now you know your reaching there
if it were that bad people would just take the console back and say "I dont want this junk" but they like it so they keep it. Remember that the Xbox is created by one of the most universally reviled and hated corporations ever better known as microsoft. Now we wouldn't want people downing the 360 just because its made by that corporation now would we?
so you might want to ease up with that analogy. Your doing your hate for no reason thing again. You just sound a bit sore because end of the day you can dog them all you want but they took a less technologically advanced system (the PS2) and sold 90 million units wordwide compared to the Xbox's 20.1 million or whatever the last count was at. People dont buy that many of something because of propoganda, fact was it had the games they wanted.
Most of what I was thinking to say Flexkill just said word for word so I'll just back up what he said
however on one point
[quote=Diamond]But down to the cons, which seem to currently outweigh the pros.
WE DON'T NEED this much space! When I say it's nice to hold several seasons on a single disc, I mean several seasons! A movie is NEVER this long. DVDs are finally cheap and have just enough space (and tons more, plus add in advanced compression codecs) and should last us a long time.
We don't NEED a higher quality for movies if it means taking up 5 times the space. DVD quality is good enough in my opinion. Who really needs to see the molecular structure of Nicole Kidman's far right eyelash. OK I exagerated that a little.

Now Diamond if you had an HDTV you would understand why you need that space. It allows for movies to be uncompressed. As DVD's are NOT HD, 480p is nothing but glossied up standard def. You have to get up to 720p before you can even get it to be considered HD. And the fact is we aren't going to get that on just normal DVD's. Or if we do its on shorter movies with no extras. So while YOU may not need higher quality movies fact is most of us especially HDTV owners DO want it. Because standard tv on any hdtv looks like crap. Its got a horrible look to it and doesn't compare to hd signals. So trust me DVD is not good enough. Its far from it in a movie setting. For games I mentioned in another thread its not that big a deal. I'm just basically commenting on needing it for movie viewing.
