Nothing for me, aside from the Store possibilities.

I would get Orange Box if I already didnt get it for my 360 a couple weeks ago.

owa · 12-09-2007, 05:11 PM

UT3 for sure. Maybe The Orange Box even though I don't really like Valve.

Ascended_Saiyan · 12-09-2007, 06:49 PM

I'm ALL over that UT3 (It's been paid for...just need to pick it up)! I have fresh batteries ready for my keyboard and mouse that day. If the new Warhawk map comes out around then, I'm all over that, too!

Starkiller · 12-09-2007, 07:36 PM

UT3 baby!

airhead · 12-09-2007, 08:28 PM

UT3 Pre-order from Amazon when ever it arrives.

Nothing for me this week. I'm buying too much other stuff.

IVe pre ordered GT5 prologue off play asia, i cant wait. Paid the extra AUS$20 to have it sent via FedEX, hopefully be playing it on the 15th!

krinkle · 12-09-2007, 10:31 PM

Unreal for me this week.

Shin-Ra · 12-10-2007, 12:11 AM

I've already ordered UTIII, passing on importing GT5P because I'll be getting the EU or US version of GT5 as there's no way I could live with a full Gran Turismo game's worth of untranslated menus and a foreign GT5P save probably won't import into GT5 for unlocked cars, money etc.

Agreed. Plus With the US version dated for Feb. I can wait 2 months.

I pre-ordered both Unreal Tournament III and the Orange Box from Gamestop. I picked up UTIII on Tuesday and Orange Box yesterday, but I didn't get to try them out until last night. The are freakin' incredible!

Unreal Tournament III on PS3 is amazing. It looks fantastic and runs butter smooth. I tried the PC demo, but I always found UT to run too fast on PCs. It's looked in on PS3, and the frame rate is perfect.

Up until now I've been consistently playing Resistance and COD3 online. UTIII runs noticeably quicker than resistance, but not by much. Seriously try it out as soon as you can. Epic has stated that the 360 version will not be out anytime in the near future, because they are trying to come to terms with Microsoft on the user mod section. The cool thing about the PS3 version is that it fully supports user created mods from the Unreal Engine tools on PC.

I tried a bit of the Orange Box last night too, and it was immediately apparent that the graphics in Half-Life 2 are noticeably improved over the PC build. I've played through it several times on PC, and the PS3 version looks better and loads noticeably faster. I haven't played Episodes One or Two yet at all - ditto for Portal and Team Fortress 2, so this is an incredible value for me. I also haven't noticed any of the framerate issues that were reported in early preview builds yet, but I'm just getting started. They guy at Gamestop told me they were informed in a conference call that the issue had been cleaned up prior to its release.

Both games are must have additions to the PS3 library. Definitely the best online PS3 titles of the year, along with Call of Duty 4 that is.
