-This is a small sample of what I mean by 'the xbox kids'...skins having an impact on getting a console?!? What place have I stepped into?!? WHAT IS GOING ON?!? @Ding...Isn't composite where you hook two cups together with string??

-Well...if you have a good computer you do not need a crappy one as well (xbox). If you give it time xbox games end up on the PC anyways, so no gain there. The PS3 ACTUALLY has something to offer, free online (though not as polished you are not paying M$ to use it LoL), a blueray player actually makes a difference in video if you have the TV to support it (an xbox only really doubles as a space heater when you get bored with it ). -SO...long story short and with NO bias at all . I say PS3, once they start cranking out the games it will have more longevity than the xbox...besides, you can probably win a free xbox (good price if it came with games LoL!)...they have to give them away to make money off the games and Live. -As for the music while playing thing...are you kidding? Ever since my SuperNintendo (LoL clasic) I have turned the games 'music' volume to zero and cranked tunes through my CD player...I do the same thing on my computer (5.1 from the computer (game sounds) and two big endtable-looking speaker (CD player) boxes to either side {Sub/Wof/3way Mids x2}). As for the console gaming, it is almost the same...I can audio-out from two scources into my 5.1 (lower end...but I am poor) by the TV. I need a better TV, then I can just hook my comp up to it and have just ONE A/V setup. -------------------------------- -E- Friends and I: PS3-1 360s-2 (1 also has a Wii) Wii-2 (including myself) PC-everyone (6 of us that hang out regularly, only ones I counted above) (I think we all have PS2s and all but 1 have GCs...no original xboxes {there was one but he 'upgraded'}) I have one of the 'two friends' burned out 360 as a Wii stand None of us heavily play consoles anymore, when we do I am usually the one bringing the Wii to whoever's house so we can play SSB:Brawl LoL (but to be fair, we just got it and where playing the GC version until we did so that is not console bias) -side note-I am the only Nintendo fanboy of us :thumbsdown: --------------------------------

-Hey guy...good to hear from you. Happy food day!

-I love it!

-Sure he did, it was subliminal...You are all the winking smilies strewn throughout the post.

-Happy Veteran's day. -Thank you all for serving.

:thumbsup: -Apologies Boss-man, I will be running on satellite for a bit and then DSL. I will be ooc for about 6mos...Then I shall return full-swing.

:thumbsup: - AAAH HAAAA! I love the TV one...Backgrounded!

:thumbsup: - Lit one... -Chris

-Oh noes...The Armory has an impacted...wait... :peace: -Hey DOOD!

:peace: -This will likely happen more and more now (NewGameX and NewGameX 'Multiplayer online'.) -Games are getting HUGELY complicated and do not cadre well to the obsessive player that beats the campaign in one night. More content is better (and going to cost). A fixed price for one game does cap what companies are willing to devote to games. -All in all, this is not the worst idea. Games, as of late, have poor single-player in favor of the online content. If you only wish to play online, just buy one...if you want to run the campaign (once or twice), get it and you can pass it on to friends when you are done.

-I am with you mate. That 'wait and see' thought saved me from Vista and kept me from paying $500 on eBay for my gaming console (since they are still imposable to find). Impatience is too expensive and in the long run (especially with games) it does not matter if you get it a week early or 3 months after release.

Innovate: the act of introducing something new -I will agree that it is more powerful...but it is all the same jazz in a bigger warmer package. An ounce of originality cold have helped it...M$ makes money not gaming consoles...see Xbox (and Windows) Live. -It will always remain the 'pop star' Britney Spears of gaming consoles, and if it keeps the fanboys happy then it is doing its job. -You enjoy it and I get a chuckle out of it, so it is all good...no sense in fighting...though I will admit I get carried away sometimes. -All in good fun.

-My condolences... -People thought gaming systems/DVD players where innovative...but (pseudo)Gaming System/Space Heater...speechless...if only it had Vista X'D...I'll stop... -When she burns up can I get it from ya? I have one for a Wii stand (it is even plugged in...I like the red lights) and now my buddy is looking for one too...LoL

:thumbsup: -BRAVO! dude! once I get a mic I too should be officially back online. Good to see you're stopping in, and hope all is well (or getting well).

:cool: -This depends on the quality of cookies you plan to deliver on your return... :thumbsup:

:cool: -MP5! between my skills( :thumbsup: ) and that gun the game is rather difficult.

- Welcome back Mr Blank dude.

-NOOOOO! My D2 disks are 130 miles away! -Poison Dagger Necro FTW! *stab* *leave* *return for treasure later* then CORPSE EXPLODE them!

-Sooo...us vs. Shotty?

-I'll take one...rare please.

:thumbsup:-AMC Eagle as well. 4WD, rides high, has skid-plates LOL. I miss that thing.

-Able to see both at will...but EVERY time I first see the image it is Counter-Clockwise.

-Just ask if Steve the invisible leprechaun makes your vote count twice.

-Right. I DO like blizzard, and they make good games. I did not mean to imply THEY always fail to make sequels that are worth anything, but rather gaming companies in general. I understand that EA would be on StarCraft 8 and it would be set in modern day based on one squad running around killing Iraqis. I can therefore maintain some hope that a good company is actually putting time and effort into a sequel, but I have gotten used to letdowns in that area and vented a bit.
