I'm in Act 2 now, I guess, and I've got almost everything complete in both morningstar districts. I'm 97% in control. Everything is lit up purple, except this one area near the highway, north of the penthouse a little ways. I know it's a gang activity becase everything on the checklist over that district is at max except gang operation which sits at 7 out of 8.

 

Anyone know where this is?

In case you're curious, it also works on the PS3. All my friends have 360s, and we vid chat often because we're spread all over the state of TX. My brother only has a PS3 - but I video chat with my nephews often on that.

Okay, so if games are going to be available for both UMD and download, the digital copies of games are going to have to be capped at UMDs storage limit of 1.8GB - right? I wonder if Sony will eventually start to break that barrier if favor of larger games with more features such as better graphics, voiceovers, etc... Anyways, maybe they'll release combo packs with the UMDs. Like Disney, for example, some of their movies are coming with Blu-Ray, DVD, and digital copy bundled together. They mentioned Bluetooth. Did they say exactly what it was for? I suppose a separate, and better, headset could be used in place of the Go's speakers/built in mic. Stereo Bluetooth headphones for music/movies is a possibility also. I think I read/heard something about pairing it with a cell phone. Is it possible that the Go could use your phone's data connection for internet access? This could give you access to the PSN store and PS3s remote connection. Just a thought. What about that video output that the 2000 offered? Did that make the cut?

@BenBenBen93 - Mass Effect 2 should appear during EA's conference, which is going on now on G4 - but for some reason G4 is messing up on my cable at the moment. Anyways, Microsoft's press conference was way beyond what I expected. Overall, I'd give them an "A".

Amazon has brand new wireless 360 adapters for $80 with free shipping. However, I have read many places - including OXM - that the original XBox wireless adapter will work for the 360. It's much cheaper now...search around for a good price. Any remember, just about all of the extra accessories that you might need to purchase for a 360 are available for much cheaper than Microsoft's MSRP. Their $100 wireless adapter can be bought for much less elsewhere. There are many 3rd party Component or VGA cables that cost much less than Microsoft's and perform just as well. The $50 wireless controller can cost as little as $30 on various websites. Finally, $50 for a year of Live Gold...no, no, no. Watch for sales - you'll find 12 or 13 month subscriptions for around $30. I recently purchased a Live Kit that included the controller Keyboard, Wireless headset, 12 months of Live Gold, and PGR4 for $62 - no tax, free shipping. Just shop around!

Thanks! Did the size of the HDD limit increase with each system update?

I'm always shopping around online, I'm sure I'll find a good deal when the time comes.

Just out of curiousity, how large of a HDD can be placed in the PS3? Does each different model have a certain limit or are they all the same? I just got a PS3 today (Compusa.com had 60GB Refurbs for $289), but I had heard of this feature for a long time. I don't see myself upgrading anytime soon, but at least I will have reference in the future. I do know that it's got to be a 2.5" laptop drive - thats too bad too, since I have a 120GB desktop drive gathering dust in an exterior casing.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the help. I guess I shouldn't worry about it, then. I was thinking that since the video memory was almost 2GB, it was constantly using 1.5GB of my system memory and adding it to the 512MB of dedicated video RAM on the nVidia card - therefore leaving me with only 2GB of system memory for use. Out of curiousity, is there a way to adjust how much of the system RAM that can be 'borrowed' by the video card? I found no options like that in either the standard control panel Display options or the nVidia control panel. Is it in the BIOS settings perhaps?
