CNN Fails at Gaming

[o.pwuaioc]

You're confusing "device that can play DVDs" with "DVD player".

Since you fail to explain your reasoning, this is what I'm sure you're doing:

But just in case you don't understand, consider the following:



Is this a DVD player that happens to play VHS tapes, or a VHS player that happens to play DVDs?

Why do you assume every time I disagree with you I'm trolling?

As for that, that's a combo DVD-VHS player, which is distinct from a VHS player and a DVD player.

You're the first person I've ever met to make such vapid distinctions.

So why aren't PS2s combo video game console-DVD player?

These are the standard definitions. You're the only one arguing against htem.

So why aren't PS2s combo video game console-DVD player?

Because in the first case the device was designed specifically to act as a transition device for those who already have extensive VHS collections but want to start building up a DVD collection. The PS2 is designed as a game machine.

Why is this so hard for you to grasp?

Your first point is just you talking out your ass, your second point is demonstrably false by Son'y own admission, and to answer your question, it's because to do so, I'd have to grasp meaningless gibberish. A PS2 is both a game console and a DVD player. You're the only person I've ever come across who disagrees. Even Sony disagrees, and I think I trust Sony more than you.

[Hobie-wan]

Ok, everyone just stop. Let's agree to disagree and stop derailing.

[MrPopo]

So I finally noticed your a Ph.D. student in humanities, which explains so much. But just for a laugh, go survey 10 people on the street and ask them this question: "What kind of device is the Playstation 2?"

[o.pwuaioc]

While you're at it, ask them if evolution is a fact. Communio opinionis != facts.

Per Hobie's suggestion, I have to bow out of this conversation. Feel free to have the last jab.

[DinnerX]

What is a fact anyway?
