Welcome to our world...and as was previously stated...welcome to sleep deprivation. You will exercise some neglect of playing other games that you like for awhile as well.

Quite frankly, I thought that Alfonse and I were very civil in our posts to each other. I didn't feel that he was insulting to me and hope that I wasn't insulting to him. We were simply debating and speaking our opinions. And a "true gamer" or even a "regular old gamer" should be able to spend what they want and get what they want, as long as they are happy gaming, which is the point I think you were trying to get across. Doesn't matter to me about how much somethi

yes those remarks were copied verbatum, that is why I put that they were a direct quote. [quote]The reason PS3 is such a pain to develop for is because programmers have to divide up their code into pieces that the SPUs can work on.[/quote] This is very true and developers have stated this many times. And i've never tried to sell anyone on the point of more gamers playing on a PS3. There's no doubt that there are more players on xbox than the PS3.

[quote who="Alfonse" reply="9" id="2064989"] The PS3 and the 360 are game consoles. This is a gaming forum. If you didn't want to talk about gaming in relation to the capabilities of these game consoles, then you should have made that clear. Yes, the PS3 has more and better non-gaming functions than the 360. But unless you actually care about those non-gaming functions, the PS3's added cost is just that: added cost.

[quote]Maybe you don't understand the difference between movies and videogames. So let me explain. Movies are information. Data. They are read and interpreted by a program to display an image of a certain size and a certain framerate with certain audio samples. Videogames are programs . The game itself decides what resolution to display at. Just as it decides what images to display, what textures and shaders to use with which polygons, what information to send

Yes, I do understand the differences and probably better than you seem to believe of me. Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough earlier. The point I was trying to make earlier was that the blu-ray format is by and large a better disk format than what the 360 is using for many reasons, one of which is the capability of outputting full 1080p. [quote] You put the blu-ray (PS3) on a tv that can handle it (60" full 1080p) and the differences are amazing.

[quote who="Alfonse" reply="1" id="2064834"] You put the blu-ray (PS3) on a tv that can handle it (60" full 1080p) and the differences are amazing. Shocking though it may be, but BluRays have nothing to do with 1080p gaming. That is dominated solely by fillrate (and shader throughput). There are quite a few 360 games that can run in 1080p as well as PS3 games. [/quote] As shockingly un-informed as your statement is..

this is a good point anny and that is why some of the exclusives are now becoming portable to the 360 as well...it's a fact of life. And mbaron, I wasn't giving that argument for Sony's sake...God knows Sony has screwed the pooch too many times to count. However, I have seen comments and remarks from some of the big developers that they still haven't been able to fully harness the power of all of the cells inside the PS3. Each set of games that is developed for the PS3 har

[quote who="Xehr" reply="15" id="2064325"] A: Doesn't matter in my opinion, even if the game is too large there's always multidisc which has worked well enough for Square before. B: Downloadable content on PS3? ROFLMAO, go look at what's happening out there atm, right now PS3 isn't getting downloadble content due to the crappy network they use for it, if it's for additional content xbox live is totally outowning it.

[quote who="Kitkun" reply="17" id="2064397"] - first one turned off on its own .. having to wait a while to be able to turn it bak onThat's overheating. The 360 can get pretty hot, so it needs to be in a well ventilated area. Though the only time I encountered overheating was when the cat decided the warmth made a good place to sleep...

[quote who="CenturionJixra" reply="22" id="2060279"] In thinking about what games would be in my top five, I notice that I am rather biased toward more recent games and wonder whether I should include an older game from the floppy disk era (and even the 5 1/4 inch era for those of you who are old enough to remember it). [/quote] Yes, some of us are old enough to remember the 5 1/4. I even remember some of the games back then as well.
