Is Pee-Ess Three worth the coin?

I reiterate. Steve Jobs is a genius and mac is always the wave of the future. WiFi technology was in use by Macs LOOOOOOONG before PC's started using it.

Hell, Windows Vista is just a shitty copy of OSX.

I didnt mean wifi, i ment teh simple USB connection from HD to TV, browsing, watching/playing DL's etc.

Microsoft is badshit
Apple is worse
& Sony even tried their hand @ the same BS and failed (PSP)

Unless ur a hardcore fanboi, most pple want to be able to use their media on multiple devices without having to reconfigure/convert or basically fuck around.

All of this is of course aside form the HD/blue ray war.
Blue ray is HD, just with huge data capabilities, of course it was going to trump simple HD.
Standard HD was a bridge and a profit opportunity, that would have done better if Sony didn't release teh PS3 when they did, and for the price.
Notice the hundreds shaved of the 360 within a matter of months?

Yes dl's will have their place, but in the meantime blue-ray has the cake, and jobs is hallucinating if he thinks his lil apple tv is going to make much of an impact outside apple-fanz.
The ipod is pain in the arse, and teh A-TV works along the same lines; u need all apple shit, or u have to spend time converting teh files and paying for them again just to play elsewhere...leik teh car.
This attitude is greedy and ridiculous, and personally I would prefer to torrent or rip/burn CD's at least then I can use it in whatever way I choose, mobile, car, mp3 playerz, dvd, ps, pc whatever.

I own a powerbook G4 w/OSX, a PC (it was an HP, but I've moded it so much it hardly resembles the original) w/windows XP, an iPod, I have an AirPort Express for media streaming from my mac, and I use the XBox to stream media from my PC. We also have a laptop with Vista in the house, but I never use it because I can't stand Vista.

I use the PC for web browsing and downloading, and the mac is used for personal things (no, not porn, get your mind out of the gutter).

I really don't have any problems with conversion. Converting media to be used on either just requires a mouse click and time.

As for the HD/Blu-ray thing, I still think Downloads will eventually win the game. That is of course, unless we see the net takeover by the major ISP's. Then, downloading will grind to nearly a halt.

I'm buying the PS3, I watched the Blu-Ray of iron man on a friend's (inferior) HDTV, and it made me cum in my pants.

Nope, bought it on Saturday, got Guitar Hero World Tour (just the guitar part) and the Blu-Ray of Saving Sarah Marshall. Fucking Awesome, both!

Why can't you spend your money on things that will last you? Like a disease-ridden whore. Scratching that itch will be better for your motor functions later down the road anyway.

No, it's because PS3 is the superior technology. Every tech magazine agrees. Why have a top-of-the-line HDTV and use a crappy player?

I can't wait until I get my tv in my room. CAN'T. WAIT.

Wii > PS3.

That's just because Sony should fuck off and die. No comment on 360, except that the Red Ring of Death problem's pretty dumb on Microsoft's part.

I've been sticking with Rock Band and Guitar Hero games, mostly. I love the PS3, don't regret getting it for a second. We use it as a media center as well as a gaming system. Saves me the step of burning shows to dvd; now I can d/l them and stick 'em on a flash drive and watch them on the PS3. SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY.

blu-ray is overrated. It's mostly increased color saturation and not clarity. PS3 is alright, but for a more enjoyable experience go 360. Live is where it's at.

Proof you know shit about anything. Blu-Ray is absolutely about clarity, you dumbfuck. Why do you think a fucking higher pixel count is needed? CLARITY, you fucking moron. Please do refrain from posting this day forward about things you know nothing. I guess this means you need to forever remain silent. 'increased colour saturation'? What a fucking moron.

Blu-ray is destined to fail, not succeed. Sony owns the patent on blu-ray and the player. Other DVD writers and DVD player manufacturers will not conform to the blu-ray monopoly. Neither will the American public.

Blu-ray = fail

Blu-ray is nothing more than a compression engine, you stupid fuck.
