When all hope seemed lost for HD-DVD, there was a glimmer of hope that came to Microsoft and Toshiba’s rescue earlier today. Hollywood movie studios Paramount and Universal both squashed rumors hinting that they would switch over to Blu-Ray. Instead, they reinforced their stance next to HD-DVD amidst all the ship-jumping being performed by other major Hollywood studios.

Ken Graffeo, executive vice president of High Definition Strategic Marketing at Universal Studios Home Entertainment, reassured reporters that “this is just a rumor, both Universal and Paramount are continuing to produce movies in HD DVD.” When asked what plans were underway to combat the massive support Blu-Ray has received Graffeo revealed Universal and Paramount’s joint approach for keeping HD-DVD alive.

“We believe that both Universal and Paramount have a strong arsenal of quality films that will continue to play in HD-DVD’s favor. Both studios have decided on a joint-venture campaign to breathe life back into the superior high definition format. We have two motion picture heavyweights that will act as our front lines in this war, and we are confident that consumers will think twice before exclusively choosing Blu-Ray over HD-DVD.” Continue Reading »

Three, that’s the magic number. Three is the number of companies competing in the console gaming market. Three is the number of people required to make a crowd. It is also the number of people required for a threesome. Three is the number of Star Wars films there are that don’t suck. Three is the number of boobs Arnold got to see in Total Recall. Three is the number of functional features a man has in his pants. Three is the number of high definition options one has when purchasing an HDTV. However, most importantly three is the number of words this site is based on.

1. Quality
2. Assurance
3. Management

Don’t be fooled, you cannot use these three words together. That would give you Quality Assurance Management, more commonly known as beta testing. This is not a beta testing site. Living in your mother’s basement and getting paid $8 an hour to test out a video game is not prestigious. However, if you use each word individually you get something prestigious: journalism.

The goal of this site is to provide you with real news from the gaming industry. This news is of high Quality, meaning you won’t find any other gaming news wire out there that can provide prime, accurate, and downright interesting content as this site. We provide you Assurance when reading this site’s content. You can have complete Assurance that our content is real and trustworthy. How can we provide such Assurance? If we report it, it must be true. We don’t publish rumors. We don’t publish opinions. Most of the stuff we will publish is available only behind closed doors. Our investigative reporting techniques are guaranteed to impress game aficionados, as well as piss off industry execs who can’t seem to figure out how we obtained our information. Lastly, this site provides Management. Instead of having to feverishly jump from site to site to gather all your gaming news, this site consolidates everything onto one page. In essence we efficiently use Management on your precious time, saving you from headaches and excessive mouse clicks.

The bottom line:: this is a serious gaming site for serious gamers. And best of all, it costs less than a gamer’s attempt to get laid. And you don’t need to worry about Herpes either. This site isn’t funny. It isn’t satire. It’s hardcore. So sit back, visit the site frequently, and get ready to enter a new era of trustworthy journalism.
