I've been gaming since the very late 70's. I absolutely LOVE game music. People would look strange at me if they saw that half of my iPod is filled with music from games. That being said, I think I have a notable opinion on this matter.

It all depends on how much you listen to game music today.

Due to technical limitatiions, music from games in early generations had simple, short melodies that were looped repeatedly. Therefore your mind will remember them much more clearly and thus they seem more memorable.

Today's music can be a lot more layered and evocative of the mood of the game. We have longer music piece that are structured to be less repetive and more varied.

Since I've exposed myself to a lot of gaming music the last two gens (most of what fills my iPod), I find that it's just as memorable if not more so. It's definitely a lot more entertaining to listen to outside of the games for extended periods of time. In fact, after leaving my player on shuffle mode pretty much all of the time, jumping from the likes of Lair, Bust-a-Groove and NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams to Mega Man 2 and Super C was more jarring than I thought it would be.

So is this a precursor to RRoD?

Thanks.

I had a launch system and the exact same thing happened to me. Did the colors ever get messed up like everything in the game having a wierd shade of green? I know this isn't what you want to hear but you'll probably have to send it back. I think it was $100. I tried a different video cable too so I know it wasn't that. If you search you'll see this seems to be a fairly common problem.matt3456

Yep. That's EXACTLY what was happening. Hmmm...

So I take it this isn't covered by the 3 year warranty? Thus it would be better if I had the full RRoD?

Ok, I have a launch window console. Its worked great. I know I'm the exception. But I'm now having a problem with both the component and composite video outputs not working. I get sound with no picture and I have hooked it up to multiple TV's. I also went and bought the Madcatz component cable and it still isn't working.

Anyone else experience this that can give me some tips or possible problems (besides calling the 1-800 number)? I thank you in advance.

What doesn't make sense to me is how so-called JOURNALIST won't simply ask the question! Is it so hard?

"With the 360 sales picking up in Japan, particularly with JRPG releases, why won't Square-Enix release FFXIII in Japan?"

This bugs me to no end. Just ask it! That's what JOURNALIST do! Even the president of the United States doesn't get off easy, so why should a S-E rep?

The IGN.PS3 crew has forever tainted their stories with their complete lack of journalistic integrity and continual biased comments. I cannot trust these comments about Bioshock PS3, as they are the biased opinion of the enthusiast writer, not factual comments from the developer.

These comments MAY BE TRUE, but I'll need to hear them from a source other than IGN.PS3 (or Shane Bettenhausen, but I digress ...).
