I know that a blu ray dvd looks killer on my 45 aquos in 1080P. That alone makes it a steal.

Dont think im going to get either one until they get better developed, but if 360 fixes the damn cooling problem, il get that over the PS3.

Buy a cooling stand.

Xbox 360 [end thread]

Hell, to be honest, with all that xbox offers, quality, and the game choice, I'd honestly take an reg xbox over a ps3. Never liked sony since I picked up that green X.

MS fixed that issue a while ago.....that, and its gotta be left in an open air situation. Its even in the owners manual.

As for PS3 vs 360, I am a huge fan of the 360. Graphics are nice, but the game selection, and multimedia extras are a lot better. That, and Live is amazing for online gaming. Then again, I may be biased.

Its a matter of preference. Some simply like the PS3 because its more popular.

You can get Dreamcast boost discs like you do PS2 boot discs...and use it to play Sega graphix engine based games.

FAQ: Can You Play Sega Saturn Games on the Dreamcast?
On occassion I take some time to answer some questions that many new retro gamers ask. This time I will address a popular question about Sega's potential backwards compatability -- will a Dreamcast play Sega Saturn games?

Unfortuantely, the answer is no. The Saturn and Dreamcast are actually very different machines in terms of their processors. This makes backwards compatability quite a challenge.

The Saturn had a very complex architecture which includes two main processors. This is the main reason why there aren't any Saturn emulators that have high compatabilty and run smoothly on older PCs. For this same reason it would have been very expensive and difficult for Sega to implement backwards compatability into the Dreamcast.

It's quite a shame as it would have given games that invested in the Saturn a newer machine to play their favorites on and it would have given the Dreamcast a much better chance of surviving against the PS2 (which does play PSOne games).

If Dreamcasts did play Saturn games, there would be no questions that the Dreamcast would be the ultimate system for retro gamers -- as the combined library of the Saturn and Dreamcast features almost every major 2D fighter and shooter in addition to hundreds of other old school games and great emulator support.

my understanding is that the dreamcast can be used itself as an emulator. i KNOW it can be adapted to play psx games through dc bleem! though i am unsure about saturn stuff. check out the forums at http://snesorama.us/board/ if you cant find any helpful info there try googling yabause

yeah, theres a TON of emulation going on with the dreamcast.. but as far as i know, theres no saturn emulation or backwards compatibility.

its nice though, sega itself released a game called sega smash pack, with like 3 or 4 genesis games on it. someone then realized it was just an emulator and figured out how to package it with *any* roms. the result is a 2 cd set that contains just about EVERY released genesis game, and they all play perfectly

why not just emulate? im 99.9% sure nights is yabause compatable. also i was playing ikaruga on chankast this afternoon and its friken awesome! i dont know why side scrolling shooters ever fell out of favor

DoubleOughtCel · 02-21-2007, 04:58 PM

OMFG, 360 hasn't had a cooling problem in months. I have a 360 from 2005 when aparently everyone on the face of the planet who got a 360 then had it blow up in their faces. Mine has never given me a problem. Go get yourself a PS3 and have a blast playing the newest releases. Motor Storm FTW. BWAHAHHA

indeed, in fact the only game i really want from the 360 is the new 3d sylpheed shooter. and now i hear it may not even be imported so maybe square enix will bring it to ps3
