Everyone always forgets Ramza and Delita.
At least the 360 can do 5.1, which is still awesome. The Wii, lacking digital output maxes out at matrixed 2 channel sound.
How do you get 5.1 or 7.1 channels from a Wii? It doesn't have digital output, does it?
If the game did have some influence, blame the parents. They're the ones who let a minor buy and play a violent video game.
They missed Blast Corps.
I think it's the sprites and cel shaded Final Fantasy Tactics.
That site really needs an editor. Talk about horrible grammar...
I'm all for gay rights and there's nothing wrong with being gay.
Is XBOX Live really an appropriate outlet to discuss / proclaim your sexuality? Aren't we here to play games?
Let's get back to using Live for what it was designed: complaining about how Mom is making you stop before you've finished your mission. ;)
I guess it could work if they threw a 1TB drive on it and offered all games for d/l on PSN. You'd really piss off retailers and is a huge drive really a cost saver over a Blu-ray drive?
Awesome! Glad my PS3 plays PS2 games. Now off to finish P3:FES.
I would've put SCE Santa Monica and Digital Polyphony as 1 and 2. Take one game from each of those and they've probably sold more than all the other games from the other 3.
The cost difference is generally so small today that you might as well get a 1080p set. I chose one because I also use my gaming TV as my main computer monitor. The difference in 720p and 1080p is very apparent on a computer desktop.
The image issue you're talking about with LCDs is called ghosting. I rarely see it with my set. Lockpicking with Fallout 3 was about the only place.
120Hz sets create no extra lag if you turn the image enhancement off (called AMP on Samsung).
The image retention on a plasma was the killer for me. That and static health bars in some games don't mix well. That and that plasmas are heavier, run hotter, and cost about 30% more to use led me to LCD.
Chaos, 720i is not an approved HD resolution, 720p is.
Horrible guide. Why mislead people?
"Typically refers to the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. For example, 480,720 and 1080 are the standard resolutions for TV displays. Appended on the end of this number is either a p or an i (720i, 720p) this describes how the pixels are written to the screen. Progressive (p) writes from left to right top to bottom every pixel every frame. Interlaced (i) writes from left to right top to bottom every other ...
I think it has to do with the HDCP handshakes. The PS3 had a problem early on with Westinghouse TVs hooked up through HDMI.
HDCP just adds another layer of complexity and another place for problems.
I don't have this problem with my 360 hooked up with HDMI on a repeating Onkyo receiver. But, I hope that it gets fixed for those who are having the problem.
Excellent comment. Fads come and fads go. When you build on quality, you may not climb as quickly, but you don't fall as hard.
The 360 and PS3 have much stronger software libraries, and that's what drives sales ultimately.
I really hope that Microsoft isn't making an abrupt change to casual gaming. If they do, they will alienate the very demographic who made the 360 successful.
And that may be it more than anything. Everyone and his brother has a DS. I've not figured out a reason to upgrade. I have a Blackberry that'll do better pictures, internet, movies, and music (and phone!oneone). Why do I need a new DS?
