Shovelware isn't new but there's never been a console based completely around it. Lazy_Boy88

True, and to add to the above / earlier statement about pre NES Shovelware with Atari, if you remember the old NES, when it came out it promised to never do to the gamer what the Atari did which was let just about anyone that could program make games. No, instead they had thier seal... The seal was a make of quality and I think Nintendo needs to bring that attitude back. I remember the way that seal made me feel, I almost knew that buying this game wouldn't haunt my wallet later cause it typically meant GOOD GAME!

edit to spelling error

[QUOTE="Couth_"]Sho_One why did you quote me? I don't know what your playing but the mic in Warhawk is L3, you press it on accident more often than not. And it doesn't matter no one really talks on Warhawk. No one really talks on XBL either, except for trash talk in the lobby, but once games start it's usually quiet. I only even have my headset hoked up when I play with friends, and that's on both systems.carljohnson3456

lol I agree, I kinda like the quiet games. On Xbox Live seems like there is always 2 guys that know eachother who talk about nonsense forever... or a 12 year old talking trash. I've actually heard a kid call this guy's son (a 3 year old who was talking in the background) a pretty nasty insult, and I'm just really sick of hearing that. It's so stupid.

Dont get me wrong, there are plenty of those immature people on the PSN, but nowhere near LIVE. I only use the mics if I'm playing with my buddies too. I use to use it all the time, but not much anymore.

Whether or not you talk in game or not is up to you and for the most part two people giving me there opinion doesn't change the fact that the function is there to utilize and no extra buttons are needed to be pressed. The button to press in War Hawk is L3..... fine, I haven't touched the game in so long I wouldn't care. All I'm saying is I like the fact I can talk to my guys when I play my games if you don't.... don't, but if you want to you can.

I love the FanBoy Chart

If you want backwards compatibility you want to get an 80 gig model. The 40 gig model only playes PS1 games, not PS2 games. Free online, it's quiter than the 360, plays Blu Ray movies, has a web browser, has a PSN store. You can store movies, music, all that good stuff. Those are some basics..Couth_

360 - STRENGHT - Games now, online now, achievements, etc / WEAKNESS- XBL 50 buck

PS3 -STRENGTH - Excellent Blu-Ray player and fun games / WEAKNESS - ON-Line is very weak and feels tacked on

Wii - STRENGTH - Cheaper, Addictive, Fun for the Whole Family / WEAKNESS - On-Line is availably just not truly being utilized by the games, Mario, Zelda, Metroid games are always fun, mostly every other game can honestly use a lot more work

Ok the PS3 has all that, but the 360's version of *all that* stuff is better in every way. I own all three systems and yes each does have its strength and weakness... In my opinion the 360 is built for Gamers, the guy or gal that wants to play games get on-line and just get in the mix now, gets a 360! I consider the PS3 the Media Machine... it has games that will entertain you and so on but it's real strength is the Blu-Ray player watch movies, and use browser if your to lazy to use the one installed on your computer.

You can play on-line, but you really get what you pay for on the PS3... For instance, as a 360 owner you know how easy it is to chat with someone in game or out, or how about the fact you have a friends list that is with you regardless of what game you play, you also know how easy it is to just play on-line and talk to your team mates without having to stop....press a button... speak... and then go back to playing. Example: War-Hawk your flying your plane and your in a big time dog fight, you need some help and oh wait a minute, let me stop the action... press the d-pad left... tell my guys were I am and that I need help....... and oh I'm dead never mind guys.

The PS3 is broken in my opinion and only half the gaming machine it could be I'm still hopeful that when HOMe arrives, will see some of the improvements the PS3 so desperately needs! The Wii, well they know how to make party games, I can't speak to much on the subject of the Wii, yes I own it but my son is the one that plays it and I prefer it that way. On-line has got to just suck though, but again I wouldn't know for a fact, just a hunch..... a player code per game just sounds tedious!

[QUOTE="gamming_master"]

Guys i noticed something wierd yestrerday with my 360, 1 month ago i got an LCD TV so i put an hdmi cable to inhance the graphics, before the HDMI cable i always put my hand behind the 360 and warm air would come out{this was after a few hours of playing},after the HDMI cable when i put my hand behind the 360 the air would come out hot{after a few hours of playing}?????

Guys i hope some of u would know something about this and tell me about it.

It's just a coincedence my friend. The type of output (HDMI, VGA, Componenet, Composite or otherwise) will not change the temperature the GPU or CPU run at.

Martyrdom I don't have a problem with. You can usually hear the grenade drop, or see the icon, so it's no big deal.

I just wish Juggernaut had some sort of visual queue, so you could see if someone was using it or not. The only reason it's annoying is because you get used to each weapon and how much damage it deals, so when someone doesn't go down when they're "supposed to" it pisses you off. But if Juggernaut players had a riot helmet or some kind of bullet proof vest or something, you would at least know that you have to shoot this guy a couple extra times.

Sgt_Politeness

Unless your playing HardCore there is a visual queue.

It's all about integration and standardization. PSN will always feel as if it was an after thought...or slapped on. Which it really was. XBL was built from the ground up, in the beginning. Also, MS has standards that devs must abide by...whereas Sony lets devs do whatever they want. Some might say that's a good thing, but the second you have to juggle two separate friend codes for the same friend on two different games, you'll start wishing they laid down some standards.edward2332

I agree! It's for that reason allow I haven't put my Wii on-line
