Would you pay $20K for the 720?
http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged...180123079.html
I'm guessing staged. Or some dumbass just dropped $20,000 for a "custom" PC tower shell and will be going through the hassle with ebay of buying a fake item.
agreed. even if it was real, though, microsoft could file a whole shitload of charges against the dude who sold it.Quote:

I agree about the "who cares". To me, graphics are nice enough as they are and I can't imagine 4k TVs will become terribly popular like 1080p did. Considering today's PCs don't really handle 4k video, I can't imagine a gaming console would CHEAPLY handle 4k. I'm not interested in buying another $500 console at launch... $400 is my ceiling and even then it would be hard to convince me unless the games themselves are impressive.
Yeah I think that article also links to a previous article that basically says to notice any difference from say 9 feet away (average distance between couch and main tv) you'd need to purchase like an 80-90" t.v.Quote:

Not to give you tv envy:D but gaming is awesome on the 73inch and here is the 92inch http://www.amazon.com/Mitsubishi-WD-.../dp/B004ZL2O9UQuote:

Granted, I'm gonna have to get a new cell phone in due time because the touchscreen on my current phone is going to shit.
I've been perfectly happy with the TV I've had since 2009, a rather simple and somewhat modest 38" HDTV with only 720p capabilities. I don't need all the fancy gadgets, the internet connected TV, the 1080p, the 50"+, etc. I never even got my 360 until just before 2009, when Xbox and PS2 support were starting to die and I had no choice.
I just don't understand some of it.
LMAO my wife actually will NOT allow gaming on the t.v. instead I'm gaming on my 27" monitor. :smh:Quote:

Let's just say that the only reason I don't still have a flip phone is because I had broken my last three because part of the wiring in the flip broke.
random question for the 360 people here:
what does it mean when your 360 starts beeping on startup, when it starts loading the game? its like a single beep, occasionally it beeps twice. :confused:
That, is a good question. My 360s (both my first 360 that had the disc drive go bad, and my new 360 Slim) have never once beeped, at any point. Something makes me want to believe that it's not good, but I'm definitely curious.Quote:

It looks like some of the details for the hardware and software specs for the PlayStation 4 have made their way online.
The PS4, codenamed Orbis, is expected to be officially announced in January and then debuted later in the year, most likely at E3 in June. Developer kits have been sent out and some of the details of the new system have been leaked. Here you go:
"The dev kits are based on AMD’s A10 APU (Accelerated Processing Unit), which combines both the CPU and GPU in a single unit.
Sources add that the PS4 will include the AMD Radeon HD 7670 video system, based on Turks XT architecture, featuring a 128-bit Bus and GDDR5 1GB of GDDR5 video memory. Each unit will come equipped with either 8GB or 16GB of system RAM, as well as Blu-ray and 256GB hard drives. Sony’s goal, say the anonymous sources, is to run games at 60 frames per second and 1080p resolution."
Solid information or total pile of crap? What do you guys think?
I sure hope the hard drive is MUCH bigger than 250GB for retail.

Seems like kind of a weak card for a system that wont be releasing for at least another year.
Especially if they expect you to download full retail games. However, so long as you can use an off the shelf drive as a replacement, I won't mind since it will keep the initial cost down.Quote:

It's most definitely a weak card. If that's what they plan to put "next gen" games on, I feel VERY bad for the PS4 crowd.Quote:

That's pretty atrocious considering I can run that game at 40-60 fps in 1080p with no issues at all with everything turned all the way up (and I have a MUCH worse video card than what they plan to use and only 8 gigs of ram instead of 16 gigs).
Sounds like a REALLY poor cpu choice by them, unless something is DRASTICALLY optimized compared to it's current PC counterparts.
720 to include blue ray and kinect 2.0 and a port to record live t.v.
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-205_162-...e-report-says/
There's no freakin' way Micro$oft pays $ony the money needed to include a blue ray player in the 360-2. It's not happening. They'd lose money on the first two years, easily between the costs to pay for the rights and the cost of the console.
I remember reading a report long ago that the reason Microsoft supported HD-DVD was to prolong the adoption of Blu-Ray until they could perfect digital distribution. That's the direction Microsoft really wants to go to.
I don't see how the hell they can't include blu ray in the 720. Blu-ray is around to stay, it's not going to disappear. Even if it is Sony's product, the 720 is going to be a failure from day 1 if it doesn't have blu-ray.Quote:

Just to add to this discussion
:smh:
If they are truly going to pay $ony for their blue ray patent, Micro$oft is more desperate than I thought they were.
Not going to believe anything til it comes from the horse's mouth.

March? No way, lol. Unless you meant March for an announcement. That would be possible.
