Didn't see one set up last night.

But I'm in Bumfuck, Texas, so whatever.

I hate when they hook these things up to those little widescreen monitors, 20" or whatever. Then an aisle away they have a dozen bigscreen hdtvs. Bastards. I've told the Circuit City guys they should hook up a pc and show off some FEAR or Oblivion or something. Hook people into two big sales at once.

Lol. I see your point and all....But still, I can't help but think you're being anti-console again here.

Big screens would be nice though.

This was three years ago when consoles barely did HD, and kludgy at that. Nowadays I guess it wouldn't be so bad. Mostly to show people you can hook pcs to hdtvs easily, few know that, apparently. I also quick-checked and my tv is hdcp. I still won't be putting a bluray player in the new pc for a while (until they're $50 or less like DVD), but it's nice to know I can. Researching products ftw.

Anyway, I wasn't being anti-console, I was being pro-big screen :) Imagine guitar hero 2 rocking on a 60" set instead of the little ones they put in the game area...have that viewing sofa all set up...

When I was testing out HDTV's I took my 360 console in with 3 different 720p movie trailers loaded on it (A Scanner Darkly, The Fountain and Pirates of the Caribbean II) plus demos for Burnout 3, Condemned, and... something else I can't remember right now.

Where ever we hooked up the 360, we drew a crowd of both employees and customers. Why they don't have a machine running on their large HDTVs makes no sense to me.

Have you tried the internet? It's made out of millions of people missing the point of everything and then getting angry about it

I checked yesterday afternoon at the Best Buy on the way home.  No PS3 on display, but Sony did buy an endcap and three feet of shelf solely to put a large PS3 advert on it.

No Wii nothin'.  There was one 360, one Cube, and two PS2 playable.

Why am I homeless?  Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.
