Prototype is a game I’ve been excited about for a long time. What’s not to like about running around a digitized NYC with freaked out biological superpowers battling Black Ops military units and a mutating populace? In addition to the wanton destruction in the trailers, you can assume the identity of anyone you meet for some stealth/espionage gameplay. Check out the website for descriptions of the powers and some interesting videos.
All the videos from E3 make me want to upgrade my PC again. The graphics cards are getting a little old, and I want to be able to play the newer titles.

From the sound of all this, I swear I need to pony up and just buy a PS3[/quote]
I got one recently. I’ve been a PC gamer all my life, never really liked consoles but the PS3 is a hell of a package. Admittedly, the main reason I got it was because I brought a 42’ LCD and 7.2 Surround sound and needed a blu-ray player, and the PS3 was only $250 more then a stand alone player. I remember X, and a score of others saying it was better then most blu-ray players anyway so my decision was pretty easy.
Definately a great purchase, and since I’ve had it, I’ve hardly played my PC.
Although when a game like Diablo III (finally) comes out, I’ll probably buy that on PC.

Am I the only one who felt Spiderman was pretty crap all round?
Could’ve cast much better actors.[/quote]
Never really read the comics, but I thought all 3 were pretty crappy, with each one worse then the other. Even so, I’ll still watch it. I’m just stumped how it is one of the highest grossing films of all time. And yes, the actors blow.
Good, then I can admit my set-up (I’m a closet geek).
Running a 37" 1920x1080 LCD screen (Acer) with inbuild wireless network card (can stream media off my laptop, but with the consoles don’t really use it anymore, still sounds cool).
Have a PS3 and 360, running a Logitech wireless surround sound system (wife said if I upgraded surround sound it had to be wireless, good for me).
Haven’t really got a game I’m into at the moment, so I just muck around with Call of Duty WaW when I feel like zoning out.

Yeah, Blu-ray was the selling point for me. I don’t even have any games for it (yet)!
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one excited for Diablo III. I’m actually glad it’s been delayed so many times because the broadband where I live sucks! Hopefully I’ll have moved by the time the game is released.[/quote]
Every Blizzard game is always delayed 50 times, but they never disappoint. It still is coming out this year though right?
I am waiting for companies to make OLED TV’s more affordable and get the kinks out, they will be sick. Sony is leading the way with OLED technology and if you get a chance to look at one in person, the picture quality is ridiculous.

I was holding out on one before I decided I’ll be waiting years and bought and LCD.
Have you seen the LED panels? They’re also pretty impressive - though I’m not sure how they compare to the OLED ones.

Yes I saw Samsung’s LED TV and it’s SICK. The picture looks WAY better than any other HDTV I have ever seen.
I fail at fixing the RROD. Cracked it open, cleaned the processors to a mirror finish, remounted the heat sinks with washers, and threatened Yahweh with full conversion to Buddhism if it 3-ringed me.
Fucker hit me with two red lights.
Thank God I found an Elite consol-only for $100.
Needs me a PS3, but the business fund comes first.
Don’t know why I’m pumped for Darksiders. It’s got Joey Mad designs, but . . .

Which model?
My friend just saw a Samsung LED TV and was raving about it; I bet it’s the same one.

How did you find the Elite console for $100??
You know what pisses me off about Jasper 360s? M$ is pulling a fast one and now calls the RROD on the Jaspers a certain error number that is NOT covered by the warranty that was meant to originally cover the RRODs.

Fucking loophole. Fucking M$.

Are you serious? That’s ridiculous, I thought the point of the Jaspers was that there would be no more RROD?
No surprises from M$ to be honest - “Let’s spend our R&D budgets on…Advertising!”

The one I saw in person was the 8000 series at 55" screen size. It was ridiculous. Here is a clip of the 7000 series, I couldnt find one of the 8000 but you get the idea. The tech guy told me to wait 4-6 months, as the price will drop by 1/3 probably. He also told me that the OLED TV’s are even better than this. I coudnt believe how thin the screen was, only 1.2 inches thick.
