To show off a new HD TV? I'd recommend some good blu-ray titles (especially Planet Earth). For games I'd pick the free GT:HD. Motorstorm is probably the best flashy game on the PS3 at the moment, but the really big flashy games are hitting in the next few months: GTA4, Mercs 2, Ratchet & Clank, Call of Duty 4, UT3, Home, and GT Prologue are good picks for showy software. You picked an old thread to comment on, btw. Welcome to the site Charlie.

You see I just bought (three days ago) an amazing Westinghouse 37" HDTV (that supports 1080i but not 1080p) and I love it. I haven't bought a console system since the 3DO (and boy was that a bad choice). I want the next level, but something that will fully show off the tv. I've been convinced, at various times, of each console (XB360, PS3, and Wii) but I'm really left unsure of what to get. I've heard that the PS3's hardware is much farther from being maxed out than the 360's, so perhaps I'm leaning in that direction. Any advice you guys can give a low-tech guy with hi-tech gear? MUCH appreciated! Hey guys, I’ve been following this thread as a form of research.

I know Resistance does as lag is never a factor. correct me if I’m wrong…but Halo does not use dedicated servers do they? I know Resistance does as lag is never a factor.

Nintendo had no whatsoever competition back then, as Atari was done for, because the VCS 2600 was too old and the 5200 was not backwards compatible (most games didnt work right, although it was said, it does) and had no real games. Mario was ok, no doubt, I liked it too (even though I didnt have a nintendo home console myself, EVER, only a gameboy, thats it), but that great of a launch title it wasnt. (It was NO launch title in Japan, it launched with Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. and Popeye, essentielly 3 identical games!!). And, concerning Sonys bad launch numbers... The SNES had an initial launch number of 300000 :D Small innit? To be true, PC wasnt that wrong with the Mario reference.
