This isn't just a problem with the PS3 though Atro. I'm a big JRPG fan myself, but the age of JRPG was the PS1... For JRPG's the system of choice today is the Nintendo DS or GBA.

I don't think it's going to get any better either, as DQ9 is going to be DS only..

Is it just me, were they a little too sincere with their homilies? That stunt should have been absolutely LACED with sarcasm! .... or at least some kind of Blu-ray punchline!

That is exactly what I thought. In fact when they started saying that HD was superior than that other guy I was actually offended. I think those guys actually thought that HD was better than Blu. What losers.

Nice to see how more FUD is dispensed even when all is done. More consumer friendly..Ha! Children loved you...Yeah right...HD-DVD had 'em all..except sales. You know...that "other format" that was kicking you butts week after week.

Some bash the PS3, some always say buy PS3. They are not paid to say that, that is just there opinion. There is no M$ G4 connection here so just drop it.

I've probably watched that channel longer than you have. I stopped watching it regularly when they broke up the hot programming (i.e. Screensavers, Call for Help, etc.). I know for a fact that TechTV was owned by a top level MS exec. (Paul Allen, I believe) and it showed. That would probably put him at about 50% ownership in G4TV (and it STILL shows but more so). That, right there, is a M$ G4 connection.

Sure Olivia has a Blu-ray player at home, but you can tell her words are closely guarded when it comes to Blu-ray. Did you not realize at E3 that other employees were looking at that one employee funny (I can't remember his name) when he started making pro-Sony comments?
You didn't find that strange? He stopped making pro-Sony/PS3 comments soon after.

I guess some people are just blind to certain things.

G4 sux balls... M$ *****s. Blu won and deservedly so!!

[PS3ds]

G4 is part of G4 Media which is owned by Comcast. M$ has several billion invested in Comcast. I's day there is a connection.

Case closed!

Nah they are always like that... Sarcasm is everywhere in that show...

So you should not play PS3 because Toshiba helped develop the Cell and it is now the company in charge of the fab that manufactures the Cell proc for the PS3 and we all know that toshiba were in with M$ to try to destroy blu-ray so there is a M$/Toshiba/PS3 conspiracy against Blu-ray and the PS3....Hey, that was pretty fun just grasping at straws like everyone else does...

Thank you...I am glad someone else here is not a complete fanboy and could see the sarcasm in the whole thing.
