Welcome to the AnimeFuel Community Forums, I'm the owner of this website Demon fox and lucky for you I'm not here to use my ninja skills on yah, plenty of time for that later I assure you. Instead I'll be telling you a little about this place.

As you should be able to tell by now you are not registered with us as of yet and probably need a good reason to do so. Between you and I we both know you're a lazy bastard and so if you don't even want to listen to the rest of my introduction speech you may as well just go register.

Otherwise here's what you can do on our forums once you've registered. When you register you will be able to chit chat in our forums, entertain yourself with games and share videos with other members. The forums allows you to get access to free downloads shared by members, fast and direct support with video problems from members and staff and make anime requests which are priortized above anyone else's.

There are many more things you can do but our aim is to bring together a community of video fans where you can feel comfortable and make lots of friends around the world. God knows you need them.

So get your butt over to the registration page and join my I mean OUR community. Oh and one more thing watch out for a crazy guy with a gun he's wandering around somewhere in these pages and you'll probably see him if you become really slack with the forum.

This message will self destruct once registration is completed.

Default Fanboy dreams do come true!

Okay, E3 has been over for a couple of weeks and the show is closed for another year, and most people will tell you that the show was kinda weak. Unless your fanboyish dream was to see Killzone or Gears of War 2, then disappointment was likely the only thing you felt. Well, I'm sure there were also moments at any of the events, like the German Gaming Convention, past E3, Japanese Game Summit, any of the developer summits, and at the Consumer Electronics Show.

So, which announments from any of these were your favorites that made you spew profanities of fanboy euphoria? This includes announcments for consoles, games, company direction and showing the progress of their company.

When Sony first announced the PS3. That was one of the greatest days of my life.

Also, when Blue-Ray won the Format War, that was a win for Sony, YEAH!

But! The greatest day ever was when they showed the first Trailer for Final Fantasy XIII. For some reason I thought they were going to stop at Final Fantasy XII, don't ask why.

It's called the Format War. And that still pisses me off, it wasn't the consumer that decided the victor. Sony was already one of the major movie studios. Besides that, they were giving cash bonuses to anyone who switched.

Yeah, but Blue-Ray was the clear winner. It holds A LOT more space than HD DVDs. I think that since no one really researched WHY Blue-Ray won and is better they get mad. Same thing with when we went from VCR to DVD, people ASSUMED that they both held the same amount of space, but what they never even bothered to look-up is that it held a lot more space and the picture looked a lot better.

You haven't paid ANY attention to the past wars, have you? It wasn't VHS vs DVD, it was VHS vs BETA. I also think it was DVD vs another format, but Sony was the loser to every format war, with exception to this one. They only won because of the studio changing to blue ray even though there wasn't that big of a gap between the two formats.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Format_war

If you look, there's another where Sony almost won, First bullet of 1990's. They beat the competitor but the consumer chose neither.

I can't even find a VHS vs DVD thing in here, which pretty much means everyone was aware that the dvd's would be better, after the change from cassette to cd player.

No, havn't been paying attention to nay format wars before I was born and eligible to read, so nothing before 1999. Thanks for the site though.

Well, it sorta makes sense. The MiniDisk wasn't prefect, but I'm sure everyone just wanted to stay with Cassettes and CDs since that's what they were used to.

Well, I was just going by what my mom said. She does have a bad memory so she might have gotten DVD confused with BETA or something.

Could be. I know that there was a pretty devote following to the BETA cassettes while it lasted.

I heard the reason Betamax lost was because the didn't allow porn to be produdced on them and because the didn't hold as much space but they had higher quality. I didn't watch G4s coverage E3 this year so I don't know what was announced.

VHS which won but it was mainly because of the run times.
