If all your used to is 60hz then yeah you won't notice a difference but since I got a 120Hz recently it makes me not want to go back to anything less. 240hz is overkill though 120hz is not.

I do not remember the model number, but I was looking at an LG 52" LDC with 120Hz and the Sony Bravia 52" with 60Hz that I have today and I can say it was not worth the extra money. I had a hard time differentiating motion blur due to the source material against the TV's themselves so based on that I opted for the less expensive Sony Bravia.

Perhaps the algorithms used now are better so 120Hz is ZOMGSOAWESOMLOL, I don't know but I do not care as I am not irritated with the picture.

Since you already work at a electronics store. I would save up for a set that had 120 Hz processing. It makes movies look amazing! There is a huge difference in the picture quality of not having that feature. My father-in-law just bought a Samsung LN52650 52" HDTV. It has the 120 hz processing which even makes up-converted DVDs look sharper. If you can swing it, I would save for that tv. If not, try to get 120hz processing and you have to get 1080p.marksman77

Well then 240 Hz should just blow you away. At the end of the day I bought a 52" Sony Bravia with plain old 60Hz and I have not noticed any issues. I am not going to say faster refresh rates are useless but you have to compare the television sets. Each manufacturer uses their own proprietary algorithm: LG has TruMotion, Samsung has Auto Motion Plus, Sony has Motionflow as well as others like JVC, Haier, Hisense (both Chinese knockoff brands). The algorithms pulse the LCD backlight others insert black frames, etc etc. So which is better?

With LG touting 240Hz on their new LCD lines, then why not just buy those if you got the money? Easy, don't bother until you actually compare performance. Which is often hard to do because the TV's you are looking at will not be side by side.

Niether side because it get's in the way.

Does anyone else get problems like this? My discs are in great condition by the way, with hardly a scratch on any of them. I thought GTAIV was an exception, but I've been buying more and more games and I keep finding certain qualities in the games that make them UNPLAYABLE without my HDD. It doesn't make sense, as other games such as Gears 1 and 2, Pure, Prey, Frontlines Fuel of War, Stuntman Ignition and The Darkness will work just fine without me needing to install them.

My 360 is 1 month old and I have had the exact same problems with RE5. It would freeze at the loading screen between chapters, so I installed it to the HDD and so far so good.

Methinks the RROD is a bit overplayed and it is too bad Microsoft has never, AFAIK, put out a report discussing the technical details of what leads to the RROD failure. Then again, why would they?

Who has the fight stick (standard or tourny)? I would like to know if it is really worth the money where it puts control beyond that of the normal 360 controller. I would fair better because I have a hard time with consistancy regarding the moves and even blocking because of the ill precise analog stick.

I cannot tell you how many times I felt taking my controller outside and smashing it on the concrete.

Recycle Technology.

How about Shadow Gate?

[QUOTE="huladog123"]If the employees at GameStop open up a factory sealed game and play it (whether it's for 5 minutes or 5 hours), it has been used and should NOT be sold as new. Otherwise, it's nothing but deception on their behalf because the customer has no way of knowing if the product is new or used.Grammaton-Cleric

And you think this only happens at Gamestop?

What do you think happens when a person returns merchandise at a store? Do you really think they throw it away?

No, they place it back on the shelf or send it to the factory to be re-packaged which means you could very easily buy something at full retail price that is technically "used."

And unlike Gamestop, you'd never even know it.

This depends on the definition of 'new' and you do offer a good point for a thought experiment.

You bought a pair of jeans and take them home. Your husband/wife hates the color and you take them back. You didn't wash them and you didn't remove the tags, so you receive your refund and the store inspects the jeans and puts them back on the shelf at full price.

Are these jeans new or used?

You buy a video game that comes factory sealed. Gamestop opens the game and lets their employees rent it out or take it home themselves for a few days. It comes back with no scratches, instructions are pristine, box is fine and they sell it at full price.

Is this game new or used?

Take it further...is removing the factory seal on a game box the same as removing the tags on the clothes and is playing the game the same as washing the clothes before you return them?

Most places do not let you return clothes especially after you washed them.

My point is that if I knew that something was "used" then I should have an option to wheel and deal on the price: 5% - 10% discount which in all honesty only eliminates the sales tax anyway. I think that would be fair.

a gutted copy of the game employees cant rent but is still considered newTheJayhawksWin

Then this is not a new game. Who could argue that it is?

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a 'gutted copy of a new game'?
