[QUOTE="Emad87"]

Am not sure what the whole framerate means. But is this option also available on the Xbox 360? just wondering.

I don't believe so.
Most PS3 games are v-locked by default, while most 360 games aren't.
Having v-sync enabled generally provides more consistent visual quality, though at the cost of occasional frame dips (or lag, as you might say).
In the 360's case however, you'll notice a higher majority of games exhibit screen tearing, especially when v-sync isn't enabled.
Most console devs don't give users the option to enable/disable this function.
Anyways, BioShock for the PS3 has the option (I think it's called Unlock Framerate); enable it to disable v-sync.
I tested it out a while back and didn't notice any drawbacks to enabling it (screen tearing, etc).

I have the 360 version and it also has the option to unlock the framerate.

Even though it's the most expensive out of this gen, it is a HUGE value. Free-online play, quality, performance, and not mention the blu-ray player is worth the $400 alone.

If you are considering a lesser known brand, try Insignia. It is the Best Buy brand and I've heard good things. Personally I have an LG 37" and love it. I managed to get it from Best Buy for $513. The best thing is to do your research. I found that a lot of the name brands also had better quality in addition to their name.

I had some trouble with that a couple times and it always seems to be when I'm fighting Big Daddies. After about 30 seconds or so it clears up and everything is back to normal.

I love Fallout 3, but don't care for Oblivion much. Oblvion's downfall in my opinion is that the story and characters bored me and that isn't a problem in Fallout 3. Like some above posters also said, VATS combat really adds to the game.

The one and only PSN game I can think of that I need is Chrono Cross. I only discovered how great Chrono Trigger is via my ds and I would love to experience the next part of the series. I only had my PS One for a short time and wasn't as serious about gaming when I did. I can say that I need more solid RPGS for sure.

Thanks for all of the tips!

I was just curious because I only bougth my PS3 a couple weeks ago and lastI checked I had only 49GB free out of 80GB. Plently of space left for me, but just wondering where it all went. Our family has a 360 and it tells you so much space is in demos, games, profiles, ect. I figured askin would be worht a shot.

If I delete home, is it possible to download it again should I decide to try it out again?

Also, if there an easier way to see what is taking up space on my hd than just adding the totals of eveything up?

I bought my PS3 at the end of May and I have 30 days to decide whether to purchase the extended warranty from Best Buy. Is it worth it? I also can purchase one for my HDTV, but really don't think I'll even consider that.

Did any of you get an extended warranty? If so, why and have you needed it?
