I think you're completely mistaken. For the family that *already has* a 360--which numbers over 10 million in the US--I'm sure they would much rather get a free upgrade that lets them stream Netflix via that 360 than they would to spend an extra $100 and have to connect *yet another device* to their TV.

On the issue of noise, while it's true that the earlier 360's were loud, the new ones really aren't very loud at all (yes, I own one). The DVD drive is really the loudest part of the new 360's, and when streaming a movie that won't be spinning at all, making the 360--you guessed it--almost dead silent. And really, even with the old 360's you're not going to hear the thing over the sound of the tv if you have it turned up enough to actually, you know, HEAR it :)

It's also worth pointing out that people on the fence about getting a 360 may be additionally swayed by the inclusion of netflix support, which will undoubtedly be touted in big friendly letters on the box.

Sorry for keeping this off-topic..

But i dont think little timmy would give up playing games while he would let his parents watch movies on the 360. And about the older 360 being loud.. yeah mines loud.

Back on topic.
The thing that sucks about having movies online now and it being more widespread, is the prices are more likely to go up. The prices are ridiculous on sony's movie service.. ~$5 for HD?.. no thanks.

Yeah the prices on both MS and Sony's services are ridiculous (they're pretty much identical, unfortunately), which is why I think the Netflix deal is an important and good deal. Besides, in all truth HD is a fairly worthless technology for 90% of movies out there. Crap movies remain crap even in HD, and good movies that aren't special effects laden don't really benefit either, as the draw there is the acting, writing and direction, not how many pores you can count on the actor's face.

As for little Timmy, he can have a dose of nyquil and go the fuck to bed when it's movie time. Little bastard :)
 
Hey after seeing the sony presentation at e3 i was very dissapointed in the lack of games that were exclusive for the PS3, compared to the xbox 360.

Question here...Im still debating on which system to get but im leaning more towards getting a 360 just because of games like fable 2 and gears of war 1 & 2. Now are there still games that were not mentioned at e3 that are coming out for the PS3 as exclusive?

And is it just me? But there are hardly any rpgs at all for the PS3...
 
RPGs are a bit of a sore subject for the PS3 right now. White Knight Story is coming... but we haven't seen anything of it for ages, which is a little concerning.
 
Yeah... sadly they've shamed themselves with the graphics on that one (and admitted it too). Should still be good though.
