Kloogy 06-03-2008, 05:07 PM I've seen some cheap deals on 360's on quite a few forums. Looks like the economy is forcing people to dump anything non essential.

Well in this case, he dumped his for a PS3.
Silly wabbit.
Kloogy 06-03-2008, 05:43 PM Get both. Everyone wins

rofl, people have bought and sold consoles since they have existed. Blame the economy!
I'm going to buy a console, then try to sell it 6 months later.

Blue3vGT 06-04-2008, 10:22 AM I sure can.
It's called GT5: Prologue!!

FixT.
dmark101 06-04-2008, 02:48 PM I sure can.
It's called GT5: Prologue!!
that's not gran turismo 5. it's a very weaksauce demo dumbass. :rolleyes:
Yorchi 06-04-2008, 03:14 PM ha...I guess the "Prologue" in the title didn't give it away...
Gran Turismo has been one of the longest developing series' in gaming...it took so long from Gran Turismo 3 to Gran Turismo 4 that it lost a big chunk of its fanbase, the last minute delays and deletions of the very wanted online aspect made it suck even more...
Gran Turismo 5 is coming along just as slowly as ever so they forced the creator to make sure he gives them something earlier in the PS3 lifeline than later when it's sure to die out... so he gives them Prologue, which is just a fraction of what the real GT5 is supposed to have...
I'd rather play Forza 2 20 times over than wait for Gran Turismo 5 to finally show it's head
Blue3vGT 06-04-2008, 03:43 PM Oh I don't know....
6 tracks with 14 configurations and 60 cars isn't so bad for $40.
Plus online racing and other goodies as well.
Go fuck your XBox's!!

that's it...:lol:
Forza 2 has like over 30 tracks now and more cars and tracks are added every week for online...you can customize the cars with as much creative detail as using Photoshop or Illustrator...then you can sell them online in an auction house...it has real in game damage and more car licenses then Gran Turismo has ever had...
have fun believing everything it says on your PS3 box...
Kloogy 06-04-2008, 07:04 PM This really gets old.
Yorchi 06-04-2008, 07:22 PM Keep hating!!!

+1 or is that x2?
Blue3vGT 06-04-2008, 09:15 PM This really gets old.
It does....But let the stupid people have what they have for now.
Time will tell...And it will, and all these idiots will be buying PS3's.
The way it goes.
I just love these fags have to PAY to play online. HAHAHAHAHA!!!
EvilC 06-04-2008, 09:28 PM You can't compare OMG IM ONLINE for PS3 to XBL. No contest. I'm sorry you can't afford $4/mo Steve.
I play the system with the games, and thats the X360.
Blue3vGT 06-04-2008, 11:22 PM Well...I am not Mr. "I own 4000 games"
I have about 5 games on me at any given time, and right now they are GT5: Prologue, COD4, UT3 and Burnout Paradise.
You XBox owners get ONE of those games, so no, I am not losing out.
I just Drove a Nissan GTR with the actual dash as well as a BMW tii concept with the 300hp engine and tits'd out suspension.
Do you get to race those cars on Forza? Actual dashes that match the real deal?
Go suck Bill Gates cock some more! :wave:
dmark101 06-04-2008, 11:47 PM steve, have you even PLAYED forza2?
because it sounds like you're really harboring a ton of hatred for a system/game without even having tried it.
Kloogy 06-04-2008, 11:55 PM I've played it. It's pretty good. I liked it.
Yorchi 06-05-2008, 10:30 AM Steve come over to my house and play some Forza 2, Halo 3, Gears of War, Saint's Row, Deadrising, I would let you play Mass Effect as well but that game seems a little too complicated for you...
your such a faggotty fanboy at times I feel we as a society are partly to blame...lol
Blue3vGT 06-05-2008, 10:58 AM And your not a fanboi?
Hello pot, meet kettle.
EvilC 06-05-2008, 11:11 AM You're a massive fanboy, you won't even look at the pictures I linked to. You know damn well the PS3 looks like shit in comparison on all of the games they tested.

I have COD4 and Burnot Paradise on my XBOX so what r u talking about?
Yorchi 06-05-2008, 12:23 PM And your not a fanboi?
Hello pot, meet kettle.
no I'm not a fanboy, I don't think the XBox is perfect, it has it's flaws, and they're pretty big flaws...I know the PS3 has better power and better capabilities to produce more amazing games...but they haven't done it yet and I don't see any game in their future that will...
I'm more a gamer than anything else Steve, so believe me when I tell you that I'm not a fan boy, I just love my 360 but I will still be getting a PS3 later...just not now, and not until I either get (a) a 1080p tv, or (b) a must own game comes out for that system...
seriously, come over one day, you'll see some fun stuff on 360 that you can't do yet on PS3...
while you have fun looking at a dashboard (lol) I can have fun painting an entire car to look just like you...
http://www.ndrifters.net/forum/index.php?topic=64.0
take a look at that...those are all real in game cars that people have customized...some are gay, but some are downright awesome...
Blue3vGT 06-05-2008, 12:28 PM Ok, now THERE is a response I will agree with!
EvilC 06-05-2008, 01:48 PM Yorchi...
360 actually has a much more powerful GPU unit than PS3, the PS3 uses a hybrid NVIDIA 7800 class GPU.
Steve probably thinks the GPU is "TeH CELl", but that is the CPU in the PS3.
Yorchi 06-05-2008, 02:32 PM don't they have a cell something? from what I read about it way back when it's stats were better than the 360, I'm sure way better looking games will be out in the future...
unless the designers cant work with it and maximize it's power like they have with the 360...
that is one of the biggest flaws of the PS3, it's not as easy to work with as the 360, hence why GTA4 was delayed, why Madden 08 runs at 60fps on the 360 and 30fps on the PS3...also why in same game comparisons, the 360 versions run smoother than the PS3 versions of the same game...
dmark101 06-05-2008, 02:38 PM that was a cool link to look through yorchi. i'll have to show it to my girl. she's already done some custom graphics on a few of her cars in the game already. :)

