Users who have a 360 are almost forced to watch their movies on a separate DVD player, or the PS3 due to the noise. :p

Crrrk...this your pilot bill. speaking we want to remind you that due to the lack of standard angles and elevations used on normal drives you may experience slight console vibration along with some severe turbulence and want to remind you this is normal and there's nothing you can do about unless you want to be banned.
thank-you for understanding and thank-you for flying X360 airliners.

How did this turn into a thread to troll about the 360? Silly fanboys...
It's not a big suprise as being a BlueRay player and the other multimedia aspects are marketed as much as the gaming aspect these days.
Would be even funnier to see how small a percentage of the time kids use their cell phones to actually make calls compaired to text and etc...

this doesn't suprise me, most kids are smart enough to use the media features, if you combine that with torrents and PS3 media server you basically don't need cable anymore (well you do for football of course :) )

It was jokingly...Partly. Only desperation would require you to use a 360 as a DVD player, unless you like to pretend your favorite actors are in a room next to a wind tunnel. :D

Well I have two old style 360s and they are very quiet. I would say they do a lousy job on upconverting DVD. DVDs look way better on my normal DVD player and yes I am using HDMI...But then again I bought them to play games on and that rocks...lol
I also use my cell phone to make calls (GASP)...

It's long been known that the avg PS3 user is upwards of 10 years older than the avg 360 user as well.

the only console equivalent that i had given by my parents was the commodore 64 and i inherited that.
i think people forgot the NES was also $199.00 and came bundled with SMB/Duckhunt and the laser gun, prices of consoles have relatively remained the same. software went from $20 to $30, $30 to $40, $40 to $50, and $50 to $60.
