Hello fellow members and visitors. I wanted to get some input from you about things that I and others may not be aware of when it comes to the tech side of things. The first thing is recording equipment for catching MP action. I was looking to buy a new laptop thats HDMI compatible and getting a splicer so that I can play and record without playing through my PC. Do you think this is a good idea? Next, I was also looking to either buy a new XBOX or PS3. I wanted a PS3 so that my son and I can play together but the lag is atrocious and I hear that XBOX has less lag but that you have to pay a fee to play online. Is there any truth to this? Then, for our Awesome sig creators, I was wondering if you might be able to create a video tutorial on how to make sigs, just the basics? I tried downloading paint.net and that didnt work well at all. So Im going to stay with GIMP for now. Anyone have any experience with GIMP? Lastly, for whomever doesnt deal with much lag in your MP gaming experience, Can you recommend an ISP? I think the one Im using "throttles" their data feed so my data feed is always off. As always, Im honored to be a part of this clan and hope to play with you soon! Later

I'm not really tech savvy at all but as far as the xbox vs ps3 question you have....you do have to pay a monthly fee for xbox live. It costs about $50/month if I remember correctly, though I would argue they have better/more online options than the PS3 does. I like the PS3 online better simply because it's more of a "pay as you play" setup. For example, you could have not logged onto your xbox live account for a month, but would still have to pay the $50 just to keep your account activated in the system, while on PS3 you just pay for any extra content you buy via PS Store.
Hope that at least helps you out

Yeah xbox has a monthly price thats really the big draw back but I though it was only $15 a month. Paying to play online?  F2P is wayyy better. |

I had to change my mind about updating recording equipment and getting a new PS3. Instead Im gonna use though dough as a downpayment on a new home. Hopefully Ill be in a new place in a few months.
