I'll give you 3 hints as to what he did during the offseason:

I'm pretty sure that I've read somewhere where someone tried it and said that it DID work.

Thanks very much for those impressions.

Thanks for the kind words, Rob.

Thank you for reassuring my feelings that I'm making the right decision on passing on buying the 360 at launch. No problem...after my time with it, I have to say that I'm very impressed, but I can't really call it a "must buy" for everyone (at this time). Will I be first in line on Tuesday...you be...

Absolutely...while I'm suspicious of ALOT of IGN's games that score high, you can always rely on their scores of dud games to accurately gauge their crappiness.

Here's gonna be the deal with Madden. It's very simple, yet we all tend to make it much more difficult than it really is. If you like Madden and have been praising it throughout the years, you're gonna like Madden 360. If you've been bitching endlessly about Madden, it's just not gonna be for you. ...

-We could not find the option ANYWHERE to change the camera angles!?!?!? -If you zoom out before the play, you can't zoom back in (don't know if this is good or bad). I'm pretty sure that I've read somewhere, that you can hit a button at the line and switch to "classic" camera view, without pausing...

can u create yr own person in tiger and play a tour? is madden worth picking up at all? can u just import some tracks off the ipod? thanks D, -You can create your own player, but I'm not sure if there's a tour mode or not (didn't check...we just played multiplayer)...Ea's 1st gen 360 games seem to ...

A friend of my who works for Namco gave me a call and invited me over to check out his new 360. I had the chance to put in about 5 hours worth of time with the games he got (madden, nba live, tiger, and cod)...here are my impressions, FWIW (playing on a 50" Sony HDTV): Hardware: -The 360 is huge and...

Well, a prerequisite for that is ownership of a ps2...however, if you're willing to send me one, then I'll have no problem picking up socom for it.

Toper, I echo your sentiments. I was going to make a post about this game today and see that you beat me to the punch. This is my favorite PSP game yet. I was skeptical about the lock-on feature but IMO it works great. I played a lot of SOCOM I and II online with the PS2 and I like this one better....

I'm really amazed with what they did for this title on the psp...I was close to selling my psp a couple months ago, but with this and GTA the quality titles seem to keep coming for this system. What's the latest firmware to run Socom? I am losing count with all the upgrades, I think 2.0 is the late...

Hmm.... I'll take your word for it but I just don't see how a lock on functionality would be remotely fun in a multi-player contest. If might be alright for single player games but it would defeat the entire purpose of a FPS multi-player wise in my mind. I was thinking exactly the same thing, but i...

Wasn't expecting much, but heard some favorable things so I picked it up this weekend...IMO, they did a great job shrinking this down. The environments are HUGE, framerate is tight, and loadtimes are quick (with none during gameplay). Also, they solved the one-analog stick for fps problem by giving ...

Yeah, BD mentioned that yesterday in this thread. It is pretty stupid to release on the same day the damn 360 comes out. It really cuts into NCAA sales I'm sure. I'm still gonna cross my fingers for backwards compatibility. Honestly though, I remember after I got a launch PS2 I had ZERO desire to p...

Just heard this was delayed till 11/22!?!?!? Talk about a buzz kill...don't even know if I'll pick it up anymore with the 360 and 2k6 coming out at the same time.

Tough break for the Warriors last night, was surprised that no foul was called on that last shot. Not to mention all those moving screens that Chandler got away with down the stretch. And Michael Sweatney gets a call but Jason Richardson doesn't? Home court advantage. The refs just didn't want to h...

Isn't that going to cost about $3000 after tax?

I'm assuming they're not all for you?

Buyers are standing by...

After reading all the preorder and bundle posts, I thought it would be a great idea if we posted a list of our tradeable bundle stuff in a separate thread, so that we can maybe do trades for stuff that we really do want...without having to go the ebay route. Here's my list: (UPDATE: 11/27) For sale/...

YAAAY...the team I'm playing this week in Fantasy Football has him.

Which of the larger stores like Target and Walmart have protection/replacement plans for their electronics? I know Best Buy does, and I'm intent on insuring the thing. EB or BB might be my only choices in that case... God, I would love to be able to purchase the 360 from Costco...they got the best ...

With the Suns, Nash is the key. Stoudemire and Marion are fantastic players but the loss of either wouldn't be catastrophic. The offense runs through Nash, losing him for an extended period would be as hard on the Suns as the Warriors sans Baron. Exactly...the suns of two years ago were a lottery t...
