So that's the one I'm thinking of getting but I wondered something from those who have it. Does the xbox send audio through HDMI AND RCA at the same time or will I need to constantly be switching back and fourth. I only want to use these headsets at night to play things like Modern Warfare while my wife is sleeping.

I've hardly been able to do MP on my 360 because she wakes up at 5am and I feel bad making a ton of noise and as you all know FPS's and such are hard to play at low volumes because sound is so vital.


At worst, my guess is I can leave the HDMI hooked up and the headsets hooked up and just tell the xbox to output to RCA when I want to use the headsets, and output to HDMI when I want my reciever on. Does that makes sense or is it more of a hassle than that, or easier? ]]> marcallo http://www.highdefforum.com/gaming-systems/103879-turtle-beach-x31.html HDF Game of the Year Voting Thread http://www.highdefforum.com/gaming-systems/103856-hdf-game-year-voting-thread.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:52:30 GMT Let's see if we get some interesting results. I'm gonna try to come up with some fun categories too.

Everyone vote 3 times on any category they own a system in. If you only own one system only vote for general GOTY. General GOTY can be any system.

"Borderland" - Sal's game of the year.

the new IP from Gearbox was simply perfect in every way from start to finish and offered hours of replay value and endless items to aquire. there is not one single aspect of this game that didnt wow me (except for the endgame). great story, great visual representation, and awesome play mechanics.

I think Borderlands has just created a whole new Genre that other gaming companys will soon follow --RPS (Role Playing Shooter) is here and RPS is AWESOME !!!! ]]> II SAL II http://www.highdefforum.com/gaming-systems/103835-ii-sals-ii-2009-game-year-award.html PS3 VGA Nominations... others too. http://www.highdefforum.com/gaming-systems/103822-ps3-vga-nominations-others-too.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:15:21 GMT Ok, ok, ok... I know I'm going to get shit for this, but it's totally worth it.

This is for everybody who said that the only good games on the Wii are from Nintendo. :D

Here's the category for Best PS3 Game:

Grasshopper Manufacture may finally be making the leap to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 with a new No More Heroes game, rumored to have been revealed in the latest issue of Famitsu magazine [Update - yup, it's in there]

And that's about all we know at this stage, other than a supposed title, No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise.

But we can't say that No More Heroes making the high-definition transition from the Wii to the PS3/360 is much of a surprise. Grasshopper lead Goichi Suda has previously expressed his interest in bringing Travis Touchdown and crew to other consoles.

And, considering Suda's interest in Project Natal—and presumably Sony's PS3 motion controller—the No More Heroes franchise seems like a no-brainer kind of port.
This was a solid mature title for the Wii, so it should appeal to HD gamers as it has plenty of laser swords, lots of limb loss & blood, f-bombs, and you get to bang a hot chick...

My 360 RROD once, and the warranty will be up on that in a few months. It has been freezing up a couple of times a week lately, and the DVD drive is getting really noisy. My 20 gig hard drive is full, and I am tired of deleting stuff to make room. My xbox live renewal is due in January. I need to move the xbox to another floor in the house, which will mean I will have to purchase the wireless adapter. I just feel it may be time for the switch.
I do love my halo, and gears of war, but I know that the PS3 has some pretty amazing games also, so I'm not to worried about that.
I was wondering if anyone here has made the switch, and how they felt about it? 2 of my concerns, are the controller, and the online play. Do you eventually get used to the controller, or are you wanting the 360 controller back? When I have played the PS3, I wasn't to crazy about the dual shock, but would hopefully get used to it. Everyone says that Xbox live is better, but then they mention the chat, and some other features. I just want to play games. Not worried about chatting, or features, so how is the gameplay and finding games?
I hope this doesn't start a war, but I was just looking for some honest opinions. ]]> jquick77 http://www.highdefforum.com/gaming-systems/103776-switch-360-ps3.html Xbox 360 ROD 11 17 2009 http://www.highdefforum.com/gaming-systems/103775-xbox-360-rod-11-17-2009-a.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:18:04 GMT So I have had my current and only Xbox 360 now for four years! Pretty awesome when you think about it. Anyways...

Once I got COD6 MW2 it started to fritz out on me. It would freeze on screen and then I'd restart and it would do the same. Finally got it to work and it was working fine for a week.

Then I had it working two days ago didn't play for a day and today got the dreaded ROD.

I guess the reason for this thread is this. Is it worth sending it back to Xbox? Will they fix it or will they send another unit back to me? if they send another unit will it be brand new or refurbished or used? If it is used or refurbished I am not interested in sending mine back.

I will just get an Xbox 360 ELITE and be done with it. ]]> EditWhiz1983 http://www.highdefforum.com/gaming-systems/103775-xbox-360-rod-11-17-2009-a.html So what does everythink of the Black Friday Ads http://www.highdefforum.com/gaming-systems/103761-so-what-does-everythink-black-friday-ads.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:42:38 GMT So far not to impressed....

Ok I have been holding off for a while on getting a PS3 and now with the price drop I can finally get one. ( also my wife has given me the green light ) So I actually went and picked up my first blue ray which is Star trek last night. Got 10 bucks off ( it pays to go at midnight ) and probably going to get the GOW collection.

I have not owned or played very much of either game. I do have the PSP one and loved it. But I am reading online where many PS3 owners are mad due to the fact that they are having to rebuy games they already own. Which brings me to my question???? Why did Playstation take out the backwards compatibilty when they knew that was one of the best things about the PS2? Why are they not going to let PSP owners port over their UMD games if they get the PSP go???? Why not give a discount for trading in the older versions of games????

Nintendo made the Wii backwards compatible and now that they are enhancing older games if you notice they come out at a pretty decent price. Xbox did the same things through updates.... most of the best games for the system are playable and you can also buy those games as digital versions for a flat price $20. so if they can do it what sropped the PS3 with all the room that a blue ray has????

To put figures to this, some of my freinds at game stop showed me the figures for the PSPgo currently it has sold on 20, 000 unit the US. I even have people on other forums that did not even know it was out. So what does everyone else think about it??? do you think Playstation has made some bad mistakes???? The price drop is great but I know those that bought the old ones at such high prices feel cheated. So what can playstation do to get their fans back??? ]]> lordofthesith http://www.highdefforum.com/gaming-systems/103760-why-playstation-messing-their-fans.html Alan Wake trailers... http://www.highdefforum.com/gaming-systems/103740-alan-wake-trailers.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:05:01 GMT This game has been in development for a while.

i dont really know what i would be using all the gigs for. i dont plan on paying to download movies on it but may download a couple games but it will mostly be used for playing games and watching blu ray movies i rent. what else would i use the gigs for? does the ps3 save game progress to the actual hardrive so i dont need a memory card? i usually beat a game and sell it. how much space does that take if so? are there any big benefits to getting the slim over an older mode?l is 60 gigs enough for someone like me or should i just go ahead and get the 120 gig slim?
