Don' t you already have an Xbox360 though? I don' t know about you, but IMO a ps3 is better than having a slightly better xbox than you already have.

This could be right around the time when I finally end up getting a 360. There' s going to be more games available that I' m interested in. Actually the second half of 2007 is looking kind of overloaded with high-profile games. Lots of good choices, but I think some of them are going to suffer saleswise.

It' s not ethical to release an " updated" x360 an say it' s better, then developers will have a big rush to modify content resolutions, etc.

Why would you skip the ps3 launch for an Bigger 360 hdd and Hdmi?

makes no sense to me Nitro, unless you' re not telling us something.
Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Me neither. I figured that since DVD playback over VGA is so good, the minimal jump to 720p from 576p wouldn' t justify the cost of the player and the movies themselves.

I wonder if the black one will hit retail. Obviously it will eventually, but i think they actually need to integrate the drive into the console, whether it' d increase the form factor or not. Just for convenience sake.

I had one for a bit. Watched King Kong felt there really wasnt much I was missing out on (same with my blu-ray expeirence) so I took it back. Cool thing is I got it with a 10% discount but thye didnt notice on the reciept so I got more money back then I had spent.

If you wanted to just play games then you wouldn' t buy the version with HD-DVD integrated, you' d buy the version that' s available now.

any news on what this means for people who already have a 360, but want a larger HD? Seems to me like the people who already have a 360 should get some kind of a discount for trading in a 20 gb or something, i mean those who already bought them seam more loyal than those who havnt yet

Dammit! They can' t do this. MY 360 is black/yellow! The entire point in modding mine was to stand out from the stock units!!!



NO! I don' t care that I got screwed with a lame update!

I was thinking the same thing. Though I seem to recall him saying that he couldn' t find his digital cam or it wasn' t working or something.

Though I also remember pics of the dreamcast with bugs in it.....hmmm

Can do Avarice. I' ll snap some pics once the faceplate is done curing. So far it' s a semi-gloss black with a yellow stripe running from right below to the synch button to about a quarter inch below the guide, with everything else including the power button in yellow. (except for the little transparent on bit in the center that is)

I' ve been a little negligent in finishing up most of the work. I' ve gotten the first two layers sprayed on the case, but because of the lame 20* weather here in Michigan, you have to sprint out, spray a layer, come in, let it cure, let it dry, sand it, & start the whole thing over again. Otherwise you get a nasty cracking peeling effect that looks like crap when you' re done.

I hear you, it was a pain in the butt painting my winter rims for my car. I made the mistake of doing it halfway and then leaving it. Took me a month before I went back and finished em.
