"Consoles are now so far behind PCs",,,,,Can you elaborate?
In terms of # of users, i'm pretty sure consoles are waaaay ahead.
In terms of graphic, it's a tough one. PC's can look better, but that would be comparing Apples ($1500+) and Oranges ($300+). To add, one doesn't have to worry about upgrading parts on a concole. And, consoles can look pretty damn good in HD.
In terms of usability, it's up to the user. I like my RTS and FPS games on the pc, but sports and action games are great with a controller. and nothing beats having ppl over playing face 2 face on the sofa.

just my .02$

Another attention whore making an 8 ball prediction. Throwing a prediction within a 12 month window. Pure genius.

Other than it being a sweet looking ext. drive, a person can make one pretty easily. However, with the 8300HD receiver, I found it unstable to begin with. Missed recording or recording would be broken into more than one piece. Once I attached my own external drive, it became a lot more unstable with its recordings. Just my $0.02.

News like this make me happy i moved to Bell Expressvu. This coming from a guys that was with Rogers for 2 years. Sure with Bell I get the 'rare' outtage due to weather, but the HD PRV receiver doesn't compare to Rogers. The Rogers receiver was brutal, requireing a hard bootup every few days.

I have a tough time believing that MS will start producing games on BR, nor do I see 3rd party developers doing so. Not only would they screw all the early adoptors, they also won't find the number of buyers of those games.

If MS does release the BR drive, it'll be for movies only (imho). As an early adoptor like the millions out there, I thinking we're going to get the shaft. MS has our money. There really is no benefit for them to make an external drive. The new 360's with BR will only gear towards buyers that are on the fence and don't already own a ps3 or 360. I hope i'm wrong about this.

The way I look at it, as long as the driver doesn't need to move their head to view the GPS display, it's all good. However, I do see a potential issue of having to touch the display when required. Imagine yourself driving, the car is shaking slightly, you are required to raise your arm over your shoulder trying to make route changes with the display. Sure there might be voice functionality, but that ain't perfect either.

Just my $.02, but unless people voting actually used all the DVR's, I can't help but question the validity of this poll. I'm thinking it'll be more of a popularity contest instead.
