Hey Guys,

Just wanted to share that I beat Metroid Prime Hunters, took me forever. It says I have 51% completed with 100% octoliths found and it ook me 15:59 to complete along with 30:28 to beat Goria. And in the video section I"m missing 2 videos.

I'm just glad to be done with and now I can move onto another game. Maybe Final Fantasy IV I think, something light on action, a happier game.

you're using a port to judge rather than the game you have as your avatar? smells like fakeboyOntain

Im not a fakeboy i just happen to have an orignal xbox also. you cant honestly say that Metroid 3 looks better than Riddick, Jade Empire, etc.

sure its more colorful and particles, but Riddick, Gaiden, and Halo look to have a much higher poly count

I just purchased a wii and dont get me wrong, its fun. I was reaidng some older articles that said its a bit more powerful than the orignal XBOX.

call me crazy but NBA 2K7 XBOX looks a light years b etter than LIVE 08 for Wii and Halo 2 & Ninja Gaiden pretty much blows every Wii title away. So has the Wii already peaked graphically?

I have a 32" Sammy, and I'm not gonna lie:

Last gen looks flat terrible on it. Atrocious. Abominable.

I've noticed the PS2 looks the worst out of the bunch, but I've heard this is due to the PS2 not being locked in with any specific resolutions. Instead of simply 480i/p, there are all sorts of wacky rezes on PS2 games that make even more scaling necessary.

On top of that, I'm still not 100% sold on the benefits of LCD over a good old-fashioned CRT display. CRT's have deeper blacks, no smearing, clouding, or ghosting. And as for plasma? Forget it. Does the ideaof having lifebars and HUDs permanently burnt into your screen sound appealing? If not, forget even thinking about a plasma at this point.

My advice would be to hold off on purchasing an HDTV if all you're going to play on it for the immediate future is PS2 games. The prices continue to drop and the tech continues to improve (just look at the difference in contrast ratios these days, 8000:1 was good last year, while now you can find 15000:1 ratios).

And watching cable television looks like absolute butt on one. Sure, you can pay an extra twenty bucks a month for a hi-def cable box, but that doesn't change the fact that standard def programming (which constitutes 98% of the channels you'd be getting, even WITH a hi-def box) look like butt on a hi-def display.

Shame-usBlackley

lol thanks guys,

yeah maybe ill wait for the holiday season. out of college working with some extra money now. the rumor of $399 40 gig model with spiderman 3 blu-rays really got me tempted. well see if that pans out. youre right about the new tv's looking like butt. my cousin has a sony bravia. and i hooked up my gamecube on it to play RE4. looked TERRIBLE. on a $3000 tv.

So im guessing unless i have a ps3 with hdmi cables, anything else will look just as bad.
