Well, V-sync works regardless of your screen refresh rate. As was mentioned earlier, all it does is prevent the game's frame-rate from exceeding your screen refresh. MOST console games are already running at an optimum framerate since console hardware doesn't change in meaningful ways. IE: You might get a slim PS2 but the specs are still pretty well the same as those of an older PS2. V-Sync really helps PC users more since your computer's capabilities are different from mine and everyone elses. But since console and TV specifications are fairly well set for the time being, you won't have to worry about a 120hz or 240hz tv anytime soon as a requirement for gaming.

Well, having 4 PS3 consoles and 4 copies of a single game running on a single screen isn't likely to become a requirement. They were just showing off with that one. :)

No1 cause of screen tearing on consoles it that to optimise the FPS usually takes 6 months or more few games on console's get this so they compromise and disable vsync which causes horrible screen tearing on most games but more playable FPS.

Dead Rising on X360 is the best 360 game you can get still IMO. However, it has appalling screen tearing which ruins the cut scenes atmosphere & gameplay. It was ok until Fall 2006 MS dashboard update changed something and has never been fixed since. Only work around I found is that if you use a Component cable on your X360 the screen tearing goes away totally. VGA + HDMI is broken. Same with Resident Evil5 on X360 superb game but again unless you use a Component cable the screen tears regardless of resolution. Not every single HDTV exhibits these symptoms but a lot do.

MS should address this & developers should include a vsync option like the LEGO games have to let the gamer decide.

what is the best graphics card you would recommend for the best bluray playback on PC...under 200...... how about the Nvidia Geforce GTS250 1gb?

CAN someone please comment on this??? I wont be too worried about gaming on the PC but I want smooth HD playback....im guess this card would be good but im just not sure???

hmm well I am a bit restrained due to the fact my PSU is only about 300-350 so I need a card that only requires that much power.......and this is the cheapest one...runs for about $160......and yeah I am assuming if its good enoguh for high end games it should be good enough to play a huge video file......Im thinking the 1GB since I want to take some stress away from my CPU....not sure how it will turn out but ill keep you guys posted.....if anyone has a better suggestion please post....I think it is a little bit of over kill but it still might be in my best interest?
