  1. updating on xbox is actually very painless. It's much much quicker than PS3.
  2. I heard some silly explanation for it but still found it to be a moment.
  3. This, I also would not buy the same game twice just to be able to play it on my PS3.
  4. That's a fair point. The cost is even less than that too if you factor in the $100 you can usually get by selling your old card.
  5. Just got a droid x. Work phones are the way to go. What do I need to do with it now?
  6. More and more I'm seeing people who just use laptops and they only drop about $500-600 on them and the graphics in them suck. Also, converting a standard HP tower to a gaming PC sucks. Usually the motherboards suck and don't take too kindly to adding in new memory or graphics cards but on top of that the PSU is almost always under 300w. Then if you do want to upgrade your PSU it probably wont fit in those stupid towers they use. we had an IBM with a PSU hanging out of the back of it for a while because of this. That being said there are companies like iBuypower who are providing custom built systems at very good prices which people in the know are getting so that they can game at around $600. Also, $400 on a console will last you 6 or more years (RRoD's excluded) which is hard to be said for a gaming PC.
  7. So is steam the way that most people use to manage their PC friends lists? Anyone here use X-fire? I used x-fire for in-game chat mainly because it lets you set your friends mic output to a headset. Steam makes the mic output come out of your main device and you can't change it. Oh, and mine is Yantelope
  8. I used to really really not understand how people like Apple computers and other simple devices until I had to work retail and saw just how many people will never do anything more with a camera than turn it on and click the button to take a picture. I'd say at least half of all people will never use anything other than "full auto". So many people can't be bothered to read the manual or even do a google search to answer a question. All that being said I think the appeal of consoles is still guaranteed compatibility and cost.
  9. Yeah, if I had a good squad to play on and we could agree who would be doing what it would be awesome but actually getting 6 or 8 friends to be online at once is very hard for me.
  10. PC gaming is, like so many other things, not for public consumption. I mean, you have to actually understand what is in your computer, what it does, and whether that's good enough to do what you want it to do. Then you have to bother to actually adjust your graphics how you want them and on top of all that you have to choose whatever controller device you want to use. All of that is such a pain in the butt. Who has time to configure all that stuff and game how they want? Let me just pick up a controller and play.
  11. I just don't really see prone do anything other than slow down the gameplay. Also, I'd really like to see some kind of queuing system for the vehicles. I really don't like how in old battlefield games the first person to get to the jets controls them the whole game because when they finally do get shot down they run back and jump in as soon as it spawns so if you want to get a jet or helicopter you have to just sit around for 10 minutes and pray that the jet gets shot down and respawns. The problem quickly becomes that you've got 10 teammates all sitting around in your base waiting for jets or helicopters while the enemy takes over the whole map. Hopefully they've dealt with this a little better.
  12. Yeah, Sony already said they're going to do experiments to try to duplicate this sort of functionality. There's no reason why they won't be able to do a lot of it. Outside of the sensor bar functions the Vita should be able to do everything else.
  13. yep, you get 4 total games. Also, more details on the Vita from Engadget. I really hope they have SDHC support and not Memory Stick. Video out also seems like a no-brainer. http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/07/sonys-playstation-vita-a-closer-look/
  14. The first Tron is turrible to everyone who isn't nostalgically attached to it. The new one was enjoyable though aside from perhaps
  15. I understand why some people love prone but crap if it can't make some games super camp happy. Rainbow Six 3 was unbearable with people going prone. I only played on servers where we booted proners. Realistic isn't always fun. If you want super realistic go play Operation Flashpoint or Arma II. I applaud DICE for trying to find that balance between fun and real.
  16. Yeah, I foresee that this will be the case with some of the Vita games where you could run them on either system. It really needs to be the case. I also went ahead and claimed my two free PSP games in expectation of getting a Vita.
  17. I also like the possibility of the PS Vita finally giving a true mobile COD multiplayer experience. It'd be awesome to get some black ops in on my lunch break.
  18. I can't really afford more than one device. If you spend $250 on an iPod, again a PS Vita and then drop a ton of money on a smartphone with a data plan it gets very expensive. I can see why people want multiple devices but it's just too much money.
  19. Yeah, they didn't have very much to show investors. If you're putting stock in Nintendo then you're going to want to see real games. The whole "oh those games were really running on the xbox and playstation" didn't help much either I think.
  20. I'm mainly getting a Vita because I need a new MP3 player and it's just as well to get that rather than an iPod.
  21. "our newest album ever" is my favorite but enjoy the pants songs on quantity. Good stuff. Also, I picked up this a while back. It's swell.
  22. Yeah, the rumors said something to the effect of splitting the 1080p across 4 controllers to make it work. I'm not an expert on whdi but that seems like it might work. That would make it 480x270 which would still be adequate. Update: This pic seems to indicate only one controller.
  23. That would seem like bad mojo to me. they really should make it work with 4.
