My God, Mart, that is the most profound comment I have ever heard in my life! Please, indulge me in your secrets of being so wise and witty.
It's impossible for the 360 to be HDMI 1.3 capapble since the specs for HDMI 1.3 were released after the 360 was released. Firmware updates and new HDMI cables will not make a system 1.3 capable, only hardware updates will. The only time a software update will make s system attain 1.3 is when a device with 1.3 hardware was released so fast that the developers of the device did not have time to develop software for the 1.3 output. After they have had more time, the company then releases the...
Actually, it only brings down the cost if you only want a few of the choices. It has been shown a sickening amount of times that the 360 costs more than the PS3 if you added up all of the add-ons to make the 360 like the PS3. However, you do save money if you do not want everything.
Think of it as buying products from a supermarket. A 1 Gallon carton of milk (symbolizing the PS3) costs $2. A half gallon (symbolizing the 360) costs $1.25. Obviously, if you want 1 gallon (or...
That is an outrageous price since regular good quality male to male HDMI cables can be bought for much less. I'm sure though that there will be other HDMI cables made for the 360 at a lower cost. Since it is not HDMI 1.3 though, some company might as well make a DVI cable with optical audio which would make it cheaper (though that does involve needing a compaitble TV/receiver).
Thank you for your question, and here is my response:
I reported them because it's not fair that those people get to sell to nearly 100% of the PS3 market because they violated policy. I am not selling my pre-roder, but those that are should have equal opportunity to do so. The more people that put one up early, the less PS3 buyers there are for those that waited until is was okay to put one up for sale.
That is almost enough to explain my point, but here you go:
"360 is true HD gaming."
Not including a cable doesn't make a system any less capable of HD.
"EVERYTHING on PS3 is second rate to 360, it is a true idiots system."
Your're right.
A DVD drive is better than a blu-ray drive.
VGA is better than HDMI 1.3.
The 360 3 cores are better than the Cell.
It goes on.
"it is a t...
I reported 11 early auctions last week and all of them were taken down. (It's only fair to play by the rules.)
I managed to get my PS3. I had school today, and Tuesday's are the only days in which I can’t miss classes here at UB. Anyway, my brother had off at his college and he was able to get in line (it’s my birthday so this was my gift. I guess me paying for the whole PS3 wasn’t enough :) )- 1st one at 8:15AM here in Buffalo, NY.
They did open early at 9:45 and the manager (go figure) didn't even know why 5 people were standing outside the store. When a guy in line told her abo...
This is cool news, but void in New York state? Man, I hate this place. We have 8.75% sales tax, the highest property taxes in the nation, and no better services to show for it (only more economic decline in Buffalo). Now this - I've had it!
I voted lame by accident. Anyway, it's not that the news is lame (it shows that the PS3 is a bit transparent), it's just that this news was posted already.
Solzbury, if you go back and look at my post, I did not flame you at all. All I said to you was that the PS3 interface could not be the ugliest thing you ever saw because the PSP is the same thing, and the PSP interface was seen first, meaning that the PSP would be the worst interface you ever saw, not the PS3's. That's all I was saying.
As for $80 launch prices, what would draw you to that conclusion? All news that has come out as of late has indicated that first-party titles w...
"PS3 is only £25 dearer than the PS1 launch price in the UK"
Now on top of that, take inflation into account a decade later. I think many people are just either ignorant or naive when it comes to seeing the VALUE of the PS3. Some may complain about the price, but it is unquestionably a good deal considering the capabilities of the machine.
1. "The RSX is way underpowered for 7 + 1 cores."
How do you figure considering that the specs of the RSX have not yet been announced?
2. "Didn't you read the posting from the show, over three (3) hour long lines by the Japanese to play those games."
Perhaps that's because it's at a game show :) Do you really think that it is accurate to take a poll of gamers and then assume that for the rest of the population? That is like p...
why you think that they will bite eventually? Where do you get the idea that they are drooling? History has shown that MS does not do well in Japan, and I do not think that they are about to change a generation of loyalty to Japanese made consoles just because of a few games. I mean, japan purchased just a little over 600,000 xbox1 and xbox 360 consoles combined. 20 million Sony PS2 consoles were sold there. You cannot outsell another system by that much based on game loyalty. It is obv...
I thought that the PS3 was to support 7.1 channels of audio. After all, isn't that one of the main purposes of HDMI 1.3? If you pause the screen when it goes by really really fast (I did it like 30 times), you notice that 5.1 is the highest.
If it is really 5.1, that is on that screen, could this be one of the updates that Phil was talking about? If not an update, the does this mean that the Best Buy supposed strategy plan is wrong because it has a setup plan of 7.1 audio?

Thanks for that post since I forgot to mention it above. I know some people will just say that you can go online on your PC, but it is often much more convenient to do it right where one is at (My TV is downstairs, but my PC is upstairs). This will come in handy several times.
Some situations I can already see:
1. Looking up my fantasy football team during Sunday games.
2. Checking my email from my couch instead of on my chair.
3. ...
"at least until the novelty wears out"
I agree completely, but would also add "until the PS3 and 360 price drops."
It is because the Wii has two things going for it:
1. The "novelty" you described
2. The low price
The console war is not going to be decided for a few years. The Wii will sell out early, but once PS3 prices and 360 prices drop, many people will have a harder time justifying getting ...
It is such a shocker to me too! lol
Anyway, does anyone know what the poll sample size was? The link to GameFront (in German I think) did not have the information right there. I used Google page translator, but I still could not find information on the poll at GameFront.
Thanks for the help :)
If they did make something similar, then people would just bash them for copying, even it if were not IDENENTICAL and just similar in appearance.
This is a topic on where I am not trying to prove that Sony is right here as this whole topic is basically on personal preference. I like the simplicity, you (and many I may add) do not like the looks. To me that's something I can do without as my game experience is not really enhanced by something that is not in-game. As long as the g...
"Four bubbles, five. I'll just make my posts a bit longer to tell all I have to say"
You're right. In fact, you only need one bubble to say all you have to say:
"PS3 sux."
We don't spam you for disliking something. We argue with you because you dislike anything and everything related to the PS3 without making any useful contribution to the conversation on the topic at hand. If you are going to hate a system and then come over to that...
