Feb 11th 2008 10:39AM It would help if Engadget sourced their information properly. Here is the direct link to Netflix's Press Release Web site.

"BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- With the industry now having picked a winner in the face-off between the two competing high- definition DVD formats, Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX), the world's largest online movie rental service, today said that it will move toward stocking high-def DVDs exclusively in the Blu-ray format.
Citing the decision by four of the six major movie studios to publish high-def DVD titles only in the Sony-developed Blu-ray format, Netflix said that as of now it will purchase only Blu-ray discs and will phase out by roughly year's end the alternative high-def format, HD DVD, developed by Toshiba."
Firmware 2.10 is now available for download {PS3 Fanboy}
Dec 18th 2007 12:21AM Unfortunately, I can confirm that the 2GB "artificial" limit is in place for WMV (VC-1) and DivX files.
I'm using TwonkyVision.
Microsoft (MSFT) Zune sold out? {BloggingStocks}
Nov 19th 2007 11:34PM Get your facts straight. According to Windows Enthusiast Paul Thurrott, "The Zune 80 was never manufactured in volume, and many retailers never got a single unit to begin with."

Singstar finally gets a concrete release date {PS3 Fanboy}
Nov 8th 2007 12:42PM If I import SingStar PS3 from the UK, will the SingStore work here in the United States?
Buzz! makes beeline for North American PS2 {Joystiq}
Oct 30th 2007 11:09PM Apparently, it will work fully with the 60GB PS3. The controllers are connected to a USB hub-type box. There not wireless like the Scene It! for 360. I guess I'll pick it up for the family—looks fun.

Oct 15th 2007 4:30PM I guess you've never heard of Endless Ocean, popfrogs. Nope, nothing like these "specialty" titles on any other platform.

Valve's Gabe Newell comes down hard on PS3 {Joystiq}
Oct 11th 2007 10:22AM Oh, please. This is the same guy that wanted 1 million dollars to port existing Valve games over to the Mac the platform. When Apple refused, he bashed Apple as not being developer friendly. All this amounts to is Valve wants to create one master game and port it to the XBOX 360, PS3 and PC instead of developing for each specific platform. Sorry, but that's not how you get great games, and that's not what Nintendo, Sony or even Microsoft want developers to do. If you don't want to develop for a specific platform fine, then don't. But constant bitching about how your game company has to optimize for this or that console platform is ridiculous.
SingStar PS3 can't find the stage, release delayed {Joystiq}
Oct 9th 2007 10:52AM Too Bad SingStar is a multi-million dollar game franchise for Sony, and is extremely popular in both Japan and Europe. SingStar Pop has performed very well in the United States, and with the release of Amp'ed and 80's a few weeks ago, the market for such a casual game remains strong. Not everyone wants to purchase a $180 kit just to sing a few songs with friends.
PS3 price-cut coming October 12th? {Engadget}
Oct 1st 2007 2:38PM The problem with software emulation is that it currently does NOT work with many PS and PS2 titles. Even new Sony-developed games like SingStar, aren't compatible yet. You can forget playing Ratchet and Clank, God of War or Guitar Hero too on your 80 or 40GB PS3.
Rock Band wireless guitar for PS3 rocks the FCC {Engadget}
Sep 24th 2007 4:46PM The dongle is likely included so the FCC can test the device for interference. Therefore, avoiding having to pair the guitar with a PS3 unit.
