If I wanted a movie player, I would buy a standalone, Words cannot describe how little I care about thier "gimped" HDMI, not nearly as bad as the 40gb GIMPED playstation 3crispytheone88

The 40 GB PS3 is WAY more of a better offering than the Xbox 360 Elite even. It includes built in Wi-Fi, HDMI 1.3 and a freekin Blu-ray player, with free online of course.

Sad, just sad. Microsoft has souped up their Xbox 360 console, only have gimped HDMI. This means NO support for the new gen audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD or any 7.1 audio for that matter. It also means NO support for the new international color standard, xvYCC color, which allows for 80% more colors to be displayed on the screen. Also, NO support for DeepColor, which allows for color bit depths of up to 48-bit for the elimination of color banding.

Looks like PS3 has this over the Xbox 360 and caters better to the A/V enthusiast. This is probably because the X360 uses only DVDs and cannot handle the extra capacity to store high bit color depths and 7.1 audio. :lol::lol::lol:
