Gotta love it when a church goes after video game profits. This should sell a few more ps3s to the Brits...lol.

    Chopstik, quit mucking up our forum with your for sale posts. People around here generally don't want to buy from someone that jacks up their post count just to sell their stuff...especially all this crap over and over:

    Hey PT, I'm working through resistance now and I've got to say they did a really nice job on the settings. I can see why the church of england was upset, but in the game the church is set up as a field hospital and everything you kill doesn't look remotely human...but you do kill quite a lot of things...

    Compared to GOW, I like the stylized graphics and overall creepiness of GOW better, but I'm liking the gameplay of resistance a lot more. In GOW, you basically go down a set path and pop and shoot your way past all the bad guys. In resistance, the street fighting is much more open allowing you to flank chimera that are shooting at your guys and otherwise use tactics instead of just sustained fire. Also, I think I'm up to like six available weapons and three available handgranades now including a rifle that shoots through walls and a ricochet gun. I'm switching weapons all the time to take advantage of them on different terrain and enemies. The best surprise of the game, though, has to be the job they did with the surround sound. The sound of movement around you is so precise that you can use it to hunt enemies and ambush them. I had a moment yesterday when I forgot I had air-burst granades readied. I got spooked by a sound and saw a huge wave of chimera pouring onto the platform I was on. I popped off three granades and before I knew what was going on I'd napalmed the whole room...

    Too bad the ps3 games at this level seem to be delayed so long. Can't wait to play more like this...

    Nope. And most other members won't want to buy them either. You lost a lot of potential interest and goodwill by gearing your first posts to selling your stuff. Most people here expect a member to contribute before posting one-liners for an hour and going for people's cash. If you want to sell stuff to other members here in the future, I'm just giving you some good advice, hang around and contribute first...

    thank you, genius...i'm not newb to forums....unfortunately, i don't spend that much time on this one so i had to boost up my count to sell these speakers which i'm sure everyone else noticed already....and for the record, these speakers are in brand new condition and for the price i'm selling it for, you won't find a better deal around....but if pretending to be the forum police makes you feel better at the end of the day, by all means continue your duty, sir...as you can see i was only toying with you the first few replies i had just to get a good rise out of you and i'm sure i did....have a nice day...you sure you do'nt want these speakers??:p

    i didn't get one piece of helpful information from any of your posts unless you think lecturing me about posting is helpful advice.....i'm not trying to screw anyone here...i've been a member here longer than any of you 2 guys, i just happened to stop posting once i decided on some speakers........who knew you needed 25 posts to sell things here?? i just decided to run up my count to help you guys get a good deal....i don't like dealing with ebay since i don't feel like paying their fees and nonsense to sell an item, but i will if it comes down to it...if you wanna act like you're some hot **** on this forum go right ahead, you'll just ruin it for someone that's actually looking to buy these from me.....again, i'm not trying to screw anyone here, just looking to sell these speakers to a bunch of guys that might appreciate them since everyone on the forums i visit feel like they need to put the more expensive brands like focal, seas, diamond, etc. in their cars even if they don't sound as good.....

    thanks for acting like the bigger ****, cheddar
