I've owned my PS3 for a year without problems, but I'm trying to hook it up right now and first there was no picture with the HDMI cables, then when I switched to the standard composite cables there was no picture either. I've tried on two different TV's, still not working. Anybody else ever had this problem?

This is a good question, I posted something similar under "which game is closer to a real firefight?"

There are so many different things that you'd think about in a real firefight that you take for granted playing an FPS. Things like:

  • Being able to reload your weapon under fire. This needs to be practiced until it becomes a reflex action.
  • Keeping track of how many shots you've fired and actually conserving ammo (typically in a real firefight you wouldn't want to pick up enemy weapons b/c of reliability issues, you trust your own weapon more because you cleaned/loaded it)
  • Can you shoot, move and communicate with your team while wearing gear and supplies?
  • Aiming down iron sights with a real rifle takes practice, breathing control, and being able to recognize good sight pictures. There's no convenient blooming reticle
  • You wouldn't dare leave the rest of your squad in a real firefight
  • When looking around corners try to look low if possible, don't look around a corner at "man-height". There's no strafing around corners.
  • There is nothing noobish or cheap in a real firefight, you do whatever it takes to kill the enemy and survive. No one will bash you for using an M203 to blow out a real sniper's nest.
  • Don't hug walls, bullets can skip along walls
  • There is a clear chain of command, everyone in the squad knows who's in charge, and who they should be listening to.
  • You are either looking quickly or firing when you pop your head out from behind cover. You can't sit somewhere with your head up and scan your sector all day
  • You have to think aboutbullet penetration when you shoot at something.
  • All it takes is a bullet graze orsomething random to decrease your combat effectiveness.Basically, if you're hit by anything anywhere, you're most likely out of the fight.
  • You have to think about the texture of the ground when you're trying to figure out where to move for cover

Anything else I haven't thought of?

Me and a buddy are having this discussion, and mostly I'm considering Modern Warfare and Battlefield Bad Company, but if there are any others, feel free to mention. I would consider Operation Flashpoint but I heard it's buggy.I'd also like to hear your reasons why, etc.

Cool, I didn't know that, where do I go on xbox.com to transfer my licenses to my new hard drive?

I've tried that, deleting the full game even and re-downloading it from scratch, but for some reason it keeps starting with the trial mode. Is there anywhere else I can ask for help with this? Tried looking for help at the actual xbox.com website, but their "Contact support" option seems to cater more towards hardware issues.

Thanks for the reply, i'm playing the game with the same xbox live gold account, but I re-downloaded it onto a new xbox 360 hard drive because my old system crapped out on me.

I'm having problems with my copy of Braid from XBLA, I've unlocked the full version and paid for it, but every time I try to play it, it starts in the trial mode and doesn't save my game data from when I unlocked it. Has anyone else had problems like this?

I've got a disc stuck in my PS3, and I've tried everything besides actually opening up the case to get the disc out. I'm thinking about using a video game repair service, (www.videogame911.com), have any of you had experience with video game repair services? Do you have one that you could recommend?
