Publisher: NextGenVideos.com
If you couldn't get your hands on some passes to E3, or you're a casual gamer who wouldn't want to shell out money for plane tickets and show passes, this DVD is for you. Contained is exactly 2 hours of the most professionally produced DVD of E3 game coverage out there. Over 70 games spanning all four next-gen systems (Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, X-Box) are featured using direct feed footage. Game shots are supplimented with interviews from design teams and production heads.
NextGenVideos.com is a company that only recently came into the DVD market. Before The Future of Videogames they made VHS and VCDs (Video CDs) of other prominent videogame shows. You might not be familiar with the VCD format because the format never really fell in favor in the states. The video quality was not only worse than VHS, but also a VCD held less footage than VHS. Most VCDs can be found in China, Brazil, Japan and other widespread software pirating nations. Now NextGenVideos.com is sticking to DVD, it looks like, and good for them.
Since the company originates from Queensland, Australia, there is a question of regional compatibility. No worries mate, this DVD is encoded to be 'Region Free' to ensure international compatibility.
The DVD features over 70 games for all of the Next Generation systems: Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox and Gamecube. DVD extras include scene selection, animated 3D menus and Dolby Digital Stereo with Dolby Soundtrack (not bad for a small operation).
The DVD sells for $24.95AUD (approximately $13US at current exchange rates) plus shipping and handling (fixed at $5AUD/$3US via regular airmail) to anywhere in the world. Payment can be made in the form of cash, credit, check or Paypal. More information can be found at NextGenVideos.com's website, (what else than) www.nextgenvideos.com
