the big (many times over) debate

[bmd]

Fair enough.

It's by the Sega team who did Skies of Arcadia. A challenging slow paced strategy game with a beautiful watercolour engine. Shame it didn't sell very well.

Sounds good and IGN seem to love it -

...this strategy RPG from SEGA is one of the richest, most rewarding titles I've played in a long while.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm playing Blue Dragon on the 360 atm and it's quite good and have Lost Odyssey lined up after that so I'll probably be RPG'd out for a while after that but by that time I could probably pick it up quite cheaply.

I gots both and prefer the 360 for gaming, but recently have lost the love for gaming so the bluray feature in the PS3 is my new love

But since your description is about old school gaming, I'd recommend the 360.

I have a seperate Blueray player. But notice that I never by discs for it as they rarely release the best films on it and when they do they are are a stipud high priced. MostBluerays seem to be re-released oldies.

Umm, I presume you never frequent HMV or visit Amazon/Play.com's Blu-Ray sections?

HMV now doing BRDs on the old 3 for £20 deal they had on DVDs; amazon have some awesome deals on BRD (BBC Planet Earth box set for £30), as do play. IF you're paying full whack for a BRD you're doing it wrong.

Yield - is Valkyria worth buying then?

BMD - SuperStardust is a modern take on asteroids, a pure arcade experience and is my most-played PS3 game

Having said that, I spent about 8 hours playing Outrun over the weekend

Just get the same console that more of your mates have got. More games to borrow if they live close, more fun online if they're further away.

I agree with kyser_soze. Also use a price comparison site like http://www.find-dvd.co.uk/ Worth checking places like http://www.hotukdeals.com/ too. Check third party reviews to make sure the transfer is good.

I've not played anything like it before. It's a bit Final Fantasy tactics, JRPG and manga chess. Originally I bought it because of the good reviews on metacritic. Probably my most played game.

I'm stuck on the Liberation of Fouzen so I've put it to one side at the moment.

360 is much better value. & most importently fallout3 is onmly out on xbox and is the best game ever.

no it isn't it's a pc game ported to console which m$ have paid for exclsuivie rights to the extra content for around a year but then this content will come to all other platforms...

 

[METH LAB]

I gotta ps3 as a present so cant complain about the money but maybe should have got the 360 i dunno. Hell of alot more games on the 360, i dont have an ISP at home so havant got a f*ckin clue what the online features of either are like. And im knocking out 720p max coz my stupid out of date TV doesant have a bloody HDMI socket so im having to use component vid..

I also gotta wii but imma sell it coz im usually to ill to play it and it drives the dog mental.

peace

 

[ruffneck23]

have you got a vga socket on the back of your telly ?

if so get a vga cable

 

[METH LAB]

I have got gotta VGA cable actually... (on the front lol) its desinged for a PC imput and the insructions to the TV say it will go up to 1024i... i dont think the ps3 would do that as its set up for either standerd TV (which isnt even worth upgrading from a ps2 really), 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.

I dunno what would happen if i used the vga socket.. probably just remain on 720p??

peace

 

[ruffneck23]

well i used a vg cable on my xbox and it doest use 720p etc it gives a resolution of 1600 x 1200 and i think its a better quality than all this 1080 i / p but im sure someone will come on to correct me in a min
