CNET MAILBAG: Xbox 360 vs. PS3: fanboy edition

2009-03-05
hello everyone I'm Molly would welcome to the cnet mailbag the show where we answer all your questions even the really mad ones about prize fights and speaking of which let's get right into it not surprisingly fans of the PlayStation 3 were not happy when it recently lost its prize fight against the xbox 360 here are some of your responses but FYI I left out all the ones with lots of swearing you people get mad William from New York rights just finished the prize fight between 360 and ps3 the last category bang for the buck should have been for the ps3 for a hundred dollars you get Wi-Fi Bluetooth blu-ray free internet access the blu-ray alone is worth well over one hundred dollars I'm a brian Tong fan but stop reading the fights nick says just in regards to your 360 vs ps3 video it's nice to know where Microsoft's money is going straight into your pockets you guys really have to quit with this rubbish bias and hatred that the US media seem to want to have for the ps3 and paul wrote quite a long analysis breaking down the prize fights flaws by category and ending with this sorry to say but this prize fight stinks of bias the ps3 is newer and better hardware with a price that's appropriate for what you get if you researched at all how much it cost to produce the respected products compared to what you get you would clearly see this why is it always about bias with you guys do you seriously think that Microsoft pays us off really because they don't believe me also I'm not trying to start this up all over again but it's pretty obvious that the ps3 is too expensive because Sony isn't selling any and everyone's pretty sure they're finally going to drop the price by a hundred bucks because they're now totally desperate I'm just saying too expensive in other prizefight email mike says in the newest prizefight clips vs sure did Jasmine Donald and Brian tried on the earphones if they all did it is fairly unhygienic especially when they were in ear headphones I like Donald and Jasmine's reviews therefore I really hope their ears are fine after sharing millions of bacteria with each other yeah Mike I heard that prize fight was like a visit to Madame Tussauds Wax everywhere okay here's some more fanboy male jack says I am really really really curious and upset that Y is a Power Core connected to the macbook pro in video of Wilson tang showing how to make widgets live on desktop I always believed and proud that apple notebook is one of the best computer with longest battery life so what was the Power Core for does this recording process take more than three to four hours to get all the juice out of the macbook pro please please please watch this for the next videos Apple fans are not happy to see this again Wow seriously you can't stand to see a plugged in macbook pro because that suggests the possibility that the battery life might not be more awesome than every other computer wow dude you fan boys needed toughen up and fanboy Joel rights why did you be little apple hi Molly I'm mad I just watched the buzz report my favorite show it was going good then it happened you did a story about phone makers agreeing to change to universal charger by 2010 then you lose it and say Apple are the only ones against change excuse me Molly you're wrong the ipod is the device of the century and Apple has not changed the charger since and that's after two iphones and two ipod touches you know how much times i lost broke forget my charger and I was always able to get another from my old ipods to friends even at restaurants where my phone was low on battery let's see another phone or device do that Wow well Joel Apple didn't actually introduce the dock connector until the 3rd generation iPod first they went through firewire and then they dumped that and then they switch to USB and then they dumped that and then they went to the doc and sure a lot of accessories use the dock but a lot of them only work with older ipods like how the really expensive kit in my car doesn't recognize my iPhone even though it's the standard dock connector so it's not like they're so married to the dock standard and let's not even get into apples forced marches and eventual abandonment toward firewire DVI and now the all-new midi display board okay i am mad today and finally just one more thing that you were mad about aj says haven't finished watching the buzz report episode for FEHB 19 because i'm sitting through a 60 plus second commercial for verizon what that crap is what is really clogging the tubes what is with that yeah I am also not happy about that and I have no impassioned defense of it it was totally a technological screw up and we would never purposely subject you to 60 second ads I am very sorry and I am NOT happy about all those lost streams because it only happened on my show and on that note let's end this angry angry mailbag please do keep sending your mail and i'll try not to yell at you so much next time mailbag at cnet com or send your snail mail to 235 second street san francisco california 94 105 thanks for watching everyone
