And that's different from 2D games how?
Yep.
"Well, I'm talking about the Xbox 360 specifically"
You said Microsoft wouldn't release something that doesn't work. So maybe you should be clear in your thinking before commenting then.
I was never arguing with you. You just left out relevant information.
Much of what I said is on the public record out of MS own mouths and what has actually happened despite the forecasts of those same people that are responsible for Nat...
Moving to the UK from NA so we have been comparing prices quite extensively. Complete nonsense.
Food turns out to be cheaper, cars are similar or cheaper, electronics are comparable, kitchen appliances are cheaper for better quality, game prices are comparable, consoles are given away with phones so they are actually cheaper for both in the UK.
And most of the time that is already including the VAT in your prices.
"They know they messed up with that so I don't count on them making another mistake like that."
Vista?
MS has a recent history of dumping not ready for prime time products on people. Major franchises in fact.
I don't believe they will do that with Natal. However I don't believe it's the second coming as the media will portray it to be. I'm being serious when I say I saw that ricochet game 25 years ago on an Ami...
I assume you mean disc based games also available as downloads?
PS3 Games like Warhawk and GT:P have been available for several years as downloads from PSN so their is no should be coming in your statement. They are already there. If you meant more should be coming then that's a different story
"but it seems that the console approach could be defunct in as little as five years."
Fixed.
You can set up your own servers and reserve slots for your buddies so playing with a group of buddies is easy.
The game still had hundreds of servers available over 2 years after it launched.
There was never anything disappointing with Warhawk other than all good things must end. More fun than most games put together this generation.
"40inch tv 15feet away"
Your 1080p is pretty much wasted then. At that distance 720p and 1080p are all but indistinguishable.
2X the screen height is about the maximum you should be sitting to get the benefits of the increased resolution.
At 4X you might as well be playing a 720p console game. Your eyes can only resolve a certain amount of detail at a given distance.
I suggest you fix your seating arrangement to g...
You will have to wait for the Fall movie update and 3D porn update for that little hobby.
Let's hope history doesn't repeat itself.
Shipping half-baked hardware early just to beat the competition for marketing reasons. We know where that ended up for their customers. And we know the media won't give them the straight goods until it's too late.
The problem is when you buy your first one you start building up a library of games which are often if not usually more money spent than the console. So you get stuck in a vicious cycle of paying the repairs each time or ditching your library and having to re-buy on other consoles etc. Or buying another unit when you realize they are sending you refurbished units that already failed before.
Know somebody who is on his 6th unit. He just felt stuck because he couldn't bite ...
"the 360 has double the RAM of the Ps3!"
No it doesn't. Should refrain from calling others fanboys with disinformation like that.
"Ps3 has more cores but they are to compensate for lower RAM"
It has more core because it has more cores and that was the design. The SPU cores are a completely different design than the cores in the 360. PS3 has the same RAM not lower.
You also forgot to mention 256MB of t...
I see partly where your coming from. I just think you mixed too much other stuff in there. Marketing and hype are somewhat parallel operations to development although they take money away from development.
Definitely too much hype.
"I just want these people to get it done. then ill decide if it works. "
No you won't decide. You will lay your money down and THEN find out it doesn't work as advertised.
That's the exact mentality that ended up in the RROD and DVD and no standard HDD etc.
Instead of spending it on the product they spent all the money on marketing/lawyers to hide and paper over the reality of the situation. Finally had to fess up to the...
supports fat and slim. There is a video on the twistdock site
Same people that can afford a HDTV.
They might be able to answer your questions on Blu-ray.com.
I'd avoid AVS for anything related to Blu-ray as you can't trust their information.There are so many trolls given a blind eye by the mods when it comes to Blu-ray in particular.
"It's possible but the transmission is really slow between the two pools of ram im told."
Yeah it "slows" down to the same 700Mhz the 360 uses for ALL it's RAM. Because only HALF of the PS3 RAM runs as "slow" as the 360.
The 256MB XDR RAM runs @ 3.2 GHZ which is 4.5X FASTER than the 360 RAM. 4.5x FASTER.
All of a sudden it starts to sink in why UC2, GOW3, GT5, KZ2 are heads and shoulders above. Not to me...
