Microsoft Not Worried About HD DVD

Mike Fahey — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 12:45:35 EST

Sure, HD DVD is pretty much dead, but that doesn't bother Microsoft one bit. Their official statement:

"We do not believe the recent reports about HD DVD will have any material impact on the Xbox 360 platform or our position in the marketplace. As we've long stated, we believe it is games that sell consoles and Xbox 360 continues to have the largest next-gen games library with the most exclusives and best selling games in the industry. We will wait until we hear from Toshiba before announcing any specific plans around the Xbox 360 HD DVD player. HD DVD is one of the several ways we offer a high definition experience to consumers and we will continue to give consumers the choice to enjoy digital distribution of high definition movies and TV shows directly to their living room along with playback of the DVD movies they already own."

I suppose they are right. Not like the failure of HD DVD will suddenly drop them below last place. More »

SEGA Reminds The Dreamcast Is Soon Dead

Brian Ashcraft — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 23:00:07 EDT

As we previously posted, the last Friday of this month marks the end of official SEGA Dreamcast console and peripherals repairs. After that, SEGA of Japan officially (and humbly) disowns the product and you'll be forced to get your machine in some back alley by some dude who doesn't wash his hands. The horror! Over on its official site, SEGA just posted a friendly reminder online of this impending doom. Wait, this isn't very friendly, this isn't very friendly at all. More »

Transformers Game Site: Not Much More Than Meets the Eye

fdemarco — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 14:00:00 EST

I suppose it's a bit of a stretch to call this Transformers Game site a "website" at this point. The main page offers you the choice between an Autobot or Decepticon's icon which then takes you to a newsletter sign up page. There's really no difference between the two pages except for the graphic at the bottom, but who knows, maybe the newsletters you receive will be branded with the icon of whatever faction you decide to go with. I clicked around hoping I would find some hidden video or screenshots, but to no avail, it's pretty much just those three pages. However, if you are interested in receiving information when the page gets updates and "game reveals" you can head over there now and sign up. More »

Nintendo Wii Site Launches and then Bits Disappear

Brian Crecente — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 15:55:55 EDT

It may not be officially launched, but Nintendo's official Wii site is definitely browseable. The site is broken down into four sections: philosophy, controller, software and hardware.
