@ Perkel:
You, my friend, are wrong. In order to truly "see" the difference between 720p vs 1080p, you have to have a television that's preferably, 50 inch or larger. As you sit at the same distance from the TV from 40 inch or 52 inch, you can tell the difference. What you're buying for in the 50 inch or larger 1080p tv is the clarity/resolution factor that you get as you move away from the TV. As you move away from a 1080p 40 inch tv, you will notice a pretty signi...
@ blankman & bloodysinner:
Not to flame or anything.... but you can't tell the diff. between 720p and 1080p unless you've got a LCD/Plasma tv that's 46 inch or higher. I don't think the general public knows how to distinguish true HD on a smaller tv. That's why I laugh at those people who spends the extra dough to buy a tv that's 1080p but the screen-size is only 37 or 40 inch..... LOL silly consumers that doesn't do their research.
just a side note, you can d...

it takes me about 30 hours to download the Bangbus series (which is about 12 gigs) this last weekend. I'm not waiting 30 hours to download HD movies. DD may one day be the norm. for movies/games purchases, but realistically, it just won't happen until everyone has the Verizon Fios connection that has 20-30 mbs up/down..... It's just not going to happen for awhile guys....
You know what? I'm really happy for you. Count your blessings and party on.
But let me ask you this question, if you're switching a elevator button and your customer said that the one you currently use breaks down easily and asked if you have an alternative choice. Wouldn't you switch it or replace it with a new one that doesn't have the same freaking problem so that you don't have to go back and fix it constantly (thus using your motto, work the least amt. of time to gain the ...
true, that's another perspective.
Mr. elevator-man, if the work you do as a elevator company causes a 15-30% accident rate, how do you think your customers will feel? Why, you ask does MS looks greedy? Do I really need to start listing all the add-ons that the 360 NEEDS while providing an non-dependable hardware? I'm just saying, we know that MS screwed up in rushing their consoles. Instead of a general recall on their 1st or 2nd gen. consoles with the high failure rates, they issue a send in/repair program? WTF???
whole situation is just sad. I never owned the original xbox but I don't think they had this kind of a problem with it. Now with this problem with the 360, not only does MS look like the greedy company that doesn't take responsibility by issuing a general recall, they also look like the incompetent fools that can't fix this problem 2 years after launch.
MS should really just stick with software and stay out of the hardware business..... I mean they can still compete with Sony if th...
Not to flame or anything, but I don't think sony every went away.....
Like many said before me, Sony went through their worst "publicity" year and still sold 10 million consoles. Dismissing that fact would be like dismissing how the 360 sold 20-something million units.
She's artificial. Brain-washed by Obama or not, she moved from Arkansas to New York for the sole purpose of running for the president. She hasn't done anything in NY as a senator except to raise her public image for her run at this presidency. Republican or Democrat, this is the kind of politics that needs not be in the US. This makes me wonder what can she honestly do as a president.
@ Crank:
You, get educated my friend.
Goto this link as these people know what they're talking about. What I said above is exactly what these people are talking about in greater detail. Have fun reading the post. I'm too lazy to explain the diff. to you. Bottom-line, on a smaller screen, you eyes cannot see the diff. from 720p vs 1080p. Of course if you're talking about 100 inch tv, your image will be lousy at 1080p and worse on 720p. But the optimal viewing distance ...
