Halo 2 on Xbox and PC Windows Vista – Graphics Comparison
April 30, 2007
I found this interesting article at GameSpot that talks about the impending release of Halo 2 on Windows Vista and includes some examples of the upgraded graphics that you can expect from the PC version.
I mentioned that I was thinking of taking a look at Halo 2 when I was recently commenting on the Halo 3 multiplayer design. I was basically thinking of picking up Halo 2 for Xbox on the cheap and play it on my Xbox 360.
Now when you see the comparison between the Xbox and Windows Vista versions of this game, it does me you wonder whether I should just hold and wait until I’ve upgraded my PC to Vista, which I’m planning to do in the coming months.

April 29, 2007
You may have noticed the recent ‘U Comment, I Follow’ logo addition to the sidebar of the site, I decided to add this after reading about the ‘Do Follow’ plugin over at Brown Thoughts.
What it essential means is that anyone who makes a comment on one of my posts will get a permanent link back to their website (regardless of whether you get onto the Top Commentators list), this in turn helps their rankings on various systems, such as Google, Technorati etc.
I’ve had the ‘Do Follow’ installed since I started the Zath blog 2 months ago, but until now hadn’t thought to publicise the fact, so feel free to comment in future with the knowledge that you’ll be getting links back to your own site!
UPDATE: Due to issues of spam, I’ve now discontinued this policy regarding comment links which are now no-follow again.

April 28, 2007
The Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) console was expected to have a price drop at some point, everyone’s looking to buy a cheap PS3, but who would have thought you would be seeing the PS3 console dropping in price from the UK launch price of £425 to a cheap bargain starting price for Sony PS3 console bundles at around £300 just 6 months later!
One of the reasons I suspect for this will be the comparatively high cost of the Sony PS3 console since it’s launch in comparison to it’s Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii console rivals which are both outselling it. The reported sales of the PS3 console in the UK and how they fell since the launch week was something that was discussed here on the Zath Forums – I think it was because the launch price was anything but cheap!

PS3s may not be selling as well as expected, but many of those PS3’s sold have now joined in this project, GameDailyBiz have reported that
