Depending on the course, I almost always buy old editions for like 2 bucks on ebay. I've never heard of rental sites.

I know everyone says this, but get the body and an IS lens. I got the kit, and it's great, but I really wish I would have dished out the extra 50 bucks for a better all around lens instead of the kit one. Personally I'd check ebay for factory refurbished versions. That's how I got mine and...

Agreed, though I do feel that the final act had some of the funniest writing in it. Super predictable though.

Well square enix certainly doesn't need the cash, but frankly any third party publisher would be foolish to not go multiplatform. Development costs are just too high now to limit sales, even with big bonuses from the hardware manufacturers. That out of the way, I think the PS3 is the most...

Once I got a hang of the controls it was actually pretty cool. Definitely a learning curve involved though. I don't understand one thing though. The art direction on the armor is great, but the character models(faces and such) are terrible. You can definitely tell they had to build a new engine...

The only difference between the main brands at this point is pretty minimal. Personally I went to a store and held each of them. The XTi fit my hands better, and I recommend choosing based on how you feel with each one. You will have more choices for lens purchases if you get a nikon or canon...

I'll second Digsby, and add a few other key ones. RKLauncher - like rocketdock but a little slimmer. Supports most of the same stuff, and for me it seems more fluid. Enso - http://humanized.org - Great launcher program. Hold down capslock and type commands to open programs and search. You can...

22 Inch Acer @ Newegg 219 and free shipping.

I'm actually in the process of putting together a similar setup. I'm not sure you'll need the cpu cooler, but thats up to you. I'd put the cash toward 4GB(2x2) ram instead of 2x1. There's also an Acer 22 inch for about 50 bucks more that has really good reviews on most sites. Don't forget your...

I've love a headset designed for the PS3. All the normal BT headsets just don't work properly for a console/pc. Sidebar, the alpha vids on gametrailers look terrible. I'm surprised they showed them in the state they are in.

Aside from all the technical challenges facing a port, they would either have to cut out a few scenes or have the actors do new voicework for certain sections of the game. Without spoiling much the game is very aware that it is a ps3 game.

I voted for 5. I hated a good portion of it, but I did a whole lot of oldschool sneaking in it and I nearly blinded myself with stun-grenade-launcher havoc.

Good game, enjoyable, but pretty short. I suppose when compared to the length of many 60 dollar games though it's on par value wise. Extremely linear though. You get dialogue options but they don't take you anywhere. I almost wish there was a way to make it more turn-based, as the more...

Weren't tickets for The Police comeback concert some ridiculous price? I wanna think mid-range was 500 or something like that.

Anyone have issues with the sound levels? Particularly dialogue being too low at times then going back to normal? In general I have to turn my TV up almost double what other games play at. I've got SFX and Music down half way, but every once in a while the voices get quiet for no apparent...
