Instead of starting a new thread I will just bump this up in case anyone is interested.

Unreal Tournament 3 demo is out today. Plays good on my laptop but my home system choked (old work pc). I am building a system next week when the parts all arrive with q6600 and 8800gtx that will definitely play it.

What? I was a HUGE GT3/GT4 whore, and I said nothing would ever knock those games off their pedestals. I tried Forza2 and I'm in love. Laguna Seca, Nurburgring, Road Atlanta, and Sebring, and that's just the tracks my friend has unlocked. Drifting is a lot more realistic, and I love the motor swap options. CRX SI with a built F20C and RWD, bitches :bigtu:

xbox 360 all the way halo3 is beast

Savington 10-12-2007 11:08 PM

Halo 3 sucks my left nut. Whoever decided that moving the reload button was an acceptable idea should be hanged.

What's wrong with the bumpers? I have a ton of complaints about Halo 3, the reload button placement is not one of them.

Still a good game.

I got the orange box the other day, portals is awesome (for a crazy weird puzzle type game) and TF is awesome on live.

360 has more good games out right now than the PS3.

Down the road, PS3's got GT5 coming, but 360's got Forza 2 already (not to mention Halo 3 and others)...plus Mass Effect is coming to 360.

PS3 can run a separation bootable partition with Linux, though, which means it'll be able to run the new Linux builds of Xbox Media Center (I know, they need to come up with a new name for it if it's going to be cross-platform).

but can you run xbox games? cuz then why would anyone buy an xbox :)

Sold my 4 Xbox 1's a few days ago for $1100. Bought XBox 360 #3 yesterday for $255 and XBox 360 #4 yesterday (a few hours later) for $80. It has something wrong with the DVD player. Since a new one is only $50 at most I'll have $130 in it. Not too shabby. I should be up and running for 4-way Halo 3 (system link with each person having their own monitor) or GRAW2 in a few days.

Loki047 10-13-2007 10:41 PM

Sweet.
Have you tried a BluRay yet?

No not yet. Is it that much better then HD TV?

Ben 10-14-2007 11:48 AM

It will look at least as good as HDTV, if not better, dending on stuff. It'll make a standard DVD look like shit.

y8s 10-14-2007 11:51 AM

it really depends on the disc and the mastering. people bitched like nuts when fifth element came out on bluray because it was worse than the original dvd.
