You are the reason this forum sucks. I just thought you should know.

And you're an inspiration for birth control.

Seriously, what's with the attitude? ZeWarrior was just stating a true fact, and he is right, since people did initially say that PS3's blu-ray would flop. There's no need to be all pissy JohnDrake.

Piss off hankchill.

I own all consoles so I don't care which version wins. I do not care which format wins. I simply hate fanboys and their pathetic attempts at gloating. It's childish and it brings nothing but more hatred to a hobby that is already plagued with spite and bile. Video game fans have become like racial bigots. ZeWarrior is a perfect example of this fact.

I'm actually surprised to see you support this sort of behavior. Fanboyism is the cancer of our hobby.

I see more and more people signing up at "that other forum" everday.

You would have to be pretty sensitive about the issue (which no doubt you are) to interpret his post that way. His comment was just a reflection of the bias expressed by others.

Right now you sound like the fanboy. A fact is a fact. Don't deny it.

Oh really? lol! And how is that? Why don't you prove your statement?

See kids, this is how bad things have become. You can't even be impartial without being accused of being a fanboy.

Wildly amusing.

arctic_flame · Mar 14, 2008

Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong. But try not to sound like an arse when making your points.

I'm right, you know it, but you are also correct....I can be a bit gruff at times.

But there are people in the World who get a great kick out of watching and fanning the fires of hatred.

To them I say this...

"Are you not entertained?"

Cheers gang, that's all I'm going to say on this subject. If you want to hate someone you don't know over their console of choice please sign up at gamefaqs, 4chan, or any other internet hellhole where the diseased fanboys dwell.

Also "Not currently in talks" is hardly a denial.

Oh brother...

The blog posted on the first page claims:

The comments by Aaron Greenberg, group product manager for Xbox 360, poured cold water on recent speculation that Microsoft could support Blu-ray after Toshiba Corp (6502.T: Quote, Profile, Research), backer of the rival HD DVD format, gave up when key movie studios and retailers abandoned the technology.

"Xbox is not currently in talks with Sony or the Blu-ray Association to integrate Blu-ray into the Xbox experience," Greenberg told Reuters in an interview.

You keep waiting for that Xbox 360 Blu-Ray add on.

Meanwhile back in the real world...

All I'm simply saying is that over a year ago, they said they would make it if the consumers wanted it. I could give fuck all about bluray on the 360.

http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2006/01/11/mo...-a-possibility/

there you go, proof. They said it was a possibility in the past, that's all I was saying. I also stick by my belief that "not currently in talks with..." means fuck all as well.

Proof you say? (It depends on how you interpret Moore's snide comments.)

Microsoft says no Blu-ray for Xbox 360

Article Dated March 13th 2008

And I'm willing to be that your opinion, the opinion of a young video game enthusiast, is trumped by the comments made by a man who is directly in charge of Xbox 360 development. He works for MS, you don't. If you can counter that logic with any sort of reasonable argument, I'd love to hear it.

Until then I have strong reason to believe you don't have a leg to stand on. Blu-Ray and the Xbox 360 will never meet. If Xbox owners had wanted Blu-Ray they would have done what I did....Purchase a PS3. However they didn't. Obviously most Xbox 360 owners do not care about Blu-Ray. MS knows this as well.

Yes, proof as in proof that they said it. Which he did. Again, I don't give a fuck (don't have X360 or PS3 or a Wii for that matter) if it happens or not. I was providing extra information. I never said it was going to happen/not happen. It's not an opinion. My only opinion in my post was that "not currently in talks with..." means dick; because it does.

I'm not currently in talks with Gamestop to buy Smash Brothers, but that doesn't mean I'm never going to buy the game. Wording like that makes me suspicious.

Here's the actual quote:

QUOTE said:

"[Moore] suggested that whatever the outcome of the HD-DVD/Blu-ray war, the Xbox 360 can adopt the dominant format since its uses an external drive. He also suggested that it's a weak point for PlayStation 3, saying Sony's system is stuck with Blu-ray."

That's not proof. He's merely taking a jab at the competition, not suggesting possibility of an external blu-ray add on. Read your sources.

Then I'll say the same for your opinion. Because opinions don't mean dick.

Meanwhile, I'm torrenting HD movies, burning them to normal, non dual-layer DVDs, and playing them on my 360. These new formats are useless.

both of these still have truth to them

and i fail to see how its ironic

ps: blu-ray disks can still be damaged as much as dvds because the protective coating is required as the laser needs a much cleaner surface on a bluray disk than a dvd disk to read it properly
