It' s my friend' s Wii and he doesn' t want to risk it, but I would.

By the time I get a Wii, I' ll be able to get component cables easy peasy. However, that mod looks so cool I bet I' ll end up doing it anyways.

Edit: I had forgot the entire reason I wanted to post in the thread!

Thanks for the comparison shots mxpx182! The component cable images are much more crisp and less blurry then the composite version.

Just reminded me. Can anybody point me in the direction of some 480i vs 720p/1080p game/movie screenies? I' ve been looking around, & all I could find were SD vs 1080i, and even then, those shots were taken by the shakycam from hell.

Hmm looks like too much trouble to make a set of do-it-yourself Wii component cables. I' ll grudgingly wait till they arrive or if i' m lucky i' ll pick them up when ipick up my Wii on Launch day. $#!t i just realised the 7th is Thursday and i took the Friday off, DOOH, MEans after i get my Wii from the Midnight launch i got go home and go to sleep and have to wait till after work before i play. AARRRGGGHHH. Well atleast i have a 3 day weekend

Anyway i picked up my new Panasonic 81cm HD TV. I would have picked a larger one but shit its only for the Wii, no need for 1080p goodness just yet. Now just the Wii, component cables and Zelda then i' m golden!!!

That' s the fun of it!

How is it that this is the most civil thread on the forum?

Ironic isn' t it?

It' s just a backwards world you have gone into - I suppose it may be because
of the fact that people are reminded of the consoles situations via figures...

You can' t argue with those..

because it got hijacked and turned into a wii component cable modding thread

Because all the people that need to be posting here aren' t.

Seriously though, that Wii Component/Composite mod looks quite nice.

Just heard IBM can' t priorty to dev cell chips for ps3,since they sell out their own for their monster servers.

This will apparentrly even delay dev for ps3 even longer.

However if you add what 360+wii sold its around 9 million but,there is 130-150 million consoles left to buy.

In six years the PS2 sold what 150 ish Million units! That' s in six years, the 360 has sold close to 10 million in 1 year, going on the premise that the 360 will sell roughly that in a 6 year lifetime the 360 will sell approx 60 million units, if Sony continue to screw around and mess up, this figure will more than likely double, the Wii will pick up whats left, there are not likely to be any more next gen consoles for about 6 years unless Sega pulls their fingers out and bring out a new dreamcast, or some other company decides to join the market. Those figures at the moment don' t really mean much until both the Wii and the George Foreman Lean Mean Gaming Gachine, have been about for a good 6 months then would be the time to compare.

a large amount of those ps2' s are from when peoples warenty ran out and the console broke they bought another, thus making the amount sold go up

That doesn' t make sense at all. Look at the 360' s availiability within the first 3-4 months, almost nonexistent off of Ebay. Also assuming that the PS2 was out for that long as well, that leaves you nine months of real sales.

There was a pretty steep curve on PS2 sales over the years, they didn' t sell 140 million, & another million every year. So going by the 360' s first year as a console doesn' t tell you anything about projected sales. It' s like the Dreamcast. Sold great for the first year, and then it took a sharp dive downwards. It' s for a different reason I realise, but few people would have projected that outcome on launch night.

Gamespots 3rd party software graphical comparison - 360 wins and the difference in Fight Night isn' t massive at all, Gamespot claims that the PS3 version has reduce texture detail!!1!!

Look at the second pic for Fight night. The background on the PS3 version looks like crap compared to the 360 version. This is precisely what less memory for textures does, it limits what you can have for the background.

Keep in mind thought that these games have been made on the 360 first, so they were tailored for the 360 while the PS3 version is a the port. Don' t be surprised when we see games made for the PS3 have features taken out or are graphically inferior when ported to the 360.

Personally it will be more intersting once we see some exclusive landmarks like MGS4 and Halo 3. These title will definately push the unique limits of each console. Only then will we have a clear idea of which console is more capable. Even Gears of war gives us a good idea of what we can expect form the 360, we just need a game like that on the PS3...

It' ll be interesting to see how UT2007 performs.

Yes it will, assuming they don' t cancel it or make it on 360 as well. One the PS3, I' m really looking foward to seeing how Killzone plays out, it will be fun seeing the Sony fanboys cry foul. Maybe that will wake them up, for every moron that yelled " real-time" as a basis for their argument. I' ll only buy a PS3 if it drops in price by 50%, which might be never. Wii on the other hand....

Just reminded me. Can anybody point me in the direction of some 480i vs 720p/1080p game/movie screenies?

Anybody?

I' m really looking foward to seeing how Killzone plays out,

Right now, I' m actually interested in the game as a whole. Granted, it' s not going to be anything like the " target render" , but I' d at least like to see some kind of progress on it.

Quez, i asked you to keep your 360 biased comments confined too this thread. Instead, we have multiple " Quez..." labeled threads on the 1st page with retarded content. You are not funny and you' re certainly not coming accross as smart. All you seem to do is argue with people over which console has the best games, or which is more powerful. It' s pathetic.

I' d ask you nicely to respect other peoples opinions and tone it down if i thought you would even consider it, but i' m tired of defending you and getting mentioned in the same sentance as you. Before you bought a 360 you talked about Playstation and Final Fantasy. Now you' ve changed your opinion because you feel the need to advocate the console that your currently own, and you' re coming off as an insecure forum troll.

The people i like most are posting less and less and so while i am not going anywhere i won' t be starting any new threads as the people that they are often meant for don' t reply and they decend into fanboy garbage. As far as i' m concerned Eddie and Ghost are the only regular posters i' m interested in discussing things with. The others have either left or don' t post often enough to warrant being described as regular (Tiz for example).

I blame my new job. I used to be a nightowl when it came to activities so much so I now work overnight...sigh...I need to think about school again soon.

Then theres the whole " FIANCE" thing now...sigh...er I mean hurray!

Anyhow now that all 3 consoles are out what are the true fighting points?

And a big ass question...WTF IS THE ONLINE LIKE FOR PS3? I STILL HAVENT HEARD SHIT ALL ABOUT IT...WTF is it on par with Live could it leapfrog it? Or is it a sham nothing but the old online strat just a bit jazzed up in some bling?
