they add HDMI to their 360's then rumors of a new 360 that has HD-DVD drive then they're copying Sony's home, then This

softwarewise, they completely copied the Java sytax language. M$ certainly does not = Innovation!!

why doesnt M$ get it right from the begining? Any more "service packs" coming?

which service pack are we on anyway?

M$ = A$$, :lol:

why am I a fanboy. I speak the truth whether it is for M$ or not. I am a C#.net developer so most of my work is on the M$ platform. I earn my living developing software on Microsoft products!! I just speak the truth. If you don't like it then, SORRY.

They stole home button from PSP,I guess a OS system from N64 add on,or was it the PSX first dont remember. The home button is the only thing,but its techinically not stealing. They started putting HDMI units in once the ps3 got released.

Lol no. Color coded buttons and trigers =/= identical match.

Black/white buttons?

Pressure sensitive buttons?

Guide buttons?

Back button?

Bumpers?

Rumble?

No VMU?

You really want me to go on?

I don't think so. M$ does not do it better all the time. the newly added HDMI to the 360 for example is version 1.2 where the PS3 has 1.3. the diference is that 1.3 supports 7.1 surround sound and supports higher resolution than 1080P which make the PS3 more future proof than the xbox (why is the 360 called a next-gen console if all it has is this gen technology and before). Also HD-DVD is not better than Blu-Ray. they are about the same but Blu-ray can fit more on a single disk so that alone makes it better. Softwarewise, yes .net beats Java, but that's beside the point

Lol no. Color coded buttons and trigers =/= identical match.

Black/white buttons?

Pressure sensitive buttons? PS2 had that.

Guide buttons? You mean start/select? or the center button? center button I'll hand to them.

Back button? again.. you mean start/select? because really, thats *never* been done before.

Bumpers? Didn't the SNES have "shoulder buttons"? AKA "bumpers"

Rumble? You're kidding, right?

No VMU? Both the xbox and 360 have these, so again, you're kidding, right? The PS3 is so far the only console to not have any type of VMU out.

You really want me to go on? lol, please do.

adding an hdmi port is copying? You do know it has become the standard connection for high defination products right? Built in HD-DVD drive is copying sony? I dint know sony had a built in HD-DVD player... Copying home... wasnt sony just trying to copy/beat the achievement system when they made home? Not to mention that home is copying second life?

it's copying the ideas, not the actual technology. built in HD-DVD wasn't needed I thought and is HDMI. I have been on these boards for quite sometime and the lemmings woudl argue against HDMI. Also, home is not just an achievemnet tracing system. it's a a whole new idea that M$ is copying

For the second time today.

Dreamcast firsts: First console to support KB/M, First Webbrowser in a console, First HDD in a console, First to offer Online gaming and first console that can boot an alternate OS.
N64: First to have Rumble
And if you want to get more technical, Playstation wasn't even the first console to use the Disc.

Seriously are cows really this doltish? Theres no originality with todays consoles and there doesn't have to be to be something great. Srsly who else things this is a new low for cows?

Microsoft they said that they would add HDMI once it was important enough to add before Sony even announced details on the Ps3. Get your facts straight.

King of copying or not they must be doing something right..They have a lot of AAA titles to boast about. I'll be happy to pay for copied ideas if they bring forth the good games.

Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ. I didn't buy my console to watch Blu-Ray movies or HD-DVD's. Market the gaming consoles for gaming purposes! GAH! This is the kinda crap that really burns me.
