[citation][nom]jn77[/nom]Why do they justify being $100 cheaper because they do not offer blu-ray...I think the last time I saw a video tap was at the thrift shop, or at the mission when I donated them to some one that could use them more than me.DVD's are not quite there yet, but they are also on the way out.With the D TV revolution, most people have 16:9 tv's now. If the console does not support 1080p it fails.Also like they said, 3 DVD's for one game, vs. 1 blu ray... Have fun switching out discs part way through the game, I think the last time that happened, I decided it was time to upgrade and donate.[/citation]
you sir are a doofus.
1. neither the xbox 360 , the ps 3 or the Wii , give "true" 1080p support xbox 360 a ps3 give said support but BOTH companies urge that gaming in 1080p was not intended (and infact quite a few 360 adn ps3 games slow down horribly when you play at 1080p )
2. most people do NOT have 16:9 hdtv's i don't know what rich boy ass fantasy land you are living in, but most of middle america is still on crt's when it comes to tv's I myself can name only one person i know that has a lcd HD tv , compared to about 30 something other people i know that only have old CRT tv's
3. switching dvd's mid game is not so bad , you make it sound like you are being asked to run a marathon , only the tubbiest , of fatest fatties, would ever find getting off thier ass to switch disk that big of a hassle.
[citation][nom]hakesterman[/nom]Sir, you are on crack Cocain. Your system isn't even in the same League as a PS3, your mind hasleft your body. You do not own the streaming video in which you are talking about, you are simply redirecting it to your system for a $ 60.00 a year prescription plus monthly Netflix Fee's. Last but not least your not streaming true HD
video through your system, your streaming an upscaled 480 video to 720P which is a far cry short of Bluray quality which is 1080P * 1920P. Further more Netflix and any other streaming video company that you maybe talking about only offers about 20 percent of their lineup in streaming Video. So please go see a doctor and get your head re-attached to your body, then maybe you can think straight.[/citation]
so wrong , net flix is not the only way to get movies on xbox 360 , i have bought several movies on xbox 360 and have them downloaded to my HDD i didnt once have to even look at net flix so your comment fails , do some research next time before talking out your ass please
hakesterman said - "I don't care if you have a $ 2,500 Pc cause you want choices, you should beable to have choices and Microsoft shoould give them to you, but they are not."
how does MS not give you choices ??? i mean shit you can choose to not buy or buy ?? whats the big f-ing deal ?? and for the record 720 p is technically high definition any thing greatr than 480p (800x600) is technically high definiton and quite hoenstly most consumers do NOT see a diference from 720 to 1080 p most consumers don't care to even try to see said diference only the most videophile users would scrutinize thier image that much.
what's more you even realise the file size foot print diference between 720p and 1080p it is enormous , few people would have a internet connetion that could handle streams at 1080p that is why most 360 streams are in 720p
[citation][nom]njalterio[/nom]For the billionth time....the Xbox 360 does NOT do 1080p in games or movies. Streaming video is NOT in 1080p. The PS3 supports blu ray, which allows for 1080p in movies. There are very, very few games available (ones that aren't very graphically detailed) on the PS3 that are rendered in 1080p. Regardless....most of you fanboys arguing about 1080p can take a hike....most of you probably cannot even tell the difference between 1080p and 720p from your TV size and viewing distance:http

actually youar e wrong on all acocunts ,
1. the 360 can display in 1080p you can adjust this from the console's system settings
2. 720p is high def , just not the highest defintion , there is no such thing as this "true high definiton" hi def , is any resolution that is larger than old crt's def of 800x600
3. 360 games can be forced to 1080p through the system options regardless of their graphical content , but MS advises against this in most cases ( i'v even done this myself on some games to see teh difference)
4. the PS3 is on teh same boat as the 360 on games , so you ahve that right , but me and many otehr gamers don't see the justified cost of the blue ray player especailly when it is a low grade (IE slow) blueray player.
that side me and many other people i know could care less about a format where the movies still cost 30-40 bucks a pop
with MS i can get their 720p hi def movies for about 20 bucks , sure it's not "1080-blow-your-fracking-eyes-out-of-your-head-P" resolution but 20 bucks for a 720p (that 1366 x 720 ) version is beter than 20 bucks for a dvd version which is only 800x600 def. and another 10-20 bucks for the 1080 p blue ray is not justifiable the 720p look pretty damn sweet enough
[citation][nom]TheRabidDeer[/nom]How exactly do you save games without a hard drive? The cheapest one you can buy is the horrible 20 gig for $60 (do they still sell it even?)I only have an X360, mostly because of being able to stream stuff from my PC to it and netflix (which wasnt available for a while). PS3 would be a waste for me since blu-ray is still so expensive to rent/buy movies.[/citation]
the acrade system comes with a biult in memory module for saving games , i have one it's module is 256 but i hear the newer arcade ones are getting 512mb modules, for saving games this is fine. [citation][nom]HappyBB[/nom]Somehow I find that Greeberg's statement as being ignorant, arrogant, and self-denial. Deep down MS would wish the Blu-ray technology matured a generation earlier so that they could take advantage of it in their machine. I strongly believe that MS will include a BD drive for their next machine. See how PS3 is not plagued by piracy, I do not doubt that MS will not want that on their machine.[/citation]
I highly doubt they will have a blu ray on the next xbox , blu ray is owned by sony for the most part , any blu ray device has to pay roalties to the companies that developed it , and sony is the main one so this would be like paying thier competition
ask me they wil likely go the "nintendo" route and develope thier own disk standard for games and built on thier streaming video service by adding 1080p movies when brodband technologies gett better
and for the record i'm nto a fanboy , jsut hate seeing all this stupid consoel gamer hate directed at ms , for the most part i play games on my pc , and occasionally games on my 360 if they dont hafve a pc version
