I notice XBOX fans love to comment that XBOX 360 can have HD-DVD and HDMI if they buy their elite model. I'd love to know the cost of trading in your old xbox 360 for a xbox 360 elite then buying a HD-DVD Drive? Wouldnt the price be getting up to that of around a PS3? It's great that Microsoft has brought out the HD-DVD drive for the Xbox however they have brought it out with HDMI 1.2. So IMO you won't be getting the true benefits from HD-DVD, and if your buying HD-DVD Movies aren't you buying it for the best possible picture, otherwise why wouldn't you just stick with DVD's.
Below info Source: www.techpowerup.com/

-non-interlaced fps higher then 60 at 1920x1080 (1080p/xx) and 1280x720 (720p/xx); up to 120fps is possible with HDMI 1.3
· no Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD or TrueHD audio bitstreams (specifically for the Xbox 360 and Elite: no 5.1 PCM output in general, just Stereo)
· lower maximum bandwidth: 4.95 GBit/s vs. 10.2 GBit/s
· lower maximum resolution: 1920x1080 vs. 2560x1440
· lower maximum color depth: 24 bit sRGB or YCbCr vs. 48-bit xvYCC (1.8 times the amount of colors)
· no advanced audio syncing (Lip-Sync) function
· no support for the newly developed mini connector

Just a matter of time when a exclusive ps3 title comes out
in 1080p and obliterates Gears of War and Halo3
360 is a piece of obsolete junk Mircosoft are selling.
I assume there would be alot of xbox360 consoles at cash converter's.

iddqd said: H4mmersmit, why do you think that 360 games made over a year ago look better than PS3 games now? Do you think the people developing games like PGR3 and Perfect Dark Zero had any more or less experience with the 360 back then than the developers have with the PS3 now in 2007? Of course they didn't. The whole "they just haven't had time to nut the PS3 out" thing, is a lie. When you think about it, it makes no sense. As YourMum said (lol, that doesn't sound right...), whenever Sony knows they've been beaten, they just slap on the "but it's got Bluray" band-aid like as if they think Bluray justifies all of the PS3's faults...



And then next week Microsoft announces an internal Bluray drive with upcoming 360s...

As for Stonecolds comment... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!1!1!1 Obsolete? The PS3's the one with an outdated GPU that's older than the 360's... (you heard me, OLDER)

Stonecold, you're a ten year old with Aspergers syndrome! ADMIT IT!! This is like when you said the PS3 runs two 8800gtx's... LEAUXL!

You think the PS3 is better just because some 360's have overheated?

I've had mine since the release back in March last year, and it hasn't skipped a beat... the whole 360 overheating thing was way blown out of proportion. You can't like the PS3 very much if the only reason you bought it is because it's got less chance of overheating than the 360? I wouldn't sacrifice the better games on 360 for a PS3, just because a few 360's have overheated, and there's a chance that mine will... I've got the EB extended warranty anyway, so who cares? If it overheats, they gimme a new one. Simple. Anyone who was stupid enough not to get a store warranty deserves to have to send it to Microsoft.

Thats just one reason why i think the PS3 is better, there are more reasons that appeal to me personally (wifi, HDMI v1.3, blu-ray, free online play), as well as the other people that bought PS3's, and 360 fan's too i'll bet that just couldnt afford it.

Gee did i say that? I dont recall ever having so. You were just pointing out how super awesomely cool!?!?!!1!!1! the 360's GPU is and i pointed out micro$oft's shoddy design flaw, allowing it to overheat so much it actually melts the solder within the console.
Oh well, i guess thats what you get when siding with a second rate video card manufacturer to cut corners.

I'm jealous of worse graphics? No games? ****ty controller? Bad online?

I don't think so, Tim... The PS3 is a horrible console. I'll get one maybe if there's some good exclusive games, but for now it's just Japanese **** like MGS4... The 360's 2007 lineup makes me dribble. Why would I pay a thousand dollars when I've got it all and more?

Jciardi, I've been a part of this community since long before MyPS3 even existed... why don't you go somewhere else? And yes! I am bored of the 360... I have to wait until August for the good games to start rolling in! But believe me, I'd be even more bored with a PS3

And Dante, I played Oblivion over a year ago, lol!

Lol if you love your 360 so much then why don't you go and play it? Go and touch it! Oh I see, instead of playing with your beloved 360 you decided to come here and diss the PS3?

Seriously man, that is LOW. Go to your 360 fanboys' sites and get a room; talk about how you love much you love your 360s and how you're going to marry it.

IDDQD you say the PS3 has worse graphics? Quote from IGN RE" Oblivion "Among the best looking PlayStation 3 titles released thus far and a step up compared to the Xbox 360 version" You say it has no games? Wonder what the things I play are called then? Bad Controllers? They are almost the same as the PS2 controller made transition from PS2 to PS3 seamless for me, and the wireless really just a plus. Bad online? I have bought a number of games online it was easy and fast, and I play motorstorm online without a problem. Also never had a problem connecting online have tried it with wireless and cat 5. I love the Jap games one of the reasons i bought a PS3, Final Fantasy looks great as well as MGS4. It's fine to criticise but where are your facts?

Actually all the graphical updates in the PS3 version of Oblivion have been applied to the 360 version when SI was released, lol, look it up if you don't believe me... never trust IGN. And it's been out for over a year on 360... I've played Motorstorm, F1 and Carbon on PS3 with three different Sony Bravias (in different shops)... the colours just look all washed out and overly bright. And the Xbox 360 has a better GPU and RAM, no ****. The PS3's hardware was obviously finalized looooong before the 360 came out... hence the bad graphics. That's the only plausible reason I can think up as to why they'd use a Nvidia 7800... either that or they just weren't thinking.

When I said PS3 has no games, I meant it has no decent games... but that's a matter of opinion... even though most of its games are just recycled from the 360...

And yes, the controller is horrific! It gave my hands cramps, it's the same shape as the PS1 controller with springy triggers (stolen from the 360) and motion sensors (stolen from the Wii...)! That's ridiculous! I mean, they say it's a next gen console, why are you using a controller that's over a decade old? And the position of the D-pad is laughable... there's this thing called "ergonomics", they discovered it around the seventies... the 360 controller was built with humans in mind.

And yes, bad online... what can I say, you get what you pay for... and considering you don't pay anything for the Playstation Network, that says something... also, I like to keep in touch with my friends, and being able to invite them to games and chat with them while they're playing and such... not having voice chat in all games isn't what I'd call a plus either...

Yes it is fine to criticize, but where are your facts?

IDDQD you opinion doesn't count as fact. "Never trust IGN" so you are also saying that the "Press Average" is also wrong? I think you should be writing in to the 40 other websites and advising them of their mistakes? Better let them know that their aren't any good games for PS3. You could also argue that XBOX games are just recyled PC games? My facts? Look up above regarding HDMI, (1.8 times the amount of colors)yes PS3 is very pretty and it's great having blueray out of the box. I think the important games have voice like motorstorm etc, my bluetooth headset works great? Hmm does XBOX have bluetooth?

Guys don't bother arguing with this 360 hero, he's too 360ed and everything that comes into his mind will come out as "The 360 can beat that" Also we shouldn't interrupt his hourly visit to the Xbox 360 shrine.
