So what will happen to the cows when sony releases the slimmer version of the PS3?air0123
[QUOTE="JaM3z90"]What would you do with all that space though?KeyWiiSeems excessive. If you want to use the IPTV you probably need it though. Still, if I bought an old 360 I would be steamed. Why? Would you really need HDMI and all that extra space that you'll never use?

And Sony will do the same thing. They're already working on a new PS3. And Microsoft will likely cancel the core version IF this is even true...

HDMI opens up options of more connections to maximize the HD inputs on TV's without swtiching. When you have say a DVD player, Wii, 360, and cable box all hooked up you can run out of VGA slots and never use the HDMI.

The cable makes it happen. It's a digital cable configured to be ICT compliant. The DRM is in the cable and the devices it is connected to. The copy protection on the disk is completely different and apparently useless since it's been cracked already.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI
Read the article again. ICT will be put on movie software when needed. In order to pass the token YOU WILL NEED HDMI. ICT is not built into the cable it only passes it. ICT is software. Show me how software can be "built" into a cable. Right now movies don't even use ICT. If they did, every Xbox 360 HD-DVD owner would be screwed since component/vga cannot pass the token. Also ICT was not cracked either since it has not been implented on anything. And again games would not be effected.

Wow. You have no understanding of anything.
Downloading movies is a substitute for renting movies. Can you rent movies for free ANYWHERE?
IPTV is a substitute (or addition) to Cable TV and Satellite TV. Can you get those for free anywhere?
Get a grip. Services cost money. If Sony ever offers those services, they will cost money as well. You think Studios are going to give away their movies for free?

[QUOTE="JaM3z90"]What would you do with all that space though?KeyWiiSeems excessive. If you want to use the IPTV you probably need it though. Still, if I bought an old 360 I would be steamed.
Why? Just upgrade the HDD. It's really the only thing you'd need.
Every product in the world gets upgraded. The PS2 got upgraded a number of times. Cell phones get upgraded about every 6 months. Every model of car gets upgraded yearly. All appliances get yearly upgrades. New models of TVs come out monthly. Why should consoles stay the same for five years? Or even two years? As long as the product can still do everything you paid for it to do... it should be fine. If you want the newer features... you buy a new one. Just like EVERY OTHER PRODUCT IN THE WORLD!
Hell, I upgrade my car every two or three years and it is 100 times as expensive as a 360.
WTF? 3 Different Packages in what...1 year and 3-4 months.
I mean 2 is pushing it, but 3? Come on whats next? An XBOX 360 with a 1TB HDD and an HD-DVD drive built in...Coming Winter 2007?
This is such BS. Releasing a package much much better then its current a little over a year after the original?
Look at Sony (cause I know ppl are going to bring this up) PS2.
The original one came out in 2000-01. Then 4 (longer then the XBOX life) year's later, they released a slimmer one. (4 YEARS LATER).
What did it have that its orignial didn't? Hmm...An Ethernet Port? Wow...like anybody really played PS2 online...I don't think many ppl even knew that it was online.
What does the new 360 have?
Hmm...100GB more space (120GB)
HDMI (Lemmings claimed it wasn't neccessary and that it sucks, but now its great yay)
Smaller CPU (Less overheating, less noise)
Quiter Drive (No More Jet Engine sounds...hopefully)
So is that a major upgrade? YES. Was the PS2-PSTwo or Slim ? Not really, it was an upgrade, but it had nothing that you could get with the original, like the HDMI for the 360, or the Quiter Drive.

Does it come with a HD-DVD player?TLHBO? That's funny because your ownage is weak to none. If anything a bigger and better 360 means it's x times better than the PS3.

No damage control, and your 100% WRONG. MS overs many choices so the consumer wants to decide which version suits there need.
What if Apple said "ok were going to release only the 60Gb version" wouldnt you be like i dont want that much space. Just like Apple and MS, they both release several versions of the same product so that consumers can decide which SKU fits there needs.
Apple improved there product and offerd many choices, MS does the same thing and its OMG your screwed. Most smart early adopters know there will be improvements to there products. I could say same thing about early DVD adopters, i dont see them complaining when a fast disk drive model or new feature on the player came out.
And its not like MS is charging the same price for the SKU, its a better model its more money. ITs like comparing the 30GB i-pod to the 60G i-pod u get what u pay for.
This is excatly why you people are not in charge of anything. Because apparently releasing a better version of somthing is bad.
Cow logic it never stops amazing me.
"Wow you get what you pay for". So I guess since PS3 is 600 and the new box is what 480 your logic implies PS3 is better which it is by the way.
Thank You

Yeah. Public libraries have such large and modern DVD libraries. That's why Blockbuster, NetFlix, and DirecTV went out of business... oh wait... they didn't!

this isnt lemming ownage. THIS IS PRE-EMPTIVE COW DAMAGE CONTROL.
THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY, is any shape or form that anyone but the cows can be owned by this. future 360 owners (ie, those who havent bought one yet) will get a better 360 and cheaper than the PS3. it will even have HDMI which is kind of ironic. (and still you dont need it for 1080p. they just put it in as an added feature) and you will be able to buy the hardrive for your old xbox 360. nobody gets screwed. nobody has, nobody will. learn the deffinition of screwed, and learn to tell the difference between IT and no choice but to buy it.

My 360s will do EXACTLY what I thought they would do when I bought them. Play games. They will always play every single 360 game that comes out for the 360.

I paid close to $30,000 for my car... Guess what? One year later a new and better model came out. If I were going to be upset... you think I'd be upset about that... not about a $400 console that still does everything I ever expected it to do. Actually, the 360 does quite a bit more than I expected. I didn't know I'd be able to download TV shows, Movies, or hook up IPTV when I bought them.

Yes... if you wanted to buy a PS3. That's not really what this thread is about.
If the PS3 ever gets a decent collection of games... I think most gamers would eventually buy one. But for $500 + $60... you can get Resistance, a decent FPS. That's pretty much it at this point. But I think this thread is more about the getting an upgrade... not about why the PS3 still isn't worth $500. (and yes... it probably will be worth it someday)

"you can’t keep a good rumor down. Just weeks after Microsoft stamped down talk that an HDMI-enabled Xbox 360, codenamed Zephyr, was in the works, the rumors are back. Retailers have confirmed that the new SKU is in their systems, set for a May 1 release for $479.99. In addition to the new video interface, the system would also pack a 120 GB hard drive into its nifty black exterior. Microsoft won’t officially confirm that such a configuration exists, but it’s interesting that so many retailers are wrong in the same way…"
and for your answer of "how do oyu know the new hardrive will fit on the old 360". my answer would be, dont be stupid.

30,000 for a new car get you a car were the value wont go down as much (BMW) you will save you some money.
And were not upset its that we actually bought a machine PS3 that is future proof and it get upgraded via-patches not with a new SKU at least not till 4-5 more years.

Actually... a car depreciates just after you drive it off the lot. If you put 1000 miles on a new $30,000 car... you'll be lucky to sell it for $25,000 as it is now considered a used car.
But what I don't understand is why people insist that video game consoles... one of the most state-of-the-art technologies... is the one thing that should not be upgraded? It makes ZERO sense. Cell phones get new models every 6 months... TVs.. about every 6 months... PCs are considered very old after three years. Every piece of technology in the world gets an upgrade at least yearly... why should consoles stay old? As long as the original 360s still play every other 360 game.... who cares if new adopters can get extra featrues? That is the same as every other product EVER. What did I get by buying an older model? A year and a half of great gaming! Do you think I would give that up for an HDMI port? Hells no. The HDD I'll upgrade for IPTV.
