1. I didn't break my console.
2. Last time we had this discussion I e-mailed Costco customer service and asked them what to do if my 360 broke, and they told me to bring it into the store and I'd get a refund. Feel free to ask them yourself.

it's their job to say that, but we both know what's up.

Er, got the console...absolutely blown away with movies and games so far...omg blu ray looks amazing.

 

[CasioTech]

do you have an amazing tv as well?

Just got the MGS4 Bundle with the $100 GC 🙂

 

[ManBearPig]

yeah, i do have an amazing tv actually. and i got the GC too!

I have a crappy 100 dollar small flat screen TV I won in raffle. I bought the hd component cable for the pS3 (and i have no idea why but this crappy tv has a component input 😕 )

It looks great. Way better than DVD.

Quite a few of my Blu-Rays look just like DVDs.. oh wait, that's because they're MPEG2 😛. Still pissed at Sony for that bullshit.

No go for me. I wasn't sure if I would buy it anyway because I'm still on the fence on Blu-Ray and that would be my primary use of the machine other than a couple of exclusives I would like to play (Uncharted, MGS4). I may just wait a few more months until I'm absolutely convinced another competitor isn't going to show up to rival Blu.

wal-mart is giving away an $100 gift card along with the purchase of the bundle.

Wow, Best Buy sucks more balls than I thought. I asked the guy at my local Best Buy if they are doing the price match with Wal-Mart, and he said his manager won't do it. I asked why, and he said he didn't give a reason. I like the fvcking "price match whenever we want guarantee" they have. Nice. :roll:

It's not going to happen.

- All of the studios and every electronics manufacturer except Toshiba have committed to Blu-ray. There is no chance at all that a rival physical format will be given a chance for at least another 4-5 years, probably not then.
- Toshiba is not planning to come out with a new disc format in 6 months. That wild net rumor was based on them creating a new chip for better standard DVD upscaling.
- PS3 sales for May 2008 are 255% of sales last May.
- Some players are under $300 now (Wal-mart has one for $298 before getting $100 GC), and will probably hit $199 for Black Friday.
- Blu-ray disc sales market share vs. standard DVD has climbed from 5% up to 10% this year (Nielsen/Videoscan, see TheDigitalBits.com)

Downloads will still be low-bitrate 720p garbage for the forseeable future, and Comcast HD cable is even worse very-low-bitrate MPEG2.
