Console

[fook3d]

I now have Resistance: Fall Of Man. Now that's a great game that's worth the money.

Currently, I think thats the best game thats out. I had that since launch and now have numerous others, Which i dont remember because i played them once and laid them to rest at the bottom of a drawer.

Right now, For games, Xbox has a good advantage, But as PS normally has some of the best i think PS will take the lead with games when some good titles come out. Grand theft... should be a good game, I just wish they made a new final fantasy to add to the collection that had as much "life" in it as FF7 but with new graphics and a new sweet storyline. Except FF7, The others in the series were too short and boring for me.

@ the OP:

I prefer consoles because a 50" beats a 28" any day. Add to that the fact that consoles dont lag lag a mofo when there is 40 players in the game shooting and talking like maniacs and consoles will always have the edge for me, Regardless of if the graphics are slightly better.

Another great thing about the PS3 is that it has a blu ray drive build in, So when/if blu-ray become the most used media, You will be prepared. With current blu ray players around the same price as a PS3 anyway, Your basically getting the gaming side of it for free and paying for the blu ray player.

Just wish there was already mods out so i didnt have to pay the prices i do for games

My friend bought Heavenly Sword and brought it to my house to play. I thought it was awesome, but I have the tv for it too, which makes a huge difference. I have 5 games myself, 3 bought on ebay. I'm sure you all know the great deals you can get there; give it time and each game for whatever system drops considerably online. I bought Rainbow 6 Las Vegas which still sells for 69.99, though you can get it for 59.99 (canadian dollars), for 80us combined shipping with Oblivion - now that's a huge savings. I also bought Planet Earth on bluray for 40US online, bought Happy Feet for 12US.

I bought DiRT and Ghost Recon 2 at the store, but during special promotions so the price was relatively good.
I think it's entirely worth it. I'm not a rich guy but I think I'm pretty good with money since I don't blow it on boozing or going out all the time like lots of friends. You need to remember too though that a lot of people are still students here, so money is tight I'm a student too but have a good job.

Oh, and to the people talking about modding, my friend on ps3 release day got a 20gb ps3. The following day, he had it modded and fitted with a 500gb hd. He's not the most knowledgeable when it comes to that stuff, he just has a lot of friends who know how to do that stuff. I considered it but I'm just not willing to risk breaking my ps3, since they had a close call with his.

Dude you don't have to mod the PS3 to put in another hard drive.

You just pop the old one and put the new one in.

It takes a slightly common laptop drive. I plan on getting a 200-250 GB drive (probably from newegg) for about $70.

I plan on getting GTA IV on the 360. It'll have more content from XBL.

There are some games that I'll definitely get on PS3.

MGS 4
Little Big Planet
Unreal Tourney III (can use mods made for PC)

PS3 might be choice for multiplatform FPSs since you can use a mouse.



This seems like THE perfect controller that I've been talking about for years.

Analog control for movement, mouse control for looking

I don't like the Wii simply because you can't rest your right arm anywhere. Who wants to hold their arm up all the time light gun stylee to play FPSs?

ok so i went to the game shop and saw an 20gb Xbox360, he said its pre-flashed.
on internet i saw like 4 version of one flasher method, i believe they're for constant flashing, like newer games need new flash, isnt?
and whats the diffrent between elite version and normal one, ist the 120Gb HDD and HDMi or something else.
do i need bigger HDD? i wont be downloading game from live but i probably mount backups if thats possible on the referred machine .

went to wal-mart last nite and saw an xbox360 for sale for $350. wow, price sure has came down a lot. thought about getting one for a sec... for a sec.

[Seedler]

All you have is a mere 7600GS, that's midrange a few months ago at best.

Don't expect to max out games with a x-months old midrange (now prolly low-end) card.

I understand but if they were to do a price drop I would think $50 is the spot.

I don't normally see permanent $5 price drops is all.

Hell I'm not even opening my Halo 3 cuz I think I can get it for $12 less (that and Bioshock).:cheapbastard:
