I completely agree with the above. I have the 47" version of the Westy posted above. Motorstorm looks so awesome in first person mode, it almost gives me motion sickness. After joing Netflix, the Blu-ray portion of my PS3 is finally getting a workout. I can't believe how much better BR...

As far as games, I have Resistance and COD3. Talledega Nights (free w/ system) and Kingdom of Heaven for movies. 47" 1080p Westinghouse = nice. Looking forward to some awesome BD movies and quality 1080p games next year.

Fight Night Round 3, due out Dec. 5th, also has support for 1080p. I didn't pick that one up for 360, so I think I'll get it for PS3 to check out some 1080p goodness other than the F1 demo and Talledega Nights. Hopefully, developers will find a way to have more upcoming games support 1080p...

With the proper setup, the PS3 REALLY shines... i.e. 1080p LCD at least 42" or larger, 5.1 surround, proper viewing distance. All these people saying it looks like crap at EB/Gamestop/Best Buy etc. need to see it play on something other than a 20" LCD at Gamestop. So far, (I was one of the...

Both of these sets rule for IQ, but the HP Pavilion MD5880n is the victor. Next year we will see sets from all of the major players that do 1080p input via HDMI. I think it's awesome that PS3 is going to support 1080p over HDMI, not only for BluRay, but for games as well. It's great to see...

#1 - Blu-Ray Now, this, this, is the absolutely fricken huge. I was going to buy a Blu-Ray player the moment I Could anyway, but getting one mostly subsidized by Sony sweetens so much I will wait for the PS3. $500 or less for high definition DVD? Who cares if the games need that much...

I played for about 3 hours last night and it runs and looks great. Space combat rules. Being able to play as jedi is also vey cool. The Episode 3 content is cool as well. I'm glad they included a nice long singleplayer experience for those times when the servers are full of nothing but...

I own both and they are both great. I couldn't really choose one over the other. I don't like having to play CoD2 in 1024x768 to get smooth FPS, but it still looks and plays awesome. Battlefront 2 on the other hand runs fantastic in 1600x1200 and is quite fun. The robust multiplay of...

One thing about forcing DX7 mode is it may limit some of the advanced features of DX9 - i.e. smoke effects, etc. I don't mind running in 1024 since the framerate skyrocketed after switching from 1600. It seems to be running at 60 fps or better with all of the intended effects. IMO 1024x768...

I preordered it for PC from Gamestop and it is supposed to be there at 9:00 PM tonight for pickup. Their automated phone service informed me of this via a phone call last night. This was news to me, as it is not supposed to be on sale until Nov. 1. The message also said to come dressed in...

To get CoD2 to run butter smooth on my ststem, I lowered the resolution to 1024x768. Mind you, this is not the res of 1600x1200 I previously enjoyed on last year's games (Half Life 2, Doom3). These new proprietary engines are hell on system resources! I also lowered the resolution down to...

I have a PSP and love it. As one poster stated earlier, it's awesome to have that kind of power in a handheld. I have Burnout Legends and Wipout Pure and they are both awesome. The movie-on-the go factor is also very handy, especially now that UMDs have caught on so well. The video quality...

Quake 4 to me is very well done. Last night while playing, it made me realize just how much I love the DOOM3 engine. The shadowing and lighting really make for an imersive experience. What I really love about this engine is how damn good it runs on my PC. 1600x1200 is the resolution my eyes...

For those wondering about performance on a 6800 Ultra: it plays wonderfully in SP. Haven't had the chance to play MP yet. I'm running it in HQ at 1600 x 1200, no AA and it is super smooth. Just like DOOM3, I'd rather play in 16x12 w/ no AA than in 1280x1024 with AA. Just a preference I...

I have the Corsair COOL for LGA 775 and it makes a huge difference in my cooling temps. I went from a Thermaltake Tower 112 with a 92mm Vantec fan which was getting temps of 60C idle and 70-75C load. I dealt with those high temps because it was nice and quiet. Temps with COOL are now down to...
