So I get rock band for the 360...

ur dumb
i will post why in a minute

k, 360 has hd-dvd? it does? k i'm gonna go buy a 360 and put an hd-dvd in it and see if it plays, oh wait, i gotta pay $70 to get an add on drive., Ps3 has blu-ray built in, not to mention blu-ray is out selling hd-dvd, every 89 disks blu ray sells, hd-dvd sells 19. Still not convinced? hd-dvd has a total of 2 exclusive studios backing it, blu ray has...well, everyone else. it's only a matter of time my friend.

i can agree with the games, GoW is a good game and Halo 3 is good but overrated. Ps3 has a couple of heavy hitters out now and some coming in the near future.

Xbox live better be better than the PSNetwork. Considering i have to pay for xbox live and PSN is completely free. Once Home comes out for Ps3(again, still free) it will blow XBL away. ZOMG I GET ACHEIVEMENT POINTS THAT I CANT DO SHIT WITHZOMGOMGOM.

Ps3 uses a standard notebook HD, that means i can switch out any size hard drive that i want WITHOUT buying a whole new system.

agreed

you cant just stick any HD in a PS3 lol. and blue ray isnt winning the HD battle. HD dvd has the biggest supporting them and xbox live will always be better than PSonline. oh and you pay 200 more to get that blue ray in your PS3, xbox is smart enough to creat different packages like xbox core,premium,arcade,and the elite so that ppl can choose what they want based on what they will use and how much they can spend. i would rather pay 70 bucks for an HD drive and $300 for a 360, than 600 for a PS3 and a couple controllers.(and im talking about the prices at release). plus you can buy a 120 GB hd for the 360, you dont need any more, also if blu ray does win, xbox was smart enough to make the drives as add ons, so that if BR does win they can just make a drive that you plug in.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Microsoft fucked up by not offering the HD-DVD already build into the XBOX 360. This is why HD-DVD is losing the format war and soon will be gone for good.

WB will continue to support for HD-DVD until the end of May. While HD-DVD still has the 2 BIGGEST studios in Hollywood supporting HD-DVD exclusively until the summer of next year, 2009.
Also note that the Blu-Ray format is an unfinished format. Other than the PS3, BD 2.0 will not be out until October. After that point those who have a stand alone player that's not 2.0 will not be able to play new BD discs.

The only difference between 2.0 and 1.1 Blu-Ray players is that the 2.0 players can access web based features. For discs with web based features, those features simply won't work on a player that doesn't support them, but the movie and other supplements will. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

So in other words, you can still watch Blu-Ray movies with the older players in the coming years. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

PS3 FTW!!!1! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

The HD-DVD was left out to keep prices down. Which I am glad for, since I don't really care about movies overall, and there are plenty of **** good looking games that don't need all the space of HD-DVD. The PS3 is definitely a slick machine. My only gripe with it is its games, and SONY's overall attitude.

And to Gabe, I doubt the elite came in black because of the PS3. Black is pretty much the norm for any A/V equipment, and the only console to pull off white, imo, is the Wii. The bigger HD and HDMI were just a necessary evolution, and as you pointed out, should have been there from the get go. Hell, wireless should have been there from the get go as well. I'm still glad they left out HD-DVD though. I would not feel like paying another 100 for a feautre I'd never use.

you have no idea what your talking about. Microsoft didn't include HD-DVD to keep the prices down, and seeing as how they sell more 360's then PS3's any given day, I think it has worked out well for them pretty far.

It is no doubt that Microsoft had a blunder with HD-DVD, however, it isn't their fault, they should have had much better advertising and should have been very aggressive trying to get the movie companies over to their side. Don't forget that it wasn't totally Microsoft.

The PS3 obviously has more power, because of it's better internals, and the Blu-Ray is now definitely a huge plus, but the 360 has much better integration, and not to mention exclusives. GoW, Mass Effect, Halo 3 (which is not overrated...it's a great game). I'm pretty impartial, I own a 360, but have owned every companies product in the past (N64, Gamecube, Gameboy Advanced/Color, PS2, and now the 360).

It is just a better overall unit that covers all the spectrums of entertainment.

The real unit that is amazing though is the Wii. I'd wish Nintendo would have given it more power though- I've read places where companies won't make games for them because the graphics are so bad it is a waste of time.

thanks for regurgitating what I had already posted.

no shIT, it will play, and the new 360s have a HD that is 2x the size of the biggest ps3 HD. but the 360 premium DID come with hd cables, and it was 400$. the ps3 had a BD, and wireless controllers for 600$. what you FAIL to realize is that you can get a system that is every bit as good as the ps3 for $200 less and is smart enough to make add ons so that if Blu ray does win they will still be set. and i think your forgetting i have a ps3. also the 360 has wayy better games and xbox live is the icing on the cake.

the mere fact that you refer to an HD-DVD as an "HD" shows that you are 1. illiterate, 2. are 10 years old, and if you are one or both i feel bad making you look dumb so i'm not posting anymore. Have fun with your Xbox.

I wouldn't doubt that power statement. However, devs are lazy. They feel they can't pull off adequate motion sensing controls. Yet Nintendo does it flawlessly with their games, and are able to make the games look amazing, and artistic. CAPCOM has been pretty good with their past games, but other than that..ehh

Where? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

You said that the future Blu-Ray discs won't be able to work on the older Blu-Ray players, when that is 100% untrue.

No I saw an interview with the CEO of Epic, he said that it was a waste of time because the wii just isn't worth it. They asked him if it was worth making a exclusive wii game, and he said it was a big waste of time.

Bring it home, set up the drums, get everything ready to go...turn on the 360...do the rock band update...save my user profile...game freezes.
Restart the 360...3 rings of death.

k, i'll just rest happy with the fact that at any given moment your 360 will start blinking red lights //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

I'd much rather pay $100 more for a product I wont have to send in, in a week to get fixed.

btw, if 360 had an HD-DVD drive built in, the battle would still be waging over HD-DVD and Blu Ray. hell, hd-dvd would probly have the edge. but they didn't.

I'm not arguing the fact of good games. Xbox has Sony beat, but not for long. MGS4, Haze, LBP, Home, Final Fantasy will be out this year. Just make sure you set your watch and hit me back this christmas and we'll see who is in front. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

nintendo. that is why you are a moron. I can't back the PS3 when the PS2 still outsells it.

And for your information, I have had my xbox for two years, no problems at all.
