HDMI is not becoming the standard because it produces richer colors than component. There are many other technical efficiencies and capabilities is provides becuase it is digital. But producing richer colors is not one of them.
Think about that the next time you have to remind someone to turn on Full (RGB).
Using component cables is not going to be the "cause" of an inferior picture. If the PS3 has a problem with producing a quality HD image usi...
Component HD is equal or better (deeper blacks, richer colors, mostly individual preference) than HDMI.
They may use it becasue of their capture device. Additionally, component HD is probalby still more prevalent than HDMI at the moment, especially with Surround Sound. HDMI receivers still have a a lot of sales to make to catch up to component receivers/use.
PS3 fans are saving people from themselves by convincing them they should not buy Kinect.
Kinect ~$149
Move ~$100
That dumb shit you just said - Priceless
You will remain outnumbered. The PS3 has a web browseer. So you have thousands of users who have no computer and are not used to participating in civil discourse or disagreement. People who are not computer users or a part of many other online communities find this place via PS3 Web browser.
You have no chance of equaling or reasoning with the PS3 or any other "fanboy" communiity. So, just keep a good supploy of one-liners and lobby for the return of the open zone...
While I have no desire for a Kinect, not yet anyway, it seems pretty clear it's going to do well. Just the indication on other forums (non-gaming tech sites) of intent to buy is quite large. The number of people saying they're not interested in the gaming but want it for navigation is quite high too. Chalk that one up to (t)he Live! service. With so much to do on Live! having Kinect for hands-free navigation is clearly desired by many.
It will be interesting. I did ...

I can play videos from storage or stream from PC.
Xbox supports
DivX
XviD
H.264
MPEG-4
AVI
WMV
Edit: Just plug in your thumbdrive or HD and go to videos on the Dashboard. Select the USB device and select your video.
Not sure I follow you. I can't play videos from storage or stream from PC. Xvid, Divx, WMV ... Is that what you mean?
It does to people who don't like what is essentially a button masher.
Don't feel bad. I have it on 360 and it's fantastic. No complaints, no slow down, no screen tearing. Go for it.
The only problem with that is people said the same thing about iPhones re Blackberrys and Android re iPhones. There are multitudes more people that don't have a smartphone yet than all of those combined. There's plenty of room if the price and product is right.
As with all things price will be key.
The difference between WP7 and Windows Mobile is about the same as Windows XP and Windows 7.
It won't fail. It may not dominate, but it won't fail.
Because with development tools it's supposedly very easy to port from XBLA to WP7. Only controls need recoding.
Witht he XBL integration, things could get interesting. We'll see what developers do. I don't play phone or handheld games but there are some XBLA games I would play if they extended to the phone and progress was maintained between phone and console.
Good news for Ninja Theory.
A lot of PS3s sold as Blu-ray players. With BDXL hitting faster than expected, that won't help next round.
Next-gen will be interesting. I predict 32-64GB iSSD with external storage for the few with massive music video collections.
4 Gig Flash Memory, no HDD
Edit: 16GB Micro SD Flash which I'm running Castlevania: LoS from
I bought a 4G 360S as well, as soon as I was unable to unload my Elite for $130. Not a Halo player.
+1 to you.
Actually they have given up wifi, the play-n-charge is negligible. A year of Live! is cheap for what you get and I wouldn't want Live! to be free. Cheap is good enough, when it's "free" the community turns into PSN. There's already been too many articles about PSN vs Live! and the associated costs. That's not what this blog is about. It's about the storage.
The only "real" issue, is the storage issue as I see it.
I haven't played that much. Still need to get 1 million in Geometry Wars 1.
In all fairness, despite his name, his comment wasn't that bad. I think it's a good update. The limit needed to be increased. I also agree that 1000 is a "lot". Just like facebook, people with 1000 friends can't possibly know them all.
And (you) are also right, MS isn't saying add 1000 friends. If everyone did, the infrastructure would probably need some more upgrades. The 1000 number is MS saying, OK, it needs increasing, increase it enough so we ...
