SCEA VP Wants More Content On Disc, Not DLC
Written by Going Pro Gaming Posted on May 22, 2010, 4:50 pm
Fewer changes in the gaming industry over the past few years have caused more debate than the rise of downloadable content — and even hardware executives are chiming in. Speaking to Gamasutra, Sony Computer Entertainment America vice president Rob Dyer explained why he wants to see more content going on discs and less sold later on the Internet.
“That way, 100 percent of the users are going to get it. 100 percent,” Dyer said. “What are we, north of 70 percent [of PS3 owners] on the [PlayStation Network] now? 73, I think. Microsoft probably the same… [That's] still a significant number of people that aren’t able to get [it], whether they don’t have broadband, whether they just flat out can’t get on the network. Whether or not you do it, they’re not using it. I want it on the disc, that way when they buy it, they get it. So, if I can do that, that’s great.”
Still, Dyer also acknowledged why DLC does remain a component in today’s videogame market. “Now, you can talk about why DLC is important to help limit the used game business and to keep people holding onto [the game],” he said. “I’m all about that, too. I love that. But I want it on the disc so that 100 percent out there that can play this thing.”

Spiritual Guidance: Holy? Disc? We’re all priests
Written by Going Pro Gaming Posted on Mar 15, 2010, 1:45 am

In the column Spiritual Guidance she offers advice to holy and discipline priests on how to wield the holy light, with style.
When I first started raiding, it was in late Burning Crusade. At the time I fancied myself a PvPer, shying away from raids due to attunements, and the long gear climb I’d have to perform in order to catch up with friends doing tier 5 content. Despite this, sometime during tier 6, a friend of mine convinced me to come along to a raid. How he convinced the raid leader though, I can’t imagine. I remember standing there in my resilience gear, surrounded by players in their various shiny gear sets, and asking myself over and over, “what am I doing here?” I sheepishly put my talents into the holy tree, and tried to arrange my bars to accommodate the spells I hadn’t cast in months. I was out of my element.
And then I saw Baba. She was beautiful.

Monster Hunter Tri demo disc will be available to all
Written by Going Pro Gaming Posted on Feb 25, 2010, 5:45 pm
Capcom’s Monster Hunter Tri was a big focal point at yesterday’s Nintendo Media Summit, but there seems to be a bit of confusion surrounding the demo disc shipping March 8. It turns out, that isn’t the GameStop pre-order incentive it was made out to be. Instead, the demo disc will be free for all — a GameStop pre-order will net you a card with 500 Wii Points on it.
As for getting the demo disc, you’ll be able to walk into any GameStop location and grab one starting March 8.
