[QUOTE="lilmaniac2, post: 4834240, member: 565395"] I didnt claim it was perfect, but you can read my thougths pretty clearly. alot easier than you can in one gian paragraph maybe you meant a different word, but when you said that it having a hd-dvd player was asinine which btw means 1. foolish, unintelligent, or silly; stupid: It is surprising that supposedly intelligent people can make such asinine statements. is not. it is futureproofing your console. In 3 years when std def dvd's have gone the way of the VHS tape you will understand why they should have had it. Proper marketing/strategy is far from an asinine thing. When the ps2 came out, it was the cheapest dvd player on the market and was used to play ps2's by a number of its users. I know people who purchased them after they were launched when the price fell as a dvd player. using big words doesn't impress me. Just give up your argument, fact of the matter is the 360 is a good gaming system, but if they wanted to market it as a true next gen console, its not a penny cheaper than a PS3. PERIOD. You cannot argue that. The 360, with all the accessories it SHOULD have, even with out the HD-dvd player, is MORE than a PS3. Period. I can do the math if you want, but its not CHEAPER quit saying it is. And the lifespan of a rechargeable AA battery is less than that of the ones used in the ps3, due to the charging mechanism used.
