Yes I HAVE Steel Battalion. Did he beat it on Veteran level? Also, the progressive scan functionality is not just for watching movies, without progressive scan higher resolutions will not work.

You are incorrect about the XBOX being the only console supporting olby digital, the PS2 has all that and more. As far as progressive scanning goes, I buy game consoles for games, not DVDs. It would be nice to have but I can certainly live without it. Now, have you played Steel Battalions? My cousin beat that game in eight hours the day after Christmas, and thinks it is the biggest piece of *something* he has ever seen...

New Levels to download and in the future plans for new gear etc in games. I would also imagine that at some point that will want to update "drivers" or there will be software / OS updates for the console and those will be delivered over the LIVE service as well I believe. As far as which system to buy . . . I have an Xbox and I LOVE it. The game catalog is growing fast and some wicked things on the way. Splinter Cell owns as does Steel Battalion. Blood Rayne is killer. Halo 2 coming. Sega GT is a really cool racing game. As far as power? Xbox is listed in the 2003 Guinness Book as the world's most powerful gaming system. Also, Xbox is the only console that supports Dolby Digital I believe. In addition to that Xbox is the only console with a Progressive Scan DvD player if I remember correctly, which means when games are able to do higher than normal TV resolution (a fair amount can already do 480p), such as 1080p the Xbox will be the only system that will take advantage of it. PS2 is an inferior machine in my book, although their game catalog is larger I am ready for some NEW game concepts not yet another version of Final Fantasy. All this I just my opinion though..=) Take it for what it's worth. -chris ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
