FANBOYS: Episode 1 BlueRay Vs HD-DVD: The PS3 hack Case

Mr Fido: Blu-ray is not SD or HD Donferri. Its a storage medium. What the guy was pointing out is that the data stored on them is the same. Putting something in a bigger box doesn't make it bigger. You are paying more money for the same data except it has been re encoded with parameters to STRETCH it to a larger size mathematically so it will render at higher resolutions. You can do the same thing using an upscaler on the standard DVD version and you would get the same quality.
Also, blu ray disc are slow (this is why most things on the PS3 MUST install before you play them) and a lot of that data in the game is duplicate data use to increase load times. Go look at the size almost any ps3 game that has been uploaded to the internet. Most of them could fit on a regular dvd because all of the padding and dummy files have been removed. The only ones that can't are the ones that are loaded with uncompressed voice data and HD CG movies and FMVs.

Mr. Frudo: Seems like you don't know anything about storage size and resolutions. Ofcourse blue ray is a storage medium that it allows HD (1080p) resolution possible. Smaller medium forces compression which results in lower quality. Upscaling allows it to multiply the pixels into 1080p level but you don't get the same quality as HD video with uncompressed audio. Higher resolution doesn't automatically mean higher quality. Also, blue ray disc is not slow, its the medium of reading the disc is slow, read speeds are getting faster with new players. Anyone who thinks that 25gb (blue ray) is same as 5gb (DVD) is probably suffering from serious mental disorder.


Mr. Frido: No apparently you don't know anything HD. You can put an HD video on a CD. It just wouldn't be a very big one.
Just like the rest of the ignorant fanboys on here, you are confusing capability with what is being done or either you can't read. No one said that the movie "couldn't" be better quality on a blu-ray. We are saying that it "wasn't".
The point was that you are paying more for the same data. They could have made the videos higher quality but they didn't. Blu-Ray is just a bigger box. It doesn't alter the data held on it in anyway.
Anyone who says that someone said that bluray is the same is a dvd when they didn't is probably suffering from a "severe" mental disorder. Go back to school and learn how to read and conjugate vocabulary.



Mr. Frudo: have ya ever used a Blue-Ray?


Mr. Frido:Blu Ray itself does nothing amazing. It utilizes MPEG2 (which is supported by standard DVD) as well as H.264 (the current codec for "HD" content). As a previous poster already stated, the limitation of DVD is not which codec is used, but how much data can be stored. A really long movie using no compression, won't fit on most DVDs, even DS/DL DVDs. On the other hand, a short high definition video can easily fit.

Ultimately, what Blu Ray allows for, is the ability to store long videos without the need to use compression or multiple layers (currently, the largest DVD can hold ~18GB if it is double-sided and quadruple layered). However, all of that space is squandered because most (not all) Blu Ray movies are pressed using the same master file that is used to press a DVD. If you are going to watch upscaled DVD masters on a Blu Ray, you might as well watch a DVD itself and just upscale that.

Like I said, the information is out there, if you are willing to actually do some research. The phrase, "caveat emptor" exists for a reason. You must inform yourself. The provider of the good has no duty to disclose everything about the product. This is why they can get away with selling you the same file for more money on a different medium. But hey, ignorance is bliss. Sony loves your dollars.

The Greatest Marvel hero gets his due.
Captain America enjoys the same stature in the marvel world that Batman enjoys in the DC universe.The able leader of Team of Avengers,Captain America is simply the "papa" of Iron Man and Spiderman with his Super Soldier Strength,agility,vibranium-admantium alloy induced shield and his intuitiveness.But with all the Anti-American air around us,the new world after 9/11 ,the war on terror aka War for Oil,will this symbol of American Strength be accepted by non-American audience? Though Marvel is trying to repaint a new Avatar as the "Symbol of Freedom and Democracy" rather than "Symbol of American heroism"..still the red and blue stripes may offend many.The case,we shall discover on July 22

Internet Humor: National Anthem "Jan gan mann " has been declared as "the BEST ANTHEM of the WORLD" by UNESCO.

The best part,I feel proud to be Indian cuz we feel proud over everything,a NRI(non reliable Indian) gets nominated somewhere,gets to spacewalk and we feel proud of him/her even though they really don't care about being Indian(in some cases they r like coconuts,brown outside,but on the inside more white than the whites!!!haha



firstly though its a good news but google says its a rumor

http://www.hoax-slayer.com/best-national-anthem-unesco.shtml

Secondly its not anything to be proud,if u do a 10 sec research the the meaning of "jan Gana mann whatever" it aint for praising India but some British viceroy/queen.



"Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people,

dispenser of India's destiny.

Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, the Maratha country,

in the Dravida country, Utkala (Orissa) and Bengal;

It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,

it mingles in the rhapsodies of the pure waters Jamuna and the Ganges.

They chant only thy name,

they seek only thy blessings,

they sing only thy praise.

The saving of all people waits in thy hand,

thou dispenser of India's destiny.

