Warner puts Blu-ray, HD DVD combo disc 'on hold'

To Scott

I couldn't aggree more with Scott on HD-DVD. The major plus point of HD-DVD is that is has many strict standardisations that all HD-DVD players have to conform to. This makes for a much richer consumer experience and ensures quality accross the board. Unlike BD, where, it seems to me that the only requirement is that a device has to play a Blu-ray disc. I'm not going to become a fan-boy and slate BD though, I'll keep my opinions to myself; after all this is the internet and everyone keeps their opinions to themselves on the the internet!

Argos admits selling Halo 3 early

Oh c'mon..

To the posters above; I think you need to give the "Stick to the man" attitude a rest. Argos made the goof, not MS. MS have made the relese date very clear to the retailers and it doesn't afect them either way whether it come out this week or next week - the release date it ensure fair play from all retailers so no-one gets a copy before anyone else. so the lucky blighters who got it early most certainly won't be in trouble from MS (or banned from Live!).

Argos probably released it early to get their sales moving forwards, so THEY are the cheeky fella's. GAME did the same when they put FFXI on sale two days early.

In short, MS are not related to this error
