Seriously. My Sega Saturn can do this but a console out in 2015 can't play these discs? Come on Microsoft...

 

[Dicer]

I don't think anything past maybe the PS2 can play them

 

[webkatt]

WTF is CDG?

 

[RaySpencer]

WTF is CDG?

Yeah, I had to look it up, haha.

Its apparently a CD that has pictures on it or some bullshit. hahaha

WTF is CDG?

CD+G(raphics)

I had the Jimi Hendrix and Information Society ones, neat stuff

I'm pretty sure none of the Xboxes supported this. They don't even download metadata info for audio CDs.

 

[ChoklitCow]

I assume because the cost of licensing outweighs the actual useage.

 

[show me your skeleton]

because nobody else cares.

 

[Qblivion]

Because Big Karaoke lobbied so that only their own machines can play it.

Damn, apparently there were MP3+G's and WMA+G's too. This shit had potential... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3+G

Because Big Karaoke lobbied so that only their own machines can play it.

Can you give a source on this? I've always wondered why CD+G just came and went despite having support from major publishers.

 

[Pancake Mix]

It seems that no PlayStation console played them, nor the final Sega console, the Dreamcast for that matter. Just saying that the Sega CD or the Sega Saturn played them is leaving out the important info of few disc-based consoles doing so, and none with a first release date anywhere in the world after 1994.

 

[AcePartyN7]

because nobody else cares.

This! you should find what you are looking for on youtube.

 

[Skelter]

Because Big Karaoke lobbied so that only their own machines can play it.

I'm more surprise to find out there is a big karaoke lobby.

Unless you're kidding.

 

[Lirrik]

They don't even download metadata info for audio CDs.

I am pretty sure both Xbox 360 and Xbox One do this.

 

[RoslindaleOne]

Good thing you still have a Saturn for that.

 

[FyreWulff]

I'm more surprise to find out there is a big karaoke lobby.

Unless you're kidding.

Follow the money.

And the red bouncing ball.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

I've never even heard of the format until this thread- that should be your answer right there. What on earth would you possibly need to look at on a CDG that you can't accomplish with any myriad of media solutions.

Edit: oh it's a karaoke thing. Isn't that what youtube is for? lol

[PAULINK]

Sega saturn confirmed better than xbox one.

 

[RexNovis]

I demand to know why my PS4 doesn't play my Betamax movies.

Spoiler

I can't believe CDGs are still a thing that exists.

 

[Justinh]

I feel silly that I used to be disappointed that my HD-DVD addon wouldn't work with the Xbox One.

Spoiler

I still wish it'd work somehow...

 

[Vitacat]

I'm surprised anyone even remembers CDG's.

 

[chronic_archaic]

Sega saturn confirmed better than xbox one.

That's probably true... but the Sega Saturn is better than every console this gen.

 

[Alphahawk]

Aren't their like 5 titles for this that weren't Karaoke discs, it was a pretty big market failure as I recall.

 

[daviyoung]

Can you give a source on this?

holy fuck lol

 

[JAV Actress]

I feel silly that I used to be disappointed that my HD-DVD addon wouldn't work with the Xbox One.

Spoiler

it works

its just called blu ray now and requires you to buy the discs again in the new format.

 

[pizzacat]

My copy of Lotr hddvd is obsolete fucking get on this mircosoft

 

[soulassssns]

Being that barely anyone even knows what that is should answer your question on why.

 

[DMczaf]

GD-ROMs?

 

[GavinGT]

Why on earth would you want this?

 

[Ivan Amiibo]

you think that's bad? PS4 doesn't even play VCDs.

 

[univariate]

I'm more surprise to find out there is a big karaoke lobby.

Unless you're kidding.

Are you for real? Sarcasm, man.

 

[DownGrader]

holy fuck lol

I'm not good at sarcasm detection

 

[Alphahawk]

But it is a shame that CD+G died Now we'll never know what say the lead singer of Kean's top ten Spock quotes are.

Even though they were one of the first to embrace this technology I had a feeling Information Society was even hurting for content to fill the thing up.

 

[blame space]

holy fuck lol

Yeah that post came out of nowhere

 

[HykCraft]

Seriously. My Sega Saturn can do this but a console out in 2015 can't play these discs? Come on Microsoft...

Because it's a Blu-ray player...

C'mon now..

 

[8bit]

My Xbox One just chewed up my shellac 5" single, what the fuck man?

 

[TechnicPuppet]

What makes this even worse is that the Wii U has Napster now, MS ain't even trying.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Hell. The PS4 can't even read cd's and you're complaining about an obscure format like cdg's? Come on now.

 

[AmyS]

Haha.

 

[EvB]

Why won't my Xbox one play mini laserdisc? Seriously MS this is bullshit

 

[hateradio]

The gall of M

Spoiler

$

to do this. They can't even bother to license the format!!!

 

[nekkid]

WTF is CDG?

Yup, that's probably the reason.
