Does anybody find it kind of, well....dumb, to put PC in the 360 and PS3 comparison?
I think this sentence kind of had me a bit confused-
"The PC, meanwhile, is not really an HD platform at the moment."
They're basing that statement off the fact that PC's don't come with a HD-DVD or Blu-ray player. This is mostly true, but some do.
But why would they say that, when PC's are more then capable at running games much higher then 1280x1080?
Then their's this paragraph-
"At the moment, HDCP-capable monitors are coming onto the market, in the form of the 30" HP LP3065, and some of Dell's new UltraSharp displays. HDCP-capable graphics cards are basically the new breed of DirectX 10 / Windows Vista compliant cards, namely the GeForce 8800 at this point"
Now the first part of the paragraph is ****ing stupid. That 30" HP monitor goes for almost $2,000. Now for $2,000 you could get a 42" Sharp Aquos LCD HDTV that supports 1080p.
"HDCP-capable graphics cards are basically the new breed of DirectX 10 / Windows Vista compliant cards, namely the GeForce 8800 at this point"
Ummm, wtf? Their are plenty of cards that support HDCP, just look at the link below me for a full list-
