No, because I had a choice to buy my HD-DVD.

Retailers will quit accepting shipments of PS3's if they can't sell them-- no one wants $6000.00 of merchandise sitting in their back room they can't sell, because as pointed out above, it was already bought by the retail company-- Gamestop, Walmart, etc., but now they can't get their money back. Retailers don't make money on system sales, they pay the exact amount for a system they r...
Damn, I've argued this over at the "PS3 hits 1 million shipment mark" in Sony's defense. Now I don't see how Sony fanboys have a comeback without sounding hypocritical.
See, it's very simple, a retail outlet buys directly from Sony, Microsoft, etc. at wholesale cost THEN they ship em. Sony has SOLD 1 million consoles to U.S. retailers. Now it's up to the retailers to sale them to the public at retail cost. Thus Microsoft has probably shipped over 11 million consoles world...

That was by far the lamest argument I've heard in a long time. The differences are soo trivial it won't even make an impact for U.S. in the console market. It has no bearing on what consumer are willing to pay for a better PR acknowledged and reviewed console (360). And what I mean by that is the good press 360 is getting opposed to the bad press PS3 is getting by Time magazine, Fox News, the New York Times, amongst others. Billions of mainstream consumers read these articles and perceive the...
The only reason why I'm arguing in Sony's defense is because I've used this same argument on Xbox 360 shipment/wholesale figures. It would be very hypocritical of me not to.
Shipments ARE SALES! Wholesales for Sony as retailers bought whatever the shipments numbers for wholesale thus retailers turn around and sale them for retail MSRP prices. Basically you're arguing wholesale numbers against retail sale numbers. Either way, they're sales.
Yet PS3's are sitting on shelves collecting dust. Wake up Sony, Ninty is killing you!
Nice PWN!!!
I need as much high definition content as I can get my hands on. I can't get enough of it! It's awesome. Thank you Microsoft!!!
LOL... Funny, but an accurate description nonetheless. I guess it's true... A picture IS worth a thousand words.
EA has "developed" a bad name for themselves in the last couple years. Their games focus more on quantity rather then quality and gamers know this. What's funny is what I just said, is NO shock to anybody. Once again, everybody knows this. And if you don't, you betta ask somebody!

That's a damn fine TV you have there. Excellent choice! I was going to buy that one as well. It's only $500 more than my 40" and now I regret it. These are one of those moments where I could kick myself in the ass. But gawd damn those Samsung LCD's are nice.
That's the point. I spent over $3000 on my PC only 1-1/2 years ago and it was top of the line back then. A little less than 6 months later, the superior 360 comes out and I only spent $399. How much are you willing to spend on a PC today just to have it be "inferior" 1 year from now?? BTW it plays doom 3 easily. Counter Strike Source stress test results to 156 Frames Per Second average. Yet F.E.A.R. looks and runs much smoother on 360 when I try to match 4XFSAA on my PC. It hobbles ...
My PC has two NVIDIA 6800 Ultra's in SLI mode with 2 gigs Ram and AMD FX-55 processor yet it still can't hang with my 360. $$$$

Tell me, which would you rather play???

The Wii is funner to play than 360. But at the end of the day, it's all about Xbox Live.
