Is that date final?

And is the NCAA game made by EA? If so, no fucking thanks.

[Semitry]

Glad to see you playing real sports games Po.

Yeah, 08 is made by EA, but supposedly the next round of Football games won't just be a rebadged/roster oldie, but reinvented and worth playing.

[Exoduso]

If that's the case, maybe i'll give it a shot... but it seems like the last batch of sports games from EA just sucked major donkey balls (especially FIFA and NBA..) so we'll see.

Exo, i'm about to leave for my local EB games now to buy a 2 or 4gig SD card. Is there any programs or equipment that I need besides those in order to get the games onto my PSP? Like a link cable for my PC? How/where do i download the games that I want onto the PSP? Do i need bittorent?

[Po]

And it's 60 fps... smoothest shit I have ever played. It is excellent Exo, trust me. I am thinking the reason being is because of 2K's All Pro game, it is finally putting the pressure on EA to not put out shit. And it is free to play the demo ffs... lol

And I'll still be playing the BIGS Sem

[Exoduso]

You do need a cable, just ask i'm sure they have them... it's a usb cord for the psp.

Other than that, just make sure the PSP you buy is at the lowest possible firmware version, cus the higher it is the harder it is to roll it back. (it needs to be rolled back to 1.5 before upgrading it forward.)

And yeah, you'd most likely want a blackcats/any other torrent site that carries psp games.

I certainly hope so, 2k pretty much murdered EA in 2007 (at least NBA did..)

And GD Gamefly for not sending me bigs lol..

What page of this unhealthily large thread can I find a decent breakdown comparing the three systems? I'm considering getting one of the next-gen consoles for Madden, which is one month away.

It's gonna be running at 60 frames a second on the 360, and 30 frames per second on the PS3 due to lazy developers.

If you're getting a system for Madden, get a 360. The Red Ring of Death debacle should be done, so it should be safe buying a unit these days.

Thanks, was mainly trying to decide between PS3 and 360. Here's a question though -- where's the page with an overall comparison?

[Po]

No dedicated page to comparison. Just overall discussion.

And yea, at this point, any multi-platform title is superior on 360. Especially all the EA titles though, because as was said, 60 fps compared to 30.

What is it you want to know about the systems?

[Exoduso]

I wouldn't pay for a system just for madden, but okay... just get a 360 since it's got more games to choose from after you get tired of madden.

[Exoduso]

amagawaddddddddddddddddddddd blue dragon demo is up on the marketplace.

Too bad it's getting hammered like crazy and the download is insanely slow, but still.

[Po]

are you fucking serious???

WOW

coming on to XBL

edit - wow 1.1 gb lol..

And it is clear more demos from E3 will be in there, since the section in new arrivals is called E3 2007.

[Exoduso]

yes but im at 2% after 10 minutes, so it's gonna be an all-nighter lol.

[Exoduso]

lol the marketplace is so gonna crash..

[Semitry]

I can't even sign on to live to start the download for the night.

[Po]

Blue Dragon @ 20% and climbing :D

I will give BG an exclusive review of the Demo tonight if I can
