a bit off-topic, but for those of you gaming geeks anxiously awaiting november 9, investing in a shiny new widescreen rptv (lcd, dlp, and lcos of course, to avoid burn-in) just for this event, a bit of good news...
apparently halo 2's multiplayer will permit a vertical split of the screen for two players for maximum screen real estate on a widescreen display.
