All this is just speculation, the guy didnt see the actual console, just a powerpoint from some guy! Ill reserve my judgement for when multiple reliable outlets have the unit in their hands and can perform a meaningful analysis of it. I bought a xbox 360 and I can personally tell you that it over heats and has a power brick much larger than a PSP and DS combined that gets incredibly warm, why because I own one! Not because some stranger on a plane told me so. If you get an xbox 360 be prepared to spend an extra $20 for fans.
all free games I can play versus mabey perhaps it might break at some point in the future. I dont condone piracy but the threat of not being able to call microsoft for help if it breaks is really dependent upon them actually being helpful in the first place. Remember they didnt want to recall the xbox powercables that were overheating and burning up people's houses, yeah that helpful.
Yes I have called them, and yes its that bad, its like they were told at orientation not to answer the phone until the guy has been on hold for at least one hour. Not only are they all in India, but it seems only five of them. Ugh.
I think everyone is hung up about the PS3 pricetag, I know I am, but just looking at the features on the PS3 even excluding the Blueray functionality I doubt I will use since I dont have a HD-TV, its pretty amazing. The controller on the PS3 has motion sensitivity.
Honestly, I think the xbox360 will be this generations dreamcast, first to market, underpowered, easy to pirate games on without a modchip, and it has a controller that seems outdated to its competitors and its very very white.
And last but certainly not least, the PS3 will ship with linux and will allow homebrew applications! How cool is that? that means it can run all sorts of programs like media centers, emulators, homebrew apps, ftps whatever, and its especially cool since it has a hard drive. Its the ultimate living room computer! Sure it will have limitations, but you wont need a modchip to run something like xbox media center. I cant wait to turn mine into a little bittorrent box that streams media.
Yes $600 is overpriced, but when it comes down, and it will, to aroudn $500 I am going to pick one up. By then the homebrew community will have enough good programs to make it more than a worthy replacement to my venerable modded xbox. Notice I didnt compare it to the Wii, I think the Wii is going to sell like hotcakes and outsell both systems, though that might not necessarily be a good thing.
This is actually a good way to keep people from downloading movies, I would pay 15-20 bucks for the mobile and home version of a movie. As long as they dont charge way to much for it, and they include things like popular movies (not just nerd movies like resident evil, terminator fifth element etc) and more eclectic content like anime and television series I would be more than happy to buy this...it might even get me to consider buying a psp if it came down to the same price as a nitendo ds (around half what it is now).
our bodies contain already contain all our chromosomes and genes, forcing scientists to pay a royalty to research something we already contain is the height of patent maddnesss...they didnt create something new... it would be as if columbus made people pay him and his descendents a royalty to explore the new world.
Of course we can trust everything bush and his cronies say...look at all those weapons of mass destruction and links to al queda we found in Iraq...wait a minute...
I think we should really think critically about what the administration is telling us this time and not follow blindly like oh 70% of the country did when he wanted to topple Saddam for trying to kill his daddy.
regardless of the DRM that will be cracked within a month of release, how could I connect audio and video with one wire? Who has a 8 channel surround sound system built into their television? Stereo/speakers are on a different device than the video...but I do like the idea of not having to have a super thick shielded wire that will not be only like 6 ft long...my monitor wire is stretched to the limit right now.
Do you know any chinese, well I do...and they say that the indonesians frequently target the chinese there for racial attacks because they are in general more wealthy professionals. Would you give aid to people who have killed your ethnic group for hundreds of years? So believe it or not you dont know everything about world politics.
Knowing many chinese, they told me that the Indonesians frequently kill or burn down the houses of chinese living in Indonesia, and that goes both ways...but Chinese are the usually the victimized minority in Indonesia (they migrated there as merchants and professionals) Would we be barbaric if we didnt donate money to people who want us dead?
Having worked with both scsi and IDe offerings, It is safe the say the Seagate cheeta is within 5% of the fastest scsi drives and much cheaper and ten times easier to configure. SCSI snobs are going the way of Amiga snobs, seriously Seagate cheata drives are just as good...and scsi is way to difficult to use for the average computer user (believe me I took the phone calls)
believe it or not, other countries have many times lower violent crime rates than us...the next closest industrialized country is Italy which has a many times lower homicide rate, even without guns, and other industrialized countries have even lower rates than that. Every other industrialized country is leaps and bounds safer and have lower crime. America is a dangerous place because everybody is paranoid and armed....guns dont kill people...people who think they need guns kill people. Look across the boarder to canada...they also have lower murder rates even for murders without guns involved. We have a violent backwards culture that stresses religeous fundamentalism over scientific progress and greed over community.

Crack Found in Shuttle Tank, No wonder it gets so high and spaced out :p Also explains the exploding shuttles.
