If you LIKE Halo 3, that's fine. It's your money, your choice but don't please try and pretend that it's anything new or even the best at what it does. (Not saying that anyone is, just making the point). There is very very little in Halo 3 that frankly I wasn't already playing 6 years ago. In fact there is nothing much in Halo that I wasn't already playing on the PC at the time, Halo was just the first good console FPS.
He's right. All most all MMORPGS now try to copy WoW, all most all FPSs now seem to try and copy Halo. Computer games are not nothing more than big business and the same people that got their claws into Hollywood are doing the same thing to our games. And that's the problem with fanboys, you sit back and let it happen, pumping more and more money at them.
No one learnt anything from that movie
Mikee before you start making comments about people using their brains, catch up on your out of date info. It's been posted more than once why these claims about the PS3 having a slow drive next to the 360 don't stand up. I can't even be bothered to repeat it.
He's right, you can mark him down all you like but Uncharted's water is just plan incredible. Besides, this isn't GOW water it's Unreal3 water and all systems can run Unreal.
I doubt MS can afford it right now, given that they have had to ask for a loan so they can force buy Yahoo.
Liam if you're going to call someone on something then at least call him on what he said and post something relevant. He SAID that the ports didn't load as fast, so what do you do? Post videos of ports.

If the PS3 runs a badly ported game then the loading will be there because it's a port and the devs have had to take into account the lack of HDD on some 360 and the BD slows up the loading. When the game is native and written for the PS3 properly like R&C or Unchartered there is next to no loading at all. Hell the 360 can't even get its native titles down to decent loading times, I was watching most of the ending of Mass Effect with no textures because they wouldn't load fast enough.

Anyone that runs Uncharted next to Mass Effect can clearly see the 360 is starting to slip in terms of hardware, the PS3 is only going to get better right now.

Your videos are of old ports, and are nothing to do with the situation on the PS3 right now.
Could it be... And this is just a guess here... That not everyone wants or needs what you want?

The MBA loses nothing that I need and comes in slimmer and cheaper. Perfect for my current laptop needs.

We nerds seem incapable of accepting that not everyone needs the extra stuff we claim is a must have.
Same here, I really would like MSN with iChat. I don't really l like MSN but when you have friends that use it...
If you're all so sure that running Windows with a software firewall is safe, post your IP addresses.

I'm not aiming this at anyone here personally but I get tired of "IT people" and "security people" telling me almost monthly that Windows is fine with a firewall and yet none of them couldn't actually write a "hello world" program let alone a piece of Malware.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
