Bit the bullet and got an Elite unit over lunch, in case I get snowed in tomorrow (almost hoping for it). The HDD could come in handy, plus it's black and spiffy.

Grabbed Halo 2 and Forza 3 for now. Let the games begin!

;D

Wel-if all goes well, we won't get any reviews for like, a month.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

BioShock 1 was epic.

before Xmas I bought Left For Dead 2 and CODMW2.

Left for dead I didn't get far in cuz I havent stopped playin  MW2.
What sucks about LFD2 is the limited save spots but whatever.

haven't tried multiplayer yet, just campaign.

you're a big daddy, ten years later... and you get to use plasmids.

the little sisters are just as creepy, only now they can tag along with you.

big sisters SUCK!!!  :o

you just can't get as rambo as you can in other shooters... it pays to slow down, stay with the others, and work on surviving vs. kicking ass.

that's what makes it so much fun! well, and the endless sea of zombies  ;D

That's the point of the game. They made it so that you have to work as a group to survive. First time I played it, I died many many times.

Now CoDMW2 is another story. Play it online every day. Some days are better than others. Next one will be Battlefield.

PS3 has 2 advantages over the XBox

1) BlueRay
2) Free online*

Notice the "*" since Sony has decided to charge for a "premium" account. Slowly they are moving to the Microsoft model, mostly because they don't have enough budget to make their online better, which is by far one of the XBox's advantages. Both have games that are specific to each console, like God of War and Grand Turismo. For my taste, I prefer the XBox exclusives.

So if you want a BlueRay player that plays games, go for the PS3. If you enjoy real gaming, go with the XBox.

+1

For anyone that is on Xbox Live. every 6 months or so  Buy.com or Amazon will run a sale on the 12 month gold cards for $30-35.

I spoke with several (what I would consider) semi-hardcore gamers that had both PS3s and XBoxes, and they all basically said Xbox was the shizzle.

Only one wierdo liked the Wii the best. I think he might have been a little baked. Or didn't get the question. Or both. [laugh]

I have also decided that I am the worst multiplayer gamer on the planet  [laugh]

played team deathmatch the other day ('civil war'... atlas vs ryan)... you get to set up two plasmids and two weapons, and as you level up you get more choices.

LB quick changes your plasmids, RB quick changes your weapons. it's pretty cool.

at times, it drops a big daddy in the level that you can grab for your team.

hackable turrets, AND vendies... sucks when you walk up to grab eve/ammo/health out of a vendy and you die because someone else hacked it already lol

I got alot of assist kills, but not many of my own...  [roll]


oh, and you can research dead opponents! damage bonus next time you fight that user in the match
