One big limitation on the 360 is that you cannot put any of your downloadable videos that you did not download from Xbox Live directly on your 360 HDD.

Say for instance you have a lot of .avi's on an external HDD that you would like to watch on your TV.

360: You cannot directly transfer the videos from the external HDD onto the 360 HDD. So anytime you want to watch a movie from that HDD on your 360, you have to have the external HDD hooked up to your 360.

PS3: You CAN directly transfer the videos from the external HDD onto the PS3 HDD. You no longer need to hook up the external drive (whether it be a HDD, flash drive, etc.) as you can just copy it directly onto the PS3's HDD.

This is a glaring flaw with the 360 that could easily have been avoided, but MS still "owns" the content on your HDD even though you own the actual 360. All in all a horrible decision since your use of your 360 HDD is limited as a result.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
