me and my friend are working on a small theatre room in his new house that where going to hopfully have done by 11/9.....uhhh thats 9/11 backwards.... creepy.... anywho its a 20' by 8' projection screen.... we can either have 1 wide screen projection on it or 2 standard full screen projections..... all we have left to do is paint, wire the sound and projectors up, and get in the theatre seats and its done!... I think... :-D it beats having ot rent out a theatre instead...Peace out!

This should be my last thread.... maybe. For anyone who has been keeping up with this conversation you may have seen several people leaving several threads.... myself included. Any in my first thread I said I had a 720p HDTV. I said this because I did not read my owners manual. After a month of using the HDTV I have finally read the manual just to see if there are any neat things that I missed while playing with the HDTV. After about 15 pages of crap I found something that told me how good my HDTV really is. Its better than I thought, since I found out that its a 1050p and not a 720p. Holy shiznack I said! So I got a 1600 dollar HDTV 1050p for 530 dollars making that deal even better. Incase there is anyone here who wants to get a HDTV for a good price I recomend you look online.... not just at places like Ebay but there is also samclue.com auctions. I got mine there for 530 plus S&H that made it a grand total of 630 but it was still a steal of a deal since the HDTV is usally 1600.

I like my setup.

24" flat screen TV (CAN$250), Dolby 5.1 surround sound (CAN$130), a really old couch that some friends and I cut with a circular saw to make it an L shape instead of straight |. XBox Live (TreeNinjaCND), communicator headset, and most importantly.... an XBox with a cow-spot skin and evil skull jewel-skin.

Seriously, the Box looks awesome. I need a webcam to get pictures to share with the world.

Not to mention a guitar and amp I can use to play some fill-in music for cutscenes (after listening to the orgasmic creations of the Bungie team, natch). I still need to get two more controllers, to round out at a full 4 just in case.

And all this for less than CND$1000 :)

Hi Frankie, thanks for the tips. Just two questions. 1. How come all of the screenshots I've seen are a whopping 1600x1200 if the best the game can do is 480p? 2. How do I get a beta copy?

What's the deal with the weekly updates? I want Halo 2 info not things I already know or some europeans commenting on the content of the game!

I have a 5.1 set, but I don't have a HDTV due to the fact that I live in the UK, where they have gone with the god-awful DVB standard. And the only televisions that support 480p in the UK are either huge rear projection screens that have a tendency to get game images burned onto them (I don't wish to see an image of a grunt staring at me from the background of the news) or small LCD monitors.

A - Maybe the fact that the game is rated M .. aka for 17 and older ... there werent' that many suggestions related to how to get out of school. Yah, I know, all you kiddies play anyway, but I'm sure Bungie has to pretend you don't.

B - I can't believe that neither I nor anyone else has noticed this as of yet:And not to make light of things, but the only thing more important than democracy and freedom, is Shotgun CTF on Lockout. ... yah, name of another map: Lockout. Has this map been mentioned anywhere else previous?? And with the intimation that it's best played with shotguns it's probably another small map designed for close-quarters annihilation! Oh yah, baby!

OK, Just found a concept art sketch of Lockout, so it must have been mentioned somewhere before. Just too much info to keep track of whether I've seen it before or not. It looks sweet, and yes, shotguns on that type of map would rock!
