what the fuck?RSTEIN said:Man... Microsoft is quickly becoming the Britney Spears of the console wars. Once a fresh face, the 360 excited us with her sexy moves and innocent eyes. Now the innocence is gone... the moves flat... and it's desperately whoring itself around town while stoned on prescription drugs. The PS3 (Christina Aguilara), while not as popular initially, is now demonstrating that skill triumphs over style in the long run.
Please Microsoft, please come back to me

disappeared said:I'm beginning to agree with those who've said that if a new SKU were in the cards, it would have probably leaked by now. A little disappointing, since I still don't trust most of the 360s out on the shelves.
gcubed said:hd-dvd add-ons plummeted to like 50 bucks. What if MS was going to replace the premium with an HD-DVD internal premium at the same price, just a new sku thing. Again this is all conspiracy theory because MS is a huge and wildly successful corporation and i dont think they would have ever gotten caught with their pants down, but SOMETHING has to be up, because they cant be just "we underestimated demand"
either way like i said in my previous post, bravo to MS for tightening that ship up to a point where no one can even squeeze a fart out of it.
The games dont need the 12x DVD drive BTW. My PGR4 and COD4 are saying no. After some time at both games, the drive stops spinning, I play the game as usual, no problems, I only hear the laser working. If I go to another level or the main menu, the drive starts to spin at about 4-6x, which is really barely noticeable, and both games work fine, without any delays or extra loading time.squatingyeti said:Umm, no they didn't. Not even freaking close. They decreased in price again after the Warner announcement. Also, for the millionth time, games come on DVD, games need a 12X DVD drive, HD-DVD does not read DVDs @ 12X. There's also no way MS would eat the extra cost to include the HD-DVD in the pro system. If there EVER was a HD-DVD 360, it certainly was not the pro. So, that doesn't explain why the pro system is in short supply.
Not to put fuel on this one way or the other, but do you *really* think that would have been an issue? I mean I might be missing some deep understanding of the HD-DVD format, but I find it utterly ludicrous to believe that HD-DVD drives capable of reading DVDs at 12x are an impossibility. I mean, really think about what you're saying for a second...squatingyeti said:Also, for the millionth time, games come on DVD, games need a 12X DVD drive, HD-DVD does not read DVDs @ 12X.

I didnt had any stuttering or increased loading times in COD4 or PGR4. It just loads about 1-2 seconds longer as usual. The laser still keeps on reading, everything works fine. I also have a friend on XBL who has the same "issue" with Gears of War (talking about heavy streaming)squatingyeti said:No one said they're impossible, I did say they're not out. Even @ 8X DVD read, that's as fast as they go and those are more expensive than a 2X or 4X.
@Hellraizor, yes they do have mods that can reduce the speed to 8X. However, that increases load times on all games. It can also increase stuttering on games that have heavy disc streaming.
Do either of you think MS would do that? Firstly, it would increase the cost of the pro. No way around it, MS isn't going to eat that. Secondly, imagine the problem trying to explain why some people's games take longer to load or stutter. PR nightmare.
