Plus you got like 6 months until August man. Maybe you can get some deals on the older games by then. Sucks you have to wait that long though I'm sure your itching to play. Good luck!
I'm borowing a 360 from a friend and played some games, gears of wars, saints row, crackdown, assasins creed
All nice games.. but I'm a difficult gamer.. they where not able to amuse me very long.. So i'm going to borrow a wii next week and see if that fits me better..

Yeah, You buy $250 worth a crap which in 2 months will be worthless. Then He'll have to spend even more money on a BD Player. What don't you understand? Paramount went Blu, Univeral is Blu. HD-DVD is dead. It's a waste of money to invest in all that, NOW.
judging by the price of blue ray players,
and the discounts you could get from hd-dvds. i'd say you are wrong.
you could buy a hd-dvd player + 20 dvds for HALF THE PRICE/maybe less of a blue ray player and 20 dvds.
and once the price comes down on blue-ray players you could buy one.
its not really that much of an investment judging the price they will be now its become redundant.
get off the blue-ray band-wagon and see logic.

Why is this concept of saving money so hard? Do they stop working in 2 months? No, they keep playing back the same quality content as BD. Do I need to do the maths again?
You spend $400 on a player and buy 20 BD disk for $20 each. That is $400. You could spend $100 on an HD DVD player and those same 20 movies for $10. That is $300.
In conclusion: If you like HD content and the 400+ tiitles already out, it makes perfect sense to get then in HD DVD rather than blu-ray.

Not really because we know that Blu-ray has won.
buying a HD player for 20 movies is pointless.
At least with Blu-ray you know there'll be more to get in the future

You don't seem to get it. Sure you get those movies, Which might be cheap, BUT since they will stop making movies for HD-DVD, ( I think they already stopped? ), You'll be getting a bad deal. With Blu you won't have to worry about new movies, with an HD player you won't get the new movies, You'll have to be with the old stuff. I'm sure people won't watch the same 20-30 movies over and over. Blu has a wider selection of movies and is just increasing. HD has less and it's not getting any bigger. I don't your saying you get it for cheap and all, BUT soon you won't be able to get the new movies which makes it pointless investing on it.

Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
