Oh, on a side note, why are 360 guys getting excited over the PS3 port of Lost Planet? The Sixaxis analog sticks just can't compete in shooting control and it is the same game again isn't it? I suppose people should at least 1000 the 360 achievements first?

Getting excited 'cuz I get to whoop on teh n00bz. And it's true that the PS3 controller isn't as good for shooters. It is the same game. And I've had the 1000 achievements for the 360 version for many months now. :rolleyes:

Oh, btw, you guys getting Rocketmen: Axis of Evil for the XBL? Cuz you should... Or for the PSN, since Fab probably won't renew his subscription just for that probably. :rolleyes:

I may actually be jumping on the "no renewal of the gold-membership" band-wagon like Fab is doing. At least until more reasons pop up to have one and M$ gets Live straight again and does some major improvements on their usage agreements. I hate that you have to be online to use content that you paid for already just because your 360 you bought it on died, which is inevitable, and had to get another one. I'm gonna just stick with PSN when I get my PS3.

Oh, speaking of which, I think Gamestop still carries new 60GB PS3s, Fab. Of course, they're the same price as an 80GB and don't come with a game. But full B/C totally makes up for that. So I think I may just suck it up and get one of those. Also, I've been seeing some cheap alternatives to my HDMI problem. I've seen cables online that are HDMI at one end and have a DVI attachement at the other end. They've been going for like $3 and stuff, so I dunno how good they could possibly be. Just been seeing some through amazon.com and pricewatch.com.

Have you tried PSN online? You can't check or send messages while in a game. Or send friend invites, etc. Even if Live has its problems, I was really surprised at how many of the features I took for granted (and as I should, since it's just a matter of common sense) aren't even possible on PSN. Hopefully a firmware update will fix that but some things  like friends list options probably do require some sort of unified structure. As for BC, I'm wondering about that too, specifically whether or not the 80 gb's emulation is any good. Though, anything would be better than the 360's pathetic attempts.

I haven't tried it yet, but I've read about it. I know they're working on an update to allow the XMB to become more versatile and will probably eventually catch up to LIVE.

And as far as BC goes with the 80GB, it's software emulation. Right now, it's 85% BC with the PS2 and will get better with updates, but the 60GB is almost completely BC with it as it's got actual PS2 hardware inside.

hulot]If there are going to be enough people buying it. You'll probably just end up in games with previous 360 owners. :D Still, I don't know about paying another just to be able to dominate new players, wouldn't you rather get a new game?

Well, I'm thinking that we'll at least get a lot of Japanese players. I'm sure they won't mind a one-year old port. But we'll see. Lost Planet seems to require a certain taste. A lot of gamers are blind to what's great. They don't think a shooter is awesome unless your machinegun doubles as a chainsaw or you can one-hit kill with a plasma sword. :rolleyes:

Maybe only to multiplayer? :p

Well, he said he was wanting to max out Lost Planet on the 360 before the PS3 version comes out. Right now, he's been working on getting to level 99. He was at 98 when I played with him. But, after that, he's got those two difficult achievements. There's still a month until the PS3 version comes out (in japan at least) so he could do it. Just, he may need to restock on controllers. I honestly can't believe I didn't smash my controller (completely) when playing mission 7 on Extreme. That was just a ***** to me.

Anyway, he'd have to get on it before DMC4 gets in the way. I know that's all I'm thinking about right now and I've been playing DMC3: Special Edition as both Dante and Vergil just prep'n for it. I also should probably go back through Dead Rising and get the remaining achievements when I get my PC working again. :D  wrote:
