Not trying to defend Angrist here or anything but I think you missed his point as did the others.

I don't think he means to say that he doesn't wish Wii had better graphics. But for quite some time, we have all known that the Wii wouldn't offer state of the art next gen graphics. And I guess most have come to terms with that. What they will offer or try to offer is a new way to play games. We have to wait on that.

However, the biggest reason to switch from xbox to 360 or from ps2 to ps3 is its increase in graphics. Hence, if there is not a large margin of difference between the graphics, which I find untrue anyhow. Then there is no real need for the systems.

But some people THINK they need to spend 3 or 4k to do the exact same thing. A better PC it is yes. but i dont understand why some people think they need it when you can spend much much less and still run any game at full settings.

Yeah....

I'd go with water cooling, top of the line processor, top of the line dueling video cards, 7.1 surround sound, sound card that supports my sound set up, a top of the line LCD monitor, a nice reclining chair that swivels and maybe does other stuff, the mini fridge on my desk, and maybe 8 gigs of ram and a terabyte of space or two if I had 3 or 4k sitting around. :p

Don't get me wrong, my 900 dollar PC can run most games damn well up to this point.

By using this adverb I was indicating my understanding that a person could notice a graphical difference on a regular TV, but would not get the full effect unless they were playing the game on a high definition television set. I believe this concurs with Dyne's explanation of his own, original post.

I wrote the post as a sarcastic comment that people who were buying an XBox360 would not really get their money's worth unless they also bought or already owned an HDTV.

You, Stu, either misread my post or took it too literally and stated that HDTVs could do more than just video games.

My second post was a reply to your post clarifying and restating the intent and meaning behind my first post. I, regretfully, neglected to include the previous mentioned adverb of "fully," or some form of synonym.

This led to your second misunderstanding in which you believed I either misread Dyne's original post or exaggerated to prove a point (which I did neither).

This, my third post, has been written to hopefully clear up any confusion over one simple sarcastic comment. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

* Link1130 shrugs and walks away

my last post was replying to your second message...the part that I quoted specifically. i didnt go back and read your original message, so that's partly my fault.

and you're right........a cow would need to learn how to milk itself.
