    One year later - RB2 vs GH:WT - hardware, DLC, compatibility for Wii

    Just an update - went ahead and kept RB2 for the Wii. Not thrilled with the quality of the guitar, but the drums are improved from the first version of RB, IMO. Downloaded a mess of songs from the DLC. I haven't decided if I like the non-linear tour mode. I liked the RB1 tour path because it...

    One year later - RB2 vs GH:WT - hardware, DLC, compatibility for Wii

    Thanks for the feedback. My mistake on the batteries - what I meant to write was 3xAA, but somehow that translated to AAA. :p I've heard that the RB2 peripherals are better - my major concern was the batteries. Anyone else who has experience with the Wii platform, specifically, I'd...

    One year later - RB2 vs GH:WT - hardware, DLC, compatibility for Wii

    So, I performed the requisite search of this forum, plus did a lot of GIYF. Most of the information I found is at least a year old. This implies two things: 1. I am very late to the party 2. Much of that information may be outdated Long story short, I recently purchased a Wii - my son is...

    Oil immersion PC - Reactor by Hardcore Computer

    You assume that financial investors know everything about the business. :) 95% of the information they get about the investment is from the people who want their money, in most cases. All they see is a cool idea, though expensive, and the capacity of the buying public to get on board in...

    Prebuilt computer recommendations

    How have things gone so terribly wrong when people think Dell has good support? Of the Tier I's, if that's what you want, Gateway has the best. If support is a major concern, though, you will REALLY want to look at a boutique builder. If you're just looking for a cheap machine, I'd take...

    Prebuilt computer recommendations

    For my money, you can't go wrong with Maingear. However, you also might want to check out SolidWave. They're a new company that's really looking good. Great model, really good value. Chris Morley is involved with it, and not many people in the landscape know integration better than him...

    Oil immersion PC - Reactor by Hardcore Computer

    Interesting idea - cool design. A few problems, which are going to catch up to them. First, their engineering costs are astronomical. This also perhaps limits them in their potential expansion/adaptation to landscape changes. For example - they currently have no i7 options. And because...

    Will be acquiring Garmin Nuvi 255W GPS, thoughts?

    I have a Garmin GPS - bought it after standing in Fry's and BB for a few hours each playing with the different brands. Garmin had the best interface and was the most responsive. Plus you can have it talk to you in an Australian female voice. ;) To answer your questions, 1. The unit will...

    Puget Custom Computers – From start to finish

    Unless Puget has changed their back-end, there will be a full list of their benchmark and stability tests with their results sent to you in their user's manual. I believe the results are also available on their Web interface, which (if it hasn't been pulled back) is still the best, most...

    Warm? LG 6x BDR at Circuit City $199.99

    Only a couple - there's one in Cedar Park. Been by there twice over the last few weeks - most of the good stuff is gone for the most part. The redshirts wouldn't really disclose when the store is actually closing, and if they're getting more inventory of some items.

    Republic of Gamers Convention Summer 2008 Dallas, Texas August 8th to 10th

    I think this sounds great. QCon has become "teh lamesauce" as of late, whereas it used to be a very worthwhile road trip. Looking forward to something a bit more gamer-ified instead of commercialized. A lot of people are excited about the [H] workshop as well, which is awesome. That was...

    inexpensive GPS suggestions

    Yes, Garmin is very good about that. You install a bit of software and update your maps from your PC, but it's all a USB connection. The power cable in your car connects to the included window mount. If I recall, there are only two wires that come with your unit. And no, there are no monthly...

    New [H] exclusive PC - from Velocity!

    90-day warranty? Yuck. I would think the warranty would be the only reason people would jump on this. Add my name to the list of folks not blown away by the price point as well. The 2GB -> 4GB RAM upgrade is pretty nice at $50, though. I'll also agree with the sentiment that a "barebones"...

    My new AVA..about to order

    Indeed, but it was pretty obvious what they were doing. Last, gasping, desperate attempt of the company to make a final few dollars before selling off their office equipment and calling it quits. I won't deny that there is plenty of room for companies to falsify RR posts. I wouldn't put it...

    AVA review after a year and a half nightmare

    I think it's amazing that this thread has been sustained for 6 pages with essentially the same four people posting. There was never this much drama here... Seriously, CEOs and reps getting banned, publication of email exchanges, readers accusing each other of being shills/reps/or worse for...

    My new AVA..about to order

    I wouldn't say that RR means nothing, despite what integrators say. I would say that 5 reviews isn't necessarily a good sampling, but 500 would be a better indicator. I'm not sure why you think that AVA sells more systems than other boutiques, but that is incorrect. Even if it was accurate...

    Oh no, AVA Direct problem.
