Ray bro... what do u think this article is saying. Blu Ray is winning worldwide by alot
HHMM what's new here....yawnz..seriously..Tosh iba issue a recall..!!
You have to admit...it looks pretty nice :P
Imagine how many anime you could fit into one of those Blu ray discs @.@
Am I correct in assuming that 4x BR is roughly 12xDVD in terms on burning speed? I remember reading that somewhere, and logically it should be true. Otherwise it would take forever and a day to burn a whole BR disc.
