That 600 price point didn't help

iirc it was still the cheapest option for a bluray player at some point so people got a ps3 just for that as well

I just thought about HD DVDs and the fact that you had to buy a separate add on for the 360 to play HD DVDs for the first time in years and did a little chuckle under my breath

I imagine that alone is what made the 360 the dominant platform for last gen because not including proprietary disc drives in the system meant it cost like half of what a PS3 did

Austin's description of Xenoblade on the beastcast sounded good to me but there were also multiple times when he mentioned a feature and I said "oh no...." out loud.

No doubt, a lot of early adopters did. But they were well in the minority, as of 2007 60% of PS3 owners didn't realize that they owned a blu-ray machine:

im listening to the QL now and apparently it plays fine and they're just really disappointed by the lack of different modes. but, it is still mario tennis with online.

edit: they just said there is no Play With Friends online option, though. thats messed up.

YouTube identified six dmca'd videos whose creators they'll defend in court and Austin says its terrible because they're only telling companies not to attack those videos and leaving everyone else out to dry. Everyone else is saying it's probably a first step and they aren't going to just forever sit on only those six videos and Austin is getting on a sturdy reinforced soapbox about how this is wrong and he won't drop it.

It's pretty telling how lovely game design is nowadays that the idea of "designing characters around the mechanics of the game" is a pretty novel idea.

The ensuing discussion is pretty interesting although I didn't really agree with them at all.

A major difference between beastcast and bombcast is that beastcast approach stuff assuming you haven't heard the news or played the game and try to paint a picture while bombcast are just some guys chatting who assume you're on board. It feels geared toward different audiences and I appreciate the former because I don't really follow gaming stuff except for browsing these forums during downtime at work.

Games are bad and their associated personalities are also bad except Vinny because hes like a normal human sucked into the shitpit of video games like he is Captain N and Dan is Simon Belmont and Austin is Kid Icarus and Brad is Mega Man and Jeff is Mother Brain.
