Toronto August Thread

ok so ranbats@orbit last week wre pure shit
if im doing nothing else, i will 100% go to funland.

mihai mm’s etc (4/7 cvs2/3s for 10)
baofu id like to money match you in 3s. i feel itd be a good match.

lets get hype bitches.

You can get an HDMI cable for under 40 bucks easily nowadays. If you look around, you can even get one for under 10 bucks. I even have an extra one if you wanna buy it. You don?t need to get the PS3 HDMI cable to hook up your PS3 to an HD TV. I use a regular HDMI cable from my TV to PS3 and it works perfect. The PS3 even detects it right away. Just make sure you get a ?HDMI male to male? cable. Don?t waste 150 bucks on a PS branded one. All work the same. They charge a lot for fancy gold plated, 100 feet, thick wire and bullshit things you don?t need.

When it comes to plasma vs LCD, I like LCD better. I think that for gaming and sporting events, LCD is better. Less blur on the screen when things move around quickly on the screen. Plus plasma uses way more energy and tends to heat up quickly. If you plan on using you tv as a pc monitor like I do, Windows looks real nice, large and crisp images. You don?t have to worry about wasting your tv’s life spand and too much energy when using LCD as you would with a plasma. I think both are great and have pros and cons. I like LCD tho.

I’m off to London this weekend. Come in a few weeks when my tv+ps3/soundsystem is setup so you can all admire my future source of bankruptcy.

Ian:

PM me on SRK/MSN about HDMI. I’m interesting in buying.

Btw, this is the TV I asked them to order for me today:

It looks really fuckin sick on display with a 1080p source (it was showing some Blueray demo). Jay/Ian…any thoughts on this TV? It’s supposed to be their latest model, just recently came out.

The other one I’m considering is the LG:

These are the speakers:

And btw, apparantely, 360 Elite is now only $500 ($50 price drop). Not bad at all…seems tempting…but PS3 having Blueray is too much of an incentive for now.

i wont start on the ps3 / 360 fanboy faggotry. but if u want a console for gaming (which after all, that IS what it is) i say go with 360. you cant beat rapist titles that 360 has.

12k 3dmark06 on a single 320mb 8800gts
not bad!

The thing is tho, a big reason I’m getting PS3 is for the Blueray drive. I know 360 has better titles by far right now, but I have faith in PS3 long term. Plus, the only game I actually care about right now is RE5, and that’s coming to both.

the thing is also that i dont trust either company anymore. fuck them. im jaded.
i laugh at all the 360 owners. all priding themselves in gears of war. "xbox360 exclusive"
gloating ensues
a year later…
pc version coming out
and a better package too.

gg microsoft.

“sir he drove off the roof?”
“WHAT?”
“he drove off the roof”

beast

bourrneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Still need to watch that movie haha.

Geese, just wait for the premium HDMI 360s. Don’t bother with that Elite shit.

Sunshine > Bourne.

Funland today.

That’s such a sick movie. Top3 fave along with the Prestige and Lost in Translation.

Jay: What’s the HDMI premium diff? When’s it comin’ out?

My only gripe was he unlocked the steering + hotwire in under 5 seconds!

…Oh and shaky cam.

VruS: I thought you were talking about Batman Begins haha. That’s the movie I was referring to…
