I call BS on not being able to tell the difference. I can immediately tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on my 24" monitor.

For me though I always think. Why do I want to play bioshock @ 1080 on an Xbox when I can run it at 1200 on my PC.

The plasma I bought had a sticker on it that said "full 1080i"...im guessing that means i got my money's worth

i have a 52" 1080p at home that it's connected to. the graphics are great. call of duty 4 running at 1080p is amazingly crisp.

and like biggie said, HDMI all the way. without a doubt

i was in the same scenario about a year ago. but i ended up going with the xbox.
what got me is the really great online play and good downloads (ability to play classic games such as street fighter, symphony of the night, bomberman, etc. at pretty low price). Plus, games are pretty much released on both PS3 and xbox, so i was happy with the overall game selection.
then, once i got it, i realized i could stream my music/movies/pictures from my computer to my xbox. since my tv is much bigger than my computer screen, all those episodes of tv shows and movies didn't go to waste, and i can enjoy any of them on the big screen.

Originally posted by BiGGieStuFF HDMI all the way. I'm guessing your TV is 720p/1080i. 1080p is preferable with the PS3 since it can do 1080p but unless your TV is 50" plus you probably won't be able to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p. I've seen people with HDTVs and PS3s and have them hooked up via composite. I just have to slap them upside the head and educate them.

Don't listen to this guy there is a big difference between 1080p and 720p from 32-50 up inches. XBox360 and ps3 both do 1080p,

Don't listen to this guy. Xbox cannot play blu-ray discs and can only play the DEAD media of HD-DVD IF you buy the add-on which is actually cheap (50 bucks or less) but you're stuck not being able to buy or rent any new movies.

XBOX-DVD can upconvert DVDs to 1080i but in no way does an upconverted DVD look as good as blu-ray.

and the keyword is PROBABLY could not tell the difference. Sorry for assuming Carlos has bad eyes. I mean have you seen the women he hooks up with? I keed I keed

Originally posted by Carlos Pereira That's not what happened to my brother when he moved. The 360's cd-tray wiggled its way out of the gears and would not shut anymore, so he just went back to Target and told them the Xbox was defective, showed them the reciept and was able to exchange it just 2 weeks after he bought it brand new. Target can have the pleasure of sending the machine back, not me. btw, put a paintball gun in your vagina.

most retail stores will do that within 2 weeks i was talking about the warranty from the manufacturer. if you are past the refund/exchange date which is usually 14-30 days they will tell you to fuck off

Don't even mention Dave's mom; that was a total mistake.

actually it would be a 2.5 month wait, not a 4 month wait.
2nd half of january, feb, & march......not much of a wait at all for me, especially since we have the wii, PS2, PSP, DS, and Gamecube. I don't mind waiting at all to save $100.

reminds me of the 1st generation of the iphone that everyone payed bookoos for and then they dropped the price. people were pissed. lol

Thats one of the articles. I actually found talks about this in many articles.

I would pay $100 just to have it and use it for that 2.5 months.

Originally posted by Carlos Pereira Uh oh, the moderator said PS3, so sorry guys, PS3 it is. No no, seriously nice reviews. It's looking like the PS3 takes the gold but I do have a netflix account (Ryan, check it out at the App Store as well), and netflix is the shit. As far as pricing, I'm thinking I'd like to wait it out, but the only thing with that is it's pointless (other than paying less BEING the point), because game systems will continue coming out, older one's will drop in value, and game console technology will always outgrow the lesser, so I might as well drop the money now. I'm pretty sure they'll be going even lower than $316 (someone's gotta make money somewhere). The plasma I bought, a year ago, weighed in at $3700. I just scored it at Best Buy for less than half that. I'm thinking in the dj world, cdj's are going to be dropping in price like flies. I'm sure everything's looking touch-screen in the next few years or so....even cars for God's sake.

Ok I stopped after reading this post cause I assume it's either the usual random crazyness of this board or the usual ongoing debate of xbox vs ps

But I had to reply to this one because it's a good bet we won't see a new console for another two years or sooo... Personal prefference lays with xBox though...
