You keep saying it's all doom because of how Microsoft wants to tap into the casual industry because they want to make money. You're forgetting that they could make even moremoney by catering to both the casual and hardcore industry.

TJORLY

Forcing this ridiculous motion sensing rubbish on us isn't going to help the hardcore industry.

They're not forcing it on you, it's an optional peripheral. If Microsoft can make this much money and have this much market share from a predominantly hardcore fanbase then do you honestly think they would try to get rid of that? Just try and think logically for a second and then you'll settle down.

To put it basically for you, the Wii has sold about 50 million worldwide, 360 has sold about 30 million and the PS3 about 24 million. So to put it simplistically that puts the current console audience at 114 million. So for Microsoft to go all casual and not cater to the hardcore audience in the next gen market that effectively means ignoring a potential 64 million+ customers or 56% of the market and that number will only grow as prices go down.

Obviously it's not black and white like that but you get the point.

PS3 online is free because, like the console- it's inferior.

When will game developers relax and let us play as the Germans and/or other Axis members. I think it's possibly one of the only ways to keep the WWII genre fresh. I know it was extremely refreshing and enjoyable playing as the Germans in Company of Heroes.

And yes it would be quite easy for them skip over those particularly dark aspects of WWII, then again Treyarch didn't have much of a problem showing Russians kill unarmed Germans in WaW.

I'm pretty sure you can but it involves creating a new account I think. Not 100% but try creating a silver account and see if that helps

[QUOTE="crazywayne287"]

I have heard that HDMI consoles only upconvert to 1080p. i am considering getting asystem w/ HDMI. Has anyone tried to go between the two and noticed a difference?

LithuanianGamer

Are you stupid boy ? Did you climb the stupid tree and hit every branch way down ? Of course 1080p is better

He's not asking which one is better, he's asking if there's a noticeable difference between the two. The difference becomes harder to discern with the smaller the screen, however like someone else said most games will be running at 720p anyways.

Furthermore just because someone isn't up to date with screen tech doesn't mean they're stupid. By the way the terminology is diving off the tree- you can't climb something whilst hitting things on the way down, stupid.

To TC: I would strongly recommend getting 1080p for 42" and up, whether you decide if it's worth it for 32" and bellow is up to you, go look at some of the TV's in stores they usually have them all playing on demonstration so you can get a good idea.

Well I've got no ideas, i've tried going through all the nvidia settings and all my TV settings... nothing is helping. At the moment I'm using 720P just so i don't have to guess read everything.

In 1080i everything isjust blured and distorted, even video and images.

[QUOTE="-GeordiLaForge-"]That's a good idea. Try forcing "VSYNC" (Vertical Synchronization) in the nVidia Control Panel.-GeordiLaForge-

Alrighty I'll give that a shot now. What would be better to use in this situation, a HDMI or DVI cable?

They really use the same exact signal. HDMI just includes audio. I would use DVI, especially since the audio pass through on your video card doesn't support surround sound.

Alright i'll stick with DVI then.

I forced Vsync on but that didn't hit it on the head, I'm trying a BIOS update now.
