I am in tears and will no longer be considering buying FFIV.
Anyone else depressed by this horrific abomination?

Ok... Just for the record HD-DVD is the extension of the DVD standard. If you don't mind not having any extras you can get a Superbit DVD, the cases tend to have this Stainless still print on them, where they take that extra space and use it to better encode the movie with higher quality everything. I just like to mention at this point that picture wise most DVD's are already better than what you see at the movies themselves, no real artifacts. Yeah, like HDTV broadcast, IPv6, and DVD data disc for computers it will take a while to catch on. Though I'll probably get one with my next TV in like 6 years. Oh wait Holographic media is suppose to final come by then. Then it will terabytes. The actual raw film itself.
It's a very very rough extension, mainly in name only. You can buy all the Superbits you want but they're not High Definition. If you don't get HD cable then it's really pointless owning an HDTV (or if you have an XBOX) since DVDs look just as good on a really nice SDTV. That being said, a really good DVD transfer looks fantastic, and more isn't that necessary.
As for being better than the movies, that all depends. A LOT of DVDs have artifacts, compression, ghosting, etc. No DVD transfer is flawless, and few are truly fantastic. A ton of DVD transfers are muddy, cropped, edge enhanced or poor in other aspects. Film prints are always scratchy with hairs and blips, but the actual image is a hundred times that of a DVD. The detail and clarity (when projected right) outdoes any digital medium. The best digital camera (I'm talking professional ala Collateral) still can't capture quite the detail film can. It's also questionable whether that picture perfect clarity is really as good as the pure asthetic of a mechanical projector.
I agree about the next medium, though. I think HDDVD/Blu-Ray will never be what DVD is. It won't be until we're talking 99% complete transfers (and probably 75% digitally shot films) that another format can come. For the average person there's little reason to rush out and get better than DVD, their eye doesn't notice a difference.

Wow. I especially love that the GameCube is outselling the 360. Software:
Amazing week for Nintendo! 8 of the Top 10 are DS games, 11 of the Top 20 are DS games, and 13 of the Top 20 are Nintendo games.
EDIT: PEOPLE SHOULD STAY ON TOPIC

Futureshop has been a little slow with some releases, and didn't get others at all. I know for 100% that NOC announced online retailers would sell it, while NOA was just saying Nintendo.com would sell it. I'd imagine futureshop gets it within a week of release.

Just what I was about to say! Except it's in North America. Double Dash was within 100,000 by the summer, so it's probably there by now.

Try running your own forums and say that.

This game annoys me. Simply because no one has ever called it tiku tiku tiku! . It's got MICKEY MOUSE and everyone is calling Zelda tiku tiku tiku! ! I think Darkheart is right.

You cannot say g-and then-ay on the forum? Yet there is a topic with the word in the title...I think I understand the reasoning behind not letting people write it, but shouldn't the topic title be changed too?

There's a big difference between those sites, which purely stick to news and reviews, and Planet Gamecube. I enjoy Joystiq, but it it totally different. PGC writes its own previews, reviews, features and hosts its own screenshots and video. It doesn't link to other sites, because it's a full site not a blog. The nature of a blog is to link to other people and comment on the news. PGC, like IGN or GameSpot, is the type of site blogs link to. It just wouldn't work. (Though I believe PGC does use a system that is similar to a blog in posting new info.)
That being said, I'd really love to see a more visually pleasingn design for Planet ___________.

I was kidding originally. But to say Sonic in ANY form is better than Mario is just plain STUPID. Sonic was at best an amusing diversion, at worst a highly overrated rail jumper posing as something worthwhile.

There is this thing called a 'difference'. A difference is like...between handheld and console.
