Hardly matters, since Nintendo actually makes money on the Wii. Not to mention Mario Galaxy is going to make a killing.

Whats the point of this article? If you own a hd-dvd player you were already going to choose the hd-dvd version over the dvd version of any movie you had interest in. And if you don't have an hd-dvd player you've proven you're too sane to buy one now.

Its definitely loud, far more so than any other console or even my PC unless I have the fans turned way up. But its pretty easy to ignore unless you play your games on mute.

It was a decent game and a pretty good choice for their purposes. I think the idea is to pack in mass market games, stuff that isn't rated mature and isn't obviously kiddie (viva pinata).

@Legionosh:

I said alot, but I avoided saying 'all' or 'most.' My 360 is faster than my PC too, but one wouldn't have to break the bank to build a PC that would beat it out. I have a socket 939 4200 x2, an AGP 7900gs and 1gb ddr 3200. This system would have qualified as old and outdated a year ago, and I'd estimate it as being just a hair under the 360 now. Remember that nearly all the 360 games are being rendered at 720p internally, which is lower than your monitor's native res.

"How many people have a pc decent enough to run 360-like games on the pc?"

Probably a lot of the people who would come to a site like this.

$10 million. A drop in the bucket considering these are just first day sales and will also boost console sales and xbox live subscriptions.

How long do you think it will be before DDR3 is cheap enough to overtake DDR2 as the logical choice?

Well, I don't really think you need to include one on the $500 system, and maybe even the $1000 system. But if you're spending any more than that on a computer, you can afford to get some decent audio out of it.

Personally, I would like to see you upgrading the case as you go up in price.

"Cynics will say that HP just designed a really cool, no, really, really, cool looking case, but that’s it."

Anyone saying that would really be selling HP short. I mean they also did...that thing...and something else...and some other stuff.

Nope, thats actually all they did.

Or they could keep the price exactly the same since there are several million people willing to pay it, and rake in as much cash as they can before raking in even more with starcraft 2. The fact that these guys haven't put out anything less than a mega-hit in 12 years is insane.

Not true. The topless mod that users created for oblivion got them in trouble and the rating of the game was changed because of it.

This is a half baked idea if I've ever heard one. Those who own guitar hero 2 already know exactly what to expect from guitar hero 3. Those who don't own guitar hero 2 also don't have a guitar controller and won't have any fun with the demo.

Very few people had hdmi on their tv's at the time of the 360s launch, and virtually nobody had it while it was being designed. I'm also perfectly happy with mine connected through component.

I think the logic is that they have a juggernaut of big titles coming by the end of the year, and combined with a price drop they feel they should easily be able to beat out the ps3 this holiday. Even if the price drop isn't that big, many people won't buy a console if there are rumors of a price drop because they don't want to miss out.

Once the holidays are over and their lineup slumps a bit, their cheaper chips will have already made their way into consoles and they could easily cut the price again when gta4 rolls around in 08.

The scenario he describes is the only one I can see happening. MS isn't going to let any content onto xbox live unless they certify it, and they sure won't be certifying through piles of subpar user submitted mods. The ones that become popular on PC/ps3 will get greenlit. The rest won't get looked at.

I don't think many will be playing ut3 on the xbox anyway. Unreal fans will be playing it on PC and console shooter fans will be playing halo 3.

Its not part of the firingsquad summary, but the full article says:

If your console is under warranty and gets repaired, your warranty is extended by however much time you have left on it, or 90 days, whichever is longer.

If your console is not under warranty and you pay to get it repaired, the repaired console gets covered by a 1 year warranty.

Read better. It says thats the price for the limited edition black version, and after that the standard $400 xbox would receive the same upgrades.

Excitebike - good for about 20 minutes worth of nostalgia.

Beyond Oasis - never heard of it, don't care.

Splatterhouse - remember not caring about it when it was new.

I'll take Castlevania SOTN gladly.

Just finished up the demo. Looks like this is the 2nd 360 game that won me over with its demo, crackdown being the first.

That G1 described in the newspost sounds pretty nice. There aren't many 15.4 inch laptops with a respectable graphics card.
