  1. Re:dvd drive? on Nintendo Revolution Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    ok, wow. I had that all wrong. This changes a lot. xbox is goin to be hurt by that. I mean, what are they improving on then? PS3 should be a big hit. And I would love to see Nintendo to go back to their roots, and give us something exciting. The gamecube was a failure; it wasnt exciting.

  2. Re:The heat is on... on Xbox 360 Gets Backwards Compatible, Final Fantasy · · Score: 1

    I think Xbox 360 is goin to win this one. Why? Timing! They are releasing it first. Not only that but they have a secret weapon; Halo3. We all know Halo has HUGE following, and that the next one will be released on the new Xbox. So microsoft, when oh when should you release it? How about the same time PS3 is released? hmmm....interesting. Bill my boy, you've done it agian! Although PS3 does have the Blu-ray disc, which has plenty of more support then the HD-DVD. I dont know if that will matter, but who knows! Nintendo is dead in all this. oh wait, congrats Nintendo on creating this "revolution" that I confuse with PS2. good night.

    the question isnt whether people actually play DVD's on the system....it is giving them the option of playing it. I (the consumer) will chose to buy the system with more features then the one without. Now, to set the facts straight. "Revolution" will not be using either of the next generation DVD's. oh, and XBox360 will. So Nintendo is actually the loser here. Do you know the difference between the two formats? the new generation holds 10x what a normal DVD does. That has major impact on game play. Microsoft will be using HD-DVD, and Sony will be using Bluray. Nintendo however chose to use DVD format. why? why wouldnt you use the best technology available. That is the reason the N64 was so sucessful. Didnt they learn anything from the Gamecube failure? sleek design, plays dvds, online gaming. sounds like the sales pitch for PS2. so whats new? what do you have to offer the NEXT generation?

  4. Re:A revolution too late I'd say on Nintendo Revolution Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    are you completely retarded? Nintendo has done THE worst at calling the market. They have gone from a superpower to the weakest name in 5 years. The last thing Nintendo called well was N64. They pushed the boundries of power....that is all the "market" wants. haha, Nintendo+Apple? thats the last thing they should do. hey! lets make a dying name team up with a limited computer company!
