Oh and this is probably getting moved out of Hot Deals since it has nothing in common with Blu-ray (although neither does the PSP but they allow their threads here)...

where is this coupon?

Heck, when MW2 comes out I'm not even sure I'm gonna play the single player campaign for a bit. it's all about online.

if you haven't tried it, you're missing out.

also, to add to what others have said ... got my XBL at Amazon for around $30.

lol you are aware the ps3 has free online and cod online on ps3 is 99.9% identical to 360 cod right?

And what real gamer uses wireless in the first place?

I do wish it had a BD player tho...then it would be perfect, RRoD and all (I've had 6 btw - finally got a new upgraded box from MS).

is that some lame excuse you tricked yourself into believing since the 360 is the only game system released in the last 5 years to not have built in wifi?

My wii,ps3, and ds all share the same wireless network and I have NO LAG. In fact in many cod games I'm the freaking host.

Yo lets not start a flame war because I had the PS3 and I dont want to say some hurtful things.Like how it takes 35 min after each map to play killzone 2 again

adh56 · 09-23-2009, 02:33 AM

Can I still get the HD-DVD drive for it?

takes awhile to load graphics the 360 can't handle.

All bull$shit aside that was the only that took so long why is that?Uncharted and everything else was similar but that one game for some reason took forever to start.

Trentz · 09-23-2009, 02:37 AM

eh, I dont need another one.

HomeTheaterVirgin · 09-23-2009, 02:41 AM

I hope this works for the MW2 edition I ordered today.On a side note I hate guying in there and they try to sell you world of warcraft sh#$..

Actually it's because drive speeds for bluray are much slower than dvds. This is why many ps3 games have installs to get around long loads. Kz2 has no install and that's a big part of why it loads so often during sp and so long between mp matches.

Wouldnt a xbox be considered a media player or dvd player for home theater?
Its not only a gaming console, dvd players are still part od home theater no?I mean it streams media to your tv,plays netflix,can buy videos,I mean people but this in there ht for that reason to me it seems that it can be considered a Ht equipment.Or because its ps3 rival its not allowed kind of like a black sheep of the family?

IMO, Home theaters are part of the site because they relate and are advantageous to the bluray technology. DVD players/XBOXs etc are not. People buy a bluray player and may want to get a nice sound system, TV, projector what have you, so those topics become a useful addition to the forum.

nope...sorry...no trick...i prefer it wired because it is in FACT faster...sorry, try again...

hey, don't hate, i got the only good ps3 - the launch 60GB (all others are less capable)...its a great BD player...like i said, imho, i'm happy to spend < .0004% of my very hard earned $ for a superior experience...sorry, i'm just not a sony lemming...and i have an hd-dud player i'll sell somebody cheap

seriously, not trying to argue...they are both good systems...and i've had my share of problems w/ my launch 360 - repaired 8 times - 6 of them for rrod. interestingly enough, i keep playing it...hmmm

to each his own...but i never get tired of the hate on here...it is a bd site after all

better get rid of the "car audio/video" forum thats on here too

gimme a break

come on fellas...don't hate on us dumb people that like xbox...

HomeTheaterVirgin · 09-23-2009, 03:30 AM

How come we have a whole car and audio forum nothing what so ever to do with blu ray.Again why because the xbox is the step child ?If we have a section for car and audio why cant we have one for xbox?Theres many of us who have both and need info regarding both systems.

RebelJeeper · 09-23-2009, 03:34 AM

And I hate to rain on you guys' parade, but most folks probably don't buy the blu-ray player first...I'm pretty sure it's the other way around.

Look, I don't make the rules and I don't hate XBOX (I have one myself

), that was just my take on the situation. There's a specific XBOX 360 thread in OT (and bashing is not tolerated), but all requests for a 360 subforum or other related threads have been denied in the past...this is a privately owned site so you gotta play by the rules or just take the discussion elsewhere

That's all I'll say about it...this thread hosts a great deal and there's no need to stray from it
