Kurgen said:I won a 60 gig PS3 in a local raffle contest and for Christmas received the 360 HD DVD drive for my 360.While Blue Ray does look very nice, HD DVD is superior imo, both for image and color qualirty(Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is a MUST import HD DVD).
I've got Resistance and Full Auto 2 for my PS3 and so far enjoy them alot.While i do like my 360 better than my PS3, i don't think either wil fade away any time soon.I thought i was going to get a Wii for Christmas also, but thankfully got the Zune i wanted instead.
While i do believe the PS3 won't suffer the horrible fate everyone thinks it will suffer, i firmly do believe that HD DVD (at least at this point) is clearly poised to win the next gen HD disc war.After comparing both BluRay and HD DVD side by side on 42 inch 1080p lcds(with 8 discs 4HDDVD 4 BluRay) it becomes clear at least for now, which the better format is.One thing that BluRay touts that is absolutely meaningless is "Lossless audio".All LA really does is take up lots more room on the discs and is not superior(in actual use) to the other digital formats, such as DTS and True HD.At least for now, don't believe the hype.

There are some movies that have not been upconverted properly example taleganights that came with the first ps3's, my friend thought dam blueray sucks, he went to the store and they told him telegaknights sucks, it's the worst blueray movie ever. So not all movies are created equal. Honestly if you have hd-dvd running at 1080i and blueray at 1080p unless you are close to the screen you will not notice much difference. I suspect blueray may have an edge because it can hold more memory media it is able to adapt to future's needs, so in the future you might see more extras on the blueray, more content. HD-DVD is pretty good priced with the 360, I would consider it dirt cheap since you can adapt it to a pc, mac and such, in two years time will tell when both hd and blueray become more affortable.

Juan Sanchez said:I do have some major gripes with the system though.
1. It ruins the graphics on PS1 and PS2 games. Fired up Parrappa the Rappa and it was a pixelated mess on the PS3 but ran it on the PS2 (sans Texture smoothing) and it looks fine. Did the same thing on Ratchet Deadlocked, and again the game looks like ass. When I called Sony to RMA my system (more on that later) they said that a software fix was on the way.
2, I don't think Blu-Ray will win. Reports have shown that their are 10x more HD-DVD players in homes then Blu-Ray players. Even with the PS3 I don't think Blu-Ray has a chance, and feel that it may go the way of UMD, MD, and Beta.
3. Even the $500 system is overpriced. I don't care if Sony thinks we the people are getting this tremendous bargain. $500-$600 for a videogame system is ridiculous. No games need 50 GBs of storage, dual layer DVDs would of been fine (Gears comes on a DVD and it's graphics are sharper then RFoM) I'm convinced the only reason the system is so overpriced is because of the Blu-Ray. If Sony made it an option like the Xbox 360's HD-DVD, then Sony could of had each system $200 cheaper, matching the 360's core and premium packs. Heck Sony could of marketed the 20GB system as a true deal, as Sony 20 GB model cost less then MS' 20GB model, and with the ability to play simalar game (granted the PS3 versions have slightly worse graphics and FPS, but you delt with that on the PS2) if Sony stuck with DVD they would win this generation hands down. But instead they wanted to trojan horse Blu-Ray into gamers living room and charge their customers for the opportunity.
4. Geforce Graphics. I love my 7900 GT, but I will be the first person to admit, ATI's card just put out a better picture. If it wasn't that the 7900GT's were such a great bargain, I would of gotten an X1900. Anyway, the PS3's graphics chip(RSX) is roughly equal to a geforce 7800 GTX (at least thats what an nVidia spokesman told me at E3). The chip in the 360 (XENOS) is about equal to an X1900 XT. So just in terms of performance the Xenos is more powerfull then the RSX, it doesn't blow it away, but it is more powerfull. But, the best part about ATI cards is how much crisper their image is compared to nVidia's cards.
What I love about the PS3 is not the hardware. But the customer service. Yup, the PS3 I initially purchase kept shutting down because the fan in it refused to spool up when the temps climed. Called Sony and within 3 Days I had a brand new PS3. They initially said, it would be 7-10 days, and I didn't get too upset, because well my 360 and Wii have better games then the PS3, so I'll play those till they get it back to me. Funny thing is I started wanting to play Resistance. I was so thankfull that they got it back to me so quick. Sony didn't question me with stupid questions (is your system getting enough air, did you wet your system, did you drop it, did you wrap it in a blanket, did you put it in an entertainment system...I went through that BS with my 360). Instead they were quick to reply and wanted to get me gaming again asap.

bembol said:^ That sounds too easy. Is that a U.S. thing?
Up here anything over $200 CAN falls under Service Plan. Sure you can get it replaced but they said you'll have to go through the "process," meaning they have to send it out for repairs three time which also means 2 months waiting period.
This is what Best Buy told me.
Yes you do NOT need the original packaging. Just the item and accessories. They should also reimburse you for part of the replacement plan cost. If they hassle you just show them there own brosure for the rpelacement plan and cash in clause.AeonF1 said:Hmm... do I need the original packaging to cash in? I inadverdantly bought a Creative MP3 player a couple months ago along with the replacement plan, can I just give them the unit and head phones, the pamplet w/receipt and say I'm not satisfied and they will just give me store credit? I don't even use the damn thing anymore.

One of the major players in blueray is apple wich are some of the trend setters, Disney, samsung makes some of the best lcds, they have a lot of support.
I dont get that happening with my PS3, id send your system back,Slade said:I'm hoping a patch may come out to address this because I have no clue what's causing it. I've resorted to making sure all cellphones, my headset, my wiimotes, my wii are unplugged or off when I start up the ps3 and nada, it still randomly disconnects my controller. So the only thing I can do is blame the system. I've already confirmed with my cousin that his PS3 does this as well with both of his controllers, so I think it's a defect.
Jasonx82 said:What the heck? You people playing GT:HD You guys get more then 1 track + 1 shitty car??
Jiffylush said:afaik you do only get one track (but you can run it backwards), but you get 10 or 12 cars, and after you unlock all the cars you get 'drift' as an addition to the regular time-trial. I am pretty much done with unlocking it now after 3-5 hours (could have taken less time), but I will probably keep running it occasionally to drop my times.
