I am having the same problem as Halo 2 were it would log into my profile but when I need to log into LIVE it will go into the "connecting" window and stay there FOREVER to the point that my only option is to click in the cancel button :/
How was Halo 2 fixed?..it randomly decided to connect one day...a month later after I first started playing it -_-
Hopefully they will "fix" GFW since I haven't been able to log on not even once with Fallout 3 :S
@Richdad: I think I and Eurogamer are talking about the constant mention of people in various gaming sites saying that the use of a HDD for mass effect will magically fix all of the problems like the already debunked elevator ride reduced times the non disc search framerate issues or brutal slowdowns (for example how the game becomes a slide show when you fight those "dogs" in that colony) or the fact that you can only do so much for the texture pop in for UE3 games (hell even the P...
@joydestroy: Read the Eurogamer test (that so far has been the best since they actually know what they are talking about) for Mass Effect that while the load times were slightly reduce NON of the technically problems were fixed or reduced (as some people magically hoped they would)
This is probably the ONLY article that seems to do a good job of explaining what the 360s "install" actually is, that the 360s "install" =/= PS3 Installs and what the real improvements and its affects on actual gameplay vs start up are
Hopefully the people that got confused with the crappy articles regarding the installs will read this to get the whole deal
I was waiting for them to fix the aparent random "windowed" mode attack that seems be plaguing some gamers including me :S
Amazon used to have there own pre order bonuses like the Shinra UMD pack for Crisis Core or the Limited Edition Cell for Lost Planet among others..but they don't seem to be doing it anymore :(
I hope they start having more bonuses in the future, one of the cool things hey implemented recently was the whole launch day delivery which was basically for a small fee they delivering the game to you the day it was launched which I thought was pretty sweet considering some games get so...
@zippo: I think you are a little confused in the last part, the PS3 as obviously stated used partial installs, the 360 uses an ISO loader which is not a real "install" but uses a virtual DVD driver to read an ISO from the 360 game, if you wanted PC game like Installs in the 360 the dev would have to develop the game with that in mind which the cant
Another thing people are generalizing is the actual improvement, one thing that is factual and somewhat universal among ...
AH! Little Alma I think anyone that played the game and remembers the final battle with her will remember just how F_CKING messed, sick and flat out disturbing was that fight :S
I also have a special place in my heart for...all the freaking heart attacks I had thanks to the never ending chance of the Nemesis in RE3
Finally the one that should have been on the list was The Many + Shodan combo...both of the "them" freaking mess up with you head thru the e...
Technically one of the major points from an ISO loader is the complete discless using of games but in the case of the 360 to prevent piracy the original disc is required only on the startup to check if its legit
How exactly is an ISO loader suppose to improved graphical quality? O.o
I will recommend anyone interest in the whole 360s ISO loader (what is been called "installs") to check out this one PLUS the GameSpot one for the WHOLE picture of what to realistically expect from the 360s ISO loader
In this MTV vid you see the joy of the driverless booting up of games which obviously with out the messy reading process of a driver is a lot faster, the GamesSpot one will show you the part from the loading from in-game (which the majority of this sites...

sigh I get disagrees for giving Raptura the link Bigrhyno is talking about -_-
PC MODs FTW! :D
I already have 3 achievements...sadly I cant seem to be able to log to my GFW LIVE account :S
Its Halo 2 all over again...well at least that one worked eventually
I actually found FEAR Extraction Point to be a LOT more scary bordering in flat out disturbing than the original FEAR
So far (Chapter 2) I found Dead Space scary but not so much (yet) as FEAR:EP
I am starting to suspect Don Reisinger doesn't like Sony -_-
Got mine :D
Anyone that wants to play feel free to add me :)

Every site i've read a preview or review has stated that if you have a PSP1000 and you have the money you should upgrade since there is a considerable improvement but if you already had a PSP2000 the "upgrade" might not be worth it as much as with the old one
So in the real world that is like a 9.5 - 10 ...ok :)
One of the best examples on how US boxarts over do it its on the FF ones cuz while the Japanese one is as simple as possible putting all the emphasis on the title+logo the US ones are a freaking colash of ALL the stuff the can be cramped into the cover -_-
