Halo 3 official site update: new screenshots and details

May 1st 2007 2:09AM (Joystiq)
Is there a version of the site that isn't rendering 3D fog for the background because that nonsense is grinding my browser to a halt.

PS3's Genji uses HDD to quarter load times

Does this mean I'll be able to rent a copy and have a full version of it saved to my PS3 for as long as I want it?

Also, people seem to be glossing over the fact that the entire game is only 4GB.

Is that the HD-DVD add on sitting next to the 360? If so, holy crap! That thing is tiny!

fat boy,
The saving issue my only criticism of the game so far. I had to re-play the beginning of the game 15 minutes in and I'll have to do it again tonight. There are really only like 2 save points and I'm not that worried about saving without having enough time to finish a quest. It's having to do those quests two or three times just so I can get through them AND save.

Oh and it asking for where to save each time is a bit annoying but so far the game is fantastic. Something I kept remembering is that this guy is a photojournalist. Make sure and take pictures of all the stuff that's happening.

GRAW downloadable content up for 1200 MS bux

heh, "it's just a few maps and weapons." Go and develop your own games and see how easy it is.

DG, with a silver account, you can do everything a gold account can do EXCEPT play multiplayer games on Live. Trailers/demos/updates are free but I think it's the developers decision to set the price for their DLC.

Used video game stores screwing the little guy?

Grant, actually, I never sell any games because I see no reason to. I like all the games I own and I'd like to play them whenever I want. I'm pretty picky about the games I buy so the ones I do, I keep. The ones I end up not liking, I lend to my friends to try. If I never see them again, no big loss.

Mike, I'm not saying you shouldn't get any money back. I am saying that people expect a lot more money than what they will actually get. If you buy a car for $20K and try to sell it the next year with no interior except for the drivers seat, would you expect to get $15K for it? It's still a car. It will still drive you wherever you want to go. There is a lot of storage space where there were once seats. But you're not getting anywhere close to $20K for it. Probably not even half but I don't really know anything about cars.

I think Grant hit the nail on the head in that we all value things differently. To you, your used car is worth a lot because you paid a lot for it. It is the only car you have to sell so you want to get as much as you can for it. The dealer has lots of cars so your car isn't worth that much to him. It makes more sense to him to buy your car for cheap and sell it with a markup. You can also put up some ads for your car and probably get a better deal on it but that will take time and haggling. Meanwhile, the dealership is down the street.

You are right that all products have value. What I am saying is that people shouldn't expect everyone to value things in the same way. Think about it this way. Two people are trying to sell you the same product in identical condition. One sells it cheaper than the other. Which do you buy?

Used video game stores screwing the little guy?

refinedsugar, some people see the 49used/59new as "only 10 bucks more and I can get it new!" and other people see it as "it's 10 bucks cheaper used!" I try to buy used as much as possible because it's cheaper and it supports the used game store I go to. The owners are friends of mine so pardon my animated defense of them.

Everyone should remember that mom&pop stores ARE the little guy. Stop buying from corporations! Support your local indie stores!
