They even tried to get cable companies to use it as a set top box. Can you imagine how disastrous that would have been?
Most 360 gamers don't know any better to complain (they actually defend Microsoft's RROD!) but imagine the public outcry if 65% of cable customers stopped getting TV!
-------------------
ps. If you're wondering why I said 65% percent is because that includes 2nd and 3rd year first time failures as well as repeat failures experienced...
The reason you're not showing them is because you, like I and everyone else, know that Mass Effect 2 on the 360 is not even the best looking game on the 360.
Yet even the best looking game on the 360 is nowhere near Killzone 2. Not even remotely close.
But, just as was the case with Forza 3, you morons will continue to rant about how amazing it looks and blah blah blah.
So predictable.
The actual actress is certainly good looking but a bit bony and lacking in muscle tone. It happens to a lot of people, men and women, once they grow out of the party phase (which, ironically, is when they tend to be the most fit). Looks like they smoothed out her body and made her a bit curvier and toned in the game.
It's remarkable how well they reproduced the facial features.
I'm split regarding the hair style.
@VulcantProject
360 version has the following attributes:
-Horrendous frame-rate
-Low polygon character models
-Last gen animation
-Poor textures
In contrast, here's a different game which shows much better modeling with far more polygons.

But 3 discs?
That's just silly.
I still remember swapping out floppy discs on my old Apple. lol
Who'd have thought that in 2010 some people will still be swapping dis...
Too bad about the graphics. This game looks best rendering dark environments where it's improved lighting system can be shown off and the lack of texture and polygon detail is hidden. In bright scenes like the following it's impossible to hide the lack of detail.

Although it's entirely possible that the GT Academy is using souped up PS3.
If those are stock PS3's (ie., no RAM upgrade to support higher res textures) then surely Yamauchi has made a pact with the devil.
It's incredible to think that the equivalent of a 7900GT is pump out those visuals at 60fps!
Cell power indeed!
No one's going to confuse this footage for CGI.
4x more polygons? Give me a break. The gameplay graphics are straight out of Halo 2.

In contrast, thanks to the Cell and the hybrid processing architecture, the PS3 puts out better looking games every year.
Natal, like Microsoft's "avatars," is just Microsoft's attempt to copy what the Wii has done except without the tactile feedback and with a lot more lag.
2) Google is not a software company (they don't sell software)
3) Sony does not sell any appliances in North America. Maybe you're thinking of LG and Samsung.
That means you (Skimming) are wrong on all counts.
Here's reality:
Sony has developed and patented far more algorithms touching a wide array of high-end computer electronics and computing applications.
Microsoft is just a generic software development company that simply c...

That's why Microsoft has taken out important components like the processor.
The performance is predictably dreadful. The internet is simply not fast enough for this.
With the cost of retail consumer hardware continuing to drop faster than developers are finding ways to use it effectively, Onlive has to be far cheaper and more convenient than current solutions in order to succeed.
Onlive's best chance of success is as an add-on to ISP services at $15/month and have their service hosted at each ISP's datacenter.
This is the only ...
Valve's incompetence is obvious.
