Not one comment from someone who got Burnout, wants to play online, and got rejected because of no HDD?

So basically this is anti-360 fodder for fanboy morons...

righting is easy

what is the big deel heer?

To be fair to the reporter... they were probably just asking the very same questions as the audience would which is actually common interview technique.

NPR's audience (despite me being a part of it) mostly consists of opinionated old-timers that want nothing to do with the vidja games.

There's a difference here, Christopher, between what IPTV really is (which is ALWAYS streaming on-demand content) and what a lot of people think it is. I can't tell what Joystiq thinks it is honestly. In some posts you guys recognize that it's not a DVR "record show" deal but in others (like this post) you're somehow shocked that there is no actual analog/digital "here then gone" signal like broadcast TV or cable.

You can do "live TV" over IPTV but in a sense it's on-demand anyway and that is probably what is going to happen... clicking 'channel-up' will not really switch a tuner's channel but instead will start grabbing a "live" stream of what is currently "on".

The confusion comes from people thinking they can 'record' programs to the 360 when actually there is no need to. Everything is recorded on the server... you click the show you want to watch and it plays.

I think the way it was demoed might have been confusing. I have seen the videos from last year so I get how people could have been mislead. I just thought you guys knew better.

I'm wondering if that no-name Chinese company can build you a box with all the security these broadcast networks and content providers are DEMANDING in order to provide this on-demand IPTV content without help from Microsoft.

James,

are you dense?

this is what IPTV is and always has been...

false actually

EGM did a pretty big story on this and MS/Sony have people that will turn games like these down.

oh god... you're one of them

and Nintendo keeps letting this happen via the old: "Quality is in the eye of the beholder"

this will not be good for them in the long run

I never understood how a component cable is "clutter"... it's still one freakin' cable.

Just so everyone knows... this will not let you have upscaled DVDs.
