Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Thank you Hi everyone, just wanted to ask, whther it’s the right time to buy XBox360 now. as some people i heard from saying the ‘Modified’ Xbox360 is currently facing some problem and not many gameconsole dealers are selling it.

Maybe they know something microsoft doesn’t know about. The rise of the sony playstation was phenomenal and the volume of consoles they’ve sold over the years is beyond imagination, unless they falsely claim that they have sold x millions of ps one units. I guess no one will really know if piracy actually helped sony snatch the number one position from nintendo a few years ago. Maybe they actually planned it that way and probably recovered loses by the number of consoles sold, rather than from the software sales. If say, MS becomes lax on piracy, would it produce the same results? Maybe not at the onset but it might one day get them the number one spot but for what price? I don’t think MS is will to lose money just to be number one. Microsoft looses 30% on each xbox 360 sold, but getd it back in the games.

You can go online witha nme-360 chip and it is the flashed dvd drives that are now detectable by MS. It is worth getting the chip for this reason alone and well worth a 2 second job changing the format of the image. Do your homework! nem112 – you are very mistaken!

Even with a 4-core powermac (which has 1 extra chip compared to the 360), the architecture will not allow for the type of operations required to run these games. Basically, there is a direct memory channel between the graphics chip and the cpus that is used for real-time vector generation. Those individual blades of grass in tiger woods, for example, are not stored in the game...they are generated in real-time using grass-producing algorithms (each blade is slightly different based on some paramters), and carried over a dedicated data bus to the graphics card. Your quad-core ppc doesn't have this dedicated bus, so it would have a very hard time keeping up or even displaying those blades of grass at all. As these systems get more complex, they will be substatially harder to emulate without VERY powerful hardware.
