I was right on the HD size (500 GB).

 

[KaOTiK]

My feelings so far.

windows + x360 OS

 

[cliftonite]

It can play TV, but it can't record it? That's... pretty lame. :\

EDIT:



I wonder if it's like the 360 where it requires certain service providers. The 360 already has a Comcast app.

TIVO patents $$$$$

Silent is nice, because in my opinion, the 360 is too loud for any video playing. The PS3 is definitely nicer for things like Netflix.

Integrated battery in the controller, but they didn't say whether they fixed the d-pad! 😱

It's on spiketv. Great quality.

USb 3.0, Bluray, 8GB RAM, 64bit, Silent, 3 OS's in one Windows Kernel, 1080p Camera at 30FPS

it better be silent after the jet engine that was the 360
glad it has BR but pretty much everyone expected that or it would have been DOA for many

 

[Pheran]

Thank goodness they were smart enough not to put a touchscreen on the controller.

I like the way it looks, I'm tired of goofy looking consoles sitting under my TV. I still have the original style PS3 and I hate that damn sloped top.

He just said the new kinect can read your heartbeat. Dayum. I frankly don't believe it.

I have an old original PS3 and a newer 360 slim. The PS3 sounds like an airplane while the 360 is silent and can't be heard.

It really depends on which version you have.

agree. PS3s shape is annoying as hell. much prefer simple rectangles

 

[Dominato3r]

"living in persistent worlds" MMOs?

EA is up

My launch PS3 was getting loud. Blow it out with air, a lot of dust builds up over time and makes it run a lot hotter and louder then it should. Once I blew mine out and was nice and quiet again.

I have an 80GB fat PS3, original white 360, gloss black 360, matte black 360 and slim PS3. All of my PS3s are quiet, but none of my 360s are. It makes sense, because the PS3's fan is significantly bigger so it can move more air at lower RPMs. The 360 uses a small 40mm fan.

I think both current consoles look fine, but I agree that flat tops work better because you can stack things on them easily.

and, not in.

 

[Doppel]

Did I get that right: their new xbl servers will let a game host on those and thy are more than just a match maker?

Both my slims are quiet but my elite and pro are loud as hell along with my original PS3

Good tip, thanks.

about half an hour in and all they've talked about using it for tv, Kinect, and live. only game portion was the brief mention about being able to dvr video of a game being played. seems odd to me the lack of game coverage so far.

That's what E3 is for, I think. Or they don't want to blow all their load since E3 is just a couple weeks away.
