~Microsoft thread~

You didn't answer us yet. I don't have Halo 2. I only have Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 3.hisfamily

So, does anyone else wonder why does the 360 have so many bad games? For instance...

• Yaris (I got for free)
• Undertow (I got for free)
• The History Channel's Battle for the Pacific (I got for $50)
• The History Channel's The Civil War: A Nation Divided (I got for $50)
• Fuzion Frenzy 2 (I got for $25, still overpriced)
• Hour of Victory (I got for $60)
• Totemball (I got for free)
• Earth Denfense Force 2019 (I got for $50)

I could go on, but the list would grow long and my memory is faulty at the moment. Also, is it just me, or does it seem like the companies also either try to rip us off with high prices or sometimes just try to appease with free, cheaply made games? At least the system has a lot of good games, though.

I'm still confused as to why people took a liking to BluRay. I mean it's just Sony's way of trying to gain a stronghold in not just the videogaming market against Microsoft, but also in the electronics department. Everyone I've talked to in the electronics buisness says the HDDVD format is what they think is the better HD disc. Plus, Blu-Ray means higher prices b/c it isn't automatically backwards compatible and has to be upgraded to play original DVDs and CDs. Just look at how they had to make the PS3 bigger to fit in the PS2 capability. The system also costs about $150 more than the 360 and that's when you add on the cost of the HDDVD drive for the 360. So, if the BluRay format really does win (which I wouldn't be surprised if history repeats itself, again...), the HDDVD disc has still captured my heart in this format war.

As anyone else heard about that 100 gig USB memory chip, or did I misunderstand what I saw somewhere? I think your idea could work if we have big enough memory USB drives to store all our movies on.Bakalou

I think I saw it as an article for CNet.com just below my profile thing at the page top and the 100 gig memory chip (I assume its for a USB...) was due to come out this year...Bakalou

i envision, in a couple years, that cds will be gone and we will get all entertainment media from the internet or sold on small cards, maybe it will be SD cards, maybe not.comradex

I'm not going to bet, movies are already on DVDs, not CDs...

actually i would! my "bet" would be that 10 years from now media formats will not be on cds. anyone care to take that bet?comradex

You make it sound like you betting with him... :P

You make it sound like you betting with him... :P

comradex basically said that by ten years from now, discs will be obsolite and you made it sound like you were betting on the same thing...

So, do you think the era of movie theater going will eventually come to an end someday soon? Or will studios kling to their money mongul theater system?Bakalou

yeah i think they will, but their gonna have to put some new technology into it like holograms or something to keep people into it.

@mcm: im glad someone can see reason around here!
