| That I actually knew but had forgotten! I still think they should have done more about it before launch but there's not a lot that can be done now lol. Still, like you said we've made our points and there's no point continuing the discussion. |

See this is exactly why I can't take you seriously. You spout off nonsense like this when you don't even know what you're talking about. Do a little fact checking beforehand.
Xbox 360 is backwards compatible. It can play a huge array of Xbox games and their list is constantly being updated. The PS3 on the other hand just seems to have problems playing them: http://news.cnet.co.uk/gamesgear/0,39029682,49288660,00.htm
And like I said before it downscales while the 360 upscales. There are videos all over youtube showing it.
Also, the Xbox plays CDs and DVD's as well! Where is this coming from?
And the Wii, for Christs sake its a gaming machine, what does it need a DVD player for? That's what DVD players are for. Another reason the system is competetively priced. Plus the Wii is getting a DVD player in the future, as an option. Unlike the Blu-Ray, again, which is forced on you.
And as it being backwards compatible, check your facts for Christs sake. The Wii is 100% backwards compatible with the Gamecube. Every single Gamecube game works on it. Not to mention all of the great Virtual Console games downloadable off their Shopping Channel (from NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, TurboGrafx 16 and soon Neo Geo).
I'm honestly done with this though. Your arguments are ridiculous and unfounded.[/url] |
Personal attacks will NOT be tolerated on this forum. No exceptions. I am closing this thread and this is a warning. Continue to attack the person making the points and not the points themselves, and you, and anyone else will be suspended for 3 days. Continue after that and you are looking at a ban. There is never any excuse for personal attacks. I have discussed this with Zanko and he agrees that this kind of behaviour does not belong on this forum. Consider this a formal warning. |
