After hearing that the PS3 may acutally be affordable I may wait until both systems are out to make up my mind.

Anyone know what kind of system the wireless controllers use? Such as the range, etc? Do they need to be in line of sight of the XBox? I was hoping to stick the xbox in an enclosed component closet about 15 ft. away...]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/

The wireless controllers use a 2.4Ghz signal]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/
Because IGN has a PS3 to play with. . .

We'll see who has the stronger offering when it is released. I'm not saying it will be the 360, but making that choice now is just stupid.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/
-Sony ps3: uses Blu-ray dvds up to 50gb(dual-Layer)space on each disk

-Xbox 360: Standard dvd with only 8.5 gb of space

By the way ps3 will still play normal 8.5gb dvds.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/This kind of launch is a massive business disaster. I just hope that it was not planned.
I hope it was due to a shortage of parts. If the "brains" at MS deliberately created the shortage...OMG!!!!!!!! The stupidity!!!!!!]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/
Greg, #13-

Just to let you know, thats the ps3 IGN. They love playstation. They have a list called top ten reasons not to buy the 360. There is also a Xbox 360 IGN. They love the 360, and they did top ten reasons to buy a 360. They are both biased in their opinions. So I wouldn't count on either of them to have good insight because they are both subjective.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/
Enough already, we are aware it is out.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/When you break down the numbers, Xbox 360 has provably more performance than PS3. Keep in mind that Sony has a track record of over promising and under delivering on technical performance. The truth is that both systems pack a lot of power for high definition games and entertainment.

However, hardware performance, while important, is only a third of the puzzle. Xbox 360 is a fusion of hardware, software and services. Without the software and services to power it, even the most powerful hardware becomes inconsequential. Xbox 360 games—by leveraging cutting-edge hardware, software, and services—will outperform the PlayStation 3."

Don't you find it ridiculous that you quoted a statement like "has provably more power than the ps3" when the PS3 hardware isn't even finalized, produced or realized? I know specs supposedly have been leaked, but IGN writing something like this is completely ridiculous

Just another example of bias and hype. While I used to read and subscribe to IGN, they have really gone to hell in a handbasket over the last year or two.

Here is an idea. I don't need a list of "10 Reasons to Be a Tool and Not Think for Yourself". How about this? How about a person expressing some cognitive thinking and draw their own conclusions.

I still love the fact that Mario Kart DS has had over 50% of it's users go online in the first week, higher than the 18% penetration than Halo 2. But these figures are from memory, go check out the Joystiq entry on it.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/
I really want an Xbox 360 but I have to point out two things.

COD2 looks better on PC and plays better

Quake 4 is having problems without the Xbox bogging down under their satisfaction level.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/22/xbox-360-coverage-roundup/
Who was the first man to fly non-stop solo across the Atlantic? That's right---Charles Lindbergh. Who was the second man to do so? ..... Don't know? His name was Bert Hinkler, and he did it faster than Lindbergh---but he was second, not first… Coca-Cola has benefited from this rule for decades. You don’t have to necessarily taste better, just be the first to create the product---it’s called ‘top of the mind awareness’ and its value can turn mediocrity into millions.
