how many games do you know that sony has released in blu-ray or even plan on using blu-ray for?

 

Who said I was playing games?

 

well i wasnt talking about using blu-ray for movies, because they've already done that

 

Wrong.

Ok, so what's your point? If I dont care about games, why would I care about a game in blue ray or on a blue ray?

 

right off your site.

 

because we're talking about xbox 360 and PS3?

 

k...Still dosent change this fact:

Seriously, just back away from this thread...

 

Ok, now you're just being a complete moron.

 

HD DVD or High-Definition Digital Versatile Disc is a high-density optical disc format designed for the storage of data and high-definition video.[1]


You are an idiot.

it started off as high density dvd, but i guess people got use to high definition DVD.

 

ok you're in "Console & Computer Gaming" not "Home Theater & Electronics" ofcourse we're talking about video games.

 

still don't know what to get...

I wouldn't like paying for online play though... especially for GTA4... but paying for it will filter out all the little immature kids that play the game... but after a while of playing it would end up costing the same as buying the PS3...

decisions decisions...

leaning towards PS3... blueray player...

I used/use my PS2 as a dvd player... cuts down on the clutter of having another DVD player apart from my gaming console... then again PC to TV hookup isn't bad either...

I OWN PAGE 2 muhahahaha... :pagewhore:

 

it really comes down to which games you want, i have wii and 360 right now. im waiting on GT5 to come out before i buy ps3. but if you have a crappy computer ps3 is the way to go. you can run linux on ps3 and on 360.......not so much.

 

Grand Theft Auto IV comes on a blueray disc...

 

I got a 360 for christmas and sold it a week or two before the "war" ended since I saw it leaning towards PS3, and couldn't be happier. I love the PS3.

 

are you sure about that?

 

Unfortunately, it doesn't.

 

x2

 

how much are those xbox HD-DVD drives selling for now?

 

last time i checked Best Buy have them for $50.00

 

wow i'll wait until they're $10.00, just like when Sega had a lot of discontinued stuff like Sega CD, Saturn, and Dreamcast.

 

they use to be $50 with 5 free hd dvd movies and a $30 rebate making it $20 and 5 free hd dvds.

 

Why is it lame? I think it's a great idea and value that my PS3 comes with a Blu-ray player as it saves me the trouble and money of having to by a stand alone player especially since blue-ray players are still expensive. As far as the PS2 dvd player it was crap the PS3 blu-ray player is good quality.

 

Yes i'm sure, it says so right on the box

 

My 360 IS my DVD player.

 

i cant stand using the 360 as a dvd player, the drive is so loud it gets irritating while trying to watch a video. it'll be quiet then all of a sudden the drive kicks on.

 

I know that the drive does make noise sometimes, and I've read a lot of people complain about it...but I used my 360 as my sole dvd player for 2 years and I can't remember once actually noticing it making any noise while I was watching something. I watch a ton of movies too.

 

i sit kinda close to my 360, that might be why it bothers me alot.

My 360 died today. It was so sudden.... it was just fine yesterday, then all of a sudden when I popped in COD4 to kill some time, it... it... it.... just showed 3 red rings.

 

How old is it? Are you going to get it fixed under warranty?

 

Yeah I'm hoping to. I got it during holiday 2005. I'm surprised it crapped out on me all of a sudden after all this time. I'm gonna call 1-800-4MY-XBOX later

 

^^ All xbox's with the red ring of death are covered under warranty

 

Were you able to figure this out? I just soft modded mine if you are still stuck. LOL just noticed you posted this over a year ago.

 

Haha...nope never figured it out. How is yours working?

 

I can see why you got frustrated. Most of the information I read on xbscene and other places was out of date.
I ended up finding a good video series on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4PWX5NaOFs

The hardest thing for me was building the USB to Xbox cable and I also needed to buy a memory stick that was compatible with the Xbox. You can find all the software that those guys used on bittorrent or they give you a website.

Right now I'm running UnleashX but I may change that to Media Center. I used Splinter Cell to do the exploit. If you need any help let me know.

 

You have more patience than I had with this. I sold my XBox...running an AppleTV now.

 

20G Xbox360 get price drop to $299. New 60G model coming, to be priced $350.

 

what's the deal with this? I saw it banner'd across AZ...

Refurbished 360 for $35!!!
