HDMI cables are all the same, the diference is really the brand. Sony HDMI cables are much more expensive than an HDMI of an unknown brand. Monster brand HDMI cables are just more resistant and there might me some extremely minor changes in the image such as the colour but it is almost unnoticable.

It seems some people prefer online, others prefer offline and some like both. But overall, almost everyone has already played online at some point. And like some of you have said, a lot of online games out there don't have co-op multiplayer. Call of Duty 5 is a game I recall that will have co-op multiplayer online and I really like the sound of that.

Yeah, there are been some problems lately because of the Gene Expansion pack but hopefully these will be solved in the next days. I have already seen a lot of people the new maps but the rooms are usually full all the time.

I'm also just into MGO at the moment. The game is really addictive!!

Online has become an even greater part of todays video-games. Most games now come with multiplayer mode, and most of these allow us to play over the internet. We can now fight with or against anyone, anywhere in the world. Single-player is still the base of video-games but I think that in the near future, this may change. There are already a lot of Multiplayer-Online only games out there such as WarHawk and with many more to come like M.A.G..
So, the real question is: How much do you play online?

I personally prefer the online over the single-player in most games. Online is usually more intense because nothing can be more real than playing against other real humans. Another advantage of online is that it doesn't end. While the single-player will eventually end, the online will always be there. But not everything is fancy about playing online. One of the major downsides of online play is that there usually isn't any storyline or plot to follow. You just pick or create a character and you are trown into battle and some people may find this silly or simply stupid. Some games have tried to fix this, like Resident Evil online, where the players had to follow a certain path but it didn't seem to work very well.

Aside from all this, online play keeps on growing. I myself play more online than single-player. I mix it in between single and online play but after the single-player is beat and everything is unlocked, I move over full time to online and just play it until I get bored of it or another new game is released. I hope that online will keep on growing because I really enjoy playing it and there is nothing more cool than going online to kick some ass.
