Whatever, dreaming costs nothing.
By the way, Should I wait for the Playstation 9?:

If they can add Blu-ray WITHOUT jacking up the price, then I'm all for it. Otherwise, I don't need it.

i got my slim 360 yesterday, and let me tell you...I do NOT miss my airplane jet! the simple fact that my old 360 lasted 4 years without a hickup baffled me, everytime i turned it on i was waiting to be greeted by the red lights. got some trade in credit while i could and upgraded to the new one.

the db numbers don't do this thing justice. for example, the slim 360 after powered on for 2 hours and then ripping a game to the hard drive is QUIETER than my old 360 at idle after initial boot up. it is truly amazing, and almost unbelievable after 4 years of mild audible torture]]>Jun 18th 2010 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/I agree it would raise the price and is not needed right now, but I was just addressing the logic that Sony controls Blu-Ray, so MS won't use it.

I agree completely, MS isn't ignoring Blu-Ray because it is a Sony technology. Sony uses MS Windows on some of their laptops, ect. It's all about costs, revenues, and cash flows. IMO, they just went for HD-DVD at the beginning and it didn't work. I do think they should offer an attachment that can play BR Discs, but I believe it would be well over $100 to the consumer. ]]>Jun 18th 2010 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/Jun 18th 2010 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/Jun 18th 2010 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/Jun 18th 2010 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/]]>Jun 18th 2010 8:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/Jun 18th 2010 10:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/Jun 19th 2010 1:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/Jun 19th 2010 2:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/new-xbox-360-gets-a-proper-teardown-analysis-power-and-noise-re/Who cares what current 360 owners think?

Hell put a bluray drive in it and don't support it for games would be one option? Or an external bluray drive like the failure HD-DVD drive another?

If the 360 had bluray I'd think about getting one to replace my PS3.

I completely agree. I hardly think that anyone highlighting the gross number of system failures of the 360 can be accused of trolling. I've said this before and I'll say it again, even assuming that the hardware problems of the past have been fixed I still am put off from buying a 360 (which I'll say now seems to be the best current console for games) because it effectively rewards Microsoft for rushing the original model to market even when they knew of its flaws (i.e. the release now and fix later mentality). Regardless of the warranties provided, I would never buy a device if I had a high level of confidence that it would break and let me down.

The rush for more power in the previous few generations makes me think back with fondness to the days of consoles like the SNES where it never broke down and never made a sound. Frankly, I thought the games then were better but that's probably because I'm an old man.]]>Jun 18th 2010 7:43AM
