I don't even have a TV you insensitive Clod. I get by with my 28" 1920x1200 monitor...
The difference between a 1080p blu-ray and a regular DVD is night and day, honestly you have to be blind not to see it. Once you get used to watching movies in HD, it becomes difficult to go back to SD...
The pegged Yuan... If the Yuan were properly valued this wouldn't be so much of an issue.
If you want a comparison, I work for a manufacturer in the USA, we gave a price quote to a client of ours for $60,000 in tooling. We also do business in China when our own capacity is maxed out, the quote from China for the same tooling was $9,000... Actually, the quote was $14,000, however the owner of the company forced the engineers to lower the price to $9,000 saying it was too high. We still made the tooling locally as the quality is usually better, but that is an example of the price disparity between the USA and China.
In China it is easy for a company to make tooling and pay 10 workers to fix the tooling using hand labour then it is to take time and make the tooling right from the beginning.
If you bought a PC shortly after the PS3/360 were released with an 8800gt, your PC would still easily play any game being released today at higher graphical quality than any console... And considering the PS3 cost nearly $600 when it was released...

Solution: Get PCs and play on a LAN...
Oh wait, no LAN for MW2... only matchmaking.
Takes milliseconds and doesn't look realistic in the slightest.
I did college level calculus up to multivariable calculus in high school...
Calculus isn't exactly difficult which is why I find it odd that someone would consider it a stumbling block.
Maybe if they were forcing you to do partial differential equations as a CS major would that be a stumbling block...
You underestimate how important calculus is...
If you do anything scientific or engineering related you will have to know calculus... It's a very important field of mathematics...
Calculus??? CALCULUS??? Dear lord...
If you think calculus was your main stumbling block, you could have always taken it at a community college where the coursework would be easier...
You should be able to do 1080p with a 50mbps connection no problem.
Uncompressed 1080p requires nearly 350mbps, but of course no one would be foolish enough to try to transmit uncompressed HD to the masses.

You must be blind as a bat.
Take a look at Sins of a Solar Empire, although it's in space...

Isn't it better that we start exploiting our own oil reserves when the prices reach astronomically high levels?
The reading comprehension goes back to you.
In case it isn't clear enough,
You said Borderlands runs at 1080p on the console, I replied and told you that it didn't. You then brought up a completely tangential argument.
P.S. Some people actually like building their own computers, having control over their system/software, and running user created mods.
You mean the pigs?
So you're saying there are no fun games on the PC? They only exist on consoles?
Explain to me how to play Starcraft or any RTS on a console please.
Or again, look at Dragon Age, the game would be a PITA to play on a console because of all of the tactical decision making.
No, there isn't. Unless you have a link to prove it, there is only the Base game, Digital Deluxe Edition, and Collector's Edition.
Both the Digital Deluxe and Collector's Edition contain codes for the all of the DLC.
In fact, 2/3 of the DLC is free to begin with, the only one that costs money is Warden's Keep DLC which is included in the DDE and CE.
You said Borderlands runs at 1080p on consoles, this is false because it does not. Like other UE3 games, it runs at 720p.
Uhh, an 8800GT will run MW2 at 1080p@60fps... You can get an 8800GT equivalent card for less than $100 today...
We did this in 5th grade 13 years ago...
Nothing new, get off my damn lawn!
That's because if you actually PLAYED the game you would know why co-op wouldn't work in it...

Very few console games run at 1080p, they run at 720p or less and are up scaled to 1080p...
Bioware also made KOTOR and Mass Effect which take place in a futuristic world.
Uhh the collector's edition most definitely includes the DLC, it just has to be downloaded with a coupon code that comes with the game.
Dragon Age will have free community created mods too.
And Dragon Age is already a 100hour+ game.
