Those of us who use it care. I watch Blurays weekly, as do many other people.

This; compression for the NAY.

P.S. Didn't you just post a picture of a XBox game, aka physical media, on Facebook yesterday?

This is true! I still think its a dead concept though!

PCs have used online services like Steam for years to download games free of any physical media. I really hope the next generation of consoles use a similar service.

Post more examples, Tom. That wasn't quite enough for anyone to get the point.

Anywho, it came with a free xbox 360 4GB (i didn't know they make one that small). It's black and came with one controller.
She really wants to get a kinect, but basically I car dvd players don't play video games anymore and all I can do use basic features with these things.

I just heard that I can just plug in my external HD and watch movies from it. (Something you can't do with PS3 )

Anywho, advice appreciated as always.

Hey what is your review about your new Xbox? I am thinking of purchasing it should I?

[turbotalon1g]

I haven't really used it that much, we really don't play video games so I'm happy it was free.
Kinect is really fun, even though we don't have any of the dance games.

I don't like that you have to pay for online access, so I use my PS3 for netflix.

:Like:

And the whole streaming/downloaded bluray's vs disc media.

it's not even a contest. I buy a lot of blurays but still stream all sorts of 1080p stuff. Hell even normal comcast rentals or tv or even direct TV that is 1080p looks like shit compared to a blu ray.

I spent a shit ton of money on my nice TV and to use it in a worthwhile fashion you need a good starting point. Shit in shit out otherwise. If you want to watch steaming or downloaded movies, buy walmart tv's and be happy as you won't see the advantage.

This reminds me of people who used to and still do say they don't see a difference between HD and SD tv. It's not that they don't some people just don't want to pay for the difference.

Reminds me of good HDMI cables vs shitty ones too, I have done back to back and its easily noticeable when using a proper constructed cable. If you watch enough movies/play enough games its worth it to get the good stuff, if not I would probably cheap out too.
