    Console sales April 2007 (NPD)

    Wii - 360k 360 - 174k PS3 - 82k Ouch. The Elite didn't boost much sales-wise (data goes almost one week into May) and the PS3's sales just... Suck.

    How will this affect the PS3s BD player?

    http://www.dailytech.com/Bluray+Disc+Specification+Change+Threatens+Current+Players/article6702.htm Not flaming. This is a legitimate concern. In theory, I would think that the PS3 could handle this with an update but I really don't know for sure.

    Halo 2

    It's probably been discussed to death, but I just finished the game (finally). I made it about halfway through before at a friends but never finished it. The first half of the game is pretty meh, but boy does it pick up after that. Best video game ending ever? I'm inclined to think so.

    Tiger Woods for the Wii

    I haven't heard anyone talking about this... It's getting good to very good ratings in most places. I'm curious to read a real in-depth review of it, though. I did see some screenies of the game... Ugh. Maybe they were bad screens but the game was flat-out ugly. I mean, they looked bad for a...

    Sony screws over Europe

    Yikes. What a terrible move. I'd be extremely pissed right now if I was a Sony fan in Europe. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070223-8912.html

    AAA Nintendo title in April?

    Scary games

    What are the games that freaked you out the most? Combine startling, creepy, and suspenseful and then tally it. Im curious to hear what you guys have to say. For me, it's: 1. Silent HIll (I thought it would be another RE clone but it shocked me) 2. RE4 (amazing, simply amazing) 3. RE2...

    XP Pro-Transferring user files to another user

    I'm helping someone over the phone and I have a problem. An employee quit but before he quit, he changed his user PW. Now the GM can't get into his user files. We still have access to the admin account. What is the easiest way (to explain over the phone if possible) to snag those user...

    Wii games release date

    Is there a decent source around that lists upcoming games and release dates in chronological order? I'm not really interested in VC games, just official DVD format releases.

    Has anyone received their replacement Wii straps?

    I just realized that I still haven't received mine and was wondering if anyone here had them shipped yet. I ordered them the first day they were available.

    Golly gosh darn it, Nintendo

    Component Hub/Switch

    Now with my Wii, I want to go component with more than just my satellite. Problem is, my TV only has one component in and my receiver has zero. I plan on hooking up my DVD player with component with the possible expansion to a 360 in the future so I'll need at least 4 component ports...

    Stereo Receiver

    I'm looking to upgrade my old Sony receiver... No component outputs. :( I know this is mainly an HTPC forum but I thought a few of you guys might be able to steer me in the right direction. My stereo is nice but not great, so I'm looking to keep it reasonable (aka. <$500 if possible)...

    CoD3 on the Wii

    Yeah, I know, the graphics aren't as good as the PS3 or 360, blah blah blah... But has anybody played this game on the Wii? And am I the only one suffering through the insanely difficult learning curve with the WiiMote? Man, I've played a lot of FPS on consoles but never have I had such a...

    PS3 Software Sales in Japan

    I found this very interesting... It goes back about one month and lists the top ten games sold in Japan that week. Shockingly, the week of 12/4-12/10 had ZERO PSP or PS3 games in the top 30. Ouch! I assumed that the PS3 would be doing better than that over there...

    Wii Nunchuks

    Has anyone been able to find this damned controller? I finally snagged another WiiMote but I need another Nunchuk to go along with it for Wii Sports boxing. Any online sources? Any ideas?

    Cleaning up iTunes Library

    Is there any way to do this? I, as most others probably did, pirated quite a bit of music back in the days of Napster. Now as I slowly replace these songs with purchased music or buy the CD, the old files still linger in my iTunes database. Is there a way to automatically clear out files that...

    Camcorder... Idiotic question

    I've never messed with a camcorder but I can't figure out how to get info off the tape and onto my Mac... I bought a Panasonic PV-GS180 and can't get info from the tape onto the Mac... It's USB only. I don't know if that matters. Any help in the matter would be appreciated. The instruction...

    Can you "reverse" a second monitor on an iMac

    I currently have the 17" iMac and am eyeing up a 20" monitor... One question I can't figure out: Can I run the 20" as the primary monitor and push the iMac to the right? Or am I forced to run the iMac monitor as the primary, forcing the 20" to the right?

    Is this the entire Intel Mac lineup?

    I'm curious to hear what you guys think about the introduction of the Mac Pro... For me, it's complete overkill and it's about $600-$1000 more than I want to spend for a machine. I'm a graphic designer who occasionally games. When I lived in the PC world (I run a 2003 server and my last "PC"...

    Right click plug-in for XP on a Macbook

    Has anyone found a utility that can enable right-click on a Macbook when using Windows? A solution similar to the right click when using Mac OS (two fingers and click or two fingers to scroll) is what I'm looking for but anything is better than what I'm using now (shift+f10). I don't use...

    Fresh from China... Rocketpig's new MacBook

    This little thing is freakin' cool... I can't believe Apple got it to me from China already. I didn't order it until about 12pm on Tuesday. I love it. Way more responsive than my G4 Powerbook or my G4 iBook. I'm all Intel now, baby! W00t! PS. I know a lot of you don't like them, but I...

    Backing up my CD / DVD collection

    I want to back up my Adobe software on my Core Duo iMac and lock up the originals some place safe so I won't lose them. Is there a way to copy a CD image using the software bundled with OSX 10.4? If so, how do I do it? I know there are programs like Toast available but I really don't feel...

    Formatting a USB hard drive

    I have an NTFS harddrive and I just bought a USB external drive housing to do the occasional back up... I plugged it into my Core Duo last night and everything seemed to be fine... But when I took it to work to use on my old DP G4 Powermac running 10.3.9, it comes up as a read-only drive...

    Does anyone have an Intel Mac and a Harman Kardon sub?

    Does anybody have an Intel Mac and a USB Harman Kardon subwoofer? I dug my old woofer out of storage today and it doesn't work. I want to make sure that it's the subwoofer and not some driver problem before I go and buy a new one.

    Powerbook G4

    How do I find out if my Powerbook has gigabit ethernet or not? I'm started to suspect that the one I bought might be a 400 PB with a 550 chip installed (the 400s didn't have gigabit but the 550s do).

    Okay, unusual solution needed for serial to ethernet.

    Here's the deal. At the company I work for, we have 5 CNC machines. These CNC machines have only the large (can't remember model number) serial ports on them (not the DB-9 ports). I need these to be connected to a switch (ethernet obviously), which will in turn go to a single computer for...

    Wireless PCMCIA cards for Mac

    Font Appearance Problems

    I just formatted my Mac this morning (10.3.9) and some of the text in Safari and Mail are appearing in some whacked-out font and language. I checked all my System Preferences and everything is set to United States and is correct. Any idea where I need to start looking for this problem?

    Internet Filtering Software

    I FINALLY broke the limit

    I finally reached the limit of PS7... A 2GB image... It won't let me do anything to it now... It's frozen. *I feel so proud* You may not be interested, but for a long time I've wondered what the file size limit is on PS... It's 2 gigs.
