    There are some striking enhancements w/ Blu-ray titles -- I notice it with the audio as much as I do with the video. The firmware updates for PS3 and the up-conversions to standard DVDs look really great too.

    As for the Xbox, I haven't really gotten in to Live too much yet but we'll see how it goes...
    If you have older movies on DVD there's not much sense in buying BRD to replace them, as your PS3 upscales the DVDs anyway.
    Some tranfers look really good (The Thing!), and Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio are great.

    Exactly. They look really, really good.

    However, one old title that got some Blu-ray love: The Song Remains the Same. I think they did an awesome job re-working the audio on that Zeppelin release. Check out the audio on Since I've Been Loving You -- completely sick!

    The new Left 4 Dead game that comes out this week supports 4-player co-op. The demo is out and is pretty awesome, even though some think it could get repetetive. It's made by the team who made all the Half-Life and Team Fortress games, so you know the online components will be top-notch. It's like an interactive 28 Days Later where you're one of four humans left fighting off hordes and hordes of zombies.

    Decent but the Source engine is d-a-t-e-d.
    Might grab it, but not for $60 bucks.

    Gears 2 is also 4-5 player coop.

    you won't be sorry.


    for someone who doesn't watch the game that much and certainly doesn't play it, do you think this game could be fun?

    i ask because i do enjoy baseball games...actually, the only game i have played is The Bigs and i enjoy it everytime some friends come over

    so is FIFA arcade?

    i d/l it ... it did get boring after a while ... i think the fun part in the game would be in trying to work as a team with your buddies ...

    my post was very confusing...i just read it, sorry :D

    i meant that while not particularly liking the game of baseball, i do enjoy playing certain baseball video games.

    the same goes for soccer...would i enjoy this game?

    I think he is asking if FIFA is an arcade like soccer game or more of a sim


    I dont watch/like soccer too much and found soccer games to be fun if playing against a friend.......against the computer, not so much
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?
