from their rules i think you have to purchase the game.

usually this would be a no brainer but i think 2k has stepped up their game enough where they are making this decision somewhat difficult this year. They are offering a million bucks. They also improved their game

this is how i see it

mlb 2k--

better commentary, statistical analys and presentation as far as camera angles and realtime

the control is more fun. i hate the meter pitching in the show

sig styles are more accurate

game looks like an early version of the show but is always buggy and ai can be glitchy and easy to figure out.

comparable modes as far as my player etc, smoother online but may change this year

offering a million dollars

mlb the show---

better graphics

much more polished gameplay

online play is supposed to be better this year. plus its free being on the ps3

added realtime presentation. animations are much more detailed and realistic.

I'm trying to capture a video that is going to be about 45 minutes in length. I picked up a dazzle but the sound is off and the file sizes are huge. I need this to be of decent qualtiy and be able to fit on a dvd disc. What do you think is the best route? A capture card or a camera like the new flip recorder?

I played my xbox through a computer monitor for the longest time with vga and hdmi to the dvi port and never had an issue with jaggies. Since i have gotten an hdtv and thought it would look better(it's a panasonic), but there are noticeable jaggies. I've tried both component and hdmi to no avail. I've messed with the sharpness but that just makes the image blurrier and hte jaggies are still there. Is this just an issue with the 360 and a lack of anti aliasing or what? unforntunately my tv doesnt have vga so i can't try that. Is there a setting in service mode or anything that will get rid of this? Kind of disapointing...

lol. I do need to exercise more. I used to play basketball a ton but my legs can't take it anymore. I'm getting old man. Golf isn't my thing. I'm sorry. It's ok and i've done it several times but eh. Gardening good luck. I'm in downtown in a big city. My friends and I were playing ping pong a ton this summer, since basketball is out now. Does that count? As an older activity that is somewhat exercise? video games have always been a time killer for me.

to be honest i've played halo and left4dead recently and the 360 games keep letting me down. These games are very kiddy to me. I played Modern Warfare 2 for a short time and got really bored with it. Maybe it's just me but i don't get a whole lot of enjoyment out of these games. Shooters, Shooters and more shooters. I'm just not sure if the ps3 is going to be different. Heavy Rain looks interesting to me. Uncharted 2 somewhat although i'm not huge into platformers. MLB The show interests me. Demon's Souls looks pretty cool. I definately want to get Red Dead Redemption which is a multiplat. Alan Wake I want to get on the 360 and i finished me2 and enjoyed it, but is it really worth keeping a system for 1 game? That's pretty much where I'm at. That's kind of why I want to try something new. I just don't know if the ps3 is going to be any different.

On the 360 the best games i've played this gen and really enjoyed are

Oblivion

Mass Effect 1/2

GTAIV

Halo 3 was fun for a short time.....

That's a very short list..

The thing is once i'm done with a game i'm pretty much done with it, so i usually just try to get what i can for it and put it towards something else. Like I'm trying to explain i've had the 360 for like 4 years here. So i've experienced it. I kind of wnat to try something new. I agree a nice pc rig is the way to go and i have a decent one. I'm awaiting starcraft 2, but pc gaming is suffering these days somewhat. Certain games are better on the console and easier to just pop in and play. I usually have my pc and one console for that purpose.

I know these threads don't always go over well here, but I'm not sure where to ask, so let me explain my situation.

I'm 36 years old. I've had a 360 this entire gen. To be honest most of my friends outgrew games a long time ago and the people i associate with it's not a gamer thing. So live, all that stuff is not that big a deal to me. I do hop online and shoot some annoying people every once in aw hile and do enjoy it for that purpose and online play but it's not a social thing to me.

I do play games a good amount. I've been gaming since I was very young. I like the fact most demo's come out first on the xbox. I think I might get a bit impatient since I haven't really had to wait to try games as I know sometimes psn support is a little slow on the uptake so I might miss this. I also see Halo Reach, and Alan Wake coming out but I'm not that obsessive where if I miss a game I'm going to die or anything here... DLC/Achievements I Don't really care. I just play games for fun and achievements are meaningless to me.

I have a nice HD TV. The xbox is ok but the quality isn't always the best hardware wise. I do notice having to swap discs these days. Just bought ME2. I'm also noticing the upscaling on the 360 isn't that great and there are jaggies when playing in high def in a lot of games.

So that leads me to my situation. I just traded in a bunch of old games for the 360 and have a $150 gift card to gamestop. I trade in the console and the 2 games i have left ME2 and NBA 2k10 that should be enough to get a ps3 free of charge. I'd probably get heavy rain and mlb the show with it. Which would end up costing me about $120 for the games. I'm not the type of person who keeps everything and try to get things as inexpensively as I can here. Having two consoles is a bit much and I don't need two. So should I keep my 360 or get the PS3 considering what I've told you?

I didn't realize Mike Singletary played video games.

Maybe it's me but most of these game i buy and are collecting dust after a month or so. What game(s) have really kept your attention this gen?
