A friend of mine told me recently that EAs contract is up this year and that he and others are writing the NFL about not renewing it. I figure it can't hurt so I'm writing them as well. There are actually a lot of people that still consider NFL2K5 the best football sim and still play it yearly.

As the 360 has a better GPU it could look slightly better, but as someone said it will be on a few disks. I have never read just what fills up the BR disk unless it's uncompressed audio? Anyone know? Hopefully SONY cuts the cost of the PS3 so more people don't have to worry about things like this.

Some stuff is worth it, some is not. A lot of times I think that I would buy something if it was half the price. LIVE does have a new deal each week were they discount something; sometimes it's a game, sometimes a map-pack or add-on and sometimes it's something worthless. Keep an eye on those deals, you might find something you like for a reasonable price.When Shivering Isle came out on disk and was $20 that was great; you could share it and even sell it when you were done with it if you wanted.

July 2002, in the Beta. Worked great but there wasn't a lot of people to play games with.

Because 4 was taken.

A 5 sounds right to me. I feel that Co-Op saves it from a lower score, it's just not a great game and it's certainly not finished. Army of Two was fun for a short period of time once again saved because of Co-Op as it was full of glitches and poor quality. I have only played the demo for Bad Company but the single player felt a little bland and some people just don't care about MP. Battlefield 2 on the PC was a MUCH better game IMO.

And still not RROD. So i decided not to keep risking it and get a fan. I have a few questions about it tho...

1: How much does a fan reduce your chances of getting the RROD?

2: What is a good fan (ie, brand name, type) to get on ebay?

3: Do they work at all?

dzaric

Stay away from the fan add-on! It will do more damage than good.

[QUOTE="Teppe2k"]It's simple. If you have friends, Rockband. If you dont, Guitar Hero.Broc_Samson

Money plays a big factor.

And that sums it up. Cash and friends. They are both ok games, get what fits you.

Balance, you should have balance in all aspects of life. I am sure you can throttle down the game playing and spend more time with your girlfriend. When you do spend time with her, make sure it is quality time, not just going to a party together.

If this is not a joke then it is pretty sad. I bought Mass Effect for my 14yr old nephew when I picked-up my copy. There is nothing in Mass Effect that is "bad". Mass Effect under fire? That IS a joke.

Save a few more bucks and get a VIZIO. My friend has one and it looks killer. I play on a SONY HD set and it's ok but my SD TV was pretty sharp. Get a nice 5.1/7.1 sound unit before a new TV, it makes more of an impact by far.
