| Don't buy an operating system the minute it comes out. Thats just dumb. You need to give it time whilst everyone adjusts, everyone gets their drivers, etc.
I would wait a year before getting Vista, so the price of DirectX10 video cards will come down, DX10 becomes more popular and you can get a computer upgrade to run all the unnecessary bloat-ware that Vista offers. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Wow... thats the biggest reply to something that I have ever seen. I didn't say that you implied that I was a dumby. I said I was a dumby, because I am. =)
But please don't rant on and on. Don't make such a big fuss about it. =)
Yes, I have seen the footage, and it looks obviously pre-rendered, I did not argue that point. I just said that when you said that you can %99 of the time tell its CGI, you used the wrong term. Its Pre-rendered images and not CGI. And that not all CGI can be told if it is the real deal or not. But thats a small thing that we shouldn't make a big deal of.
And I just put the Wii note as a side-note. I did not imply you are stupid or anything. Take a break. =)
And don't bother with Pirates 2. It wasn't as great as the original. Johnny Depp still did a great job.
You should try that FS Editor's contest, I think you would do great in it. =) Or better yet, a judge.

| Well, for dumbies like me, you can use the CORRECT term of "Pre-Rendered" instead of CGI. And I didn't think your post was completely clear. But thats just me. And I am pretty certain my post was %100 relevant to YOUR post. I already posted about the article. Now I am REPLYING to your comment and focusing on what you said.
No need to make such a humongous big deal out of it.
My 5 euros,

| Actually, CGI is coming to a point where it is getting increasingly difficult to distinguish it from real life. I thought the CGI effects in movies like Pirates of the Caribbean II: Dead Man's Chest was very well made and it was hard to see (besides from common sense) what was real and what wasn't.
And all computer gaming visuals are computer generated images (CGI). Crysis is CGI. WoW is CGI. C&C Red Alert 2 is CGI (even if it isn't 3D).
And remember, as seen with the Wii, it isn't all about graphics. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Microsoft shouldn't worry or panic and continue Halo 3. Many competing companies may rush their product too soon in order to undermine their competition. Sometimes it may work out if the end result is good enough, but most of the time, it isn't. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Meh, I won't get Vista until I am compelled to do so by Microsoft dumping XP and making everyone migrate to Vista.
I tried it out at work and its nothing more but a pimped out Windows XP. But when DirectX10 comes out and I get enough money for an nVidia GeForce 8800gt(s/x) I'll get it. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Haha, Hilary Clinton and Obama should come together as a vice-president and president so this way we knock out two birds with one stone by not voting them. Or if they are voted, we get two milestones: the first black and female pres./vice-pres. Flag this | Edit this post |
