Well..I've had the Xbox original and 360 ever since they came out and was pleased. The original Xbox was the sh*t until the next gen consoles came around. I purchased the 360 about 18 months after it was released to make sure they fixed all the bugs like RRoD. Worked fine and was impressed...at first. After about 18 months of having 360 the games got old and there wasn't really much I could do with the console even LIVE was getting boring. I HATE Halo! It's extremely frustrating. Everybody steals everybody's kills even after you have spent 32+ rounds knocking down shields. Another reason I HATE Halo is that its almost exclusively played by 13 year olds with no sense of teamwork. Teamwork has always been good on Call of Duty 4/ WaW regardless of age. After looking all over Youtube and Playstation.com I became pretty interested in the Playstation 3. Spent about 40 hours researching and decided after a couple weeks of sh*tty pay at Subway to check the PS3 out at Gamestop. I asked a good deal of questions even the ones I knew the answers to just to make sure. I liked hearing that the system was built to last. (only about 5% death rate) Also found out that the PS3 is more efficient. It takes up less power, makes a lot less noise, and doesn't overheat easily. Plus everything was internal. No weird looking power boxes with tangling wires behind your console. The only thing that I didn't like hearing was the amount of space some games on the PS3 take up. The associate at Gamestop told me MGS4 would take up 8 GB...8 GB!!! I was then kind of skeptical about buying one and looked around at the games for it. In the beginning there was absolutely no games for PS3, at least not a reason to buy a PS3 when you have a 360. But after looking around I was interested. They had all the good games 360 has (besides exclusives..which suck anyways on 360. Gears of War 1 and 2 were the exact same) and a few that looked like decent rentals. After that I decided to try out the demo console. I realize the console was hooked up to an HDTV but I was impressed with the graphics on the games regardless. They were definitely better than the 360's (which was also on an HDTV) and the games looked more fun...less boring...less Xbox. Then I began looking at the system main menu (before you put in a game) and really liked it. It was designed like a computer, not a video game console. I was like "Yes!.. this will definitely take over in a years time" and went to the register and purchased 160 GB Playstion 3 "Uncharted" Bundle for $499.99 plus tax. The price was steep but with everything the PS3 has to offer, the best deal for Blu-Ray, a great system menu with plenty of customizable features, and a variety of different genre games, it's well worth it! I have sold my 360 (under the table for more $$$) and don't regret it at all. The PS3 will take over the "Console War"...its only a matter of time.

it means u need more parks

ENDLESS...

problem solved. just had to keep trying. thanks though

so ive downloaded Ubuntu and burned it onto a disc, installed it, rebooted, and Windows wont let me use Ubuntu. I chose to run Ubuntu with Windows. What i saw on youtube was when you restart your computer before Windows launches you can either choose Windows or Ubuntu. However that screen will not show and automatically boots Windows. this is very frustrating. anybody have any experience with Ubuntu installation or has had this problem and would like to help? Im all ears...or should i say eyes hahaha but seriously id like some help with this.

ScarcticCG: that is not my problem. i have all three citys connected through an avenue. They are all small size territories with a large connected ontop stretching to all of them. I have connected roads to the rich and middle class to the large territory. Very little has happend. Just a small commercail rich strip and maybe two manufacturing facitlites. Thats it. The demand is little to none in my large map. Im thinking i will have to drop taxes down a bit but im very against doing so.

When i started the region im currently playing i started with a poor town. It has 20,000 poor people stuck in project towers, dirty industry, and 3 oil plants. Next door to that city is all rich sims with a nice strip of commercail. Since i built a poor town first the rich were free to prosper in my other city which is powered by the poor city of Marlboro haha. Then the next city connected to the rich city was mostly middle class with a few poor unwanted sims lol. My middle class town had mostly manufacturing jobs while my rich city had high tech. With all my citys connected it was a good start. Now im having a hard time with demand for a larger map connected to all three of the citys at the same time... so im kind of stuck right now.

Power Rangers the movie -rofl-

Good work Doctor I did have to flip the switch on my surge protector for my PC a couple days ago.

i deleted a view plugins like i mentioned before but honestly i dont think that did the trick because after deleting i tried to reboot the game and it still froze. I decided to see if SC4 would work a few days after deleting plugins and it just started working again for no apparent reason.

well out of the blue, my SC4 decided to work again. i did nothing but turn on my pc and give it a shot and now it works. No idea why it kept crashing but whatever it works.

i will prolly have to. i cant figure any other way. topic end

so for some reason i go to play sc4 and it boots up as far as the EA logo and crashes. ive deleted plugins thinking that was the problem. boot up sc4 and again crashes at the EA logo. Any suggestions???

Reinstall or update at simcity.com. I put all my display settings on medium and shadows on low and the game runs pretty smooth.(year old computer 1.80 Ghz) Also click the bit box to a smaller scale. That might help. Other than that I have no idea

Yeah...I didn't know what I was doing. Messed around a little bit and got them working. Thanks though!!!
