you guys do realize that it is only assumed that the Wii discs are DVD format, there has not been any official word on that, Nintendo has only stated that they are optical discs, and DVD, HD DVD nad Blu-Ray are all optical discs, though i'm sure they will be a variation of standard or dual layer DVD's its just not official yet, if i'm wrong please post a link proving otherwise.

wow you really think trhe PS3 is gonna have less problems lol, its funny how almost eveybody forgot about the problems with the PS2 which were more widespread than the 360's issues, and with blu-ray and cell, it is bound to have even more problems, its funny out of all the pathetic console fanboys out there the Ps3 sony fanboys are the most pathetic

you do realize mb that less than 3% of the launch systems had this problem, and much less if any at all now, so this problem is not as wide spread as the internet makes it out to be, i bought mys sytem in March and never had any problems at all, and i'm willing to bet there will be a higher rate of problems with the PS3.

only 3% of early shipments had any of these problems, much less than that now if any, i bought my 360 in March and never had any problems at all

you cannot compare an xbox 360 to a dvd player or tivo lol, do either of those have 3 core procescor each core @3.2 GHz, a powerful GPU, 512MB of RAM, there was no logic to your statement, the 360 is probably more powerful than your computer and crammed into a much smaller case

my 360 doesnt make any noticable sounds even when playing game, although one of my friends 360 scared the shit outta me when one of my games was in his sytem i heard this loud as sound and got scraed and opened tray to check my disc for damage it was fine, i also got my 360 like 2 weeks before the system shortage problem was taken care of i remember going nuts trying to find one and ended up ordering it from sears.com then 2 weeks later everyone had them, so my system wasnt one of the first shipments so some of the manufactering bugs had been taken care of, ive never once had a problem with my system.

how come i always hear about the 360 being loud, mine is silent, i mean one of my friends 360's is kinda noisy, but my other 2 friends systems are silent like mine, so i dont see how its the norm for the 360 to be loud, sounds more like a few bad seeds released back in 2005, luckily for me i learned you never ever buy a system at launch unless its from nintendo.

there is no such thing as a bronze account, and no not everyone has a silver account, if someone doesnt have a broadband connection they havent set up a account at all unless they bring there system to a friends house to download stuff.

WTF thats dumb and its in my own hometown, weird how i found this out on joystiq first of all places this is very retarded. i should go slap the school board around.

as i understood it is similer architecture not identical i'll have to look into it, either way fact is its not left over gamecube CPU's and GPU's
