Back in the Blu-ray Victory
Who experienced the tragic end of the HD-DVD. Toshiba has not announced this time is no longer produce HD-DVD. With the Blu-ray successful HD-DVD format for a single next-generation DVD format.

For consumers who have purchased Blu-ray player or PS3 game , this news certainly brisk. Instead, the buy HD-DVD player, must chest because there will be no more films produced in the HD-DVD format except that already in the market.
In the near term, the film has been produced price may be out until out of stock. Consumer Xbox 360 is no escape from the electrical current HD-DVD. However, behind this, consumers no longer be, which format is selected. Why HD-DVD should have beaten Blu-ray? Let's see the following reviews.

PS3 vs. XBOX 360
Until the rise print this report, there has been no official response from Microsoft related to "catastrophe" of HD-DVD production. Even though (there) is not in the game console Xbox 360, HD DVD is the main accessory purchased separately. Instead, as Sony rival Microsoft, the sale of every Playstation 3 (PS3) can mean a number winning Blu-ray because the PS3 and Blu-ray sold in one package.

Death of HD-DVD production, the show one step in Microsoft choose. However, if HD-DVD to the Xbox 360, may be the age of HD-DVD can be different because this console is sold in over 17 million figure in the world, exceeded the PS3, which only 10.5 million (up to the 2007 set). With this latest development, sales will drag on PS3, while Xbox explore alternatives for HD-DVD. Meanwhile, it is not easy to save for Microsoft Xbox 360 sales this. Whether Microsoft will use Blu-ray is also products in Xbox 360? Business decisions is not easy, but we must wait.

Anti scratch
Blu-ray data is stored on disk in the depth of 0.1 mm from the surface rather than the more shallow the HD-DVD to store them on the depth of 0.6 mm. However, owing to the , data is stored on Blu-ray more secure rather than HD-DVD. Even if you get the rough treatment though, the Blu-ray still clean.

Sony PS3 is far cheaper difficult. But the price of Sony PS3 production is down a lot, because the production cost power supply PS3 can already be up to 30%, or about $ 30 - $ 21.

Cost controller 3 is also the point of going down, man-made components Electronic Industry Co Hokuriku can save PS3 price around $ 1.45.
Pricing engine chip from IBM Cell Processor is also down 28% to $ 47.
While the GPU Reality Synthesizer from Nvidia can be trimmed to $ 58 or down 30%.
The total price of PS3 can be trimmed from the $ 35 cost of production at this time.

Sony PS3 production costs are now only $ 448.73, compared to the previous model for $ 690.
But the PS3 is sold with the price $ 399, also appeared to still come up short. Selling price of the cheaper price of production.

According to NPD, Sony PS3 console sales fall 19% in November ago. Diperkiraan sales PS3 will remain the same in December 2008.
Compared to Microsoft Xbox 360, is able to increase sales to 8% compared to year ago data.
Compared to Wii, even far behind.

How cheap it is not possible. Sony can only add value to console them with other devices such as Blu-ray drive. The buyer would want cheap and can save them money.
Position offers Sony PS3 for the cheap price is difficult, plus the condition of the world economic recession next year.
It took 2 years or more to reach the PS3 price to $ 299 level.

There's good news for the Sony penggila game. The giant Japanese company is launching soon Playstation 3 (PS3) with a capacity of about 80 gigabytes of hard disk drivenya.

With the capacity, the PS3 will be a games console with the most capacity at this time. Sony is always the game market in the world pertengahaan decades since 1990s. But PS3 sales this serious threat to get the issue of Nintendo Wii. In fact, Microsoft have cut prices to push up sales.

Jack Tretton, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment of America, as quoted from Reuters (9 / 10) says, PS3 PS Portable and now the 'vehicle' for the main Sony to achieve the fastest sale. This is done ntuk meet their target this year if the economic crisis affect the demand in the console this season.

Tretton said that Sony hopes to sell 10 million Playstation 3 units and 15 million units for the Playstation Portable in March 2009 until later.

If, with a 80 GB PS3 will be present in the market at the end of October. To obtain it, the gamers have to fish out of pocket 39,980 yen or USD398. This price does not change compared to previous PS3, a 40GB capacity. According to the plan, at an early stage of this product will be sold to Europe and North America first.

Jack in the Box better hope its marketing team is up to something genius. Because they just spent about $3 million on a very bizarre (and possibly disturbing) Super Bowl commercial.

In the commercial that aired during the third quarter, "Jack" is struck by a bus while walking along the "Hope Street" crosswalk and trying to sell Jack in the Box food. The fast-food founder's body is crushed and his hat goes flying. We're then prompted to visit the Hang in There Jack Web site to check his condition.

The viral site is pretty bare bones. There are just a couple of videos and a dark banner ad that reads: "In lieu of sending flowers, please ORDER ANYTHING ON THE MENU, ANYTIME OF THE DAY, Jack would want it that way." And there's also a Twitter feed where you can follow Jack's status.

