Yes, but MGS is pushed back to '08, as is RE5 and Gran Turismo. These all should have been out for the holiday season. Basically whatever is coming out for PS3 will also be out for 360. Assasins Creed, Call of Duty 4, Grand Theft Auto 4 etc.

exactly, so it's a flip of the coin for which you want.


None of those titles interest me anyways, like you, I'm not a big FPS fan

Only game i'm looking forward to is GT5, and i'm realistic that it won't come out till '09.

Just pointing out that the games everyone was waiting for for PS3 arent going to be here for a while and people like me who havent bought a PS3 yet have other options. I will most likely end up getting a PS3 in a few months. I just got tired of being behind and playing PS2 still

im in the market for either, but i cant decide. im only really interested in a few games, im not a hardcore gamer. i want grand turismo 5 and i definately need grand theft auto 4. does COD 4 come out on ps3?

for some reason i just prefer the controls and the way the ps3 works. i have never been a big fan of any xbox 360 i have ever played, and i have played alot. i was playing halo 3 this weekend and i was bored of the game after an hour. i love FPS but i use the PC, i like using the mouse and keyboard for shooting shit up. for video games i like racing and shit like GTA, ace combat, etc

price isnt a factor either, i like how the ps3 has all the shit integrated, and the blue ray disc feature is cool. my TV is a 40inch samsung flat screen but its not 1080p, is that alrite? i think its like 720 or something.

Does anyone know the differences in the 40GB version of the PS3 that is coming out and the other versions and why they matter? I know BC is gone and there are only two USB ports as opposed to four. What are the USB's used for besides connecting/charging a controller?

I don't even charge my controllers w/ the PS3, I charge them on my comp cause it's closer to where I sit


The memory card one is tough...i use it....but I could just as easily use a USB adapter.

you can charge your controller via your computer USB?

is that all you can do or could you use it as a controller for your computer?
