This makes me a lot more interested in the PS3 than I was. the neutered version will pretty much be on the lvl with the high end Xbox 360. I would be willing to spend $430 for something similar to 360 but with BD. Wouldn't be worth it to me till more games start rolling out for it and that...

It's for consoles that were manufactured in 2005, not necessarily purchased. Wish my 360 would've lasted me a little longer so I didn't have to hit up the Best Buy replacement plan I had on it. It definitely makes sense to me though that they are doing this. I imagine more and more consoles...

Yeah I was just wondering if there was anything solid out about them thinking of making a sequel soon. Maybe after viva piniata

Killer Instinct was on that list under xbox 360 exclusives!?!?!?!? any one heard about that?

Can't remember what it's called but the game that probably pissed me off the most was the action kind of side scrolling game in Tekken 3 on the PS1. I just always got my ass handed to me so one time I put my elbow into the wall out of anger. That's the only time i've ever broken anything...

it died. still lockeded up after a while. I just went and replaced it at Best Buy. One of the reasons I picked up the replacement plan however is I figured that if there was a new version of the console released or one with a better package normally you can use the replacement plan and get...

Well I played around a little with it this morning. I moved it from where it was sitting and it seems to have started working again. Not because of heat but it seems it's more of because of the power cable not being as cramped through one area. It was definitely not an over heating issue...

I have the replacement plan from Best Buy. It would just suck having to use it already because right now it's in the one time replacement deal. Meaning I will have to buy a new replacement plan which is like 50 bucks I think. I may give the MS help line a call for the hell of it to see what...

Well a few days of consistent lock ups have finally convinced me my 360 is finished. I've had a few lock ups before but the past few days it's been bad. It's a launch system so I'm thinking I'm just one of the unlucky ones. I've been pretty easy on the system too. Only thing is with the lock...

I may be completely wrong on this so definitely correct me on it if so. I remember reading one time in an article that was talking to some attorny I believe on the legallity of roms/emulators etc. One of the things mentioned was that there was a possibility to play old games and obtain them if...

I used to work as a tech at best buy for a short time. I don't think best buy would have a problem with you taking in just the console -hard drive and swapping it for another one out of the box and they'll just send the new stuff out with the broke console. However if you do that and the hard...

I'd have a hard time seeing MS drop prices before next year. I'm sure they still want to make as much money off the console as they can seeing as how they still lose money on it. Their Core model will probably be only $50-$100 bucks more than the Wii. They'll still be much cheaper than PS3...

I bought the game because there wasn't much out at launch that really grabbed my attention. I was not dissapointed though with the purchase. I haven't beat it yet but reading this I'm gonna have to go back and try to finish it off. I think I'm getting close to the end any way.

I've been using WER +(right mouse) for the longest time. I think when I finally start playing again I'll go to WASD. I use the right mouse button to move forward. I think I started doing controls that way after some demo had weird defaults. Was always fun for me to see someone hop on a...

I've had my 360 since launch. My girlfriend said it locked up one time on hearts, and I've had it lock up once playing a game. Seems to be heat related but I haven't put too much thought into it since it's only happened rarely. Right now I figure that I'll hold onto it till it either becomes...

doesn't look like a mouse I would normally go for but I like smaller mice even with my some what larger grip. I could see me trying out that mouse and actually likeing it.

I got the 26" Panasonic tv recently for my birthday. I've been playing the xbox 360 on it and I think it looks great. The white text off of the 360 can get a little fuzzy but I adjusted it so it's not bad any more. I think it's a great combo for me in any case.

Definitely one of my favorite features. I roll over in my bed to face the tv.. turn on TV turn on Xbox and I'm all set. =)

I definitely felt like I walked away from there feeling a lot more disturbed than usual. haha my girlfriend looked a little worried about me when she saw me in when I got home.

You know to tell you the truth I'm not even that into consoles I just kind of wanted the experience I just didn't expect it to be so bad. Also I used to work at best buy like 4 years ago so I had a good idea how things were going to happen there. I didn't work when they released the PS2 but I...

I'm in Portland. lived in standish for a while. Been in Maine 7 years or so, I'm an air force brat.

yeah I don't know what I would've done if my best buy card was declined... I think I would have literally lost it. I was already getting pretty shaky in that last line. Nah over all it went pretty well just a combination of all the circumstances it was tough to last through. some people had...

So I got to best buy at about 11 to wait in line. was somewhere in the 20's so I knew I was all set to get the 360 premium. Well I live in Maine and last night it started raining at about 12:30 so it's now like 40 degrees and raining... news crew shows up at like 5:00 and so does the best buy...

Thought it was funny to see this thread. I was thinking about how nice it would be to see a sequel to descent a few days ago.

yeah I've thought about this too. I have a 21" Gateway monitor that has two VGA inputs so it would be easy as hell for me to switch back and forth. if not no big deal but I think I'm gonna be giving it a shot.

I'll be camping out at the local best buy probably. You know I don't even really want one that bad I just want to try and get one. I have a history of selling shit after I get it. Sounds like fun to me.

my temps haven't gone above 70c with the 80mm fan glued on top. temps are rock solid so I'm happy. Maybe just get some memory sinks and I should be good. granted the solution doesn't look to great but it seems to be effective. I think other then the fan problem my x850pro likes the unlock...

yeah thats what I did I'm just still not happy with it's cooling and I think I get more out of the x850xt bios.

Flashed my AGP VIVO x850pro and the fan stopped working so I unlocked the pipes and flashed back to pro bios settings. not happy with the stock fan cooling so I'm gonna rip it out again and glue stronger 80mm fan back on top. that and I think the x850pro bios loses a little performance even...

yeah I'm gonna have that fan that i just glued on hooked up to a fan bus so I'll just have that flexibility now in any case.

yeah I plan to do a reinstall of windows xp soon. I haven't really been mainting my computer lately for gaming or anything. Yeah I flashed back once to the old bios but forgot I was using the force command for all the bios settings. well for now I think I'll keep that fan on though since I'm...

sorry forgot to mention that part, it is the VIVO. It's the X850pro that best buy had on sale this week for $280 ($250 w/mail in rebate). Yes it is also AGP.

So the other day I see the x850pro (AGP) for sale at Best Buy decided what the hell go for it and pick one of em up. Get home read up on unlocking the extra pipelines through a bios flash and finally when I get enough time on my hands I go ahead and do it. So I flashed to the x850xt bios...

I just bought the x850pro I flashed it this morning to the x850XT bios runs great. Haven't had too much time to play with it but it seems to have worked out great. Made a 600pt difference in 3dmark05 *edit* By the way I used the site Decibel posted for info on doing it too.

Where's All the Data?

Yeah I remember having win95 on disk as well. I seemed to have an obese copy of it. It was somewhere around 95 disks. Definitly not fun to install

gonna have to go with old school Doom

I honestly can't understand some of the bitching that goes on. Who cares if you see a Nvidia the way its ment to be played logo, who cares if ati doesn't have one. Everyone here see's the benchmarks for the cards and knows what they want to run their games. If nvidia winds up running Doom 3...

If anyones curiouse to check out the MX510 the only place you can really find them now is best buy. There are a few on ebay that go for a decent amount more than retail just because it seems as though best buy has run out of their first shipment either that or people don't can't find them at...