For those who have witnessed someone getting hit by a bus, I imagine this commercial seemed a little out of line. Streetsblog remarks: "... the fast food chain seems to be having way to good a time parodying what is a horrific tragedy that wee see way too often."

Viral marketing campaigns are all the rage, but you have to wonder if taking this kind of approach is really going to help them rack up sales in sirloin burgers and teriyaki bowls.

I should mention that one of the details I miss about life on the West Coast is the Jack in the Box commercials. (We don't have Jack in New Hampshire.) I've never set foot in the restaurant, but I grew fond of Jack over the years. Somehow I actually care that he got hit by a bus. The man has a family.

Following up Lawrence Lessig’s remix-tastic appearance on the Colbert Report earlier in January, Indaba Music’s Dan Zaccagnino will be chatting with Stephen tonight about Indaba’s remix and online collaboration community. If you’re looking to create your own Colbert remix or just listen to some more, head over to the page on Indaba Music that is hosting CC licensed audio samples from the show.

The Colbert Report airs on Comedy Central at 11:30pm / 10:30c but will be available tomorrow to watch online.

Stephen Colbert's riffing about remix culture continued last night, with IndabaMusic co-founder Dan Zaccagnino's appearance on the Colbert Report. (Indaba Music is one of many online music collaboration sites we've profiled that offer artists and labels new ways to interact with fans -- really interact with them, by giving them easy ways to remix and redistribute content.)

As with last month's Lessig interview, Colbert's tongue-in-cheek demand that people not remix his words resulted in viewers taking up the gauntlet once again, this time using Indaba Music's online collaboration application.

The gambit paid off handsomely once again for Colbert, who had hundreds of fans create free content that earns him an extra round of attention whenever someone reposts the resulting videos (not to mention all the viral marketing that people do when they forward their creations to their friends).

David Abernathy. He's the man who's confident in virtually every aspect of life. He even performed open-heart surgery with a ballpoint pen when he was 24. He might even be a lost member of the Tenenbaum clan. Despite all that confidence, he wouldn't be able to buy a car without Cars.com, apparently.

David Abernathy was literally born confident. He dove headlong into every challenge and opportunity life presented him, with great success. Whether it was successfully negotiating a later bedtime at three years old, or performing open-heart surgery, in a crowded opera house, with a ballpoint pen. Despite all his confidence he always uses Cars.com when buying a new car. The ad closes with Cars.com’s tagline, “Confidence Comes Standard.”

The commercial starts with the birth of a child, a brilliant child named David Abernathy who shakes the doctor’s hand to congratulate him on a good delivery. In grade school, he wins over an older girl with the simple line, “call me”. He’s a hero who saves the class rabbit and goldfish and performs open heart surgery with a clicky ball point pen. Yep, a downright genius.

But even David Abernathy is scared of buying a car. But he is smart enough to get help from cars.com.

That’s the basic premise of the David Abernathy commercial, and from the looks of it, it’s going to be successful. People will remember David Abernathy, and now they’ll probably go to cars.com.

What do bruce springstein and dennys free grand slam have in common? They are both hot topics after this years superbowl 2009. I guess bruce springstein played at the superbowl half time because people are talking about him with a sudden burst of enthusiasm. What do people want to do after the superbowl? They want to sit their drunk asses down in Denny’s restaurant and get a denny’s free grand slam breakfast! Drunk and hungry. Sounds like a good time to me. How old is bruce springsteen you may be wondering tonight? He is 60 years old now as he was born in 1949. Yup, Bruce springsteen rocked out with the e street band at the superbowl and he’s a big hit today. I’m sure he’ll sell some albums after this.

The 58-year-old rock star has been accused of borrowing heavily from the 1979 track by glam rock group Kiss, I Was Made For Loving You, for his new song Outlaw Pete.

Springsteen performed the track during his appearance at half-time at the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Within hours, music aficionados had started a heated debate on the internet over the origin of the track's guitar riffs and drum sequences.

Kiss fans spliced the two songs together on the internet video sharing site YouTube to highlight the alleged similarities, while others defended Springsteen, whose nickname is "The Boss".

Decepticon forces return to Earth on a mission to take Sam Witwicky prisoner, after the young hero learns the truth about the ancient origins of the Transformers. Joining the mission to protect humankind is Optimus Prime, who forms an alliance with international armies for a second epic battle.

Nearly two years to the day after the original Transformers was released, it's interesting to note how the personalities involved here have changed. Shia LaBeouf has gone from an up-and-comer to full-fledged star, with attendant backlash and ego bursts; Megan Fox one upped her co-star by becoming a more credible Hollywood bad boy; Michael Bay is still as huffy as producer Don Murphy is angry, though they both do an admirable job of bringing movies news, insights, misdirections, and angry rants to the TF universe.
