HUH?!?!?!?

Who here understands this guy?!?!?

Im an incoherrant ninja. Its funny because when i speak to people and I talk constantly to people , no one ever has a problem understanding my points/

I think its because the way i type is the way I talk and alot of you guys portray your points through the way you type where as i portray my feelings better through the way i talk and it causes misunderstandings.

I know no one understood that but i did so whatever.

[dorian gray]

haha, babies are so durn cute.
anyway, on topic: some nerd told me that 360 acts as an HD-DVD player? Is this true? If so, how? When HD-DVD players are costing at minimum $500, I dunno.
Just wondering cuz I'm eventually going to get an HD-DVD player but I might as well get a 360 if this is true.
Good ol consumer logic. Always a wise decision

Neverwinter Nights II. This game is ruling me!

It ruled.

BF2142 is like crack. Still not as great as BF2, but so awesome.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

I wasn't too keen on the BF2142 demo. And I don't much like the fact that it comes with spyware.

And Dorian, the 360 does not come with the ability to play HD-DVD. You have to buy a $200 add-on. Also, as of now, they have no plans to use HD-DVD as a game format. It'll only be for movies.

I didn't think I'd like it either, but I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I don't like that it comes with spyware either, but I figure it can't be that bad.

 

[dorian gray]

Thanks for the info, dudes. I think I just revert to watching BETA. Screw technology.
