Why do people follow up with their names when we can clearly see who posted the comment even before actually reading it. Looks like blowing your own horn to me.

MS has their console strategy straight right now, console first (no HD, no supercapacity optical, splurging on devkits and if necessary, developers), entertainment second (WMCE broadcast point, HDDVD addon), and no possibility of being a PC pivot.

Sony seems like they want a convergence, they're not pushing anything really more than the other right now. It might have it's own flavour of Linux for general computing with a decent HD, it has what might seem like a midrange BRDVD player for entertainment, and you can always count on Sony for some of that good old Nipponese support as a gaming console.

The 'retard' PS3's will sell hot for that two reasons: Sony would never enforce HDMI, not for another generation until it's absolutely standard, and you are getting a set top box media centre that will play your existing collection along with the new stuff. Developers only need at the most 1gig for swap space, and that's guaranteed w/ a 20gig HD, so the retard version doesn't hurt you like it did w/ the x360.

Regardless if you want or you can handle the HD offered by both, it's being forced onto you with both systems, just MS prefers to do this as needed instead of in one lump sum. The difference in power between the systems is a wash, the gaming capability of either systems is pretty much the same, now the future purchases depend on what else you might want to do with it.

Not that I expect Sony to follow through on their So'nix and P-Station Live...

You sign your letter when Dailytech forces you to post your username. A second showing of your name, identical to your username, is just shoving it down our throats much like another company.

Maybe English class can teach you the proper use of commas, too.
