Guess What I bought!

Necrosis · Jan 20, 2008, 01:26 AM

Can you guess what I bought? Can anyone? You have 2 days to guess. To those that already know don't tell (but still vote). It definitely will be a surprise to all that know me.

P4raDoXx · Jan 20, 2008, 01:33 AM

i dont know you but im guna take a stab at it: you bought a Mac, and judging by your sig, its unexpected because your a self proclamed mac-hater

**Mousey** · Jan 20, 2008, 01:44 AM

I'mma guessing a 360 to go with your HDTVs ;p

You've become the proud owner of a new Dell gaming machine and you're selling your old rig on ebay.

OmegaRED · Jan 20, 2008, 04:16 AM

I voted Wii but I don't see what the fuss is all about if it's either of the gaming systems. Maybe if you snagged $2000 worth of games and hardware along with it...

Customgamer1 · Jan 20, 2008, 04:44 AM

My guess is 360.

It would be the only logical buy since the PS3 is worthless

Lowfat · Jan 20, 2008, 04:47 AM

Hopefully a 360, as it is the only good console out there

I have a Wii... haven't touched it in 4 months. PS3... not going to waste my time

**temeteus82** · Jan 20, 2008, 09:19 AM

PS3

Tril · Jan 20, 2008, 11:31 AM

You finally got tired of shovelling the snow all winter and you bought a snowblower.

CDsDontBurn · Jan 20, 2008, 12:50 PM

i'm voting a ps3 only because it's a cheap BR player, and it seems that BR is coming out on top now.

riles9262 · Jan 20, 2008, 02:44 PM

I'm guessing a ps3, made by your favouritist company in the whole wide world.

I'm changing my vote to a Tony Little Gazelle.

Guess what you're right, and this is the whole reason I made this thread because of my known "hatred" of Sony.

The reason why I bought a PS3 is I needed a stand alone Blu-Ray player. So why a PS3, especially after everything I've said? Well first here is my list.

Profile 2.0 support
I don't care about 7.1 since my room layout doesn't allow for side speakers.
Cost, I purchased the 40GB version. It's over my $300.00 rule but it's like I spent $300 on a Blu-Ray player, and $99.99 on a console.
Easy updates/content via wifi. If you have a standard player whether it be HD DVD or Blu-Ray you have to either hardwire it or get an adapter. So if you're lucky you can get a decent Blu-Ray player for $399.00 plus the cost of your selected solution. Which would easily put the cost back up around $500.00. Everyone may laugh but this is probably the biggest reason I purchased it.
Heck, to just try some thing new.
I needed a player for my 65" Mitsubishi Projection, which is my "movie" TV. It already has a HD DVD player.
Having to watch my Blu-Ray movies on a 2407WFP w/ a LG HD DVD/Blu-Ray combo drive. Which I purchased for being able to rip the movies if need be, and to have access to both media. I have a nice Klipsch setup but still it's not as comfortable as my main setup.

Note: My 360 (w/ HD DVD add on) is on the 32" Panasonic LCD in my bedroom. Eventually the PS3 will be moved there once it's replaced by a later generation player later this year or early next. So once it's moved it'll be used for gaming if I choose. It's nice having my gaming systems hidden away so any family kids won't beg to play it. This of course will be a problem w/ the PS3 plus it'll be on an older projection which there is rules about burn-in.

I still favor HD DVD, I haven't switched sides. I'm just more balanced on being format neutral.

Judas · Jan 22, 2008, 06:57 PM

aww... owned..

could peiced together something that should be able to hook up to the tv and play back both hd/br via rip...

Customgamer1 · Jan 22, 2008, 10:26 PM

A PS3 SDL:FJ:OSHG:SHDF:HSDF:LJF NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOL

Well I hope you enjoy it. I bet I hate Sony as much as you.

I am looking at the Samsung blu-ray player. I still would never buy a Sony product, but the player I am looking at is still over $300 at $330 so I have to wait and it's only spec 1.0, but i don't care about special features.

mainman · Jan 23, 2008, 01:34 AM

PS3 for sure..OMG how could you??!! LMAO

BlueMak · Jan 23, 2008, 02:37 AM

Still would of been hard to do under $400.00 unless I already had some decent parts laying around. Never mind all the extra work of having to rip before play.

Let me put it this way this thing better work very well. If I were you I would look at the Panasonic player instead.
