Yes, the Xbox money set aside did cost them a decent drop in the bucket, but that doesn't mean they will spend all of the set aside money for console work. Investors/directors will allow this process to go on for several more years. MS does things for the long haul and if you invest in...

I can't even come up with a good reply for this.......so here is a bad stab. I guess comparing the effect on Xbox to Microsoft's revenue stream is about like comparing the amount spent by Exxon on hookers and blow. A small drop in the bucket drop in the bucket when you have other cash...

This was my understanding of the upscaling features. I'm trying to find the Phil Harrison comment at the moment. If you do enable upscaling on the PS1/PS2 games then it is completely bypassing the EE chip and being done entirely in the software emulation realm. I sadly don't have a PS3...

Each week I think the spinsters can't get any more spin and they keep impressing me. Here is the one for next week. "Blu Ray has achieved 100% sales victory over HD DVD*" *Please note: This is for all devices which serve as a primary gaming device which do not require additional...

I wonder if they are using the FCC definition of broadband. which by the way is an absolutely fing joke. 200 kilobits per second. http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/highspeedinternet.html Wow, with that type of blazing speed. I can download a movie in a bit over a month. I think...

I'm man enough to mention that I own Best Buy stock. I've held a few thousand shares for a long period of time. I original bought it went it was trading for less than 20 bucks. since then it has been through 3 separate stock splits and pays decent dividends. So my return on investment has...

The Wiis are still a bit difficult to find but what I've found with Target is they typically don't put them on the shelves for Sunday ads. I went in Sunday around 12:30 and they still had four units left. None on the shelf you just needed to ask for one. As for the 360 I'm not surprised...

Correct, my only thinking to this line was since they appear to have the diode cost getting under control. the add cost reduction to their per unit basis with a die shrink. Would be most beneficial to their bottom line. This may also lead to a cost reduction to the consumer, doubtful but...

So does anyone have any real data on the PS3 transition to .65. I've read a couple of IBM reports that say they were already producing the Cell at .65 back in March. If this is the case that is a good lead on MS, I wonder how long until we see PS3s on the shelf that have them in it.

Damn screwed up my own story. I fail at life.

The following is just a rant about corporate stupidity. At the end of the day I don't care about these two. I can write my code, surf the web and read e-mail just fine. Pot met Kettle, Kettle met Pot. Pot and Kettle have a nice life according to Pot. Pot is big and can do what he...

Actually, The "ATI" portion of AMD also posted a net loss for the quarter in question. Unfortunately we don't have a breakdown of the profit margins between CPU and GPU. The fact that AMD had to tangle with Intel and compete on price hurt them severely. You can see it with...

AMD is in a bit of rough shape. I hope they can get healthy again. Otherwise I highly doubt Intel will innovate any more than Microsoft does. http://yahoo.brand.edgar-online.com/fetchFilingFrameset.aspx?dcn=0001193125-07-085240&Type=HTML

Maybe they should have packaged those instead of showing the waffer around. Still exciting news though.

Sadly, what most don't realize is it a simple way for them to avoid paying taxes. Well not entirely avoid, but by taking a $1 a base compensation you don't have to deal with a base pay of $1million. So it is a way for them to reduce their bottom line. So in essence all they are doing is...

I call SNAFU, All the die hards were able to pickup their console on day 1. Now, you are just getting other "casuals" who are picking them up slowly. The rest of the demand will have to be driven by content. I personally want a PS3 but there is very little content to make me want to...

No the HD isn't the only difference between the two models. Here is a direct link to Sony's site about the models. http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/About/ProductDetails For those too lazy to click on a link. The PLAYSTATION®3 20GB HDD includes: * Cell Broadband Engine™ advanced...

At retail the price difference was $100 U.S. The 20 gig was $499.99 and the 60 gig was $599.99.

Kind of off the topic. But does anyone have the NPD numbers for the first 3 months the XBOX360 was in market. I am curious to see what the NPD sales numbers in comparison for the first 3 months of the PS3.
