you need to change jobs sir! I love all the ideas.....hopefully we'll see change. I also look for great challenge in games. And I might hold off on this to see if there is change. You make it seem that's it's almost "boring" to play the game.

Other then Online play. This game doesn't sound to good. IMO

It's doesn't make me play the any different. But it's a cool feat. I guess. Now when people start to brag about it, and let it represent there "gaming" skill it can get out of hand.

But for the most part, It's cool to have.

The only difference between the new Arcade, Pro and Elite models is the storage and the black finish on the Elite. I have a new pro, and if I bought a 120Gb HD for it it would basically be a white Elite. I have one with a Zephyr MoBo and it is quieter and cooler than my friend's launch console, and I've heard the Falcons are even quieter.iamdanthaman

Same here bro. I had a launch Pro and just picked up a Arcade for the HDMI..I'm not sure which drive I have in the Arcade, but it's way quieter then the 747 JET I use to own.

Yeah the star wars movies have a calibrator. But if I'm right it's only for the withes and your contrast.

Good topic....I do think DLC will start being the norm for games now because.

1. Hardcore fans will buy anything that comes out for there favorite game no matter how much it cost. (Ex. halo)

2. DLC is a way to ship a game without having to be completely done. Ship it with 8 maps, DLC 6 later on. No excuses but I'm sure that's how they think now.

3. Great games like Oblivion and Graw have got a bus load of content. And I do believe it's great in keeping the game alive. I still play Graw all the time and Ubi really showed love to its faithful fans. Yes we are paying for it. but we also got some free content. So ubi does care about the fans.

Over all I like DLC for the future of gaming. Games like Halo release there content free after a set time period. And if others adapt this method, I believe most people can't complain. The hardcore can buy when it's fresh. And the causal can get it later for free.

Basketball=2k

Baseball=The Show

Football=EA (well really don't have a choice)

And the others sports are up for vote. But I think those 3 are locks.

is there a specific type of HDMI cable? I looked at their website (monoprice) and see that there are a bunch of different types of HDMI cables--confusing to me at least, but then again, I am a noob. :)feryl06

Most people either use a standard HDMI cable. or a DVI to HDMI cable.

monoprice.com and you need an hdmi to dvi cableflow797

Best way to go! I found out about the site the other week and ordered a hdmi-dvi cable and optical audio cable for under $10 and 5 dollar shipment. Cant beat that. BB and CC would have been much more plus tax. I'm sure I saved close to 100 dollars.
