And it's.....(drum roll please.....)

the....DVD!!!

Neither format (hd dvd or bluray) is really needed, not for a while, in my opinion.

I think majority of the world is fine with regular dvd. I think that HD-DVD appeals more to regular people simply because it has "DVD" in it. You'd be surprised how much familiarity means to a sale.

either way it wasn't a good post.  

well by not putting HDDVD in the new elite 360 , MS has admitted defeat of the HD dvd formatZam_basic

how, they don't want to force something onto their consumers that they may not want... 

I do not own a 360. I do not plan on purchasing a 360. I am looking forward to playing Bioshock and Alan Wake.

Ok... here's the plan. I walk into, say, EB Games or Target or whatever. I go to the computer games section. I purchase Bioshock or Alan Wake. Go home, and here's where it gets interesting... I insert it into the computer! I install onto the hard-drive, and I'm set!

You should try this sometime with a game like The Sims, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Half-Life, Warcraft III, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, or Unreal Tournament 2004.

Now, I know this wasn't a very detailed DIY guide, but I'm sure you can find a guide to Windows XP or Vista in your local book store that explains the process of installation.

 

NOTE: In my Tigerdirect.com links post, I'm talking about upgrading an existing PC, not building a new one from the ground up.

[QUOTE="mlbslugger86"]do you even have a 360?l_The_DetoX_l

No, but what does that change about the fact that the 360 lacks freedom?

Yes, it does.

The x360 has freedom of choice. The PS3 does not. You get one package with the PS3 and that's it.

Apparently, One Choice = Freedom to cows.

Ohhhhhh. So being able to choose the Operating System you use, the hard-drive you use, and even the bluetooth headset you use only count as one choice???

the ps3 has one version of it's console.

the xbox has 3. choice=freedom

the ps3 makes you buy a bluray player=freedom? ha okay buddy.

That's like saying the 360 makes you buy the DVD drive. PS3's main things are Bluray, and Cell. You can't just offer to take them out.

 No...sony chose to put the bluray player in it, and force a format a lot of gamers didn't need, or want.

 then you havn't expierenced how much you can really do with the 360.

 I mean, you can even develop your own games on XNA...Stream movies and music, connect to your PC, download music, videos, etc. 

[QUOTE="musicalmac"]

I hate to say it, but the 360 makes a better media hub than the PS3. If you can disprove that statement, then do so. I suppose it's somewhat of a challenge I'm issuing here.

Skippyj9

Because of the downloadable media, Xbox 360 is a better media hub. But my point was that the Playstation 3 offers much more freedom than the Xbox 360. (Editing that to make the point more clear)

I don't care about an internet browser. My pc is right next to my 360 and my tv. Im playing GRAW 2 right now.

Bluetooth? who cares? i have my wired head set and wireless head set. I'd rather stick with those instead of going out and buying an expensive bluetooth head set that sucks.
