    PS3 Slim Official $299 First week of September

    Exactly. If you need something that looks big and shiny, get the PS3 fat. If it has to fit in a little nook with other equipment, get the PS3 slim. PS3 fat vs PS3 slim is simply a matter of personal opinion and memory needs.

    8800GT -> 9800GT -> GTS 240

    The card will still run WoW nicely, so its not a problem throwing it in prebuilt OEM's (large, general public playing large, general public games). Its just annoying how Nvidia has to rebrand it like that.

    Win7 Upgrade question

    Point taken; they hardly even provide the recovery media. Anyways I'm glad I don't need to have physical CD's at the ready for this.

    Win7 Upgrade question

    Thats great news. I'm glad that they didn't decide to force you to buy a whole new standalone version of Windows 7 just to go from Vista 32-bit to W7-64.

    Pick one.

    The G71 is currently having the video card downclock whenever the temperature hits around 82 degrees C. This means that if you do not have the laptop over a cooler you'll see your fps drop down to 5-ish. Its been happening to all of them. A rep posted that they should have a BIOS update late...

    Debating on which computer...

    To answer your question about the P-7805u FX, another thread here is talking about a possible update for this laptop in late June: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1427758 As I mentioned in that one, I'm going to hold off and see what sort of laptops come out and what value they...

    Best Buy getting new laptops June 28

    YMMV, But I did spot them trying to sell off the rest of those Asus laptops in my BestBuy at a nice price of $809. I'm going to hold off until the end of the summer and wait to see if the future BestBuy laptops go on sale. I'm in the market for a gaming laptop less than $1,200 which I can...
