Microsteal doing what they do best! Stealing ideas from another comapny! Go on Microsteal, go take the slot loading Blu-Ray drive right out of the PS3 and pop it in the Ca$hBox 360 but, don't forget to do what you always do when you steal something, charge triple what the original designer would charge.

I agree we should be able to play games and watch movies with out choosing sides as consumers.

copying son of a b's! they better not steal PS3's Home and they better not steal Blu Ray!

You got it.

Wow you posters get more immature by the second. Does sony pay you to come waste your life posting this garbage on here? I sure hope so.

Wow you guys just made no sense whatsoever. If my MS implements blu-ray to the 360 it would be in the form of an add-on(like the hd-dvd). They wouldnt be using BD for game storage...are you really that dense? Really too all the stuff you name (wifi, liunux) the point is that you have the choice, id be willing to bet that if Sony could go back an re-do the ps3 launch with a bare-bones and a decent premium at the same 300-400 that MS sold at theyd do it in a heartbeat. The biggest thing thats been hurting sony is price, its out of reach even still for a large amount of people. Really why is hd-dvd so lame btw? It gives you the same picture quality(not quite as crisp sound) and far more interactive features, atleast for the time being. Either your just a jackass whose flame-baiting or your handicapped. Im hoping for your sake your just a prick.

Microsteal has been stealing stuff far before they entered the gaming world with Winblows and there other crap products so it aint just the Sexbox that sucks it's the entire company (although personally I hate the Sexbox most cause it is a hypocritical pile of ugly trash).

The guy above me is so stupid it hurts. I can't wait to see what you post next Justin XD

Justingraziano, just so you know Apple stole the GUI from Xerox, then MS( at the time working with Apple) made a verion of the Xerox GUI and put it out on the market befor Apple got the Mac out. In the lawsuit that followed, Apple claimed the "look and feel" of there GUI was protected by copyright. The judge dismissed it.

QDOS or 86-DOS was acquired by MS for only $50,000 from SCP in July, 1981. That is where MS-DOS(The best OS ever made) came from.

and whats this ***** with sides, this isn't a *****ing gang war!!

Sorry for the typo on my previous post...



Back to the topic. Two days ago I made a joke here on Qj about MS adopting Blu-ray. Well...Its no joke anymore I can tell you that!

Anyway, I think that MS needs to get permission to use blu-ray by the patent owner which is sony right? (correct me if I'm wrong)Now the really interesting question is Will Sony sign a contract with MS ???

Um I believe it was Pelican (Third Party) that made the first motion sensor pack for a console. PS2 was built with an HDD slot, and PS2 came out before the XBOX. Also the N64 was the first console with the abiltiy to play online.

If you don't work for Sony and you don't have all your money invested in Sony stock then why do you care so much? You sound like you need a girlfriend or something. Fanboys are losers.

u all r fighting over hd-dvd vs bluray format... ps3 uses blu ray for games and movies... x360 uses dl dvd for games and hd-dvd for movies... so what if bluray wins?... even if microsoft go on with bluray i dont think they r going to remake every game into bluray... and what about the people who still is g2 own a dl dvd x360?... thats just stupid.

Actually, Chu Chu Rocket for Dreamcast was the first console title to offer online multiplayer (via teh intarweb)



N64 had something similar, but it was dial-up modem based IIRC. And if you want to go that route, Tele-Genesis for the MegaDrive/Genesis was the first addon that let you play over dialup. Don't forget about the 14.4kb sega saturn modem neither

Sure it is. That's why they've got colors, your blu's and red's. lol

Truth be told though, people don't take time to look at specs any more, they just buy brand names. We are living in a trendy generation.



For example, I didn't really feel that Halo 3 brought anything new to the table other than some more detailed character models. Level detail still suffers, and so did the play time. They really made it for online play and just pasted a story on to the end of it.

Sony was merely the people who first went from discs scanned by red lasers to blue lasers. It's predictable that other people will adept to this new technology and make their own blue laser discs to store more information on the discs.



Since the wavelednght of a blue laser is much smaller then that of a red laser, we can store much more information by making the pits (that store binary coding that the laser reads) much smaller and hence having many more of them on the disc.

Oh and you can't forget that the Super Famicom had an online download service to download demos (Called the "BS" version of the game.)

And Nintendo had motion sensing on the NES. It's called the Power Glove. Love it.

I laugh...I'm too lazy to search for it, but I remember reading an article where XBots were saying siht like "M$ would never go BD! Why the F would they wanna pay royalties to $ony? That's like saying Pepsi paying CocaCola to be a supplier, etc, etc."



*Sigh*



M$ is smart not implementing the HD-DVD in their XBlowx711. A BD add-on was surely in their plans as a back-up option...so sad that they had to waste money with their HD-DVD technology. Next up, they're gonna make their Live version of "Home" and call it "CRIB!" FTW

look though ms can be bastards i have never seen the 360 as trash its good ms hasnt forced people to do anything unlike sonys you must have blu ray you must do this that the other. Take note one of the many reasons ive never given ps3 credit is because sony lied more than all politicians in the world 10x over sonys false promises have astounded me but when i hear ms being called liars sony hasnt got a sensual background either to go on.....



now thats over and done with onto the issue. i believe this is good consumers should the hd format fail which despite propaganda is still holding firm, only time can tell if it will fall or if bluray dies first, either way ms is providing the consumer an option (unlike sonys blu ray of die stratergy)



ps i am biast towards 360 but i wouldnt be if sony could have been truthful about their product and not confusing shipped with sold.
