...drive, the ability to connect to the Internet, and stunning graphics that can reach HDTV resolutions.

One of the features that they both have in common is the ability to play high definition DVD's onto HDTV sets, making them high definition DVD players (as well as normal DVD plays and CD players). Even these High Definition dvd formats are in competition because the Play Station 3 plays Sony's Blu-ray high def dvd format and the Xbox 360 plays Toshiba's HD-dvd format. The way in which these two devices accomplishes this are a little bit different though. That's because the Xbox 360's ability to play high def DVD's comes from an optional HD-DVD drive that can be attached to the unit via cable, and the Play Station 3 comes with a Blu-ray drive installed.

The fact that these two devices play different High Def DVD's has brought them right into the middle of a format war between Blu-ray and HD-dvd. Both formats essentially accomplish the same thing (although there are techn...more

... through the night.

Being true to the Hollywood awards ceremony format, there were clips of video games that were played throughout the show. This was one of the highlights of the show, for it allowed the viewers to see glimpses inside the worlds of these games. I am quite certain that many viewers who had never seen any of these new games before suddenly had a new found respect for them. They even had clips of games that have not been released yet, like the new one by Tom Clancy called ghost Recon and another new one called Big Shock that is due out in the spring of 2007.

It is not by accident that the video game industry is starting to look like the film industry. Sony, who makes Playstation 3 and PSP (Playstation Portable) also makes movies for Hollywood. The film industry has been very good to Sony, and they definitely had this in mind when they created Playstation 3. In order to utilize the format and features of this console the designers of the games have incorporated many Hollywood filmmaking techniques into the production process of their video games, as have the makers of the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii games. The result is that you get games that seem like movies.

The camera angles, storylines, lighting and sound effects of todays video games are very similar to what you would see with a big budget Hollywood movie that plays in theaters. The commercials that you see on television and on the internet for the latest games are produced like movie trailers. They even have televised award ceremonies now for the video game industry that look very much like the Oscars or the Golden Globes.
