GTA 4 pre-discussion and trailer! (if you DON'T have the game yet)

I downloaded a trailer for GTA4 if the playstation store and it was at 1080p. However all the game trailers were apparently shot at 720p. My guess is that it will be 720p for both consoles.
 
apparantly, even though halo 3 was advertised as being 720p, in actual fact it was rendered in 640p and only upscaled into 720.

goes to show that even this generation cant really handle fast moving graphics at HD resolutions,

and dont believe the "yet to tap the power of the console" BS; we heard that all with the original xbox, but none of the newer games pushed the console to its limits more than the original Halo game, for example.

I bought an elite, but I had no idea about it's design workaround of the overheating problem.

Can anyone provide a link to a reputable source? I'd have thought Microsoft would have made more of it as a selling point if it were the case.

This isn't the site i got the info from originally, bookmark was lost during a reformat a while back, has most of the info though.

Basically they've sorted the bonding around the gpu and cpu, well improved at least, increased airflow across both, and added beefier heatsinks, as well as better component placement/minimisation.

comparison between elite/regular mobos:

This is going to be the greatest game ever.

I just started playing san andreas again on my 360 and I have to say, it is still better than any game on any system, and its like 4 years and a console generation old. I can't even imagine how raw IV is going to be.
 
i'm polishing my xbox as we speak. lubricating the levers & pushbuttons on the controller. buying it fine wines & the best belgian chocolates known to humanity. %)

amazon must have thousands of them lying on a shelf, can they not just send me one NOW? i won't tell anyone, pwomise! :D
 
i'm so excited i think i might kill everyone i know and take their money

you know, practice
 
i hear tell they changed the targeting. which means it will be better, as it couldnt possibly be any worse.
 
but first i must sort out my internet speed problem. i reckon my COD4 crappiness is due to always having bad ping. and through months of troubleshooting and being on my second modem, i've concluded that our sockets are fuxxored. gotta call the real estate agent today to get an electrician to visit
