Guess they should have listened to the fans and given them KOTOR III.

On a personal note, I hope your friggin' MMO becomes a huge money pit, and you have to shut down all your servers and piss off all 13 people still playing it!

I have a 360 and a PS3 and in all fairness Bungie has never set the bar too high with graphics, with the eception of halo: combat evoled. saying that halo 3 or halo reach is the pinnacle of graphical potential of the 360 is like saying resistance fall of man is the best the ps3 has to offer graphics wise. gears of war, mass effect 1 or 2, even oblivion all out shine any of the halo titles. If your going to be an uber fanboi at least be honest. the fact is that some games play better on the 360 when it isn't rrod'ing (notice the unbiased honesty). The PS3 does have an awesome processor, and for some games that utilize it well and are develped with it in mind, they turn out pretty awesome. Large scale veiws with several objects like heavenly sword or god of war 3, do really well because much of the workload is put on the processor. Other games where textures need to be highly rendered typically seem to be better suited for the 360 with its shared 512 memory. I think a game like Halo would work well on ps3 hardware. However, I think that Gears of War and Mass Effect are better suited for the 360. The fact is ps3 exclusives look great, and 360 exclusives look great.....with the exception of the halo titles. you can't judge a console's potential by one game series, especially when it hasn't graphically impressed since halo: combat evolved.

DRM isn't aimed at stopping pirates; don't believe me? Just drop in on pirate bay and download a copy of spore or bioshock. Pirates don't buy games. For instance if a sub-par game comes out that isn't a unanimous hit, pirates aren't going to buy that game even if they do not have the means to obtain it for free. What are they willing to pay for such a game? Who knows, but rest assured it won't be 50 or 60 bucks. In my case I usually wait a few months and pick it up on eBay or half.com for 10 or 15 bucks other than pirate the game off torrent or newsgroups. This is where the publishers and developers really take a hit. They receive no profit from used game sales, this is what they aim to stifle with DRM. Why are game sales better on consoles? not because piracy eats away a sales, but rather because of a lack of pc exclusive titles that are able to run on a wide range of systems. When diablo 3 and starcraft 2 release my point will be validated by huge sales numbers and eager pc gamers more than willing to shell out good money for quality titles.

Gamespot should stay away from tech articles. Go to Toms Hardware for some real comparison charts.

Don't get too excited guys; as shown here, for resolution around 1080p the 9800 gx2 best the 280 in almost every bench. Also, check Tomshardware.com for a more thorough review. Since this is supposed to be the new flagship card from Nvidia, it should at least perform better at higher resolutions than a card that is almost 200 dollars cheaper. ATI's new top 4000 line Radeons are are rumored to perform 40 percent above the 9800 gx2 and be priced in the 400 dollar range. If the upcoming radeon cards perform at only 20 percent above the 9800 gx2, then I don't see how Nvidia will hold the title this time around.

Actually I have been using NiMh rechargeable in the battery holder that came with my premium system. They work great. You can pick up a 8 pack and charger for about 12 bucks on ebay. Each one recharges about 1000 times.
