here'es the explaination
You're in Africa.. and you walk around.... You cant get eaten, you cant punch, kick, throw, break stuff, shoot anything, nothing. YOU WALK AROUND... Your weapon of choice? A &$%& camera.... yes, you can take pictures of stuff.
Much like the over rated Endless Ocean for wii.. You swim around and thats it. You can touch fish, and they swim away!!!!
yes it does have a metal plug now, there are clips holding it into place, and the fans do blow air OUT of the console... However, does it still draw too much power from the block???
I had heard that the power block itself is just strong enough to power the 360, not so much to power the 3 additional fans as well. I think what it does then is rob power from the 360, and you could wind up with a performance issue? The old one did this, does the EX do this too?
The format war is not over by far. However, the current leader by a long shot is and has been for some time now, Blu-Ray. But in all actuality, HD-DVD Doesn't really stand a chance at this point, unless the major film companies turn on Blu-Ray and go to HD-DVD with Universal. Because as far as I know, Universal and Paramount are REALLY the only major companies still on board with HD. The other companies are just too large, and have too much to really compete with. It IS possible, but highly unlikely. Whether or not one is better than the other is strictly a matter of opinion. As far as size goes, Blu-Ray won that out of the chutes, but I believe I've heard lately that HD can be made with 3 layers in the near future, making it slightly larger than the Blu-Ray. However, rest assured if HD can do that, Blu-Ray will be able to as well, and blow that number out of the water, releasing discs with nearly 200+ gb of space. Picture and audio quality are both so similar that anyone attempting to argue one or the other here would simply be a fool. To me, picture and audio quality is what matters. I'll wait until the war is completely over before I invest in an exclusive "player." I own a PS3, for the gaming. Simply a perk that it plays Blu-Rays as well.
Remember though, that HD-DVD has Wal-Mart on board as well, and Toshiba sells an HD-DVD player through them for around $200 which is far less than the cheapest blu-ray player which is still the PS3, with it's cheapest model being $399. Ma and Pa consumers who are interested in being top of the line are going to make the obvious cheapest decision, especially someone who doesn't do their homework first. Wal mart associates can purchase them for around $180, a big difference there. This past Christmas they sold for $98 from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. early in December. Thats a lot of HD-DVD players going out there!
But it still comes down to who supports it and what the majority is available on, and that's Blu-Ray. HD needs more support or they're done.