They both have a CPU and a GPU, much like a computer. The Cell is the CPU.
The PS3 is also hampered by a bad RAM architecture. It's split 50/50, half for the GPU half for the CPU. The X360 can allocate its RAM wherever it is needed most. This is why you see better framerate on the X360.
Yorchi 06-05-2008, 03:49 PM that was a cool link to look through yorchi. i'll have to show it to my girl. she's already done some custom graphics on a few of her cars in the game already. :)
yeah I tinkered with it but my art skills are limited to stick figures and pictures of boobs :)
Some of the Bungie cars are amazing, and there are more forums out there dedicated to just that...the Forza 2 site has some amazing ones as well...
That was just the tip of the iceburg, enough to make Steve admire his real life dashboard more :lol:
Blue3vGT 06-05-2008, 04:31 PM To each his own, I guess.
They are both good platforms.
I've just always been a PS guy. Had a 1, 2 and now a 3. I am used to the controllers, and have no problem finding games I want to buy.
And I DID look at those graphics, and I STILL think the PS3 looks better. The XBox is too dark and pixelated.
EvilC 06-05-2008, 04:39 PM Fanboy blinders.
I think it's amusing you say you like the "superior gaming system", yet had a PS2 and not Xbox. The Xbox was leagues ahead of the PS2 in technology.
Blue3vGT 06-05-2008, 05:49 PM Who fucking cares anymore??
Drop it, fuckhead!
:wave:

Yeah. I had one and everyone laughed because they said there were no games worth a shit. Pretty much the roles have changed this time. Next platform to come out will return the edge to Microsoft. Its just a game they play with us.
BISKIT 06-07-2008, 04:09 PM Do I have a 1080p TV?
No I don't. I have a 50" 1080i plasma and to me, the games look as good as they need to. If I want eye candy, I would tell both systems to shove it and run a game on the all time best gaming platform which has and always will be the PC.
Do I give a rats ass about Blu-ray?
I have a collection of over 2500 DVD's so starting a new library ala blu-ray aint gonna happen. I saw plenty of examples of blu ray at work and honestly it looks nice, but fuck paying the premium to get a little better quality picture.
The game library for the 360 is perfectly suitable to me and especially since I got into it late, I can get cheap used games from EB/gamestop and return em for a full refund, no questions asked within 7 days.
Do I play online?
No I don't, so I couldn't give a farting monkey's hemmerhoided brown starfish that PS3 is free and 360 is for 50 a year. Even if I did care, if I wanted to get online it would cost me less than what one would pay for a game.
Sure there might be PS3 only games that I might salivate after but then again, the shoe could be on the other foot.
And Steve, for the record, you were enjoying Gears of War quite a bit when you came over the other night, so shut your piehole.
(Oh and Forza 2 is definately FTW.) At least I aint paying 40 bucks for the developers idea of a stripped down beta.
I am done.
EvilC 06-09-2008, 08:56 AM Biskit, there is no such thing as a "1080i Plasma". Plasma is a digital, fixed pixel display and cannot display an interlaced signal at all. It's probably a "768p" Plasma that accepts, deinterlaces, and scales a 1080i signal to its native resolution.

I stand humbled and corrected.
It makes a perty picture. That is all I know.
Kloogy 06-09-2008, 12:36 PM Chris knows all HD. I should carry him in my back pocket when I go shopping !
BISKIT 06-09-2008, 04:50 PM Chris knows all HD. I should carry him in my back pocket when I go shopping !
It definately seems so.
Chris, you might be able to answer me a question then.
The sexbox is currently connected via component video and composite audio to the telly. Is there any benefit to going to HDMI???
I have the DVD player hooked up via HDMI and DVD's do look better, but I was wondering if games would look any better.

Component is analog and requires the following to match HDMI:
Good DACs in the source ( Xbox ) and receiver ( TV ), and high quality cables. Your 360 should be set to 720p.
HDMI is all digital and has virtually no issues with interference and cable quality. Buy a $10 HDMI cable and replace 5 cables with one.
Blue3vGT 06-09-2008, 09:08 PM Get a better system (e.g Playstation 3).
Should solve your problems.

It would create a HUGE problem.... he'd own a console with no games to play on it.
dmark101 06-09-2008, 10:16 PM It would create a HUGE problem.... he'd own a console with no games to play on it.
and then it becomes just another piece of furniture.
ogbatman 06-11-2008, 11:19 AM Mark just buy HDMI monster cable for the 360. They work really well.
