Both of these items are currently on sale at Amazon, so if you got the money I would get these otherwise these 2 items would normally cost you $800-900 bucks. Both of these are exceptional items. You will be looking at about $520.00

Did Sony say anything about the next update to grace the ps3? I would really like to know if they plan on adding Dolby HD and DTS MA support instead of just having it decoded within the ps3 and sent out as LPCM.

resistance will improve by miles over the original where geow2 wont.

as for kz2, no1 knows yet.

Frier6000

This whole thread is about predicting the future...

I'd have to say Resistence from what we know so far, but we don't know too much at all about Gears.

geow 2 will be a rushed product, i can just see it.

Not really. 2 year span between GoW1 and 2 same with resistance I do believe.

What's really hilarious is all the cows who claimed Gears 2 wasn't coming out in 2008 are now singing a different tune and in major damage control mode. :)

Super-Punch

That IMO isnt any better Lineup than what 360 has, but then again I could care less for MGS4, T6 or GT5. I'm much more excited about NG2, Fable2, GOW2, and Too Human (this may or may not be good, but at least its original and they are not suckling your money for the "fifth or sixth installment of a game with the same gameplay only better graphics.")

Both systems have good line-ups it just really depends on what games you like more.

XBR5 is also a 46 inch while XBR4 is 40 inch Suliman-Uchia

thats not true about the sizing. its the type of TV it is the XBR4 comes in at least 2 sizes I know of the KDL46 and the KDL52 - 46" and 52" I ahve the 52 and absolutely love it.

This comes out to about $510 but you simply cant beat that deal and thats about the cheapest your going to find a receiver with HDMI switching and the Polk speakers I hear are really really good. So save up an xtra 100 bucks and get something your not going to regret.
