Hey all, I’m back on Tumblr.
Netflix Lands on the PS3
What a suprise, eh? It’s quite the surprise that today Netflix announced that it will be making it’s way onto the PlayStation 3. No official launch date has been announced; however, next month PS3 owners will be able to access the functionality on the system for free and stream their favorite movies for only $8.99 a month. Sounds like a sweet deal!
According to the press release, Nextflix is really excited to roll this functionality out: “‘As instantly watching movies and TV episodes streamed from Netflix becomes an increasingly popular way to enjoy the Netflix service, our goal is to rapidly expand the devices that stream to our members,’ said Netflix CEO and co-founder Reed Hastings. ‘As a leading game console and Blu-ray disc player, bringing Netflix to the PS3 system is a real win for both Netflix members and PS3 system owners.’”
I’ll keep you guys posted. :)
Assassin’s Creed II Gameplay Walkthrough
This is a must get game for the holiday. Is it weird for me to say that my boner rubbed up against my keyboard while I was watching this video? I hope not. I wouldn’t mind if your boner did the same.
Metal Gear Solid 4’s File Size Proves a Future in Blu-ray
I was reading my RSS feeds again today when I ran across this article. They started to talk about how much space MGS4 takes up on a Blu-ray disc and, to my surprise, it takes up approximately 33.2 GB of a 50 GB Blu-ray disc. Unbelievable. MGS4 is a great game and the cut scenes really give the feeling of a movie. If you don’t own it yet, then you should go out and buy it (hint: it’s under $30!)
This is why I’m worried about the Metal Gear Solid franchise going multiplatform for the PS3 and the XBOX 360. The 360 only uses dual-layer DVDs which can hold approximately 8 GB in content. If the new game is going to be anything like MGS4 then I’m expecting a lot of compressed content and multiple DVDs for Microsoft’s competing system. DVDs are limited and dying, Blu-ray is the future and is rapidly expanding (some Blu-ray discs can hold over 100 GB of content!)
Uncharted 2 - Ice Cave Gameplay
All I can say is “wow.” Speechless. I’m currently playing Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune and that already shocked me. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will be a must-buy for me. I’m usually the cheap-o gamer who waits a couple of months for the price to go down, but this time I have to get this game on the day it’s released.
