Someone sure is in denial. HD DVD was dead a year ago. Its corpse just hasn't been buried yet. The Warner announcement is the final nail in the coffin. Now someone dig a hole so we can finish it already.
That sounds like a copout for Microsoft's huge problem. Sure nobody should play games all the time but Xbox gamers have to pay for online gaming and what if you only have one day a week to play online and it's down when you want to play?
As for what to do while Xbox Live is down, they could always get a PS3 and play online on it.
I can't agree with you less. First, Vista was about better security but it was also about a lot more. At least it was promised to be. Slowly though Microsoft dropped one big feature after another. It was finally nothing more than a fancier XP. And with less hardware and software support.
As for the 64-bit version, that was one reason I upgraded to Vista. I wanted to finally have a 64-bit version of Windows. Huge mistake. If you don't mind poor driver support go ahead and instal...
"He was right to disagree with you because you are wrong, a simple fan switch cannot get you banned. It will simply void your warranty, the modification that will get you banned is reflashing your DVD drives firmware to play pirated games."
No, you're wrong. Microsoft can tell when you mod the 360. Even a simple fan swith can show up. I just warned people. For your terrible post you get a big disagree from me.
Anyone who plays on Xbox Live should think twice before doing something like this. Microsoft can tell when you've modded your 360 and they might ban your 360 if they notice it isn't running the way it should. Just a warning.
Hey idiot who disagreed with me, get a life. I'm telling the truth on this. Micrsoft can tell when you mod your 360. They will ban your 360 if they detect you modded it. Go ahead and do it if you want but remember they can tell.
"kinda makes me wanna get a PSP Slim .... unless an original can do this?"
It looks like the old PSPs can do this fine. Just not hook to a TV and watch that way. I've been looking for a good reason to start buying Blu-rays instead of DVDs. I think I just found it.
"when was the last time you bought a CD?"
I bought a music CD around a month ago. The new Eagles CD. But they were smart. It's two CDs and only $11.88. You can only buy it at Walmart though. But that's a great price. Maybe more people would buy CDs if the price was dropped. CDs have been the same price for years. If you want more sales maybe drop the price.
One reason I want CDs though is my car is ten years old so it can't play MP3's in the stereo. And...
Do you think that would work though? How fast is the interface between the memory stick slot and the real RAM? I think I'd rather buy a new PSP than deal with that. If I cared about a feature that didn't work on my old PSP. I don't care about using Skype so it doesn't matter.
Now you have four disagrees. A lot of idiots on this site. I've posted things before that are just fact and no kind of attack and got disagrees. It's stupid. I don't see a single problem with what you wrote. I wish it would tell who disagreed with you so you could just start clicking on disagree on all their posts.
I don't like digital downloads at all. I've had to help too many people I know deal with downloaded software. Mostly anti-virus software. They let you download it but then it's more complicated to install. At least for the average user. Better to just buy the CD version. At least you have a disc to go back to if you need it.
As for movies, no thanks. If you only want to watch it once get it on pay-per-view. If you want it for your video library buy it on a disc. I don't think d...
"if you didn't see the great games released this year"
This isn't about 2007. That was last year. It's about this year, 2008. And 2008 is the Year of the PS3. No other console will be able to match what the PS3 has coming out this year. Don't expect Halo 4 or any other big 360 game to come out. This is the second year of the PS3. Last year was the 360's second year. This is the year the PS3 will start to show what it really can do and when it does gamers will line up ...
What a joke. Robbie Bach says it so it must be true. The PS3 will rule 2008. I just say way too many huge PS3 games coming out this year. What does the 360 have this year? So far I don't see anything big.
"Thank you Konami, for this PS3 exclusive."
That probably should be thank you Kojima-san. He is the one who wants it as a PS3 exclusive. If he'd agree to making a 360 version Konami would be happy. But it's his game and he gets what he wants. I won't be surprised to see a 360 port later on but it will be without Kojima's help. And it won't be very good. So any real MS fan should buy the real version. The PS3 version.
This is why developers are better off not showing unfinished games. This is a non-story but gets written about. Is that site an Xbox site? I've never heard of it before. Framerate issues are usually worked on later in development. Sometimes problems are caused by other issues that will be fixed.
I think you miss the importance of having an HD drive in the consoles. I could care less about it for movies myself. I see it more for games. Soon Blu-ray will help PS3 games be a lot bigger. If you want everything to be high def you need lots of disc space. DVD can only go so far. Sure they can compress everything but compression hurts the quality of the graphics and even the audio. In the near future the PS3 will just start to pull away because the games will look so much better and be bigg...
But how much would the Ultimate cost? The biggest problem I saw with it was it would cost more than the PS3. Sure it would have a built-in HD DVD player but you wouldn't be able to use it for games. It would be for movies only. Microsoft should have delayed the 360's launch six months and included an HD DVD player in it from the start.
This is why I chose the PS3 over the 360 though. Sure, right now the 360 is selling better but over the next five years having Blu-ray in the PS...
I find this story hard to believe. I doubt the Ultimate was killed just because Warner chose Blu-ray. And I doubt the Ultimate would have swayed Warner. If the 360 came out from the start with HD DVD so all 360s had one then the battle would have gone the other way probably. I guess Toshiba can blame Microsoft for killing HD DVD.
I use Firefox and IE7 both. Just depends on which I feel like using. Sometimes things don't work right. I have a Vista laptop and the biggest problem is Flash player crashes IE7 a lot. That's really annoying.
Why wouldn't Sony allow it? They are in business with Toshiba anyway. The electronics industry is strange. Sony and Toshiba worked with IBM to create the Cell processor in the PS3. They're partners. But they have competing formats. Toshiba wins and loses every time a PS3 is sold.
That's what I was thinking. Folding@Home is doing lots of great work. Microsoft must have looked into how they can make themselves look good too. Lets make some crappy terminal. We can use all those screwed up 260s everyone is sending back. If these sick people get the RROD on a free terminal what are they going to do to us?
