when i got back from work at 2:30 i tried LIVE with no luck, whenever i try marketplace it cant retrieve data & gives me a status code 801500a, ive tried multiplayer COD2 with no luck (only just managed to get into a lobby) + even signing in can be a pain. its not something i want after a hard days work

everyone whos been playing FPS for a few years over diff system knows that allthough there are people out there who can only use mouse & somepeople who can only use controler, the simple fact is the best player use mouse not by chance but becose its the best ie: more accurate & much faster than controler, if you took the best player with a controler and pitted him against the best with mouse say 1st to 50 frags allthough the controler player wud score some frags the mouse user wud win overall everytime thats why top pro gamers recomend mouse. and thats why we shud we shud just have one control type, that way its down to personal abillity, if you cant hack it either put more practice in, change to PC or just except the fact your not upto scratch.

the problem is the mouse is much more accurate than the controler & faster, im good with a controler but i wud b allot better with a mouse, it will mean everyone who doesnt want to get there a***s kick by mouse users are guna have to get a mouse, ulltimatly it is a level playing field with just useing a controler, the fact that somepeople are c*** with controler doesnt mean its ok to allow mouse, you've got to blame personal abillity (or lack of).

boots you make the mistake of thinking that the consumer is the driveing force behind hdtv but its not, as useual is business, thats the world we live in, if it wasnt for business's trying to make money we wudnt have half the stuff we have today. do we NEED a HDTV? no of course not, will we be made to think we need it? oh yes. we will all have HD in 5 to 10 years but it wont be becose we the public want/need it.

lol boots, lets face facts your a sony fanboy so your noy going to admit sony is just useing ps3 to sell its blueray tech, as for HDTV yes buiness cares about it cos theres money to be made but joe piblic cudnt careless, as for HDTV selling laods well of course they are most top end tv are now hdtv & joe public is being told by the store salesman thats this is the new big thing, remember the public dont get what it wants, it wants what it gets.

its nice not getting some BS from a sony suit for a change but i dont think it matters, sony are allmost sure to win the next-gen fight & the HDDVD/blueray wars, i suppose thats why sony are allways (not inclueding this guy of course) BSing people.

well thanks boots, i presume the fact you didnt attack me is becose you cant pull any "facts" out of your a*** to prove me wrong. look ps3 guna be a great console its allso guna win the next-gen wars & sony with the help of its playstation fanbase its guna beat HDDVD, you can say what ever you want about the advantages to gameing blueray brings but gameing isnt the reason a ps3 has a blueray drive.

the thing with 360 is all the xstras are optional, now if you want to believe that the blueray (or HDDVD for that mater) disk format is needed for HD games than go ahead but even the most dedicated sony fanboy knows (some were in is head anyway) that sony only put blueray in ps3 to help it defeat HDDVD.

90% of people dont care about HDTV, they dont care about large disk storage, they dont want to buy a new tv or buy a new disk format or pay more for there movies, for vast majority of people the only thing hddvd/blueray has over dvd is clarity & ive never heard of people complaining about lack of clarity on standard def, HD in one form or another will become the norm not becose "we" need it but becose hey thats buisness & companys want to make money not just from sales of tvs/consoles/hdplayers but they are hopeing the copy protection that comes from HDMI will help to stop piracy (another words make more money), allthough a blueray drive future proofs the ps3 its not there becose its needed to make HD games or great games, its there to help sony beat HDDVD & thats the bottom line.

"they had remove all the HD content in oblivian to get it to fit on a single dvd" WTF!!! WOT NONSENSE, can someone tell me how many discs oblivian for PC came on becose aperantly with all the diff resolution a pc has (resolution is what HD is remember) then the PC will need a diff disk for every resolution setting according to ffaljka thinking. HD or high resolution (seeing as they are the same thing) is only needed to make the tectures/effects etc look good/sharp
