QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Jul 22, 2007 -> 11:29 AM) Seriously, i love my 360 and everything, but wait till fall to get a 360 because they're replacing the 90 nm chip with a superior 65 nm chip that is a lot better and quieter. They are also adding a 3rd heat sink which helps get the hot air out of the 360. Both are being put in to lower the failure rate in the 360 and make it a much better system. Any idea of an expected release date? Also, to the PS3 guys. The only game I would really look forward to on PS3 would be the new MGS.

Planning to go pick up a 360 today. Any suggestions what to get besides the system as far as accessories, games, etc?

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Jul 20, 2007 -> 02:02 AM) So Sherk & Franca both tested positive for steroids. Idiots. The best thing was the Inside the UFC Special on him before the fight when they talked up how Sherk was such a workout warrior and all natural. Waive bye bye to your title Mr. Natural.

In other news, there is a mascara shortage in Detroit today.

Guess they are tired of showing stupid ass paper,scissors, rock tournaments. Is this an E(3)?

Welcome back. Nice work fellas!

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Jul 14, 2007 -> 11:45 AM) Gah, I'm so torn. I want a ps3, but I dont want it. I'm afraid if I get it all it's going to do is collect dust, like my Wii, until MGS4 comes out. I could wait a month and buy Madden on ps3 along with GTAIV, and basically play Ncaa08 and halo on 360 and madden and gtaiv on ps3. I'm not really sold on Haze yet so that doesn't really excite me. I'm in the same boat as you Chimpy. I want it but at the same time I am torn and it's a tough choice. Also, $500 is a big investment for a gaming system.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Jul 13, 2007 -> 11:55 PM) For some reason, I envision the knuckleballer as a reliever yet another disaster. I'm just saying the relief situation is not fixable until the offseason apparently so why not shift a starter to the set up role and either let Charlie or Floyd give starting a try? I repeat it's for the rest of this season only. Or trade Pods or Mack for a middle reliever somewhere. I guess reality suggests we'll find out soon if Haeger can do the job in relief. This season is already shot in the ass. Why mess with your starters and their routine? Do you want to have guys who are getting paid $10+ million injured? When is the last time either of them pitched relief? (I am not counting Mark's save either )

Final line on Eggy. 7IP 2H 13K. Nice

QUOTE(shipps @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 07:55 PM) I feel kind juvenile admitting this but Transformers was awesome.The effects really got me which normally I could care less about.And there was some really funny moments to go along with it,just a great summer flick. Actually, I agree. I thought it would suck and I really enjoyed it. It was a throwback to my childhood.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jul 10, 2007 -> 10:01 PM) Could be worse... The police have been looking for the guy who stole his jumpshot for years. Classic

That's a little steep for Ichiro. He is good but he isn't $20MM a year good.

QUOTE(Shadows @ Jul 10, 2007 -> 07:04 PM) What is the difference between the elite and the premium? and dont throw numbers at me I dont know what that means, I need it explained out Sonik summed it up in a post above. It has the largest hard drive (120 Gigs) so you can store a lot of files/downloads from Xbox Live on it. The HD is like 4-5 times bigger than the premium. Has a black wireless controller and a cable to connect it to high def televisions and get you the best picture you can out of it. Also, if the price drops Sonik posted are true it will be the same price as a regular Xbox premium is right now.

QUOTE(rock1735 @ Jul 10, 2007 -> 06:56 PM) Charlie Haeger was promoted. Source?

I'm really torn on what system to get now. PS3 was looking good with a price drop. However, 360 with the possibility of MGS and the price drop on elite may be a better option. Any word on if the price drop is confirmed or not?

Word from e3 is that the president of konami stated he feels the price of ps3 is still too high and will consider porting metal gear solid 4 to other systems to make up for the development expenses

Has anyone used the Blackberry Pearl? I am thinking of selling my phone and picking one up. Any thoughts?

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 06:36 PM) I don't know if you've heard, but the price drop is official now. Yep, just saw it on bestbuy.com today.

I say go for it. Long term improvements can only mean good things. Plus, it will give me a fighting chance to bump my post count against people like ss2k

And in other news, the sun rose in the east today.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 07:54 AM) I posted a link ealier. It's probably in page 8. According to that link, it is suppossed to occur on July 17, same day when NCAA 08 comes out. You rock, thank you sir.

When is the PS3 price drop supposed to occur? On the ps3fanboy website it says effective immediately. However, sites like bestbuy.com still say $599. Anyone have any idea?
