Oh my gawt!!! 400GB is a bit overkill, no? Then again, I do remember when (that is, reading about when as I am too teeny to have existed) Bill Gates said something about 256kB being plenty. Or was it 128? Oh well, the future may hold 15YB games for us in this perspective and speed of advancement O_o.

Pioneer has just developed a sixteen-layer Blu-ray disc that holds 400GB of data (!). With this kind of disc, your PS3 hard drive could be copied five times over, just for the heck of it.

When I read your take, the very first thing I did was run off to do a google search on "bill gates quote memory" to dig up the real quote. What I found was a snippet of an interview that refutes this quote: "640K of memory should be enough for anybody."
Further research led me to someone else tracking the same information, wondering, "Did Bill Gates say the 640k line?"
Dammit! I had bought into this quote for years! What they found seems close enough, but not quite. It's like the whole "Al Gore said he invented the internet" misquotation -- skewed from what was originally said to be more entertaining, yet sadly not true. D'oh.

The trailer didn't reveal any new footage (everything had been part of previous trailers showcased at Tokyo Game Show and S-E's private shows), but confirmed its release for Xbox 360. No release date was given, and oddly enough, it's only planned to ship for Xbox 360 in..."

Good move Sony, Konami and their Metal Gears are the only things keeping you running. Take those Gears out and join them with the other Gears on the 360 and the Sony machine is going to fall apart, isn't it? Even if per say the 360 could handle it, this IS Sony's only lifeline ever since Square's defection. They should do all they can to push...

From the article: Speaking to the concept of paying third parties for exclusives, Tretton said that Sony has "invested so much money in the [PS3] hardware" that it simply "can't write checks for exclusive software."

Whoa wait what? More news about FF7 compilation? Being the fan of the super complex storyline that people fail to recognize but generally do recognize, I am totally psyched. This could effect my decision of slowly accumulating cash for a console. O_O

If any of you were going to Tokyo to the Enix game show, it looks like this game show isn't going to be that exciting. Here is a list of the playable games -- most were already shown at another Tokyo event:
Playable:
* Snoopy DS
* Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon DS
* Valkyrie Profile (DS)

A interesting new twist to the most famous and longest running RPG to date. Then again for those who played , a Ehrgeiz,a fighting game for the PS1 that featured Final Fantasy characters, should be a bit familiar with something like this. Now in no way is this similar to Ehrgeiz cause from the pics and videos I saw on this game, it's a bit more...
