I was asked to repost this message.  Here ya go..

First of all, I’m not advocating drinking beer in any quantity.  I’m using it as a metaphor – enough said.

 

 

The console wars are like beer….

 

The first beer, like the NES, is very refreshing and there’s nothing quite like it.

 

The second beer is like SNES, as good as the first but even better baby!

 

Then there is the third beer, which is like PS and N64.  Here, we are turning the corner, but more is still better.

 

So, on to the fourth beer which is like PS2, Xbox, and GC.  Now where roll’in!  This is where we always wanted to be, but somehow we think more is still better.

 

Naturally, we opt for the fifth beer which is like the 360 and PS3.  Once we have it though, we find it wasn’t really that much better than the one before and not any more fun.

 

Then we think - maybe more!  So on to the sixth, seventh, eight and so on.  At this point, we start to work backwards, and what started out as good time has turned into a trip to the porcelain god, $600.00 down the tubes, and promises to never drink or play video games again.  

 

Here’s my point…

 

Somewhere between the fourth and fifth beer, Nintendo realized the graphics were good enough already, and ordered a water and plate of nachos.  Sony and Microsoft are now at the bar doing tequila shots and planning a trip to the ti**y bar.  Someone needs to remind them that they need to be up to secure market share tomorrow at 6:00am.

even though i have enough for the nachos and water but still have my beer in my hand

[QUOTE="jrhawk42"]360 isn't in HD, hmm somebody should sue MS for false advertising. Khansoul

I could not agree more! I remeber Microsoft claiming the 360 was going to be next gen and have a ton of great titles? I am confused as to where these promises now are?

there games suck graw as a AI issue oblivion as a lag issue etc

i mean graw looks good but if you have to make the AI stupid just to make it look pretty dont make the game

and why is the online mode dont have graphics like the the solo game

Most of you lot don't get it, the PS3 is a next generation console! It will have Blue-Ray (which xbox 360 hasn't got) and will all be in HD! In fact just stop saying that the xbox 360 will outsell the PS3, be thankful that all console developers are going forward with their technology, at least give the PS3 a chance!

PS3 will win this war, don't worry it will be the same with what happened between PS2 and dreamcast.

i never seen a company priase another company after they dis there inovation just to stop sony

sorry xbox is like the dreamcast

man the 360 is not on the level of the ps3 i have the 360 and the games most of them suck in graphics i mean half of the fan boys just don't understand 360 as a life span of 4 years just like the xbox they will kill there system again just to make another after another  just to stop Sony

ps3 as a life span of 10 years

360 just 4 like there first one

I have seen adaptors going for as low as $5.  As far as sound goes, get an optical cable and plug it in your system.  You'll actually get better sound coming from your surround system than from the HDMI going your TV set.  Your system will always beat the crappy amplifier and speakers in any TV set, even expensive ones :D

Edit:  Thisis what you are looking for.  This particular brand is expensive, but you can find $5 as I said. 

thanks.
