Zelda

[Neil]

I might just get the Revolution as well as the PS3, but anyway who's looking forward to the next Zelda after Twilight Princess?

I look foreward to all new Zelda games. Zelda is one of the best franchises ever and has always had great games. Even origional Zelda is still good. I love Zelda.

Today, Asus joined hands with Sony to support its Blu-ray. Along with being a supporter, Asus announced a multi-format DVD writer that also inherits the ability to play BD media. Asus’s Blu-ray Disc drive, known as BC-1205PT is an internal SATA drive for PCs. It will of course handle DVD-ROM writing duties, along with CD-R/RW. It will be able to burn DVD ±R/RW media at a speed of 12x and dropping to a speed of 4x, to burn dual-layered discs. Even though the name sounds nice as it is, it won’t be able to write BD-R or BD-RE media to a disc. Instead, it’ll be able to just read the formats and BD-ROM discs at a speed of 5x. According to Asus the drive is good for "high-resolution movie playback". But, in order to watch movie playback, users will need compatible BD playback software to watch its playback in Hi-def glory. As of right now the release date on this piece of hardware is currently unavailable.

Dells very own Tom pratt, Technology Strategist, believes that Blu-ray is needed for the expansion of a PC platform in a rising digital home. One of the positive outcomes of Blu-ray, is that it can store huge data files that are considered commin in the digital realm. Thus making it essential for the PC, gaming, and movie worlds

"For instance, a feature film can be distributed on one Blu-ray Disc with plenty of room for additional content such as out-takes and interactive games. Play the disc in the PC Blu-ray Disc drive and view high-definition video, as well as expanded interactive features that take advantage of the PC's connection to the Internet. The Blu-ray Disc can present interactive content, including games, information about the movie, and downloadable subtitles, sounds, and just-released movie trailers that can be saved to the PC's hard drive." said Pratt.


Considering all major computer companys are picking up Blu-ray as a primary disc drive, HD-DVD might not have a future in PC hardware.

According to Pratt, "there was no PC industry involvement in HD-DVD development to address data storage capabilities."All in all, "Blu-ray Disc technology is superior because it meets all the requirements for next-generation removable storage. It has higher storage capacity, a richer feature set, can be used for data storage and high-definition content delivery, and allows for backward compatibility with CDs and DVDs. It also has broad industry support and well-defined formats, which will help to avoid the compatibility issues associated with previous removable storage transitions. With these strengths, Dell believes that Blu-ray Disc technology is likely to dominate for the next decade or more.â€

Way too short. Don't write articles that have very little info to begin with. There isn't much point. In other words, don't write an article just for the sake of writing an article (and making $5).

This article is important. Please write a bit more. Perhaps discuss the success of Blu-ray in general...how HD DVD is doing...who HD DVD's supporters are (Paramount, Universal exclusively) etc.

I will continue this article soon

This turned out to be a pretty good article. Still had to make quite of lot of edits to fix grammar and sentence structure, but content-wise it was much better than before.