Hail, Hail, Hail to thee.

The tune is our Anthem."



See the second line "dispenser of India's destiny"[Bharat Bhagya vidhata..]

now thats a "third person" reference.".If it was The incredible hulk then this would be pardonable but the person who wrote this is a Noble laureate[that medal is controversial wrt our nationalist sentiments], so u can't argue its a grammatical mistake.

Game Review:Call of Duty: Black Ops

Preplay: Man!! Its here like everyyear.The Call Of Duty games have become annual event like many of our important festivals and even birthdays.We may forget Earth Day but we all remember the date the next CoD will arrive.Amazing that only a CoD has been able to suprceed a CoD from past 4 years in terms of popularity ans sales.lets see what tryarch has to offer in the wake of disruption of our beloved Infinity Ward.



Story: Best one yet.Thrilling,Action packed and keeps you on the edges of your seat throught for about 5-6 hours.Voice acting is Stellar.Sam Worthington is rally amazing as Alex mason.I wont tell nothing..evry twist is important.

Gameplay:Its the great old CoD formula and they have rightly not messes with it.Though they have added some elements first for a CoD game like flying a Chopper,driving a Boat and an amazing Terminator 2 esque bike sequence.Leaning comes back but we have already forgotten using it.Crossbow as a weopan addition is effective and fantastic.



Graphics and Sound: Sound has been CoD's forte and industry legend.graphically the engine has churned out amzing setpieces and is certainly up to date.

CLosing Comments:Go buy it!!!!

9/10

Game Review: Medal of Honor

Pre-play: Its 3 long years since the last Medal of Honor,One of the most succeful FPS franchise ever and among the pathbreakers too but its younger cousin currently owns the FPS genera,EA decided to shun the WW2 era and come into Present day ,but is this too late??

Story: Nothing Special,just as usual a dumb Hero who is supposed to do everything from blowing tucks to taking out bad guys to calling air sport to washing dishes.We play as rabbit and Adams,but the story lacks the punch the Industry toppers offer and the game is too reliant on Scripted Sequences..meh


Gameplay: again nothing new to offer,we get to man a gun on a chopper,ride a ATV and shoot.The game is heavily dependent on bodycount rather than pure shooting thrills.Dissaponting.We have all seen this already,haven't we.





Lasting appeal:MOH is EAss failed attempt to catch MW series,hope the next one is atleast upto its generation.



Score: 7.5/10

sankalp srivastava - bhokali pandey
OPC kal hai :P
manish pandey - @Abhisek
it wasn't meant for u.I n Akshay enjoy a bond and we love buzzing each other out :P
for the records,Akshay was the first guy I met in MNNIT and had those silly"I fucked my JEE real bad" conversation :P

again,I don't think I know anebody in "MNNIT" who really can define wat is exciting and wat is interesting ? all r cast out of same mould,some murkier,some brighter,some lighter...but none whom I can say "oh,I knew a guy who was.....or "listen fellas,I m proud to tell that this guy was my batchmate"....or discuss with my school frnds "that I know a guy who is good at something other than nothing...."

Learn to appreciate things bro.If anything ain't right for u,it dosen't mean for everybody else.I hate HP,twilight,LOTR 3,Taylor Swift,Justin Biebber,Henry Fayol but that dosen't mean they suck..if u don't like anything,atleast u can respect others feelings.


and "playing some computer games for mere grin and giggles"...that was a bit on the harsher side.I don't mess with urs, I wont say passion..(in MNNIT no one got any ),u shan't either with mine.EditOct 2

ABHISHEK SHUKLA -

Akshay Sharma - OOPS ..! I missed the fun ..! heavy cost for sleeping.. !
let me just paste few "woah" lines.. :P

- ".man u cant take a break and enjoy a weekend" .. (better sleep than a "rajni can't" stuff)
- "i enjoy my life and all the days along with the weekends" (I wonder what you do :P )
- "I don't think I know anebody in "MNNIT" who really can define wat is exciting and wat is interesting" .. ( +1 pandey ... life is really awful)
- "I hate HP,twilight,LOTR 3,Taylor Swift,Justin Biebber,Henry Fayol" .. (haha .!)
- ".(smiling while readin...n typin as well) i got it" (that sounds human . :? )

and the uncencored quote - "Akshay was the first guy I met in MNNIT and had those silly "I fucked my JEE real bad" " . . ;)

and conclusion part,
"(in MNNIT no one got any )" .. really sad. ! :'(
sometimes we are constrained. But I bet , a few guys here DO HAVE .!
not talking abt TT, basktball , or, CS .. its abt hw you approach things .. passionately or lifelessly .

amar garg - i like "in MNNIT no one got any" :P :DOct 2

sankalp srivastava - This one deserves to be archived ..Oct 2

manish pandey - maybe I had lost my cool then but I won't edit this post..maybe 2-3 years down the line I wud luv revisiting this post just for few laughs :P(man how easily I get driven by sudden burst of emotions ..)
