HDMI cable arrives :) Gears of War new map pack now available.


Finally after the waiting, my HDMI cable has arrived today and as can be seen by my setup pictures I'm sure you can imagine how much of pain it was to get it connected to my TV (click here for setup pictures). First off I had to remove the top of my desk and then remove the TV's speakers just so I could get to the underside of the TV, needless to say once that was out of the way it was pretty straight forward. Anyway, these pictures were taken yesterday afternoon as I was in the mood for snapping some pics at the time, so the PS3 image on the TV is in low resolution 576i using the composite cable. However, I now have it setup to 1080p over HDMI and it looks drop dead gorgeous. I will hopefully find some time tonight to start the singleplayer campaign on Resistance: Fall of Man and maybe get some Motorstorm in if I'm lucky.


Though anyone that knows me will know that I can barely keep off Gears of War, I thought I would stop playing it once I got the last achievement in the game (Seriously .. 10, 000 ranked kills), but as of late I seem to be enjoying the game more because I don't have to try and take it so seriously all the time - no pun intended. Though I'm sure any Gears of War fan will have heard about the new Multiplayer Map Pack entitled Hidden Fronts, this new map pack includes 4 new maps and is available to download now from the Xbox Live marketplace for 800 MS points - keep in mind though that this new pack will be made available to download for free on September 3rd.
