So many people have yet to even buy a TV capable of HDTV and yet we are already thinking about going sooooo far beyond that. I wonder if it will come to a point that we ask ourselves "How much is enough...?"
I know that this might sound crazy but I think we go too far sometimes. Aren't there more pressing needs in the science/engineering/tech world right now then to make sure that we are all watching TV?
Seriously though.... I have kinda given up on cablecard for the time being. I'm just not interested until someone finds a way for me to build my own system and not have to buy an OEM'd hunk-O-junk.
For me, I am just gonna stick with my MCE 2005s and HD homeruns. Sure, I can't do HD premiums and a few other things but at least I am not leasing a damn thing from my cable CO and I still get more channels than I really need to watch.
I really think that Cable Card V1 will NEVER see widespread adoption but was a necessary step towards SDV / Cable Card V2 systems. I'm waiting for Bi-directional cable cards and (hopefully) the openness/flexibility they will offer.
I can't beelieve that this thread is still alive and being commented on. I mean, come on. Let's get over it already. It's named and there is nothing that "wii" can do about it.
This day and age the only thing that I see all of the other consoles offering is "FPSs, RPGs, sports, etc..." all infused with a healthy dose of murder, death, violence, and rap music. This is the exact reason that I have always been a nintendo fan and always will be a nintendo fan.
When I get the urge to play a game I want to do just that; play a game. Not simulate reality and all of it's stress inducing, high pressure, cut-throat BS. I get enough of that at work.
Believe it or not I havent bought a game console since the super nintendo (yes, I feel old). I have every hope that the revolution will deliver the gaming experience that I am looking for and I will be one of the first in line to buy it. Congrats nintendo! Welcome back old friend.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
