Playstation 3 = Win

In most of the cutscenes, the bump maps would load after the scene started playing, but that's just my experience.

Online its overrated, but I like the story.

I just read the other day that if you took everyone's combined Halo 2 playtime, it equals over 75 man years

Yeah, it's sooooo over rated

All I meant to say, is that if it took them 3 years to make the god damn Halo 2... and now they're making Halo 3 in less then what? 2 years? It's bound to be rushed. Especially with all the new textures, models etc. for the 360.

You may like Halo... but I don't and that's that.

Then lets drop it and get back to topic...

[Kikinchikin]

that is painfully cute.

I don't understand the logic behind paying $600 for a machine that in the end, has relatively limited use, and as a soon-to-be college student with a vastly limited income... that makes it look even worse to me.

I can pay $600 dollars into upgrading my computer - which is relatively open ended, allows me to play game, chat with friends, download/listen to music, do school work, surf the web, etc.

or I can pay $600 for a system that allows me to play games, listen to music, take up a lot of space, and look pretty.

Hm?

Are Armored Core and Metal Gear Solid good series? yes, they are. Are they worth $600? not quite.

And in the end, thats all I'd really be paying for.

You're not in College yet. Scam some family, parent, aunts, uncles, ect, to buy you one for a grat gift or something.

Also, you must remember that this is a BLu-Ray machine also. Standalone BD Players are in the $1200 range.

Awhaaa?

Good point, but like Gryphon has pointed out before, will Blu-Ray take hold in the market place? With HD-DVD already out, everyone and their grandmother will be buying HD-DVD products.

Yea, but then again, an HD-dvd player is the price of a PS3. So, you could buy a HD-DVD player, and only use movies for $500-1000, or you could buy a BD Player, and a state of the art game system for $600

or be like me and buy neither because you dont have an uber tv to show off HD or Blu ray movies anyways.

Common misunderstanding of Next gen media. Example: You can buy a movie in HD Right now, but it would take up several disks. The thing is HD and BD arent going to enhance your movie, the content is. Video quality relys on the format of the video, not the disc. HD and BD have larger space, allowing for more upscalled and enhanced movies. atleast that is my understanding.

Meaning more content can be put on a DVD at higher quality. So while it is a thing of better quality and higher resolution, it also holds more content.
