Chicago: More Popular Than Porn ... The Legend Continues

naw i dont own warcraft 3. i m actually not very good with starcraft either, but i have fun playing.

That’s a good point, but those Microsoft component cables are way more expensive to produce in general than generic HDMI cables due to their proprietary nature. I’m all for cutting out the component cables, but packaging the HDMI cables would probably cost them as much as packing the composite cables. It’s just a nice little convenience for the customers at an inconsequential cost from both Sony and Microsoft. Oh well, doesn’t affect me at this point.

On a semi-related note, from the most recent Game Informer survey, 54% of 360’s fail. :rofl:

PS3 is at 10%, and Wii is at 6%.

I can understand Wii being at 6%, since it has the least number of moving parts by far. But more than half of 360 purchased really failed? Damn.

Wow this thread is a spam hole.

Anyway, I posted my gathering for this week in the match making thread for this Friday. Hope to see you guys there.

I’m light years ahead of you niggas… :tup:

Jerry: Still at work. I’ll be home prolly around 8ish. And sorry I didn’t bring back halo earlier this week, but I’ll drop it off when I get back home from work.

Well back to work…

You see that dirty looking texture? I’m ashamed of that thing!

used SFIV for both system is on sale at gamefly for $22. and bunch of other games.
its on slickdeals.net

i know there is ps2 to ps3 converter, is there converter for other way around?
wonder if i can put female/male plugs on those ps2 to ps3 converter to see if it works the other way…

As in, use the PS3 controller on the PS2? I’m pretty sure you can’t, but not 100%. There’s no way the PS2 could register the SIXAXIS. And I know PS3 sticks don’t work on PS2 systems, despite being USB.

edit: Slight correction, the official fight sticks for SF4 don’t work on PS2’s. There are universal sticks, though.

Thanks Aki. Yay. I just ordered 1. $22+tax, free shipping.

Any decent PS3 marvel players here? add me for some games. I also play SF4 and am just starting to play BB.

i should have my stick modded for ps3 around next week :tup:

Beats : How is ps3 mahvel? I hear both good and bad about it, so I’m wondering if it’s worth the cash.

marvel is always worth the cash imo…heh. I haven’t played it extensively…like I said, I need to get my stick modded first.

xbox is definitely right now. better players, better online experience, the game menus don’t lag, searching for games don’t freeze the xbox…

PS3 is PIMP. $299 – such an incredible value for what you get.

Mahvel it is then.

As for systems go, I’ve had three 360’s, first one red ringed, second one just stopped reading disks (AKA Dead Rising error), and the third which was an elite had some sort of harddrive errors where it just kept deleting all my saved data.

Finally got a PS3 and havrn’t had a single problem besides when you go from 1080p to a normal tv it doesnt change back and you have to do a system reset (hold the power button on start up).

Not to steal your thunder, but how would you (or anyone else for that matter) feel about a gathering in Elgin on Friday instead? This would be my first ever, and it’s not really MY house… per se.

I’m house-sitting for my parents this week and their place is pretty fantastic for multi-set up arrangements.

we’ve got these T.V’s for set ups (and technically, I could grab another 32" 720p from my apartment in st. charles).
1x62" 1080i
1x32" 720p
1x17" 480p (SD LCDTV)
1x36"(I think) 480p
another SD large screen downstairs (old projector big screen), I have no idea how a 360 or ps3 would look on it nowadays, ps2 always looked great though.

Also, I have a grill, so if anyone would want to bring burgers/steak/whatever we could totally grill it up.

We’ve got a pool table and an actual pool/hot tub if any of you are the swimming type or just want to take a break from games. Although most of the pool sticks are busted so if you’re big into pool I suggest bringing your own if you have one.

**I haven’t posted this in the official gathering thread yet because I’m seeing what the interest would be, I’m about half an hour away from GW, about 10 minutes from Frankie’s if that gives you an idea at all.

Technically for those wondering about train situation, I’m near the Big Timber stop, although the times for that stop are totally weird so I wouldn’t count on it.**

It sounds like Tactic’s larger gathering went well, so this idea piqued my interest.

damn that sounds pretty pimp clayton, and helluva lot closer then maple park for us peeps a bit closer into the city.

where are you in relation to rt. 20/randall in elgin? I’m pretty familiar with around that area (used to go to ecc way back when). if you decide to do this, mind posting it in the gathering thread as well? I’m sure a few peeps from out this way would be willing to attend.

really close to that area, actually.

You can take either to get to my place.

rt. 20w to coombs, hang a right and it’s almost a straight shot.
Randall N. to Highland and hang a left, again…almost a straight shot.

I’m about 5-10 min. from ECC.
