I just can't believe saying HD Twin's is a derogatory term and I was warned for that, even though they are both HD both sport Online networks, both use the same exact controller, both focus on 'hardcore' gaming, both compete for the top end machine boxes, both try to be multimedia centers.

The difference being that one uses Blu-Ray.

It is what it is though.

Heck they both got Net Flix recently. Both have DVD play back.

you have never been formally warned for it, and that is news to me that it is derogatory

Well it is the same way people say the Wii is a gamecube excuse, right? Do you find that dergatory?

Lol, that is a strange warning. I say it all the time.

Even if the 360 fans are fed up with people like me who own a ps3, I know that a lot of them only speak out i frustration of having to deal with some of the ps3 fans. It goes both ways really, but I have thrown aside any MS x Sony attitudes. We are brothers and should act like it.

Even if I will never buy another MS console again after the nightmares of both xbox and 360, I still agree that they've had a LOT of killer apps and are very much worth the purchase.

HD Twins is a great moniker. Because we really are brothers.

Well, for starters, the Wii is definitely not a GC as it is way more powerful (sadly the devs don't use said power very often) and has a fairly different feature set. Two GC ducttaped together is a much closer description. I however have never seen that saying in any form of neutral way and is almost exclusively used to troll the system.

HD Twins I guess could be used for trolling, but I've always seen it used in HD vs. Wii sales in which case I've seen it totally neutral as a way to refer to both systems that generally offer the same feature set. However, I guess someone might get upset that the HD consoles have to join forces just to stand a chance against the inferrior GC's ducttaped together.

EDIT: as a note, I never say HD Twins, as PS360 is so much easier.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

A lot of people use HD TWINS to insult just like using fanboy, while both word arent really insults, they are used as such. HD twins is used to say that both system are basicly the same, there is no difference, they have the same games and such. But in reality, they are quite different and have their own uniqueness.

Again, fanboy is not a bad word, but the way its used is to insult, thus the reason we have a problem with it.

I think you should be moderated for making coffee shoot out of my nose. That hurt.....soooooo gooooood

@psrock

Yeah, I can understand that now. Can't believe I've never really noticed it before but it is saying they're exactly the same. I use it just to save time, but like I said already, I like both very much, and I agree they are very very different.

I guess it's because it's just not as aggressive as "brown gamers", so I didn't notice.
