  4. Re:No matter what on Gamespy Reveals Xbox Next Specs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    sounds pretty much like a PC to me dude.

    the winning factor of consoles at the moment is that each vendors model (which they usually keep around for a few years) stays *exactly* the same, if we have these machines with varying specs like you say then it's just going to throw everything into disarray.

    I like what is happening at the moment and I think that it works very well.

    Considering the rock bottom cost of each console, the outlay on a Playstation or Nintendo ontop of an XBox to play the latest games for that console is cheaper than the entry level standards based model you suggest.

    I don't think you understood everyones Antenna suggestion, you don't actually connect the wire to the phone, just another aerial in the basement which the phone should use as it would a cellphone station.

    Have you used bluetooth through walls before? In my real world experience it does not work at all, infact bluetooth hardly even works in the same room when there are many obstacles.

    you obviously haven't used bluetooth in a real world environment, it's no quite as fantastic as the marketing departments would have you believe :|

    Ninth. Afaik, there are no cracked copys of hl2 on the web yet, so if you were a cruminal, you still wouldn't be playing.

    all it does is detect the cellphone...

    I'm not sure about you but there is a law coming in in our country (New Zealand) where sure "Yak and Drive" is illegal in the sense that you cannot be holding a telephone, there is no reason why you could not use handsfree however (seeing as the whole problem is that people usually only have two hands and you need two of them for driving).

    Might do, lots look like they merely record for later viewing...

    The fifth and sixth results look like something you would want to investigate for sure!

    Most, however, appear to be geared towards serving a local network. This makes alot of sense considering the bandwidth problems over the public internet as opposed to a slick local connection ala 100Mbit switch.
