i picked up DS3,dantes inferno & crysis 2. dantes is a button masher,DS II is so-so but havent' touched crysis yet. also got a points card and some books. if you decide to get DS 3 i wouldn't pay more tha 30 for it.
 
That's a major problem I have with online games. I don't really play online, and it's because of a few reasons, but mainly lack of community on a lot of titles (especially those from a few years ago). Companies can't even guarantee you can find someone to play against, yet they want to charge $10 for an online pass and limit even fewer people from getting a chance to play online against.

$5 per character is too much. I didn't even download the Noire' stuff, because I feel that these companies are trying to nickel and dime us. It's only going to get worse. I don't want to pay $20 for level 1 and $5 for each level after. Give me the whole game!!! If you want to add stuff 6 months to a year down the road to keep it fresh, so be it!
 
Thanks for reminding me I had already forgotten that it was Amazon $#-oI just happened to be on the Walmart site when I saw that price, it was around the same price as Newegg since I can pick it up from the store:D
 
Am I the only one who prefers the PS3 controller? To me, it's almost the perfect controller. As for 360 upscaling everything, a lot of it still looks bad. It's not true 1080p. I'm getting to the point where I can't even watch DVD's anymore (on any system).

I much prefer the PS3 controller.

There are some DVDs that look awesome on my PS3, others that really show badly.
 
Friendly bump!

I've been pleased with the dualshock's design. I haven't ever used an xbox/360 controller. =/ But, I hear the L2 and R2 triggers on the PS3's sixaxis aren't as prominent as on the dualshock 2?
 
I loved the Dreamcast controller...

But, as for better graphics, MOST recent games look better on the PS3...
LA Noire comes to mind...

lol @ Wii 480p. But, then again, graphics aren't everything.
 
Fixed the PM problem, didn't realize it was full already :lol: I had a lot of PM's due to that Steam summer sale and a few game trades with verbose people ;)
 
Hopefully Amazon matches that deal for Blood Stone, I would rather have the PS3 version though since I have the PS3 version of Quantum of Solace already ;)
 
[quote name='5of9']BTW as far as RPG's go i'd rank them thisa way.
Fable1&2
Dragon age
Dungeon siege 3[/QUOTE]

those are the only RPG's ive played in ages. might list oblivion and DS3 as a tie.

BTW not sure how old u guys are (i'm 46) but i rmember the best RPG's to be the old pencil and paper D&D games my buds and i would play. We couldn't wait for the computer games to come out but i still look back at the fun we had spendding all day saturday with the dice.
 
about the upscaling of games, the first Uncharted is 720P but Uncharted 2 is 1080P and so is Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time according to the boxes. I didn't know that the 20GB PS3 didn't have WiFi those buyers were ripped off since my launch 60GB had WiFi, HDMI, 4 USB ports, and all the media slots and it was about $600 as well :lol: I remembered that there is a way to force the PS3 to upscale the games to 1080P but they didn't really look any better.

I did a little research into it and if the TV has a native resolution of 1080P then 720P signals fed to it are automatically scaled to 1080P using the TV's hardware. I guess the image quality just depends on the TV used since the people on the forums I was reading couldn't agree on whether to force 1080P or not. For the component cables it depend on the TV, some don't accept 1080P signals through it. I know the current and future TVs won't accept 1080P signals over component including those from a PS3 due to Digital Copyright protection:bomb:

Ugh, what a bs headache that is! So, the question is:

does the game look better in 720p with component cable OR in up-scaled 1080p with composite cable?

I don't have a PS3, I wasn't even aware that not all games for it weren't released in 1080, let alone that the component cable had some potential drawbacks; using component for my PS2 dramatically enhanced the visuals.

