you can only hate a company so much that has gained its investors 20% in the last 3 months on overpriced technology that has been hyped.

they must have the best marketing department in the entire world.

Apple is inferior

6/25/2007 7:09:36 PM

haha. Sorry malice. You didn't win this thread. I went down to the Penguin (Charlotte) and had a couple pitchers of beer, and talked to some friends. Unlike most people i'm not on tww 24/7.

Still no matter what i said one thing still stands...

The only points you brought up were apple.com sites or things you "googled". You didn't bring up a single technical argument or point. You forgot the reason of this thread. If someone bought an xbox 360 and is using it to play media, they obviously didn't spend the 300-400 on AppleTV.

Therefore your original argument (if you can call it that) is pointless, because you didn't address the thread. My point was simple adressing the playback capabilities of the xbox 360 in relation to codecs/decoders.

I brought up quite a few very legit points from the apple website and asked you to dispute them. You didn't address a single one, and all you could do was site apple.com sources and attempt to glorify apple.

You in no way "won" this thread. Any attempt to do so is just stating how you "won" a thread about a topic you weren't even discussing. I admit i did stray from the point of the thread, but i still was able to put forth a legitment discussion until i got pissed because all you did was act like an apple rep. You literally kept giving me http://www.apple.com/[insert argument point here]. That is no way to back a point, and did not address my argument or anyones objective in this thread.

6/26/2007 10:24:35 AM

yes

or perhaps malice appears to have been brainwashed by those "Hi, I'm a PC...and I'm a Mac" commercials

6/26/2007 10:26:34 AM

^ Yeah i'm seriously considering that.

^^I did fall right into arguing with him.

if you must know, i use both OS' at home. So don't preach to me how i need to stop using Vista and get on the mac bandwagon. I'm already on it. But i'm also on the Vista bandwagon. But please keep us posted on when I can start streaming all my hd videos, photos, and music to my xbox360 using only Mac OS X.

since the apple TV is so sophisticated, can i hook up my wireless racing wheel and play Forza 2 on it? Or does it just cost as much as an Xbox360 and only stream video and music?

(means he knows jack shit about what it can do in relation to the 360)

If anyone doesn't know here's what the appletv does. You're able to hook it up to a tv and play music/movies/tv shows from itunes. That's about it. No dvr, no games, no on/off switch, and no decoder support other than what you get when you pay for a tv show through itunes. Which means you'll be playing all those itunes tv shows at 320 by 240 outputting through hdmi to an hdtv. Wow it'll look simply horrible. Those itunes tv shows/movies already look horrible on an sdtv at 320 by 240, i can't imagine an HDTV.

" APPLE TV CAN DO EVERYTHING HE NEEDS AND WIRELESSLY"

Apple TV cannot do ANYTHING I need. It cannot play any of my 360 games. It cannot stream any of my HD tv shows unless its something i bought through itunes. It cannot stream my XM Radio from my computer.

^in itunes defense i think they bumped the res. to 640x480. But still...this is not at all what i'm trying to do. The fact that the 360 is a 'all in one' package is reason enough to NOT buy an apple TV and for an extra $200 you can have a hd-dvd player added to the list

^ 640 by 480? I had no idea. The last tv show i bought from itunes was an episode of the office at 320 by 240 and it looked horrible even on an SDTV through the ipod av cables. I'm glad they finally bumped the res up then.

"Only streams iTunes content--leaving it up to you to get your videos into iTunes; current crop of iTunes movies and TV shows look much worse on a big-screen TV; no HD content on iTunes Store; no support for surround sound audio tracks; can't connect to older non-wide-screen TVs; small 40GB hard drive has only 33GB of usable disk space; oversimplified remote can't control other devices; no ability to purchase iTunes Store content directly through Apple TV; no A/V cables included; no Internet radio support." -CNET
