For those who like a nice quiet game experience:
1. PS3 = Have to put your ear right next to the vent to hear anything
2. 360: Sounds like a lawn mower eating a cat ;)
So if you want a nice quiet machine, get the PS3. I just got one and love it. I was thinking of doing FOLDING@Home but then thought better of it, really really dont wanna burn up my PS3 running it 24/7 (and I already do those projects on my PC, no wonder my electic bill is $83/month)
Ill do more looking but I may just settle for the Magnavox. Good price and it should be coming now in price even more (dropped almost $400 bucks in the first 4 months we had it).
the "experts" claim that LCD TV prices will be dropping between 20%-30% over the next year. I can just see it now. Its 2011 and tube tvs have gone the way of the dinosaurs. Shopping in your local electronic store, you see HDTV LCDs in the 40-50 inch range that cost $200-300 bucks. The thought hits you: People used to spend over a GRAND for that just a few years ago!
I have been lusting over this 37'' Magnavox LCD that we sell at Target for $999 since we got it in late in 2006. I for some reason assumed it was running 1080p given the very nice HD picture. I found some info on a website that is confusing:
Broadcast Format Displayed:720p (HDTV) | 480p (EDTV) | 480i (SDTV)
Broadcast Format Supported:1080i (HDTV) | 720p (HDTV) | 480p (EDTV) | 480i (SDTV)
Now does this mean the PS3 will be able to run 1080i? Or will it be stuck on 720p. I know, most games dont even SUPPORT 1080i or p right now, but I dont want to get a TV that cant do 1080p :)
