Just so you'll know, GTA IV will be a better game on the 360. Why? Well, Rockstar Games themselves have said so because the 360 is getting all of the exclusive online content, including new missions, while the PS3 gets...NONE.

Plus, you can get a 360 Elite (that actually comes with an HDMI cable and a 120 gig HDD) for $479 versus $499 for a PS3 (without HDMI and 100 gig HDD).

I mean, get a PS3 if you want to get a PS3, but if you're doing it for GTA IV, then I'd tell you to get the 360 because you get the extra content.

If you do get a 360, I recommend the following games:
BioShock (duh!)
Gears of War
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition
Dead Rising
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Gold Edition, because it comes with the new characters)
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (again, online content only on 360 - not PS3)
All-Pro Football 2K8
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 1 & 2
Rainbow Six: Vegas
Shadowrun
Virtual Tennis 3 (online play - not found on PS3)

And for XBox Live Arcade:
Marathon: Durendal
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade
Doom
Uno
Golden Axe
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

And by year's end, I'm sure I'll be recommending Halo 3 and, the game I'm most anticipating on ANY console, MASS EFFECT!

I'm not trying to start some PS3/360/PC war, just offering some advice from someone who owns a 360! That's all!

Play what you like how you like!

Well, my post was more for Boingo since he's on the fence about a PS3 and was saying GTA IV would be the dealmaker for him.

But, okay, Trahhn. I'll play a little!

The 360 does run in 1080p, Trahhn! HDMI, anyone?!

And all I'm saying is this - if you are buying a video game system because of its ability to play movies...ummmm....maybe that system isn't worth getting?

Because as of right now, there is not one single game I'd buy for the PS3 that is (a.) not already on the 360, running at higher frame rates (see Madden 08 and All-Pro Football 2K8), or (b.) exclusive (see "Lair" and the terrible reviews its been getting as the PS3's "killer app" this holiday season).

And, sorry, but BioShock was developed for the 360 and PC. I don't see it going to the PS3...well...ever. If so, you'll be waiting a good long time for it to do so!

I'm gonna save up for Samsung's dual format player (although I do have the 360's HD-DVD player and it is most pimp - 300 and Batman Begins in HD own your face!) so I can enjoy both, although after this week's annoucement of Paramount and Dreamworks going HD-DVD exclusive, well, to paraphrase Yoda, "Begun this format war has."

GTA IV's creators will tell you that the 360 version is the one to get. You said you were wanting GTA IV, I am just offering some friendly advice by way of the developers, bro!

Oh, and if online stuff is your schtick, the 360's marketplace is pretty NOICE. HD movies for download, tons of TV shows (including every season of South Park and all the Star Trek: Remastered episodes), free demos, game videos, tons of themes, gamer pics, online connectivity to your PC, plus the X-Box Live Arcade (featuring tons of cool old-school/original games formated for HDTVs and featuring online support (Nothing like playing Joust and talking smack)!

It's not perfect, as they do nickel and dime you on stuff, but overall I'm very happy with it as online play has never been a problem! Plus, with the new Windows Vista hookup, you can play games like Shadowrun and, soon, Halo 3 with friends via the 360 and PC!

Oh, and Halo 3 will support, of course, online deathmatches and stuff, but will also support 4-player co-op campaign play! That's AWESOMECROSS, folks!

Wow, that's extreme form of copy protection I've ever heard of.

So not impressed with Bioshock right now. o_o Silver was recommending the game to me, but I'm afraid that I'll have to pass as I do not want any form of DRM/Copy Protection limitations on my machine.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

Probably. The game really sounded interesting from what Silver was rambling about it.

I'm just really worried about my machine because I've had two rounds of three hardware failures at once. (My house has messed up electricity so it's probably frying some of my parts :| ) I need to pick up a UPS because I'm sure the surge protector is probably not doing very much.

The last thing I need my computer is to be compromised by a rootkit. I know they have good intentions but sometimes, good intentions can be wrecked by the likes of virus/trojan writers. :/


ETA: Talked it over with Silver, I'm probably just going to try out the game on his machine. I'm pretty sure mine can't handle the game anyway. (Not at the right requirements because I haven't really updated my hardware for a while due to not seeing any PC games I want. :X)abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

Anyone who read TronFAQ's post where he mentions 'Process Explorer', get that program. It is very very helpful in finding background programs that shouldn't be there or you just don't want running. If you can not identify the background programs, it has a feature that will instantly google the file/app. Excellent program and it's free. I've been using it for a few years.

Ok... If 2K does remove the copy protection completely after sells hit it's peek, then I sure hope others follow suit. I own Half Life2 and can't play it since my hard drive crashed and had to reformat everything. It thinks I'm using a different computer. It's a good example where extreme copy protection hurts the legal end user. abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

Just so everyone understands, I'm not advocating piracy here. It's not the answer to this situation. Pirating the game hurts Irrational, they lose sales, and then because of that they might not make another game for the PC again.

But this was too damned funny, not to post. It highlights the hypocrisy of 2K. They're selling a game that encourages the player to think, a game where its main antagonist character fights for what he believes are his rights. That his destiny and his city belong to him, and no one else. Yet entertainment companies and game publishers, are trying to tell us that they still own the CDs, DVDs, and games we buy. We're merely purchasing a license to use it. We still don't actually own the product, you see. And this needs to stop.

That piracy statement is HYSTERICAL, TronFAQ! Having played BioShock, that made me laugh pretty f'n hard!on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online

If you don't mind, what motherboards might those be? I've been toying with the idea of upgrading my PC to a new MB & Intel Core Duo or Quad Core CPU, but I want a motherboard with more than one usable PCI slot; two slots would be ideal.where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

Damn it, I spent all day yesterday at the stores staring at the Bioshock case, but I don't go no money!

Having worked on the front lines of copy supression at Activision and Disney gigs, I can say this.

I watched a great game, TRON 2.0, DIE on the shelf because of piracy. 24 hours after I said GO to the Gold Master it was on the streets illegally.

There were more people playing the multiplayer game than had actually bought copies at one point early on. As I recall we figured 1 in 4 was a legit copy.

People can complain about Copy Supression software all they want, but the simple fact is that because of theft by players, copy supression became a requirement.

People have found a way to rationalize stealing, and companies have to fight back. The choice was not the best thing for the industry, but it was probably the only real option.

Stealing creates Copy Supression. Simple as that. There is no going back now. Gamers brought it on themselves.abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion
