PlayStation 3 320GB System with PlayStation Move Bundle

PlayStation 3 320GB System with PlayStation Move Bundle Review

I'm not going to comment on the quality of the PS3 Move controls or if it's better or worst than kinect or wii. I just really want to point out some things that you will need with this kit in order to maximize the PS3 Move experience.

INTERNET:
Internet Connection to the PS3 is required. WiFi LAN is highly recommended.
The PS3 itself comes with it's operating system on version 3.40 and in order to play PS3 Move, this needs to be upgraded at least to 3.41 or above. Currently available online version is 3.50.

In addition, the Sports Champion game needs to load an update.

So After opening the box prepare to be waiting for downloads depending on your internet speed.

USB Cables:
One extra Mini USB cable will be very helpful trying to charge controllers. The system comes with one cable already, but the PS3 has two USB ports already available. You could borrow this USB cable from digital camera or electronic device that connects via USB. You will use both ports in order to be able to charge your ps3 motion controllers.

NETFLIX:
Don't forget to order the PS3 Disk in order to be able to watch movies directly on your TV. If you've never been to netflix, you may want to take advantage of the current 1 month free trial (as of 9/26/10).

MOTION CONTROLLER
I'm going to put an Extra Motion Controller as REQUIRED. I strongly recommend ordering an extra motion controller at the same time as this bundle. The Sports Champion plays better with two controllers when doing games like archery, volley ball or gladiator. Having to motion controllers also gives you the ability to play matches with another player. Besides if you are going to order boxing or do some aerobics, the extra controller is going to be very handy. So having your two motion controllers will let you play two player games (one controller each player) or one player playing with both controllers.

HDMI Cable for HD TVs
If you don't have an HDMI cable, buy it. The system already comes with the typical PS AV cable, but resolution of the PS3 is best with the HDMI.


PS3 REMOTE CONTROL
Your PS3 is also a BluRay Player, but it does not include the remote control. You can use your DualSHock3 to control some of the functions, but in order to maximize experience, a remote will do. I strongly recommend ordering one of this with the console.

Highly recommended items you may end up buying in the long run and may be worth start shopping, but you don't have to have the first day you receive your bundle.
1) Triple Port Charging Station for PlayStation Move Controllers and Sixaxis Controller
1) PS3 Eye Camera Mounting Clip
1) PlayStation Move Navigation Controller

The 320 GB PlayStation 3 System

What's Under the Hood

As with previous models, the PlayStation 3 320 GB system features an IBM "Cell" processor and a co-developed NVIDIA graphics processor that together allow the system to perform two trillion calculations per second. Yet the 320 GB system manages to improve on this with its 45nm version of the processor, which although running at the same 60+nm speed as previous PS3 versions, uses less energy. This makes the unit's smaller size and quieter fan possible. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, the 320 GB system also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TVs and projectors. (The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience) This console also provides for an extreme sound experience by supporting Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, as well as Linear PCM 7.1. Finally, it features cross connectivity with your PC network and PlayStation Portable (PSP) and its pre-installed, 320 GB hard disc drive allows you to save games as well as download content from the Internet. Unlike some other models of PlayStation 3, the 320 GB system does not offer backwards compatibility to PlayStation 2 games.

Blu-ray, PlayStation Network Downloads and Beyond

PlayStation 3 utilizes the Blu-ray disc media format, which gives you the best high-definition viewing experience on your television, by way of the format's ability to hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs. This tremendous capacity, combined with the awesome power of the system's processor and graphics card, promises an endless stream of mind-blowing games, and other multimedia content. This doesn't mean though that the PS3 is limited to Blu-ray discs. It also supports CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. In addition, PlayStation 3 system software includes BD Live support that allows you to play discs that support Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0 (BD-LIVE), meaning you can also connect to the Internet while playing discs that support this format to obtain additional features. And of course PS3 owners also receive free access to the PlayStation Network (PSN), where through the PlayStation Store and PlayStation Home, they can download games, game demos, movies, and other content, as well as chat with friends, play mini-games, compete in tournaments and explore dedicated game spaces.

A Sensational Controller

The DualShock 3 wireless controller included in the PlayStation Move 320 GB console bundle provides the most intuitive game play experience, with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive Sixaxis motion sensing technology. Each hit, crash and explosion is more realistic when the user feels the rumble right in the palm of their hand. It can even detect natural movements for real-time and high precision interactive play, acting as a natural extension of the user's body. DualShock 3 utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless game play and the controller's detachable USB cable to seamlessly and automatically charge the controller when connected to the PlayStation 3. By integrating all of these features into the popular PlayStation controller design, the DualShock 3 further enhances the advanced gameplay experience only available on the PlayStation 3 system.

Synch with Your Other Sony HDMI Devices

The PlayStation 3 320 GB system features HDMI + Bravia Synch functionality. Bravia Synch allows connectivity between Sony HDMI products, without having to utilize multiple remote controls. This means that with the push of one button users can control compliant Sony devices connected to your PS3 via HDMI cable.

The PlayStation Move System

The PlayStation 3 Move console bundle includes the building blocks of the PlayStation Move motion-controlled gaming system, the Move motion controller and PlayStation Eye Camera. Equipped with a three axis gyroscope, a three axis accelerometer and terrestrial magnetic field sensor, during gameplay the PlayStation Move motion controller tracks the precise movements and the angle of the controller, while the PlayStation Eye camera, aimed at the player, allows the PS3 system to detect the absolute position of the controller in 3D space. Together this facilitates the highly sensitive movement tracking and intuitive gameplay that projects the user on-screen and provides realistic and responsive movement and actions in-game. The PlayStation Move motion controller also features the familiar PlayStation controller button orientation, for seamless play from the very first use.

Sports Champions

Sports Champions is an action-sports game for PlayStation 3 that combines the strengths of the PlayStation Move motion controller and the PlayStation Eye peripheral to provide gamers with true 1:1 motion controlled sports related gaming action. Designed with both casual and hard-core players in mind, Sports Champions features six events ranging from table tennis, to gladiatorial combat, and contains three varied gameplay modes and 10 playable characters to assume as the player and up to three friends battle for the glory of capturing the in-game Champions Cup.

Instrument Transformer

Image : http://www.flickr.com

The instrument transformer are special type of transformers these transformers are defined as the transformer intended to supply measuring instruments, meters, relay and other similar apparatus.

In the measuring large current in a do circuit current and voltage is measured by using low range ammeter with a suitable shunt. For measuring high voltage high resistance is used in parallel.

For AC circuit measurements specially for high voltage measuriment the simple instruments are not suitable as these are designed for low voltage. Also a high rating instrument are not suitable on the economic point of view.

The measurement of these quantities is done with special device known as instrument transformers. These transformers steps down current and voltage in definite proportion. This reduced quantity is measured with the help of low range ammeters and voltmeters and are then changed to actual value by knowing the transformation ratio of the transformer.

Advantages Of Instrument Transformers:

The following are the advantages of instrument transformers over the shunts and multipliers etc.

1. The readings of instrument transformers does not depends upon their constants such as resistance, capacitance and inductance etc.

2. The secondary winding of CT &VT shows a current and voltage respectively of such a low value which falls in the range of measuring instrument can be done easily.

3. With the use of instrument transformer the measuring circuit is isolated from power circuit.

4. With the standardization of CT & PT's secondary winding it is possible to standardize instrument around the rating and so it becomes easy for manufacture to have a great reduction in costs of instrument transformer.

Types of instrument transformer:

Two types of instrument transformer are there.

1. current transformer (CT)

2. pottential transformer (PT/VT)

CURRENT TRANSFORMER:

Current transformer is an instrument transformer in which the secondary current in normal conditions of use is substantially proportional to thee primary current and differs in phase from it by an angle which is approximately zero for an appropriate direction of connections. It should be noted that in case of CT and PT that if one stteped down the another will get stteped up.

All current transformers operate on the principal of ampere turn balance in a closed magnetic circuit. The CT consists of a primary winding of Np turns and secondary of Ns turns carrying current Ip and Is respectively. A component of the primary ampere turns is utilized in magnetising the core with the result that ampere turns available for transformation is the vector differ of primary and exciting ampere turns the exciting ampere turns give rise to error in CT.

CT CORES:

CT cores are of two types:

* LAMINATED CORE

* SPIRAL WOUND CORE

Laminated core:

The laminated cores are made from T, U, L, E and I stampings. The strips of such a shape are cut and arranged in a struck to form complete core cruciform core is not popular in case of CT's.

The laminated cores are convenient for making CT's of the type in which primaries are also wound.

Spiral wound core:

The CT's of high grade are having spiral wound core. The core is made by ring shapeings stacked in cylindrical form. The secondary winding is wound on the core. The conductor carrying the current acts like primary winding and is made passing through the hole.

The spiral wound cores may be of two different types one so to have a stack of ring shaped stamping and another is to use stamping of spiral form. The cores of such a type are called torodial cores. These cores are most popular these days because it ensures that the flux path is always along the grains of grain oriented material and so minimum reluctance is there.

Core Material:

The requirements of core material for CT's are

1. Low reluctance

2. Low core loss

3. Highly permeable

4. Small retentively

5. Easy availability

6. Low cost

The high permeability nickel iron cores are used for high precision CT's.

The materials used for making CT cores are.

1. Mumetal (70% Ni)

2. Permandur (50% Co, 50% Fe)

3. Hipernik (50% Ni, 50% Fe)

All the materials have their own advantages and disadvantages. The material is chosen on the basic of the requirement of CT's.

TYPE OF CT:

Irrespective of the types of CT due to core material some more types of CT's are popular on the basic of their use and winding.

1. CT Wound Type:

It is type of CT in which the primary winding of more than one full turns wound on the core. The wound types CT's are used for measuring current in a circuit of high voltage where a very precise measurement is not essential.

2. CT Bar Type:

It is CT in which the primary winding consists of a bar of suitable size and material forming an integral part of the CT. the current line on which we have to measure current is connected to the bar. This type of CT is suitable to measure high currents.

3. CT Liquid Immersed:

Ordinary CT'S are of dry type they do not require and oil or cooling medium other than natural air for its operation.

But a special class of C's has been developed which require use of oil or other suitable liquid of suitable characteristics as insulating and closing medium.
These types of CT's are used in switchyards and substations for the purpose of measurement and for connecting relays etc. for protection of the device.

4. Hermetically sealed CT:

It is a liquid immersed CT which is sealed and does not communicate with atmospheric air. A casing of suitable material is made which does not allowed the air to be in touch with CT.

5. Ring type CT:

It is type of CT which has an opening in the center to accommodate a primary conductor through it. In these types of CT's the core is wound only for secondary winding. The conductor passing through CT itself acts as primary winding. These are the most popular type of CT's. Because of their easy availability and ready to use property.

6. Multicore CT:

It is CT having more than one secondary core and winding with a common primary winding.

The different cores of such a CT are used to connect different relays and protective devises with it. Such as one core is used for measuring current other is connected with differential protection relay.

7. Multi Ratio CT:

It is type of CT in which more than one ratio is obtainable by reconnection, tappings etc. in primary or secondary winding. This is the advantage of this type of CT on others. It can be used for measuring a wide range of currents according to the measuring conditions. Ordinary CT's are manufactories to measure a particular value of current and for a higher value of current they are not suitable. But the multi ratio CT's can be used for measuring a long rang of current by changing the turn's ratio.

Golfing Tips To Help Those Just Beginning The Game Of Golf

Learning how to play the game of golf can be harder then you may actually think. Instead of playing the new Nintendo Wii why don't you try and actually play it in real life. It is harder then you think when you are standing there trying to swing and actually hit the ball for a distance. When you are playing the game of golf you need to be flexible and in shape or you is not going to do well playing the sport. So when you decide to stop playing the Wii and get off the video games you just go buy yourself a pair of golf shoes and a set of clubs and start trying to play. Unless you have already played you are not going to be able to play because you have to know how to swing properly and actually be flexible enough to where you can step up swing real quick and then let someone else swing and keep playing. You have to know how to play the sport before you can actually start to play the game of golf. Like I said it is harder then you may think when you are playing on a video game.

The biggest problems that people have when first starting to play the game of golf, is that they look up when they are trying to swing and hit the ball. Most people will do this because they are not used to holding a club and then looking then swinging and hitting a ball and expecting it to go a couple of hundred yards. You cannot expect this from a beginner you have to teach them to not look down when they swing and play the game of golf because then they will always have to look down when they swing and that is not a good habit when you are starting out as a beginner playing the game of golf. You will want to keep your head up and your stance firm so that when you swing you actually connect with the ball and you hit it and it goes far.

The other common problem that beginners tend to have trouble with is putting. To some it may come with ease but with others it is very hard because they are trying to hit it so very easy and trying to make it go for a long distance. Some get really frustrated and quit playing because of this little part in golf but if you can master putting then you can play the game of golf. If you are having trouble with putting then you should watch pros on TV when they are putting watch how they perfect their putts and watch how they made their putts. You will be amazed at how far some of the putts can be and how up hill and sideways some of the shots they take are. The game of golf can get intense and can be hard at some times.

How PlayStation 3 Has Become A Giant In The Industry

Image : http://www.flickr.com

The launch of the high demand PlayStation 3 in U.S. markets began in late 2004, but the actual product release hit retail shelves on November 11, 2006. Millions of PlayStation fans from around the country counted down the days to the launch date, armed with their pre-registration cards and other proof that showing they were in the running for the highly prized console.

The PlayStation 3 has quickly gained media and public recognition with its promotions and heavy marketing campaigns within the video game market. Sony has captured their fans and customer base through a series of quality products and games, and continues to do so with the PlayStation 3. The PlayStation 3 is preceded by the PlayStation and PlayStation 2, and is in direct competition with Microsoft's Xbox 2 and Nintendo Wii at this time.

Still, it continues to be a giant in the industry for a variety of reasons. After just two weeks of the market launch, the prices online almost doubled to quickly become one of the most highly-coveted items of the year. This in itself shows promise of a strong market leader because of the consumer-driven demand.

Marketing the PlayStation 3 to different markets in creative ways was a successful strategy for Sony. Launching the console with a pre-ordering option allowed the PlayStation 3 to quickly dominate the competitive market. Millions of Sony fans already anticipated a popular product, and only a few thousand were manufactured which in turn increased its value and overall appeal. Local and national promotions, giveaways, contests, and partnering with strategic business partners were all successful tactics in increasing customer interest and continue growing its fan base.

PlayStation 3 offers unique games and a highly attractive console design. It appeals to a large market and households, and offers unique features that include wireless internet access and controllers, the ability to network with friends online, and being able to watch movies, videos, and listen to music conveniently in one place. It is compatible with other consoles, and is easily portable.

The console has become a giant in the industry because of its large customer and fan base, hat was also ready and able to pre-order the console itself well ahead of the public launch. Customer-driven sales of any product are the most profitable, and Sony was able to carry this out effectively with its marketing campaign and customer approach. The company launched a popular product in a "hungry" market, and quickly gained market share because of an effective sales and marketing strategy.

MW2 Killstreaks

Image : http://www.flickr.com

MW2 Killstreaks are the best add on from Call Of Duty:Modern Warfare. You gain killstreaks by getting a certain number of kills in a row without dying. There are many different types of killstreaks and their all available to view at the menu in MW2 multiplayer.

At first you start out with UAV and Care Pakage and as you go up levels you will unlock your choice of killstreaks. With the care package what ever you get unfortunately wont count towards your streak but will of course give you XP. Care package's carry everything from ammo to supposedly the Nuke. I've only heard you can get the Nuke in a care package I've actually never seen it and if does in fact come in a care package its very rare. The Nuke is normally obtained by getting 25 kills in a row without dying. It takes out everyone, even your team and you can get it in any game mode, but it has to be selected in the killstreaks section in order to get it. It is the best MW2 Killstreak.

At the start with your first unlock I suggest Predator Missle or Sentry Gun. Reason being the both require 5 kills and you will be gradually be working your way up. With Predator your likely to get 1 or 2 kills but this can be fired from a nice safe area. You wont be able to see people with cold blooded equipped and can be shot down but it's very hard. The Sentry Gun however could get you a lot more kills if placed in the right high traffic area but leaves you vulnerable to getting killed when placing it and leaving the enemy to easily destroy your Sentry Gun. Sentry gun's can be temporarily disabled with stun grenade or flash grenade. They can be destroyed with grenades, launchers, shooting it a lot of times or can easily be knifed. If coldblooded is equipped the Sentry wont be able to see you and they cant see through smoke.

After a while when you have got better at aiming and get more kills without dying select Harrier or Attack Helicopter, both reqire 7 killstreak. The Harrier drops a load of bombs on the selected area then hovers and kills anyone in its view, who doesn't have coldblooded equipped. The Attack helicopter is pretty good because it flies around the whole map also killing anyone without cold blooded. The Harrier is easier to shoot down than the Attack Helicopter. They will both go towards your next killstreak.

Next at 9 kills is the Pave Low. This is a heavy duty version of the Attack Helicopter and there's a better chance of getting more kills. This is a personal favorite at the moment. At 11 kills are the Chopper Gunner or AC-130 both very lethal, especially the Chopper Gunner. They are very hard to shoot down because they let out flares andthey can be the decider for any game making it the second best MW2 killstreak behind the nuke.

Free Notes - 'To the Indian Who Died in Africa' by TS Eliot

Image : http://www.flickr.com

The 20th century witnessed few greater poets than T.S. Eliot who exercised more influence on formation of the modern style of writing poetry for more than forty years. Not only was his style distinct but he also used conversational speech laden with complex poetic images with layers of diverse thoughts to portray various aspects of life. The poet was fond of allusions and he very effectively used them to convey a wealth of meaning through just a few lines. This individuality of Eliot is perhaps best expressed in his magnum opus -'The Waste Land.' The canon of Karma and detachment as propagated in the Hindu philosophy was not unknown to Eliot and the present poem highlights these principles.

Themes That man should pursue his actions with a spirit of detachment is the main theme of this somber poem. Exactly such a theme has been enunciated in the Bhagavad-Gita by which the poet seems to be substantially inspired. The Bhagavad-Gita advises to renounce longings for worldly possessions such as riches, fame, family, property and the likes. That is why the poet says that every country is home to one man and exile to other. If a man is conscientiously performing his duty in another country, irrespective of the country of his birth becomes his native land. Therefore, a 'foreign' or 'native' land is but only a relative term in the sense that one has to remain detached from his native land when one has to answer the call of duty. The Indian soldier and his comrades-in-arms including his British allies in the poem are good examples of such persons performing their duty in the alien land, Africa. Some of them are not fated to reach their own country but would die in another man's land. Nevertheless, the land on which they sacrifice their lives for a great and common cause, gets to be their home while the land that was their home now ceases to be the same. Their great action would bring its own reward though they would not know of it 'until the judgement after death.'

Another salient theme of the poem is the doctrine of Karma. Through the selfless action of the Indian soldier and his likes in Africa, the philosophy of the Bhagavad-Gita is echoed that - "To action alone has thou a right and never at all to its fruits; let not the fruits of actions be thy motive; neither let there be in thee any attachment to inaction". T.S. Eliot says in the last line of the third stanza that wherever he dies bravely that soil is his. It occurs to the poet that the soldiers of different countries fighting for a common objective may not know the outcome of their strivings. Nevertheless, this possibility does not diminish the worth of their sacrifice. They become immortal as they are glorified in the memory of their people through their sublime act. The judgement after death shows the poet's preoccupation with the Christian doctrine 'of the last judgement' as mentioned in the Old Testament.

Use the pinpoint accuracy and motion tracking of the PlayStation Move to dodge attacks and take out the bad guys. From robots to outlaws, no villain on the set is safe. Bring a friend along for the ride to turn this shoot into a buddy flick. With five locations to shoot and unlimited bullets, you can bet this is going to be fun. It’ll take precise aim, mighty power moves, and a whole lot of bravado to pull this off, but that’s exactly why you’re playing.

The Shoot Specifications

The Shoot is a first-person oriented shooter game for PlayStation 3 that uses the PlayStation Move motion controller and the PlayStation Eye peripheral* to create a unique motion-controlled arcade gaming experience. Set amidst a movie-themed game setting, players use a single PlayStation Move motion controller to target appropriately movie-themed enemies and to interact with the gameworld, while the PlayStation Eye camera monitors their location for enemies bent on returning fire of their own. Additional features include two-player support, 480p and 720p HD video support and more. Unload on movie themed enemies in the motion controlled, arcade action of The Shoot. View larger. Gameplay The Shoot is an over-the-top, first-person oriented arcade shooter that allows players to inflict mass destruction on the various sets of an action movie that they are also participating in. Gameplay features players shooting it out against themed enemies across these various movie scenes, using a single PlayStation Move motion controller which acts as your weapon and the PlayStation Eye camera peripheral serving as a means to track your position in relation to the sets you face. Actions possible with the Move motion controller include shooting, punching, dodging and special moves to take out enemies, but players need to remember that the movie scenes before them may also contain innocent characters. Avoid these bystanders, or you'll lose movie "takes," which serve as lives in-game. In marking your position, the PlayStation Eye also relates to enemies where you are, so players can expect return fire as well. The game's highly destructible environments also allow for maximum damage during drawn out firefights, eventually leaving nowhere to hide.

God of War III: Ultimate Edition

God of War III: Ultimate Edition Review

Every God of War game that has been released since the first in 2005 has been incredible. Amazingly enough, they even got the mobile game right! And despite this being the final core chapter of Kratos' quest to murder the gods and take down Olympus brick by brick, there are still more games to come. So how does this one stack up versus the rest of them?

Every person is going to have their own opinions as to which is the best game but in my eyes this is the best. You can pick it up, having known nothing of the earlier games, and still get the full experience. There is even a slight nod to Chains of Olympus and because of the nature of this nod, I would strongly recommend picking that game up first if you intend to play it. That said, though, it still can be picked up by almost anyone and the player can be sucked in. The back story is explained as you go and many things that happened in the earlier games come back and deeply affect the story of this game.

Many have, and will, cry out about how this game doesn't bring anything new to the table. At it's core, no it doesn't, but it not only refines it for a faster, smoother, and much more well-rounded playthrough. Sure three out of the four weapons are nearly the same, but they're different enough that you can still use them in different scenarios to better (or worse) effect. And even beyond that, the gameplay of the other games was darn near perfect and people knew it. Why else would you be seeing so many clones starting to pop up on the market? So with that in mind, why try fixing what isn't already broken? The gameplay is smoother, even in situations that take up a lot of performance power and the weapon/magic upgrades are a lot faster. No more sitting bored to tears while waiting for your meter to fill.

And speaking of areas that take up a lot of power: this is not a game that should be viewed on a standard TV. You will miss so much in doing so it would be almost criminal not to play it on an HDTV. Right off the bat you begin by climbing Mount Olympus and are engaged in battle with Poseidon and his Leviathan beast. Your jaw may just about fall out when you witness this fight, I know mine wanted to. The sheer level of detail and depth in this game is staggering and will leave you awestruck and breathless. If you enjoyed the brutal methods of killing in the previous games, just wait until you see this one. This is not a game for kids, at all, but the greater amount of horsepower in this system has given rise to probably some of the most visceral displays of violence in modern media. Yes the fight with Poseidon is amazing to watch, but you'll likely be wide-eyed thinking "I can't believe he's doing that" when you, yes you, are killing him.

All in all, the game, though short, is a truly incredible gaming experience and definitely comes as essential for all mature gamers. The amount of trophies and little extras make the game well worth revisiting.

But how does the Ultimate Edition compare to the standard? Well, first there's the price difference. You get the following:

- The God of War III game
- A special alternate costume for once you beat the game
- A special documentary about the making of the game (standard and high definition)
- The God of War Blood and Metal EP (a value on iTunes or Amazon MP3)
- The God of War Trilogy Soundtrack
- A special unlockable arena
- Art Book
- Pandora's Box Replica

Is it worth the more? (Yes I realize it's more now that it's a collector's item of sorts) To me it was, as I like the Pandora's Box replica, the art book, and the soundtracks, and I will likely watch the documentary and get lots more play time out of the game with the alternate costume and arena. Some won't get the same experience as me, a future art major, from the art book, or the soundtrack because, let's face it, how many people regularly listen to movie scores? .00001% of the American populous? Sounds about right. If you don't listen to those, chances are you won't listen to this regularly. I don't, but I do enjoy listening to it from time to time and likely will even more come school, as I do enjoy listening to scored music when doing schoolwork.

Thus, it works for me, but even then, the box itself is rather empty. You open Pandora's Box and there's just a little art book (it's smaller than you might think and only has a small fraction of the concept art pieces in it) and the game under the secret board thing. The space under here can also fit the God of War Collection, seeing as it's also the same model Pandora's Box as the one included in the Trilogy edition internationally. The rest of the bonuses are included as codes in a little booklet of scratch-offs inside the game case.

When all's said and done, though, whether you chose to get the standard version, you're still getting one of the most breathtaking experiences in modern gaming. This is, to me, at least, one of the greatest games I have ever had the pleasure of playing. If you are mature enough to handle the extreme levels of first person violence and hands-on sex in this game, then you're in for one hell of a wild ride.

EA SPORTS: MMA Specifications

You walk into the cage and the floor pulses with the energy of the arena. Sweat drips down your brow as you step out to the center. The bell rings and the match begins. While sizing up your opponent, you find the weakness you've been searching for. A hook comes from your left and you dodge at the last possible moment. You feel a breeze as his fist barely misses your nose, and you counter with a devastating right uppercut — striking him squarely in the jaw. His head jerks back in a violent motion, spraying sweat into the air before he falls backward to the mat. While you prepare to make your opponent submit, the referee calls it a knockout and the crowd erupts. This is the world of mixed martial arts — are you ready to fight?
