Pure ownage. Bye bye Dvd9

Im acually wondering wth they did to Stranglehold to make it fit on 360. looked at the box for the PC version and it said it required 15gb of HD space! they must have butchered that game for 360 severly, or made it on 2 disks hopefully. well the defeate of DVD9 is pretty much inevitable. Next up, 360 version 10 with built in HD-dvd to delay their defeat

Microsoft probably already has it's new console almost ready for release.

 blu-ray stricks again.

another reason why those shltbox360 owners will miss out on quality games when they don't require HDD space and the discs having limited storage.  and another reason why we bought the playstation tre.

We will keep seeing this while the years pass.

@mecha if thats the case their will be alot of pissed off Xbox 360 owners. Believe me. Id hate to own a xbox 360 right now lmfao.

Maybe they wont even use the 50gig bluray disk. Maybe they will use the 100gig disk made my hitachi. Now that wouold be awesome.

Not so exclusive...but LA Noire definitely ain't coming to Xbox 360

hmmmm

Its good to know Rockstar is praising the ps3 for bluray and not the 360.

we already know blu-ray is bigger and better than dvd-9 but this war is a constant battle as long as hd-dvd still has support so get excited when you see compananies that support hd-dvd switch to blu-ray that is something to celebrate

Well, the size limitation on DVD9 is inevitable. Soon all the big games can only fit on Blu-ray Discs and game studios realize this is really the only viable option for the new gaming generation. Go PS3+BD!

I am soooooooo sory to say this i own a ps3 myself and never a 360 and never will own a console from microsoft but microsoft probly already has there new console ready to ship by early 2008 or mid 2008 cause they can make consoles soooo fast and they have infinite money unlike sony

^^ New console ready to ship by 2008? Have you been smoking crack? If there was a new console coming that soon it would A)Be released before christmas for the holiday rush B)Be all over the place. MS doesn't keep secrets. They advertise everything.

if ms delivers a new xbox next year will be the doom for them 10milliones 360 owners will be pissed and will go and buy the wii and the ps3.

I hope they use atleast 25GB of the capacity otherwise people will just say - use two DVD's... I purchased Final Fantasy 8 on PSX and it came on four or six (cant remember) CD's... that was fine. So I hope they really do use the capacity for good purposes.

I'm not keen on waiting out for a 2009 release - which I know will slip to 2010.  As some others have already suggested by 2009 Nintendo and MS will probably be getting set to role out there new consoles. It's probrably going to happen like that. Nintendo use the same CPU & GPU chipset as in Gamecube so its 100% compatible - they just increase the clockspeed and memory as pricing allows. They could easily release a Wii 2 and play all the same games so people would not be upset - the Wii 2 would run at 1080p and be priced about what the current Wii is - The old Wii would still sell and be positioned at  US$80 - US$100...

Similarly Microsoft now has rights over their PPC CPU & ATi GPU so they can at any time simply add a faster version with 4 additional cores and double the memory and keep 100% native compatibility. IE: just like a PC running Windows you can add more CPU & Cores and scale the computer as required. No one would get upset - and Microsoft would just extend the saleable period for games for another 5 or 6 years... Very attractive to publishers.

DVD9 and HD DVD are dead.  By the time La Noire comes out for PS3, we all will be using Hitachi's new 100GB Blu-ray discs on our PS3s and all other Blu-ray players by 2008. MORE than enough GBs for LA Noire and any other game for PS3 can EVER handle.

Love it. Cant wait to play this game.. sounds like its shaping up good, and its about time we got a historical, and REALISTIC (emphesis here!) detective game.

WOW! I have been wondering about this game, and now it might be somewhat exclusive! The wait for new news was worth it.

I could see multiple disks for 360 being made but I'm sure sooner or later a free trade in for a 360 with a built in HDDVD/DVD9 player will be put in and the format will switch to hddvd for the games.

When Rockstar decides to make a good game, they make AWESOME games. This game will be awesome. Rockstar doesnt screw around. They are my fav developers

Well this pretty much sums up why GTA IV is gonna suck,because it has to be scaled back for the 360.Obviously R* is intriged by all that extra space,but couldn't pass up 50 million

Can someone give us a reminder in 18 months that this game will be eventually coming out. I mean 2009 at best? - I'll have forgotten by then. The wait...The wait...

HERRO!.. SO i Was just playn some warhawk.. and was like.. where the fudge are all my buddies.. then I relized.. all my ps3 buddies are playing other games.. so if anyone out there wants to play wark hawl.. im game..

psn id: pudge

If Microsoft uses bluray in ther next console, would they have to pay royalties to Sony? That would be the definition of irony!

@The Cleaner

Take your MS fanboy self to another site and gtfo. Seriosly why cant you just admit that This is positive move for sony and and another mark against MS.

This reminds me of back when rockstar was creating games soley for sony from the birth of gta. With L.A. Noire it think the title will be amazing and im glad alot of game devs use blu rays space up and i like how sony created a nice future proof console I think honestly blu ray was such a great move from sony even though it was sorta risky at first but im glad everyone accepting their decision :).

First Rockstar, then everyone else! I can't until the fact is known that DVD9 won't cut it anymore.That's for trying to jump the gun on "next gen" M$! Sony had a vision and stuck with it. I respect that. Also, the article says "not so exclusive". What are they talking about?

c'mon PS3 users.... we all see this coming right?..... though i believe microsoft will milk the dvd9 for all its worth, and probably more... im surprised that the orange box was on one disk for 360...whaaaat?.... must be a total loader and a half...

dudes, if it's taking them so much time to do it, by the time they're giving the finishing touches to L.A Noire, they've probably mastered the ps3 working routines 3 or 4 times, so QUALITY won't be an issue, and ppl tend to forget things lot, remember when they launched GTA: San Andreas???? R* said that they had to leave many things out because there wasn't enough space, sony was wwwwwwaaaaaaaayyyyyyy ahead of the developers when they devised Blue-Ray some ppl called them MAD i say those guys are genius, ps3 will be around at least for five years or more, and then we'll get ps4 with backward compatibility ( i think it's wrote that way if not, sorry), with a faster BR-reader, and i can't even imagine the power of the machine, i know, i know i write a lot, but all this just to say that it'0s inevitable that M$ will lose this race, who in is right state of mind will buy another console in one year and a half, even it the games are still compatible??? and that's why the 3shi6tt0y is condemned....
