In 1954, the introduction of color TV heralded the dawn of a new era in entertainment. On November 19, more than 50 years after that dramatic shift, a new era in home entertainment begins with the New Xbox Experience, as millions of Xbox 360 consoles transform in an instant through the power of software.

Your Avatar is your online identity.

A bold new future begins now, where high-definition (HD) entertainment is delivered in an instant, the best games share the stage with the best movies and TV shows, and every experience is shared with friends and family in the same room or around the world.

This is new to the 360 how? I've been using my 360 to watch movies, listen to my music and play my games since I got it.

Are you referring to the ability to save all these things on the 360's HD? If so, that was always possible with Music, I had heard Games were going to be possible to do this soon and Movies, well, if Games are, why not Movies?

Personally, the 360 is becoming another form of PC, in my opinion. Not that I mind, of course :)

Kinda with Jindo on this one. While it would be cool to get an update on the success of these things going on, this is "new" news.
 

Seb!

They are putting media into one box.

Movies, Music, Games.

All there doing is giving you a crappy version of the Mii and the annoying responsibility of pressing Play Game every time you turn it on.

Party Chat is cool. Chat is one of the reasons why Xbox is better than PS3 and makes the Wii out of the question as of Online Play.

Wii Fitness is also a joke..

It is a "computer", but it's not even close to the desktop computers we currently have. There is no way, without a mouse or keyboard, that you can easily browse the internet, nor does it even have an internet browser.

I don't know, Wii Fitness is pretty cool, and the new games that are coming out for the balance board are pretty cool looking too. To each their own, if thats what it takes to get kids that normally wouldn't go outside to exercise, then thats a great way.

If you call moving your legs up and down on some board exercise.. bleh..

I was trying it at my friends house and the ONLY thing that got me a little moving was the running/jogging activity that penalizes you for "running too fast". But even with that, you don't use the board and just run with the remote..

You can do all that on a PS3 (with a USB mouse and keyboard) and can also install Linux on it if you wanted.

> But xbox is still best rated system..
I wonder where you get all your ideas from..

> Chat is one of the reasons why Xbox is better than PS3 and makes the Wii out of the question as of Online Play.
Why? We have a mic for Wii now :p..

> Wii Fitness is also a joke..
So you've never tried that.. and you've never seen how much it has sold.

> If you call moving your legs up and down on some board exercise.. bleh..
So now it's confirmed that you haven't even seen it in use :p..

> There is no way, without a mouse or keyboard, that you can easily browse the internet
We can use keyboard for Wii, though :p.


If someone thinks this is something new here.. he must've been living under a rock the last 10 years.

everyone knows it.. thats like saying WoW is not most popular MMORPG

most wii users don't have it, online support for wii is terrible

Wii Fitness is also a joke..
>So you've never tried that.. and you've never seen how much it has sold.

i have tried it, played for 1-2 hours at friends house, seen people "rush to buy it" on black friday cause it was 50% off.. yeah they need that much discount for people to buy..

If you call moving your legs up and down on some board exercise.. bleh..
>So now it's confirmed that you haven't even seen it in use :p..

yoga, you try to balance on a board.. omg.. aerobic exericse, you can run with some dog and if u "run to fast" u fall.. u can walk across a rope by "balancing"

There is no way, without a mouse or keyboard, that you can easily browse the internet
>We can use keyboard for Wii, though :p.

>If someone thinks this is something new here.. he must've been living under a rock the last 10 years.

I didn't. I don't. I won't.

It was never 50% here. It was sold out anyway.

> yoga, you try to balance on a board.. omg.. aerobic exericse, you can run with some dog and if u "run to fast" u fall.. u can walk across a rope by "balancing"
That already makes it better than any other game. Moving is better than sitting ;)!

> too bad online support sucks for wii once again..
Opera for Wii is much faster than FireFox for my PC.

> nah i just been playing the good consoles..
You begin to sound like a kid here...

Xbox 360 is not my favourite type of console but the games that have been released for it are awesome expecially GEARSofWAR 2 but still i think PlayStation3 is better:D

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
