POG, good choice in TV, but bad choice for gaming. I have the LN46A750, while it looks stunning, and quite possibly the best bang for the buck TV on the market. One small thing bugs me about it is the amount of input lag. Even with game mode, there's still 30ms of lag. And game mode doesn't look as good as a calibrated setting.
However, if you do get it, enjoy it cause I still enjoy mine. =)
Amen to the part about Bruce.
Seriously, every article he writes is pure crap again and again. Why in the world does he need to have a website about "games" when he clearly doesn't know jack crap about them.
Tiny install base??? There's 20 million 360s in the world right now. Even with Blue Dragon was released, there was still about a good 15 million or so.
It's pure fact that shooters is what the majority of what 360 fans want. Just look at how much Gears of War 2 will sell, gauranteed at least 3 million and more. Even with the same amount of advertisement as Lost Odyssey.

When digital downloads start offering 7.1 true HD or uncompressed audio, crystal clear 1080p resolution, "making of" documentaries (also in HD), and be smaller than 25gb's, only then will it kill off blu-ray.
Which isn't going to happen anytime soon.
If you think that video with all that clunky animations is the best graphics this gen... then i don't know what to say...
I hope MS goes this route with ALL of their "exclusive" games. No more "Oh it's also on PC which is a MS platform, so it's exclusive to the 360" NO! Cut it. It's not 100% exclusive if it's on PC too.
So if you want to play 360 exclusives, buy a 360. Simple and the way I like it.
Why not? More articles should pop up everywhere, and hopefully Nintendo takes notice.
Isn't the PS3 breaking even right now?

If you really want to consider price, look at the long run. Do you plan to play online? Well the PS3 has a built-in WiFi and Free online. Opposed to the 360 where you have to either just use the ethernet cable or buy a WiFi adapter which is $87.99. Then pay $50 for Live.
If you get a Arcade SKU, I'm pretty sure you'd want to play downloadable games like Braid, Geometry Wars, etc. and be able to download game demos. You'll end up needing to buy a HDD anyway, which right now retai...
$199 for the Arcade SKU.
$89.99 for a 20g HDD or $179.99 for a 120gb HDD
Why bother? People should just get a $299.99 60gb and call it a day. It's the best value 360.
Gears of War 2 will definitely sell more. It still has the bigger install base especially in the U.S.
But as far as gaming wise, they are two totally different games. It's pretty stupid to even compare them. I'm getting both.
In a way Disney and LBP could go hand in hand. If Sony just advertises LBP on disney channel, then expect megaton in sales. It's sort of like all those cheap Disney Nintendo DS games of Hannah Montanna or The Cheetah Girls. I'm sure the kids who watch it goes crazy and asks their parents to buy it for them.
Let's just see if it's enough for them to convince their parents to buy a $400 machine and $60 game lol.
Assuming pirates want to download 3-5 discs lol
So can we now please stop bashing Sony for releasing pre-rendered teasers?
Both companies do it. This trailer is 100% example of it.
MS really needs to get FFXIII for the 360 in japan. Cause regardless of what they "break" now. They'll lose in japan if it's still exclusive to the PS3. Then again, there's also FFXIII versus and the surplus of PSP games. MS better do every single thing they can now to convince the japanese consumers.
People have been playing FREEE online games since the PC days. (With exception of MMOs.) Microsoft is the one that is capitalizing on making it seem like it's worth it to pay to play online. Then MS has the nerves to start making all PC games with that stupid "Games for Windows" and "Live service" for the PC. Good thing they finally realized and made it free again. So +1 for MS in that area.
Thank god Sony chose to go with free though. It makes owning the PS3 ...
Alpha Males have plenty of expression...

Was it any different when the PS3 first came out? 360 Fans were gloating left and right with "we have better graphics" for about a good two years. Now the PS3 actually has games with awesome graphics, 360 fans flip the script and go with "Gameplay > Graphics"
That, and Solid Snake was ripped from Escape from New York. But Hideo admits the inspiration came from there.
