What happend to simply getting a DVD player and hooking it up to your 5.1 and tv? Seriously, i dont give a rats ass about new media updates for a console, i want better graphics and better games. I have a computer for movies and crap. WII FTW.

That was... dumb.

Exactly how? Consoles are meant for games. Giving them all this media crap is just way to much. I dont pay for a console to play movies off of it, i pay to play games. Simply put.

Well I think these upgrades are a good idea - I haven't got a ps3/xbox 360 yet and I don't plan to till next christmas maybe - Feel sorry for current owners though

I can remember a console, being a console, a console. Not requiring updating and re-releasing and bags of buzzed media stuff to rally people to buy the next botched version.

Why can`t a console be released - and there u go - this is it, no problems ?

Sure they`re gonna be revisions and tweaks, but the used to be of the positive variety and not to patch up botched and misses promises of what u`r unit should be doing anyway (according to previous press release boasts).

And prehaps have a guarantee (not a purchasing guarantee) that it will work for 5 years.

And and and when are consumers gonna pressure them enough to just release a Box - that has universal game ports, universal media ports, universal networking ports, universal storage ports, universal display ports ?? That`d be more interesting.

Freakin 3rd generation.

Or rather, this box we all know and love, is just used for games like the good old times. Yoiu buy it, put a game in it, and play. Period. No movies, no internet, no TV, notta. Just a simple box to hook up and play.

I love the media functions of the 360 and long may MS expand them

I know you won’t agree with me, but the market is changing, console makers have realised that they can sell more consoles if they aim for a much wider target market. Which is exactly what they’re doing? It's all about bringing things forward, not just remaking old things a little better.

On a side note, the HDMI port has not been comfirmed by microsoft as of yet. They say they make prototypes all the time to experiment. So this *may* never see the light of the day. Personally i think it will.

I feel sorry for all the peeps that went out brought the orignal Xbxo 360..

Doesn't this mean, they will all have to upgrade theres to play new games?

Or keep up with times?

Not at all, all it means is that they don't have HDMI, which is fine for me as I have no TV with HDMI

And you will be able to buy a 120gb HDD if you wish (I have no need for it currently)
