    Skyward Sword game-breaking bug

    Anyone hit this bug yet? I'm only a few hours in, and haven't hit the point they refer to just yet. Seems like that would suck hard :eek: http://www.shacknews.com/article/71410/zelda-skyward-sword-suffers-game-breaking-bug

    Echo (Kyocera) on Sprint

    Just got an email from Sprint saying that I can get an Echo on the 17th. I've never even heard of the thing, but apparently its a dual screen android phone.. http://www.echobykyocera.com/ Is this the only new phone Sprint is getting until summer?

    When are the Tegra 2 based phones for Sprint coming?

    I've been wanting to replace my EVO with a newer, slider-style droid for a while now but want to hold out for the dual-core chips. Anyone know when the next Sprint phone sporting Tegra 2 is coming?

    Super Meat Boy -- Wii?

    I've been wanting to get SMB, but don't really want to get it on the PC and the PS3 apparently isn't getting a copy (:().. but I do have a Wii that gets absolutely no use at all. I'd rather have the game running in a higher resolution, but if its not in the cards then oh well. Anyone have the...

    Kinect -- auto steering?

    This game looks like so much fun. We went from controllers, to waving arms.. to doing nothing at all ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWbLOFGSEDo edit: seems as though there is one in general gaming: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1563403

    Ubuntu on the new Macbook Air?

    In the market for a new laptop and the Air's form factor + battery life is pretty attractive but I'd need to have Ubuntu on it. Any folks here currently running a similar setup? Issues?

    EVGA x58 3x sli bit the dust

    So I moved recently, and after hooking up my PC it wasn't acting quite right. First thing I noticed is that my third monitor hooked up through my displayport to DVI adapter wasn't registering. Then, after booting into Windows, I noticed the sound card went "missing". I figured I'd take a look in...

    PS3: Sony Class Action Lawsuit

    Seems as though people are upset about the other OS option being removed (surprise) and are doing a class action: http://www.thinq.co.uk/news/2010/4/29/sony-being-sued-over-other-os-removal/ Court document...

    Anyone play Warhammer Online? Check your bank

    iPad -- how is the music player?

    No one has really touched (no pun intended) on it yet. How is the music component? Is it essentially the same as the iphone/ipod touch, or is there some new flare/functionality? While I'll probably wait for 2nd gen, I'm really having to hold back. It looks like a lot of fun :)

    Darksiders coming to PC

    I already own it for the PS3, and its an awesome game. I'll buy it for PC just to support it in hopes that the sequels (which are coming next year) also come to the PC. http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/63051

    i7 920-- HT on or off?

    Haven't had HT since the P4 days, so not sure how it stacks up. Whats the [H]'s opinion on HT, in relation to general usage and gaming? I've read that it can decrease performance in some things, while increasing it in others. If its more of a hindrance and isn't really providing a tangible...

    XBOX 360 Slim on the way for $149?

    Anyone got any more info on this? I'd gladly pick up a 360 if it was being sold for $149 :) Possibility of RROD is a little more palatable at $149. http://www.mygaming.co.za/news/xbox/5625-Rumour-149-Xbox-360-Slim-the-way.html Doh: just noticed the other thread

    Ubisoft's authentication servers go down

    Apparently their new DRM scheme isn't working very well, or at all. Their authentication servers are down, essentially rendering legit customer's copies dead. I predicted this in another thread, although I dont recall which one. Sigh...

    PSN: getting slower?

    Anyone notice downloads on the PSN are getting really really slow? It use to be sluggish, but now its just damn slow-- it took me 30 minutes to download UNO. UNO! My line is 16mb/10mb, and I don't experience slow down anywhere else. :confused: (the PS3 is on a wired ethernet connection)

    Need a new brawler: Bayonetta or Darksiders?

    They both look pretty similar, and are ranked similarly, but would like some personal opinions from the [H]. So.. whats the scoop? I'm a huge fan of God of War, so just need something to hold me off until March'sh.

    PS3 YLOD

    Well, after all this time of ragging on the 360's failure rate, karma has struck-- my launch PS3 has the yellow light of death :o Seems as though you can dissassemble it and reflow with a heat gun, so I'm going to give it a shot later today and post up my results. Anyone else get the YLOD and...

    Eyefinity -- defaults to 60hz, won't let me change it.

    My monitors happen to use 59hz at 1920x1200, but when I create a display group it won't allow me to select the properly supported refresh rate and defaults to 60hz. I've tried forcing it using tools like RefreshLock and it just wont set it (does nothing at all). Anyone have any insight? Slightly...

    SFF cases that will hold a GTX 260

So, before I go and buy the required $100 displayport adapter from Dell, I'd like to offset some cost. Up for sale is my MSI GTX260 core 216, 896MB...

    ATI shakin' it up (5850, price drops?)

    Looking over the 5850 benchmarks today, and I must say, for $200 that be some mighty fine value and performance. Generally 10% to 15% quicker than a 285 and at $100+ less? ATIs got a winner. Just may need to upgrade since the price seems right. How long do you think till we see some kickback...

    Crash Course: reoccuring music muting regular sounds

    Anyone else notice this bug? The reoccurring ambient sound, sounds like "klunk klunk, klunk klunk" and a siren in the background, causes the regular game sounds/effects to get muted. Very irritating and makes the entire campaign unenjoyable. I've tried disabling music and it didn't help.
