EDIT: At people disagreeing, why do you click on a topic that you have no interest in just to disagree with people ?

Thats because some people on this site are just sad. I lost 3 bubbles because is said the PS3 couldn't output TrueHD or DTS HD as bitstream, or even DTS HD in any form, therefore a stand-alone is better. That didn't sit well with some people :-P. Gears of War 2 is big news and some people want to try and downplay it!

Haha, that is fantastic. The 4 disagrees just proved my point. The Truth? Some people can't handle the truth! If they disagree and keep telling themselves that something isn't true then maybe it might come true :-P

Yeah, "next November" doesn't mean "this November". I think it's probably a translation issue, or just a poor choice of words.

Jason 360, Games for Windows doesn't help MS. MS alredy owns the PC OS market, they're trying to win the console market. How does game for windows help MS, with the millions of people who bought XP 8 years ago? And I use the word "Buy" loosely here. Very loosely.

It will have the same exact unreal engine as UTIII and it might have a tiny upgrade here or there on the engine, but pretty much the same game as UTIII in the end.

this is nothing new, I mean look at games4fun, flaiming "Too Human" for no reason, this is about Gears Of War 2, afterall.

I even got a disagree for being sarcastic...

we know too well, who is trolling these articles..

Ya know if you don't own a console, and your opinion is always negative on a competitors article, then your just trolling as usual. Nothing new tho
