Coat the face in dipping rubber. Or the US alternatives from Naki:

English subs in the US.

I just updated to 2.5 with Exit. What kind of "exploit" do you mean?

Ah then screw it...I'm updating it now.

Same thing Dead or Alive players do. On an interesting note..I bought a PSP yesterday, and the firmware was 1.52....this was a new shipment from Gamestop...what were the serial number ranges for the PSP's with the older firmware. I found it odd because another PSP from the same case had 2.00 on it. I was debating not updating it since I know some people want this version for homebrew and stuff but on the other hand....I can't play any of the games I bought if I don't update it.

Let's not forget that the Xbox 1 used an off-the-shelf Pentium III, and ran on Microsoft's on Direct X software. And what's the ratio of backwards compatible to not backwards compatible there? Bottom line, I wouldn't count on backwards compatibility as a selling point for the PS3. 401555[/snapback] Time will tell.

You're right, they aren't...Acid is an "Alternate" storyline from the main "Solid" games.

Solid Snake was born in 1972... MGS= 2005 :Snake is 33 years old MGS 2= 2009 :Snake is 37 years old MGS 4= 2015 :Snake is 43 years old (Confirmed by Kojima at E3 '06)....so he's aging rapidly as a result of the cloning and or FOXDIE.

Then why are you in this thread?

He wasn't holding an M9 in his mouth (it was not a Beretta...looked like a 1911 clone)...and the trailer mentions his asking Naomi how long he has to go...it is most likely FoxDie taking ahold of him.

Nah....it's not really important.

There is an interesting tidbit of news regarding the Hi Def discs studios release and the infamous ICT flag...since the announcement of the HDMI-less "core" PS3 and the add on HD DVD for 360 being HDMI-less as well...the studios are suddenly thinking that they really shouldn't turn on the ICT flag at all (light bulb went off in some execs heads).

I thought this thread was a cry for neutering pets.

Both HD DVD and Blu-ray discs are 1080p...the first Toshiba HD DVD Players cannot output 1080p though future players will...all BD players will output 1080p from the get go.

Wii And Reggie thinks Nintendo has an un-deserved rep of being the "kiddie" system. Name aside, it will be an interesting take on the market.

The show is supposed to be a drama first set in a sci fi setting. This was always the intent.

Loved that film.

Because there was no mass marketability. The average consumer can't tell the diffrence between an audio CD and a low-bitrate MP3, much less an audio CD and something better. Mainstream is going the other direction. Download services like iTunes are the future of mass-market music. 392932[/snapback] Ummm...why are you telling me which way the music direction went? Because it seemed as if you were calling my analogy flawed? Neither was available until well after MP3 became a common buzzword. MP3 started becoming popular around '95. Napster came out in '99, the same year as SACD. DVDAudio was 2000. Admittedly iTunes wasn't yet relevant, but MP3 was. Because they aren't told to. EVEYRONE hypes their superior picture yakyak blahblah. Sound is ignored, and people think "cd-quality" is the best there is. Which is all irrelevant to my point. Which was that there is an established precident for AV-phile-specific media. 2 diffrent technologies there. HDTV VS NTSC is probably what you're looking for. And how long has that transition been taking, anyways? It's only happening at all because the FCC and Congress say it HAS to happen. Joe Average says that his TV is good enough and his 50$ DVD player is just like the movies. It takes a side-by-side comparison to stand a chance of convincing him otherwise.` 393166[/snapback] um k

Interesting...well not really. But A for effort...wait, no not really either. Maybe if you're drunk it might seem cool.

Yes I think I know that; those 2 were mentioned specifically because they were not marketed... nothing else...both were available before most people even heard of an MP3 and many moons before iTunes took off. They didn't bomb out because of it...they were never even planned as a mass market splash either. They wouldn't have took over even if iTunes and iPods were a bust. People were never looking for better music quality...there is always someone looking for "better video" even if they don't even actually get it but think they did...if they weren't, Monster Cable would have busted (millions of suckers there), High Def TV's would never have started to replace tubes, and we'd still be using RF/Antenna hookups for game consoles. You will see people downloading video but not like they do music. BD's marketing campaign will shove it down people's throats and is trojan horsed in the PS3. Which is about the way to sell people on a new format they don't understand. Studios are already cutting way back on quantity of DVD's since the market is dropping out slowly..they do plan on replacing it with the hi def discs...mass video downloading in the capacity people would be expecting (for playback on something larger than a 2-3" screen) won't happen for quite awhile (though there are plans along those lines too).

HD DVD was "launched" on 3-28 (delayed from Nov/Dec 2005) with Toshiba's 2 players and 3 titles. Blu-ray's launch still is summer with May 23rd being the date the first titles are released, with Samsung's player probably making it to market first followed by Sony, Pioneer, and Panasonic players. HD DVD's biggest advantage was the 6 month window to themselves...which has shortened to about a month. You choices are a Toshiba or a Toshiba. Or an RCA which is a re-badged Toshiba. And Sony does understand that the average consumer won't upgrade their DVD players just yet...this is why BD is in PS3. People willl get Blu-ray with their system and are more likely to start going that route at first rather than buying a stand alone player. SACD and DVD Audio were never really marketed...expect a lot more coming out this time around in regards to Blu-ray/PS3 advertising. HD DVD...well, they (Tosh) did run a couple promo style ads...the 360 add on will give it a slight boost and awareness...other than that...............

Completely Off Topic in addition to being interesting invites a host of crap threads waiting to be born. Off topic

PS2 drops to $129. Time for a sales surge to make some extra cash to offset the cost of PS3. PS2 $129

Beat me to it.
