My gf has a 1080p Aquos that i will be playing movies/watching it on...i personally do not have an HDTV myself but all my gaming/movie stuff is at her pad anyway.

Parents do have 3 hdtvs at their pad so im set there too hehe

well, does your 360 have HDMI in the back? if so yes. if not the only upg would be to try and find better components to use. if you get a ps3 you'll forget about 360 for a while. its a whole different experience. and no im not anti 360...that was my first next gen system. i use to swear i would never get a ps3 but alas i have turned to the dark side

Ahh gotcha, and i don't think it does to be honest, but i'll check. I am going to nebraska furniture mart sunday possibly to get the ps3, they have a zero interest for 18 mo's sale and i can use the card for that, rather than blow most my paycheck! stoked! :)

remember the 40 gig has wireless too (i only mention that b/c they dont advertise it on the initial overview so dont be tricked into getting a 80 just for that), and yeah the NFM deal is good ;) GL man

There is no Dark side. I am getting a ps3 and keeping my 360. There's no way in hell am i going to part with my xbox right now. With games like GoW2 coming out. down the road with Bioshock 2 and with Prizefighter coming out. No way. There's no reason why you cant enjoy 2 consoles if you can afford them.

If your a gamer you dont care what system comes out on top as long as there is fun games to play.

I was thinking about it, but I am teh sux0rz when it comes to Linux, so Ubuntu scares me.

Does the PS3 support all if the Distrobutions?

I sorta liked Mepis it was damn easy.

Will keep that in mind, so you think i shouldn't even bother paying the extra $100 for the 80gig if i can afford to? I mean what more would an 80 gig version have besides backwards compatibility. Supposedly it is discontinued but heard some stores still carry it. I still am leaning towards the $399 40gig vers anyway.

i agree, however my dark side refrence was meant as "tongue in cheek" i have both as well. I pray for a bioshock 2 and yes Gears 2 in November. i have had my 360 since launch and its never failed *knock on wood* and its great.

as for the 2 consoles...sony was slow in getting some really awesome titles that say i must have a ps3! there changing that and continuing to improve week by week. initially its not money it was cost benefit ratio. why pay the 600 bucks if there were no games i wanted? now that tune has changed.

go 360 and go PS3!

thats your call bro, i stil lahve my ps2 and im workign on moving forward into ps3's-ville so the backwards compatability wasnt a huge issue. :) just getting a ps3 will make you happy regardless of the version ;)

Yellow Dog linux is the one that's officially supported I think for high definition. But I've seen pictures on the net of ubuntu or fedora running on it.

I'd do it, but I don't have a keyboard or mouse or anything, so I'm not sure what good it would do other than satisfying curiousity.

I've been trying to shake my n00b status for weeks, I suck, but its a damn fun game.

I've never won a Free For All, and the closest I have come is 2nd (once) and 3rd like 5 times.

So, I need to get better too, but yeah you need a headset, you too Tiny
