As far as I know there is no large database of all the recent domain searches done on all registrars. If you do a search on Doster for a domain name, only Dotster knows that you did it. The same goes (again, as far as I know) for all registrars. This being said, Network Solutions is blocking...

http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1135832 Vindication! I knew it didn't make sense to offer that pathetic warranty, and it looks like MS agrees :)

Amen. Now that is something I can sink my teeth into. Retailers make HUGE profits of these warrantys. I wonder if thats what is going on. Although I'm not sure MS would sacrifice its own profits to fill other retails coffers.

TVs, DVD players, appliances, and almost all PC components usually have at least a year warranty. Dell notebooks are 1 year (just checked), as are most of their PCs (with $350 PCs getting the 90 day). Although short warrantys are allowed in the US, I haven't seen tons of accessories like...

Hummm.... I like what you're saying but I can't believe I missed that much information when I played. I'm getting to that part right now (replaying it in Insane) and will listen very closely to see what they say. For some reason I don't remember a single word being uttered about the mansion...

It possible there is a very large customer base that looks at the warranty as a factor in their decision to buy a 360. Even if someone doesn't really pay attention to the warranty but listens to the news, it could easily become a big issue if CNN played a blurb that said "360 goes against...

That seems like a good deal. Still, 5% a year is, percentage wise, a decent amount. If it is so inexpensive though, why not just include it and gain the benefit of consumer confidence?

I'm admittedly a xbox fan. I've had the original xbox for 5 years or so and bought a 360 about a month ago. Hell, I own MS stock. I'm trying to figure out why the warranty on a 360 is only 90 days. I've had zero problems with either the xbox or the 360. As a matter of fact I think MS...

I remember the data being incomplete and they needed time to analyze it. I guess it was originally intended as a chance to take a break from the bomb planting plot line to get some back story on Fenix and his father. I say this because we are sent to Fenix's house because of a "disturbance", not...

MORE SPOILERS (KINDA) It was parts like these that made me feel that they had punched holes on purpose. Do you remember that Beird (sp?) found what looked like the head of a mining robot right after we learn the resonator didn't work? They made it seem as though that device had all the...

Actually I will have to disagreee on this. From what I remember, Halo tells you how you got to the where you are, who you are, and explains that no one has any idea what the hell you are on. As you progress throught the game you learn where you are, how and why you got there, and the bigger...

As I mentioned in my first post, I completely agree with you, the mode of storytelling is great. What I'm bitching about is the fact that nothing is being told! I can understand as a soldier not knowing all the facts outside the mission. Wwhat I can't understand is why I wouldn't know who my...

That is the kind of validation I was looking for :). I didn't see a single review mention this obviously glaring hole (at least to me.. an admitted plot fanatic) in the game and thought I was alone. Probably because they don't have time to review the game start-finish. The only thing better that...

Maybe. I'll try it when I get home.

I'll check it out when I get home. As far as the website, it appears all flash and not a lot of info. Probably need sound to figure out what's going on. I wonder what happened during game design. Did they focus on the game play and at the end just realize that they included zero plot elements?
