this is taken from the site who reviewed ME already. this should help owners like my self who have a HDTVhttp://www.videogametalk.com/review.php?ID=778&PHPSESSID=6321b2f1d84330526057636933a4ec46'There is a downside to pushing the 360 to these limits though. The frame rate can slow to a chug during the large scale battles, especially with lots of talent powers flying around. It's enough to affect the gameplay and become annoying during a fight. It also can happen when you turn your character around too fast. The game pauses for a few seconds to load before you can continue. When you move too fast though an area or conversation, textures won't load quickly enough and you may be staring at a blur until it finishes. I also had problems with the rover land vehicle on planets and the last few levels. Specifically when taken off a steep jump, the front hull of the rover would become embedded in the ground and I couldn't move or exit the vehicle. I can't imagine it's designed to force reloading an old save, so it must be a problem with the hit detection system. Interestingly, Bioware gives you the option to turn off the film grain and the motion blur effect. On a high definition display, the film grain really makes the image pop with realism. I found turning off the film grain brings out the flaws in the facial visuals, namely sections around the mouth and eyes that become spotty. Turning off the motion blur wasn't as big of a difference, but it will make the visuals appear more like a video game rather than a 23-hour science fiction movie. It does help the troubled framerate though. '

Now that's hilarious. You took getting owned by me so badly that you're linking a deluded fanboy spouting fanboyism at me and calling it "ownage"? :lol:

Oh man that's rich. I took my ownage of you out of my sig, but I think I'm bringing it back.

I tried to explain the circumstances of "teh ownage" but his precious PS3 and Lair were at stake.... :shock:
