It is not crap . It means Blu Ray has almost won the war and Christmas sales in NA

Lord Anubis5961d ago

Darn it, I wasn't here in time to approve this one. Well there's always the next month's.

Btw blu-ray continues to dominate.

Shaka2K65961d ago

And red continues to shrink more and more.

PirateThom5961d ago

Notice, even with the highest selling HD Disc, HD-DVD is still way behind in overall sales.

ironwolf5961d ago

Pirates sold about 65% of what Bourne sold for that week.

PirateThom5961d ago

I did... that's what I mean...

The Bourne Ultimatum was the highest seller and even with that, Blu-ray sales were still high enouh that it didn't even matter.

xplosneer5961d ago (Edited 5961d ago )

It has to be over 62% or the year to date and total will decline. FINSIH THE HDDVD SO WE CAN HAVE ALL OUR MOVIES ON ONE FORMAT. THANK YOU.
(Note I prefer BluRay because I have a PS3 but if HDDVD won I couldn't care less. Somebody win already)

It's also funny to see Casino Royale up there with 15% of Bourne's sales.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

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

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

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.

darthv7219h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
