"If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1200 bucks for it." Sony

Wrong discussion, buddy.
But it's ok...we understand.

Erm. you DON'T need hdmi. Its nice, its better, but it isn't absolutely essential. I don't know a whole lot of people spending over $2000 (really its more like $3000) on a TV where you would see the visual difference between component and HDMI.

The native resolution of the 360 is 720p (ok yeah, a FEW games do true 1080p without the scaler). Why would you HAVE to have hdmi?

It would have been nice if they included HDMI 1.3 (the elite doens't do hdmi 1.3 keep in mind) so you could get Dolby TrueHD with the HD-DVD add-on. If it wasn't for that I would get the hd-dvd drive.

WafflesID6172d ago

Hmm. I got some people who disagree.

Maybe there is more to the HDMI issue. But seriously...can someone tell me why HDMI is essential? It seems to me like component would be ESSENTIAL and HDMI would just be nice to have.

Can anyone point me to any comparisons that show the difference between HDMI and Component 1080p?

I did a quick google search and I actually found some people that suggest component actually has better colors than HDMI/DVI and on consumer devices its a moot point. In fact it seems like the big push for HDMI is mostly because the big companies want the HDCP DRM. That and again the only way to get Dolby TrueHD is with hdmi which is a moot point with the 360.

So really, how can you possibly disagree with the statement that you don't NEED hdmi?

Well, what did you expect? they need to justify why they paid $600 for on a PS3 when they could have brought a 360 + Wii. They probably don't even own a HD TV, let alone HDMI cables.

"Ya know, things break"
-Peter Moore on the subject of system failures

That's just brilliant.

I'm surprised there isn't anything on BC.

"Microsoft is dedicated to solving all hardware failures, but we will never openly discuss the reason behind the failure rate."

Just kidding again.

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk1d 18h ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast1d 18h ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk1d 18h ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
