probably had the game way before launch

He already mentioned that he never got the chance to run a backup on it. That's why I wondered.

I am willing to buy PS3 before 2010march because FFXIII is coming out and this game is only one I am interested from PS3 at the moment.So I will use PS3 on my Pc monitor as I am using Wii.So i will join you in cople a month's :)

That was one of the big reasons I was thinking of grabbing a ps3... But, it's more for Versus then xIII that I'm looking forward to.. So, since it's only on Ps3, Gotta get it..

Come over here & talk FFxIII

ugh, dont get it for ps3! unless of course you like limited graphics and using a controller to aim your weapon...

I enjoy a lot more on the PS3. I had MW 1 for the PS3 and PC and ended up playing it on my PS3 all the time. I play mostly PC games and think PC is far better but this game I just have more fun playing it with a controller.

So yes I do like aiming my weapon with my controller and like to play on a 65 inch DLP TV at 1080p thank you.

Plus I'm not paying no $60 for a PC game with no dedicated servers. It won't be as lagy for the console as it will be for the PC.

My monitor stretched the images to 16:10

Is there anyway to fix this? Make it display the black bar instead?

There aren't any buttons that seem to do that...

Color preset, volumes, input setting, there is one more button, but it doesn't seem to do anything...

I have a lil PS3 hardware question:
I want to upgrade my PS3 HDD. Some sources say that it's compatible w/ any 2.5" SATA/SATA-II HDD's, other ones - 5400rpm SATA only.
Question #1: is it possible to use 7200 rpm hard drive , and if yes, is there any improvement comparing to 5400 rpm?
Question #2: What's the largest hdd i can put into my console? So far i fount 320GB(SATA), but some SATA-II HDD's with bigger capacity can work in SATA-I mode...

I believe you can install a 640 as it is 9.5 the 12.5 will not fit (750, 1tb)
The 7200 rpm helps load game data thats all. Wouldn't get one for a ps3 honestly

I have a 120GB 7200rpm drive in mine. Makes a little difference loading games, but not anything worthwhile. I only used it because the laptop it was in died, and I had it laying around.

Agree with you entirely. I bought MW2 for the PS3 and don't regret it at all. I love playing on a 50 inch screen, on my couch, with 5.1 surround sound. It's fun as hell, and PS3 is awesome. :rockout:
