    I just hope to god they used bearing fans and not sleeve fans.

    It looks like the same exact statement they made back with the first Xbox release had issues. Probably IMO they are seeing about the same if not more issues. Lets face it this one is more complex and has a much hotter system behind the faceplate, so it isn't surprising.

    2 out of my 3 PS2 units do not read DVD media (games/movies) properly. They still work with PS1/2 CD media and audio CD media.

    version 2 PS2 dead
    version 4 PS2 works
    version 9 PS2 dead

    I'm about to re-calibrate the laser units on the 2 dead ones to see if they are salvageable without going the route of a new pickup.
    My last working unit I have installed an HDD and the loader software so I don't have to use the drive as much as possible.

    Have you seen the quality of PSUs (mostly switching) made in the last 10-15 years?

        I. The purpose of Project 32
    Project 32 is the code name of a series of experiments undertaken at the Wompler Research Laboratories in Millford, Utah, in 196-, the purpose of Project 32 was to determine:

    AFAIK those recorders are S-VHS so there is much better video quality then a VHS tape.
    Tape replacement is the responsibility of whoever owns the time lapse recorder.

  13. Re:Care to provide links to these studies? on CSI Takes On Grand Theft Auto · · Score: 1

    It isn't a careful scientific study, but from my own experience, a good virtual killing spree, in any game from Galaga to God of War can help you release some pent up stress from a bad day.

    If they decide to use Wind Waker as back story to a new game, I think Gannon will be quite dead. However he could have that whole Voldamort thing going on.
    Maybe not all Zeldas take place in the same time line/dimension. So in universe #65545 Gannon wasn't bested by a boy with a magic sword at a particular point in time.

    "not coming with neither the game nor the the console"

    I think you mean either.

    " And don't forget the new Mario play to bridge"

    I cant even guess what Mario will play to bridge.

    "I understand that Nintendo want to innovate, but they are still planing sequel to overuse game title. Not counting their highly marketing behaviour with all the accessory going out usefull to only some game, but still mandatory for those game(All remember the Multiplayer option of FF:CC and Zelda:Four sword). "

    This one is especially bad, I don't know where to start or how it could be fixed.

    "So I'll just wait until all are out, check for the game to come and check if there is enough interesting me to buy. "

    I think you are saying you will wait until there are games out for all three consoles and then decide, based on the games, what ones to buy?

    "If it work well, and the game are well adapt to it it could be great."

    works, games, adapted.

    Look, I'm not some "king of grammar" but if you are going to rip on Nintendo at least try to be understandable. Maybe English is not your first language, but it is hard to understand some of what you are trying to say. I didn't pick with spelling as mine is not much better.

    In Psychonauts you have to do this a couple of times. You can not see your target, they can see you. So you use claravoiance to see what they see and move/attack from their POV.

    Funny story.
    Back when the re-make of Time Machine was done. You suddenly could not get film prints of the older version.
    It seams like some studios are trying to "replace" the old versions in peoples minds.
