    360 vs PS3

    what are you talking about? PS3 productions commenced a while ago. Taiwanese Manufacturing Giant Asustek Computer, one of the world?s largest producers of computer components, has reportedly begun shipping Sony PlayStation 3 game consoles to Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. The fact that the consoles are being manufactured and shipped indicates that the hardware specifications have been finalized and the launch will take place on schedule in mid-November. The Chinese-language Apple Daily and Commercial Times newspaper reported late on Tuesday that Asustek Computer started shipments of PlayStation 3 (PS3) game consoles in small volume in the beginning of July, according to DigiTimes web-site. According to a report, about 200 thousand component sets were shipped to Asus in June, which means that the company is set to manufacture 200 thousand game consoles. It is also said that in July the Taiwanese manufacturer will receive higher amount of component sets for the PS3, while in September and October the company will get "more than one million [component] sets. Sony promised to have 2 million PlayStation 3 consoles available during the launch window (Mid November ?06) and ship 4 million PS3s worldwide by the end of 2006. By March 2007 the company plans to supply 6 million game consoles to the market. Foxconn Electronics, the largest manufacturer of connectors for use in PCs in Taiwan, and a leading manufacturer of connectors and cable assemblies in the world, is also projected to build the next-generation game consoles for Sony. However, the news-paper did not unveil any shipment schedules for the company, claiming that the company will start assembly operations "when demand rises", perhaps indicating the company as a stand-by manufacturer of Sony?s. The two versions of the PlayStation 3 game consoles ? for $499 and $599 ? will be launched on 11th of November in Japan and on the 17th of November in Australia, Europe, U.S. and other regions. source from - http://www.ps3portal.com/ps3/article/460.html

    360 vs PS3

    man, how many times do i have to tell you?!? i paid AU$900 for the 60GB version. i dont care if you dont believe it. what you dont believe doesnt change the fact that the price of what i paid is what i paid! nice screenshots. why dont you post a few of C.O.D 2? theres been reports on team.xbox.forums that theres no difference played from the 360 and a computer. thats in your opinion to think what i posted was stupid. and this is my opinion thinking you are stupid for saying PS3 wont kick butt once its released. and how can you say the PS3 is expensive. i would like to see if you could get a BD player for less price than the PS3. BD players are far more advanced than the HD-DVD players, how can you not understand that? this discussion/argument is going to get even more interesting when the PS3 is released.

    Ghost car!

    lol, no such thing as a ghost car. its just special effects. the reason there is no ghost car is because when cars get destroyed, it doesnt go to heaven and it doesnt have a soul. all i can say is, WTF???

    360 vs PS3

    no, im paying AU$900 for the graphics and BD player. a console without realistic graphics will not attract people like me. and there are many graphics nut out there, i can assure you. getting the PS3 is cheaper than getting the state of the art computer and its cheaper than any other high class console. heres some videos of GT Vision. go to the last video. http://youtube.com/results?search_query=GT...p;search=Search

    they will probably put something to ensure that scratches can be prevented or even fixed. people said it would take ages to burn a dvd in 1999 and now a dvd can be burnt in less than an hour.

    360 vs PS3

    thats really determined by ones opinion. i think the PS3 has better graphics so im getting it. GT Vision (not GT HD) is the best graphics i have ever seen and yet in the demo, they said it is only a glimpse of whats really to come. if i thought the demo looked friggin awsome, imagine what the full game would look like.

    360 vs PS3

    yes, i am very confident that the PS3 will win next gen, theres no doubt about it. the PS3 graphics are better than the 360. that is main reason im getting the PS3.

    CCleaner 2.0

    way off-topic! but anywho, the holographic discs are coming at the end of the year at 300GB per disc and at the end of next year they will have 1.6TB per disc.

    360 vs PS3

    nice post, lokoike. XGuNn3rX, no point trying to convice us that the 360 is more worth getting than the PS3. PS3 will boost in sales because they have the next generation video player. it is cheaper to buy the in-built blu-ray player in the PS3 than getting one separately. in about a year or two or at the very most three, DVDs will be outdated. there will still be a few people thats using the DVD since its cheaper and smaller capacity. its just like the SVCD and VCD. they were very popular in the late 90s. and there probably was a discussion saying who wants a DVD and what kind of data would fill up a 4.7GB disc. and my gosh there are people now saying what kind of data would fill up a 54GB disc. 54GB discs arent all that big anymore. at the end of the year 300GB discs called Holographic discs will be out and at the end of next year 1.6TB discs will be out. with HD-DVD discs only reaching 28GBs for this kind of generation is foolish. its way too small. dont worry about it mate. only time will prove you wrong.

    if you havent then you havent experienced how the quality is really like. you should experience it yourself rather listening what most people will say. in your opinion, how many people is everyone? i can tell you now that not everyone thinks the HD-DVD is better than the BD. try asking people that is not in the Microsoft fanboy groups and see what sort of an answer you will get. before you do that. i can tell you now that not everyone thinks the HD-DVD is better, why? because i dont think it is. there you go, not EVERYONE thinks its better.
  21. its better to release it later and have less problems than release it now and have enormous problems.

