I'll just keep my laptop next to me in case I need it, good sir. That way I can browse the web WHILE watching The Office on Netflix! Most superb.]]>Nov 18th 2008 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/
Not trying to incite some console flame war here (well, it was going to happen anyway), but the biggest advantage of the PS3 seems to be the fact that it's geared for entertainment with inbuilt Blu-ray. When Blu-ray standalones fall under $100, will that be a differentiating factor any more? Sure, it does have wireless - but who wants to stream with wireless? The inbuilt HDD will then become its biggest benefit, and I can't see that alone standing up against the Xbox 360.

Just my observation from someone who owns no next-gen console. I do regret not getting an Xbox 360 when they launched though, would have been enjoying it for a few years. It's too late for me to get into it now (invested in a high end PC) but news like this does get me thinking.]]>Nov 18th 2008 6:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/Nov 18th 2008 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/Nov 18th 2008 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/Nov 18th 2008 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/
You do realize games right now are WELL over the limit of a DVD, correct? GTA4 was supposed to be much larger but was dumbed down so it could fit on a DVD for your inferior console. -_-]]>Nov 18th 2008 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/
Yes I do. Which is why I'm saying that it's illogical for someone to completely despise Blu-ray when it's going to have to be utilized in future consoles. Read and transfer speeds will pick up as the technology progresses, so there won't be any real worries.]]>Nov 18th 2008 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/
Is it too early to start thinking about next-gen consoles? The 3 manufacturers probably have been for a while. Can't imagine what sort of features we should be expecting, from all of them.. they're going to try and out-do this current-gen and I'm stuck for ideas on what can be significantly improved.]]>Nov 19th 2008 1:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/
Few of my friends own xbox 360, and a those who have recently bought a system, have a ps3. In my opinion, Xbox 360 is great for boys in age, say 12-17. PS3 is for of a console for grown up people, but it has also games that kids can play. One thing that that Xbox will never achieve, is quality: it won't let you down with red flashing lights. PS3 also looks more sophisticated in the living room and it is quiet. Plus, you get LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo and so on. With Xbox you will have to do with FPS games. That is why i will get PS3.]]>Nov 18th 2008 7:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/
Xbox 360 is a gaming console and was designed with gamers in mind. Over time they added more and more functionality for media and to increase their demographic, the main reason for the interface upgrade. Microsoft hasnt lost its eye on the ball thoug, games was and still is the main focus.

PS3 was created by Sony to trojan horse Blu-ray, with gaming as an afterthought. This is why they have patched the PS3 a hundred times to attempt to bring it up to par for movies, but it still lags behind in game sales and game experience. There are far fewer online gamers for the console so it is pointless to buy a multiplatform multiplayer for the console as well. However, it is the best Blu-ray player out there, besides a great PC, and does what it was meant to do, best.

Just dont confuse the age demographics simply from heresay or the look of the console on the outside. It is more about the quality of the experience they are looking for when buying that particular console. Xbox 360 you are buying for games. PS3 you are buying for Blu-ray.]]>Nov 18th 2008 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/
i have both consoles bought a ps3 solely for MGS4 and blu-rays. but MGS4's time has passed, and as much as i loved that game thats all its got, that i am interested in anyway! the console is aimed people who want a great BR player. . . . . . . . errr Thats it, playing games is a bonus.]]>Nov 18th 2008 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/Nov 18th 2008 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/Nov 18th 2008 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/Nov 18th 2008 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/
Its a simple choice, and one which i felt more apressed to follow the gaming path, not the all-in-one multimedia path, because, although its fantastic to have everything in a shiny black box, its something you can achieve in greater depth by buying these gadgets individually. PS3 is the easy way down the Blu-Ray path, and by all means it is AND it offers games too, but all i can see is this '1080p' machine failing in the games department, while all users of it try and constantly defend it in that sense. It is not a gaming machine, sorry. Boring front ends, even worse selection of games, leaves fans griping onto the fact, they have 'prologue' and MGS4... wheres the rest? There is not even the slightest incling of interest towards me to sway me across to a platform i already own in seperates, and much more appealling seperates may i add.]]>Nov 18th 2008 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/Nov 18th 2008 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/Nov 18th 2008 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/Nov 18th 2008 8:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/Nov 18th 2008 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/Nov 18th 2008 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/xbox-experience-now-available-to-all-who-signed-up-netflix-hd/

Oh you probably mean the Avatars, the least important feature of the update. Yeah wow, you got me thinking now. Too bad I sold my launch day Wii over a year ago because it had no games to play that were not just first party re-makes of previous franchises that offered no real innovation. You may say that MS stole from Nintendo with Avatars, but at least they added something to them. Unlike every Zelda, Mario, Metroid game released for the Wii which was just them stealing the same stuff from their old consoles and not innovating a damn thing, and in some cases, like Mario Kart, turning back the clock.

The Wii is only good for pawning off on eBay. It really hurts to say that because I was so excited for the stupid system and even waited in line for it on launch day. I am just super bitter because Nintendo dropped the ball so hard you could hear the crash from Mars.]]>Nov 18th 2008 9:47AM
