Well I love my PS3 but don't hate the 360. I don'thave a360 and I won't bash the other just becuase I have a PS3. I will eventually get a 360 just becuase of having a choice of games.

The LIVE is cool, but I won't give MS any more of my money for Silver or Gold accounts. I just want to play and hook up with players. I don't give a rat's azz about all the other stuff. MS charges for stuff we can get for free.I have 10 friends on my PS3 and not too often are we engaged in online discussions and such. Who actually answers a message while playing COD4 for example. I'd never go back to the menu and answer it.

The ps3 though ishard to design for. MS made it simple for developers and the DEV kits were easier to understand and useand don't we all look for the easy way to make money if we could?

My friend has aPS2, gamecube, xbox, 360 and ps3 and he never uses his PS3. He says there are no games. However even if a good title came out for the ps3 and 360he would go 360 just because. He plays FIFA a lot online, but if I said get COD4 for PS3, he wouldn't even consider it, but he loved Crackdown. He bought Battlefield Modern Combat for the 360 when I told him it's hella fun online and never plays it. Another friendhas all 3 consoles but is playingMetroid.

It's aa matter of taste.

As a WWII buff I like the older weapons, they are the basis of what we have today,however MOH is getting "yawn"

COD4 takes some mad skills to play, especially online. The recoil and learning of every weopons advantages and disadvantages is key to getting kills.

As a noob online you get iron sights and on someweapons it takes away from your view, the M60 sight is like a 2x4 sticking straight up.When you gain your XP, you can earn red dot sights etc. It actually makes you use the weapons and become more skilled at the startto earn upgrades. Your forced to pick your shots and play better.

It's not rare at all. Go to the PS site forums and read there.

What I found is that if you set the display on the PS3 to max 720p, not 1080, the audio and stuttering will go away.

Now as I posted there, Colony Wars and Tecmo's Deception 3, as only 2 examples, have slight frame skipping in the movies, like a frame here and there even when set to 720p, but the audio stops skipping.

 Turning it off completely eliminates all of this.

 Some posted Res.4 for PS2 is giving them trouble as well, however I didn't have it happen.

The system is not processing the render of the movies and audio on PS games when it is upscaling further past 480p. Alot of processing here is messing up the upscale rendering and sync. 

The post was not a complaint, but a concern.

 How do we know that it's not a problem with the drive trying to read the FMV's on these PS1 games or the flashing was corrupted?

I just tried Colony Wars and the sound skips as well as the cinematic itself. Other games it's just the sound that stutters. The optical and analog audio has the same result. Sony cust. service asked me to reset system settings and it didn't work.

I have 30 day return at Best Buy, not sure if exchanging it will help.
