Buy hey, look at it this way, now it'll cost you just $180.00 to jump on the bandwagon of the losing high-deg optical format!"

Oh, that can go with another quote from Microsoft on why they omitted the hd-dvd in the 360 elite. Quote Microsoft, "It's an unproven format" the only reason why the elite 360 did not get hd-dvd.

Yeah, hopefully in a few months we'll see external Blu drives for the 360. That would rock.

Good point, they don't even believe that their format is going to make it. This way they can look back and refer to these annoucements and statements and say that they were "neutral".

Besides 360's high repair rate, 360 deserves a Blu-ray drive. I would like to see that for the GAMERS.

SS316SRV · 09-24-2007, 02:26 PM

I am sure it has been said before on this forum, but the HDDVD addon for the 360 doesn't even play ALL the HD DVDs. Hot Fuzz, Planet Earth are two of the examples wont play in the addon. That is how shotty for a format HD DVD is. Their players wont even play every movie.

The 360 Elite didn't have a hddvd drive built in???????

Question: Does any of the 360 games use hddvd discs??????

If No to both questions: Then is the add-on hddvd drive for 360 just to watch movies????

If so, besides Halo3, the 360 is useless and cannot even compare to the PS3.
+ its high repair rate of what 33%.
Damn

LOL hddud, you guys really suck.

All I can say is......BLU-RAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good article by the way.

True!! That is funny. Go Blu

DavePS3 · 09-24-2007, 02:45 PM

Hey, you gotta give the guys at the magazine credit for at least admitting the truth instead of giving false hopes to their fan base. Good for them, they have my respect for that.

You should have made it even more absurd, like a special Viva Pinata 2 Edition. The entire console is decorated like a pinata, and when it goes RROD, it bursts open and candy falls out.

Halo 3 is not the only good title on Xbox 360.

I will agree. Gears of War was more fun for me than any Halo game I have played. Guitar Hero is pretty fun. Bio Shock had an interesting story.

You're correct Halo 3 is the biggest and I never said you were a Xbox or Microsoft hater.

But from your quote it sounds like Halo 3 is the only reason to have the Xbox 360, which I don't believe it is.