Stupid Sony, stupid Big Media, stupid greedy *mumble grumble* as if it does anything to prevent piracy *grumble* all it does it punish legitimate users *mumble*

we live in 2 different world's man. uncharted 2 on my ps3 from the day it released til the day i traded it (it's in my trade feedback) was in 720p. my tv is native 1080p. i tried the upscaling force on that game, and it looked hoorible. you are right about the box, though, as that's why i was major pissed. i got mine on release day so figured it was a misprint. put it in & go to any multiplayer or single player level, tap the 'guide' button on your native 1080p tv, and tell me what it says. i did this with 3 different tv's, all the same result.

also, i just tried my component cables for ps3 the other day when it was in the news that sony was doing away with component & HAD to use HDMI (which Sony clarified was only for BR). the only thing that won't work is blu ray on component cables (but my tv is 2 years old). i played the pixeljunk shooter 2 mp demo just fine in 1080p. i have the 80gb that was released at the same time as the mgs4 120gb bundle (i think that's the memory amount). it has 2 usb & no media slots.

the native 1080p tv that i have does not automatically upscale the 720p signals from the ps3. the 1080p games show up in 180p, and the 720p games show up in 720p. you can change settings on the ps3 that will force it to 1080p, but it looks way worse than the 720p did. on the other hand, EVERY signal that i get from my 360 is in 1080p and looks better than the same game on ps3 in every case i've tried it, and through every demo i've checked on both systems. none of them are actual from either system EXCEPT the god of war collection. it is native 1080p. the ps3 games have to upscale through software, that's why every game is different. gt5 is upscaled 1080p (i play forza so no need to try and race on a crappy controller), that's about it (never been interested in the R&C games, so count that one, even thought he back of the box is wrong for uncharted 2, lol). the 360 upscale is not crappy looking upscaling. it looks amazing. i was so disappointed seeing GTAIV on ps3 after playing it to 98.5% completion on 360 (over 100 hours, but a freakin' pigeon glitched on me so i couldn't get them all. that was the day my 360 almost learned how to fly).

you can see the difference with your eyes, bro. i don't have to rely on the 'info' or 'guide' button (but i do ALWAYS check to make sure i am right). i used to know everything about tv's until august '09 when i lost my job & wasn't around them 24/7. you might be right about the different tv's, but i know consoles just about as well as you know pc's & i'd be willing to bet anything that i'm right about the stuff in this statement (especially uncharted2, and it's by experience, not from some wiki that anyone can change, lol. i don't use those), BECAUSE if there's a patch that can make uncharted 2 1080p, and sony hasn't used that patch on every f'ing sony game. screw them. just screw them.

Yeah, I have to miss this year ninja, my cashflow is WAY off. The fackin truck just kept running into problems this summer. Had to put all new brakelines, brake pads, calipers and rotors and other misc. stuff have to be replaced which ruined those chances. It sucks too because I have been dying to go the last couple of years, maybe next year homie, maybe next year.(I hope) Btw, check out this fresh ass hat they have for sale on ebay, I might scoop it up one of these days they have a few of them. http://cgi.ebay.com/ICP-Joker-Cards-L-XL-Fitted-Baseball-Cap-Hat-NEW-/200611135885
 
I'm wondering how your GOW Collection is in 1080p, when I see the borders around the top, bottom and sides.

Yes, I got Oldschool and you confused. Old age. Getting senile.
 
No problemo. You're fine to post/rant/say what you want, however you want, whenever you want on my page/list.

As for Parasite Eve 1 & 2 - not sure who it is that has it, but they probably want an arm and a leg for it. I'd be willing to trade maybe, but I'm only spending up to a certain amount on PS1 games (unless maybe they are new/sealed). I am still without FF7 (yes, I know it's only $10 on PSN, but I prefer the actual discs), but that is because I don't want to spend more than the $30 it cost me back in 99'. I was stupid to trade/sell some of the stuff I did. Oh well, live and learn. My stuff was MINT too...
 
Who is it that has PE 1 & 2?

I had a HUGE Care Bears collection (that was given away). Probably worth a ton of $ today. I'm not sure if a market exists for Care Bears collectibles.

You're too young to be going that senile sdragon :lol: I don't see any borders on the GOW collection so I don't know why you are, maybe twztid can help?

I couldn't find the original but I put a link to another article about that DRM limitation on HD content in my list ;)
 
the deathly hallows was definatley good, but like most books/movies, the book was better. other than a few minor changes it followed the book to a tee.
 
Wanna talk about greedy? That $10 pass stuff is greedy. I don't even play online really, and I still despise it. They are trying to nickle and dime us with DLC, Online passes and god only knows what is next.
 
Latest movie I like: "Going Postal." I love discworld. I liked the movie better than the book, because Pratchett let the characters for the movie be a bit more likable than they were in the book.
