Well now that we've established that the Vaio is better than the Mac, is the Vaio good at gaming? Or bad?

Sorry there gameguy6700 I must've missed your message when I posted. Thank you for those great suggestions, I'll definitely look into it. :) So, a Vaio wouldn't be okay to game on?

I'm down to two laptops, a Sony Vaio (AW Series) or a MacBook Pro and I don't know which one to pick. The Sony Vaio costs $1,600 and the MacBook Pro $2,200. Honestly, it'll come down to what's better at gaming and multimedia experiences. I'll post some specs. for the laptops:

Sony Vaio:

Processor Type: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor P8400 (Centrino Technology)

Processor Speed: 2.26GHz

Memory Type: DDR2

Memory Maximum: 4GB
Speed: 800MHz

HDD Capacity: 320GB

HDD Speed: 5400rpm

HDD Interface: Serial ATA

Screen Size: 18.4"

Resolution: 1920 x 1080

XBRITE-FULLHD Technology - Yes

Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT GPU with Total Available Graphics Memory of 2280MB (max)

Video RAM: 512MB Dedicated video RAM

Chipset: Mobile Intel PM45 Express Chipset

Interface: HDMI and VGA out with Smart Display Sensor


MacBook Pro:

Processor Type: 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with 3MB on-chip shared L2 cache running 1:1 with processor speed.

Memory Maximum: 2GB (two 1GB SO-DIMMs) of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM

HDD Capacity: 250GB

HDD Speed: 5400rpm

HDD Interface: Serial ATA

Screen Size: 15.4"

Resolution: 1440 x 900 (native)

Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT Graphics Processor; 256MB of GDDR3

So now that that's out of the way I can come back to my question - which of these two laptops are better for gaming and multimedia experiences? I'm leaning towards to Sony Vaio because it seems to have a better graphics card, it supports bluray and HDMI, more HDD space, cheaper price. With these laptops will I be able to play games like WoW, or Diablo and stuff like that?

Any help would be great, thanks guys!

exaple: 80gb w/ mgs4 (not true, well, i dont know cuzz i dont have 1)

So can somebody give me a list of ps3 versions and what game it comes with. PLEASE?!:?

WiiAdventurer64
The two official versions of the PS3 are the following: 80GB Playstation 3, that comes with no game or blu-ray movie for $399.99. The second version is: 160GB Playstation 3, that comes with the game Uncharted, and a free voucher for the PSN title - PAIN for $499.99 There were two old versions of the PS3 that came with Metal Gear Solid 4, and Motorstorm but these were limited editions (so is the 160GB with Uncharted so if you're getting a PS3 soon, get the 160GB because Uncharted is a great game, and you get double the space) so that's why they're not here anymore. There's been 20GB, 40GB, and 60GB but these usually only came with blu-ray movies. (Actually not so sure about the 20GB, or the 60GB) There's alot of different versions of the PS3 that are not here anymore the 20GB, 40GB, 60GB, and the original 80GB (MGS4 bundle, Motorstorm bundle - with B/C) but now we have the new 80GB, and the 160GB. Sometimes those retailers give you custom bundles, for custom prices. There was a bundle with Ratchet & Clank, 2 dualshock 3 controllers, 1 blu-ray remote, and the 40GB PS3 for 450$. You see what I mean? But those don't happen that often, and are pretty rare. So, sorry if that got confusing. But those are the current and previous SKUs of the Playstation 3.

All of you most know now, about how the Starfox creator doesn't want to develop a new game for the Wii...but I have a question:

Isn't that Nintendo's franchise? Didn't they always publish the games? Can't they find a new develop willing to create a new Starfox Wii game? I remember Miyamoto or Iwata, I can't remember that the Wiimote would work very well with games like Starfox...and now that idiot doesn't want to develop one. There's no excuse...

Aww, this is sad. Why wouldn't they want to develop a Starfox Wii? Makes no sense? It would make a fortune.

To be honest, no I don't think its 500pts (5$). I got it when it was free, and I enjoyed because it was free. I don't think its worth $5, sorry. Kind of dumb that Nintendo is charging points for a web browser, but whatever.

I'd go with the bigger screen, the 32" one. Though, Phillips may be more reliable than JVC. Also, component cables don't significantly help so if you honestly don't feel like dropping 35$ for those cables don't...it may not be all that worth it.
