I have played All Pro a couple of days now. It just feels more solid and realistic compared to Madden. Graphics are pretty good all around. The lack of the NFL license is not bad. The teams they made up have pretty good looking stadiums and I like how you can pick a city to make your team home. I like the concept of building your own team with the legends. It can make for some interesting games. I think 2K has a great beginning with this game. It will be interesting to see how it sell...
This is a definite step in the right direction. Now if they can get it setup that you can access your friends list and msgs(Read and send) while playing games then I would be a lot happier. Nothing worse then getting a message and then having to wait until you finish to even read it.
I'm running Windows XP and have had no problems streaming my music to the 360 while playing games. The current version of Windows Media Player is one program that will stream your music. Another was Windows Media connect which I am not sure if it is used any longer, but you may be able to use that instead of WMP.
I was hoping for a video for Alone in the Dark. I was surprised that game never showed up there. I guess I'll be waiting a bit longer.
Nicely said. I'm waiting for my replacement unit to show up. This will be the third and from what I was told it will also be a refurbished unit. Am I annoyed that this has happened multiple times? Yes, but it's not worth B*ing over. Look.. everyone that bought one had an option to do the extended warranty for about the price of a game. I did and sure has paid off.
I do think MS has dragged their feet a little on this, but I like what I am seeing out of this with extendin...
All I know is August 28th is the release of Heroes: Season 1 on HD DVD which I have my pre-order in at Amazon already. I just wish Fox would get back in the game release the Alien franchise already for BR. Once I get the Alien franchise, Die Hard, and LOTR all on HD or BR I can die a happy guy. The Matrix looks and sounds awesome in HD. Bring on the movies I don't care which format!
I've heard off and on things about those cooling systems. Hell I wish they would just make a PC box and let you add about 8 coolings fans! Seriously though as long as I have a warranty I am not to concerned by it. I figure by the time my warranty expires they will hopefully have this problem fixed.
Even if you have it in a entertainment center it still should not crap out like that. I am now on my 3rd one (My coffin is on the way for my second). The first one I had I would bring out of the TV shelf to play and it still died. The second one I left in and it lasted longer. There really is no reason for it to die like it does. I know people that have theirs pretty well covered with other gadgets and they have had no problems. Does MS have a problem? I believe they do and I do think...
15.1-
Thanks. I sent Major Nelson an email a month or so ago about that idea. I never heard back, but who knows maybe they will implent that down the road. I can't imagine it being that hard of change to do.
I have both and they are not that similar. The fact I can't send a voice message to a friend who is playing another PS3 game sure does suck, or even chat with him if we are playing different games. Not being able to call up a friends list while in a PS3 game is something that needs to be added.
Home sounds impressive but I'll wait to judge until I can actually use it. The PSN also needs to get more content into their store, sure MS has had longer to do this, but Sony has pl...
Some nice points in there. I still would like to see your friends list subdivided so I can separate my friends that are either from work, Websites, or whatever. The Clan idea would probably take care of that though.
After getting my HD-A1 player last June I have not bought one DVD during the last year. I now have 26 HD DVD movies and 5 Blu Ray movies. Although I did buy 1 DVD yesterday since the kids wanted the Sponge Bob movie and they can watch it upstairs. DVD maybe a tad cheaper, but looks nothing like HD DVD or Blu Ray.
I could almost agree with HD DVD being dead if Netflix would stop offering HD DVD and only did Blu Ray. Having Blockbuster not carrying it hurts, but not that much. All it means for people looking to rent HD DVD will just not get it from there. It is not like Blockbuster is the only rental place.
What I find funny is the "war is over" mentality from the BRA every month, but I still see HD DVD players and movies being sold. Lets face it we have more then two types ...
I dunno about the 30 days part, but I agree with you that it will be hacked at some point.
You can enjoy Batman Begins now if you like. All you have to do is get it on HD DVD. =) That movie looks great and the TrueHD sound is awesome on it. Another good one on HD DVD that you have to import is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The details on the dark scenes were good.
The 300 will be interesting to see what the differences are between the HD DVD version and the Blu Ray version. With BD-J not in affect yet makes me wonder if WB will give the Blu Ray version a ...
Graphical the game looks good, but to bad the crappy loading really kills the game. It always seemed like the action was going to get going and then stops to load the next sequence.
I don't buy that BR is needed to make games better at all. Most of the great looking games do not take that long to complete. They look great, but then they are over in less then 15 hours. Look at Crisis on the PC and tell me DVD is not doing ok? Alan Wake for the 360 will be a DVD also. The simple fact of the matter is that Sony used the PS3 to Trojan horse Blu Ray into peoples homes. Do I blame them? Heck no since if it does succeed then it will be a big coup for them. Hell I would ...
zzzzz another boring article on the format war. Neither is going to throw in the towel any time soon. I personaly like the idea of having two formats. One it will drive the prices down faster(we are already seeing this). Two you will get better features since each will continue to try add more bells and whistles.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if no studios were exclusive.
I don't even feel we should even have to think about getting an additional cooler for the 360. I have mine in a pretty good spot that is ventilated and has a fan blowing air onto it and it is now starting to lock up every day. I'm on my second system and if this one goes bad, then I'll just get the system replaced since it is under it's warranty. Funny thing is it locks up worse when it first comes after being turned off for awhile.
This time around though if I do have to se...
Hmm funny thing is I will take old games over some of the newer games anytime. Live has been very good about putting new stuff up each week. Where is Sony's stuff week after week.
Enough with the 1080P thing already. That alone does not make or break a game or deem a network better then the other. Now if only Golden Axe would have been upgraded like the original Prince of Persia. I think developers should look into doing that more and given us the option to playing the u...
