Good ol' myspace picture =P

Im in just about the same boat as you. I have the same card as you but with a slightly better CPU. Im gonna wait a little while, say a month or so, because there is a lot of speculation that AMD is gonna release their new ATI cards soon.

Hopefully by then, the price will go down maybe $50 or so...

But in anycase, it is definatly worth the upgrade. Its cheaper than the 8800GTS 640 and even beats it in many games! I know I'm getting one.

This might be a stupid question.

But i heard about peoples xbox live accounts getting banned for playing Halo 3 early.

I got my copy in the mail today, is it safe to play it?

Yea, im thinking the same thing.

I think they might be talking about the multiplayer aspect. Because that does really look like Halo 2 HD.

Amazon.com here

I probably wont get it on the 25th though.

With the maps avalible to us now, in the beta, 64 players is going to be chaos

I am in the Xbox 360 beta for CoD4 and I think there are a couple things you wont really like about it.

One of the things i know you will not like is the game still has the spray and pray feel to it. With the perks avalible to you, you will be able to shoot through thin walls and stuff. And some people just unload their RPK's and M249's through the walls trying to hit someone.

Its not as bad as I make is sound though. Not many people do it (mind you there are around 8k people in the beta currently) and I have only met the ocasional few that do.

Another thing that I think you wont like is that when you do fire, you appear as the red dot on the map. BUT there is a gameplay element to it. By using your weapon upgrades, you can get a silencer. The silencer allows you do stay off the radar when shooting. I think this creates more emersive gameplay and tactics so i dont have a problem with it at all.

Is there a website that updates what demo's are comming out and when?

DiRT!

Loves the demo, its gonna be awesome when the full game comes out.
