How is Microsoft "lying"?? This is NPD reporting.

Congrats to Microsoft. There's really nothing else to say.

Steve Ballmer explicitly stated that the Xbox 360 was the best selling console WORLDWIDE for the year 2011. This is being reported across the interwebs.

And you seem hell bent in not understanding that PSX was no ordinary Playstation. It was a heavily modified system that had video inputs built in to allow for such function. In fact, it was an actual DVR with the ability to play Playstation games. That's pretty much how Wikipedia describes it.

The patent in question is a totally different method that can be done thru software and broadband. Apples to Oranges is Apples to Oranges.

You can watch live tv and record shows with the 360's Media Center. Of course your PC must have a tv tuner, and the shows are actually recorded on the PC. But it seems they are looking to change that. I'm guessing it would be a Nextbox feature.

@TC

That's cool. But can the PS3 do that on it's own? Do you need a third party adapter to accomplish this? Can the actual "console" do this? This is where this patent comes into play.

@mrantimatter

No. Mr Hinkle was to busy adding his own twist to this news.

According to the original article from Tom's Guide, this patent relates to being able to record stuff WHILE you are gaming. And record stuff WHILE the system is turned OFF. Things that have never being done before on a console. But ofcouse, instead of reporting the news at hand, he babbles on about why this feature has not been implemented yet. Perhaps the Nextbox Mr. Hinkle? Perhaps?

This sucks. Fios is only available in a very small percentage of the country. Which means, not many people will use it, even if they wanted to. I was hoping for a true IPTV service that we can all use and enjoy.