    360 vs PS3

    it depends what kind of game you make with awsome graphics. and i doubt you could. how is the PS3 outdated? and as you said yourself. the PS3 isnt even out yet so how could everyone say HD-DVD > Blu-Ray? and you didnt answer my question earlier. "have you seen a video between a HD-DVD and a Blu-Ray?"

    Microsoft Zune

    Microsoft?s iPod-Killer: Zune July 23rd, 2006 by Leon Huang Could this be the real iPod-killer? Zune rumors have been storming the blogosphere as of late, but Microsoft has finally made their official confirmation. ?Today we confirmed a new music and entertainment project called Zune. Under the Zune brand, we will deliver a family of hardware and software products, the first of which will be available this year. We see a great opportunity to bring together technology and community to allow consumers to explore and discover music together?, said Microsoft?s GM of marketing, Chris Stephenson. Simply put, Zune will be the next big thing for your portable multimedia needs, with wireless networking aspects that will make file-sharing really fun. There are tons of Zune-relate rumors and speculations. But thanks to the folks at Engadget, they?ve compiled a huge list to make things easier to digest. There it goes: What we know (for sure) * Zune is the name of the project, the brand, and the device. * The first Zune device will be launched this year, with more devices to come in 2007. * The Zune brand encompasses not only the device, but the software that will drive it, as well as a music, movie, and media service the Zune device family will use for acquiring, sharing, and discovery of said media. Music will be the first angle of service that is launched, ?connected entertainment? being the ultimate goal. * The Zune media service will heavily leverage community aspects and recommendation; emphasis is being placed on using Zune to discover new artists, media, etc. * The Zune media device will be drive-based, and have WiFi. * The Zune brand is intended to be an entirely vertically integrated end-to-end solution, not unlike the iPod / iTunes / iTunes Music Store triumvirate. * The service and device will not be PlaysForSure compliant, meaning you will not be able to use your Zune player with Napster or Vongo, for example. This will be an entirely new system. Microsoft will continue to support and develop for their PlaysForSure initiative, but all things PlaysForSure are handled by two entirely separate division that will not have any crossover. * Zune is under Microsoft?s new Entertainment & Devices Division, and is headed by, among others, Robbie Bach, J Allard (Corporate Vice President and Chief XNA Architect), and Bryan Lee (Corporate Vice President and CFO, Entertainment and Devices Division), which accounts for the division of this project from the rest of Microsoft, similar to how the Xbox project was also strictly separated. * The logo is real. * Microsoft?s launched the Zune viral marketing site, ComingZune.com. What we think we know (and are pretty sure of) * They?ll be showing off the device by the end of next month, and will aim for a November release. * Microsoft will buy your way out of iTunes in order to convert you to a Zune user. * The Zune will come in multiple colors. * Pyxis is the codename for their nano competitor which would also include video capabilities; Alexandria is the codename for the software that powers the Zune experience. * A Microsoft portable gaming system is in the works, and will be a part of the Zune family. This device should have Xbox Live Anywhere integration. This may or may not be an Xbox co-branded portable, but is probably going to be the portable gaming / media device we?ve been hearing about for years. * Microsoft?s ad campaign will include a Super Bowl commercial. * The Zune will have a bevy of accessories at launch; it?ll probably be cheaper for accessory makers to develop for the Zune port than pay the Made For iPod tax. more here: http://www.hiptechblog.com/2006/07/23/micr...od-killer-zune/ cheers!

    360 vs PS3

    i never said anything that the xbox 360 doesnt have any games. without games why build a console system. lol and i never said xbox 360 doesnt have any good games either. why else am i getting the 360 when Halo 3 and FABLE 2 comes out. i think having good graphics means awsome gaming. it really comes down to ones opinion and perspective on a point of view. when the blu-ray becomes more popular, its than will people realise how awsome it really is. XGuNn3rX, have you seen a video between a HD-DVD and a Blu-Ray? because i have. our neighbour has a HD-Blu-Ray player in their living room and they paid a little over AU$2,500 for it. i compared the two together and without much time. there was this immense difference between the two. xbox is a good console, awsome gaming and you the rest but what im saying is, its crap compared to the PS3. i have played many many hours on the 360. and everyone i know thats got a 360 is also prepared to get the PS3 when its launched. all microsoft fan boys only and probably will always say the PS3 is only slightly better than the 360. i dont blame you for denying the truth when you're a fanboy. i hope you now know what im getting at. i dont hate the 360, and thats the truth. i would buy one now if i had enough money to have both consoles, but i dont. i would rather choose the better console out of the two. im not even going to bother with Wii. it has none of the games i want. and most of the games i want is on the PS3. im getting the PS3 because it best suits me and my needs.
