The core requires you to buy a $40 memory card anyway. They probably should have made the whole thing "skinable" in the first place.

After reading this, I am not as dissapointed that I bought my 360 right before the Elite was released.

PS3 is truly the better hardware while Xbox 360 just happens to be the best game machine right now due to its higher number of playable games.

I think PS3's graphics look better on my 1080p 50".

If you are deciding which way to go, I suggest you get the 360 thought since right now PS3 doesn't have many games.]]>Apr 26th 2007 10:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/I feel like I'm limping through with the 360 because I expect it to break again any day. Both the Wii(I have one) and the PS3 hardware seem like much better designs. The PS3 just has no games. And with Forza 2 on preorder I might never look back to GT4/GT5. I originally bought a PS@ just to play GT.]]>Apr 27th 2007 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/Apr 26th 2007 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/
You should see a difference when viewing video material shot at 60 fps, but anything at 30 fps or lower shouldn't be visible, assuming the TV knows what it's doing (and the Sharp LCDs probably do).

The only difference in quality that should be visible here is in the colours (especially the darks).]]>Apr 26th 2007 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/
Ummm it does matter, a lot. Thats why it is a waste to have a 1080i/p set if it is less than ~50". Your eye just can't make out the extra detail provided when the set is smaller. You definitely notice resolution and quality differences more the bigger the screen is.]]>Apr 27th 2007 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/
That's even a bigger rip-off than NOT having BenQ DVD drive (quiter, less likely to destory your disc) and 65nm processor]]>Apr 26th 2007 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/Apr 26th 2007 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/Apr 26th 2007 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/
While sitting at the dashboard, the 360 is relatively quiet. And it's even quieter while playing a DVD.

I think the problem is that no matter how much people argue, the final resolution of one complete frame is still 1080 whether progressive or interlaced. There is a difference, but the minute difference hardly lives up to the hype.

Thanks Engadget; maybe I won't upgrade after all.]]>Apr 26th 2007 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/Apr 27th 2007 2:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/Apr 26th 2007 10:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/Apr 26th 2007 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/
HD DVD/ Blu rAy movie viewing will never look any better, and as one of the people here said, that's because movies run at 24fps.

I played a regular DVD, then the same movie, but in blu-ray, and saw hardly any real difference. But when gaming, there's quite a big difference, textures go on further and are much nicer, there's alot less jaggies, and everything just looks nicer! comparing Gran tourismo HD in 720P vs 1080P and CS:S hooked up via DVI, 1280x720 vs 1920x1080.]]>Apr 27th 2007 12:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/Apr 26th 2007 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/
Does the 360 now support HDCP with the HDDVD drive?]]>Apr 26th 2007 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/
The statement that 1080p is useless is just silly. It's twice the information. The thing to keep in mind is that current source material is generally upconverted to 1080p from something else. You're not going to notice a big difference between 720p and 1080p either if you're upconverting a 540p signal, but that doesn't mean there's not a big difference between 1080p and 720p. It's also a significant difference if you're talking about a computer display - computer folks have known for a LONG time that i vs. p is always different, and the p is always better. It's true that at some point, your eyes can't keep up, but it's not the i vs. p where that has effect, it's in the dpi + viewing distance.

What is true is that Xbox 360 games at 1080i vs. 1080p won't be a significant difference for most users. I'd say only those with 61" or better 1080p native screens will really notice. The HDMI connection is more of importance as it helps clean out the rats nest behind our components.]]>Apr 27th 2007 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/Apr 27th 2007 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/Apr 26th 2007 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/Apr 26th 2007 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/Apr 26th 2007 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/Apr 26th 2007 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/Apr 26th 2007 8:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/Apr 27th 2007 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/xbox-360-elite-vs-classic-the-test/

Before you guys start talking out of your ass about HD, I highly recommend doing just a little bit of research. Here is one article to start off with.
