Xbox 360 is using 160 watts while PS3 is using 380 watts.

I notice something on the PS3. The fan will run faster if it's getting hotter, so most probably PS3 makan power even more

Off topic a bit : Regarding this watt usage of console system. Where can I buy this 'Electric usage meter' in Malaysia ? Is there any ? I would like to know how much my computer using  Then can budget  very goood device if u renting house. Because u have to share electric bill. Maybe can charge extra or less for different people. U know what i mean 

See the socket also know it is not for malaysia

that most probably means NTSC/UC version will only have English voice-acting track    maybe otakus can d/load the jpn voice-acting track fr marketplace using points   

But arj..the 360 only support Dolby Digital format..why not wait for the price of a dedicated HD-DVD player to be reduced first bfore jumping into it...at least it supoort 5.1 DTS and 7.1..for movie..those sounds format really makes a different....

How much are HD-DVD movies and where can one get them in KL?

Hmm..wonder where u get that info as the process of encoder is ALWAYS depending on its source and output connector???? Excerpt from 360 HD-DVD player review:
"Moving to audio, HD DVD offers support for Dolby Digital Plus and the lossless Dolby TrueHD. However, with no HDMI output and no discreet audio connectors on the add-on unit itself, the best you can hope for with the 360 add-on is a down-mixed Dolby Digital 5.1 signal output via the optical audio output on the component and VGA leads. In the coming months, Microsoft plans to upgrade this output to full-bitrate 1500kbps DTS, which should result in an audio mix that at least gets close to the next gen audio formats HD DVD supports"

Im going to get one of this once the audio capability is upgraded....

EDIT: Another point to consider is that MS had decided NOT to release the HD-DVD drive for the Asian market, deeming lack of HD DVD titles/interest. So if you are interested to get one, it's another stepdown transformer for you, since these addon drives will be operating on North American/Japanese voltages, and no EU HD-DVD release in sight yet.

u sure or not? later if i buy cannot work how? i sell to u

Forget about it, starting next year, all HD-DVD titles will be region-coded....excerpt:
"The DVD Forum, the organisation which oversees the DVD and HD DVD formats, looks set to introduce a region-coding system for the next-generation optical disc technology next year."

'NUFF SAID

Depends. HD-DVD Combo discs (one dise HD DVD, the other side, DVD) sells more expensive, at RM160 after conversion, normal ones with only single side Hd HVD can be as cheap as RM70. These are online prices.

What titles are that store near GH is selling? Might get some from there to try out the drive today.

RM139 for a HDDVD isn't bad at all. Perhaps we should ask Kelvin to bring in Bluray

I went out to Kelvin's after got phone call from Rezal who was outside.Wasnt into football, so im not inclined to join in the howlings later on. Didnt bring my memory unit with my profile as i didnt plan to stay long, so had to fill in the time with GoW single player. Respect for manning the biggest screen in Cineleisure!

redbull..that price in that shop is a fixed 1 ke...normally can bargain or not....

Fcuk man, audiophile's wet dream!

Initial impression on the HD-DVD? Virtually no difference viewing at 1080i compared to the 1080p on Bluray! Jawdroppingly awesome! Colors are vivid, pops out as much as the HDMI connection, i dont see any edge artifacting, and the scenes i have raved about in MI3 in the PS3 thread, is as bloody eyepopping as it is in HD-DVD! The pores, the wrinkles, the bridge scene, the interrogation scene, the Agent Farris rescue, the helicopter chase, the Shanghai color test scene, the emergence from captive scene atop the rooftops of Shanghai, it is ALL there folks! ZERO lag when pulling out the Guide! A perfect gift for those who wants to savor HD Movies at a fraction of the price.

There are some very very minute digital noise at the bridge scene, and microsecond glimpses of scanlines during fast camera pans, and very slight less-than-razor-sharp detailing on things like Julia's hair and such, but this never detracts from what's an already awesome movie transfer for this title. The very same slick movie menu is also present, exactly like the Bluray version. I would heartily recommend this to anyone who wants a more than capable HD-DVD player for that first virgin taste of HD movie experience. At this price point, it is a fcuking STEAL! GET THIS HD-DVD drive before Microsoft realizes that they are selling this addon underpriced!

Alkt bro, you can cekik me all you want, aku rela dicekik, but seriously bro, you will be hard pressed to find any difference , if there are any whatsoever, with the Bluray version of the movie. It really fits its tagline "The Look and Sound of PERFECT!" Microsoft HD-DVD Addon receives a well-deserved 5 out of 5 star from me!
