And make sure you create a non-DRMed MP3 of the "click of death" sound. That way you'll be able to enjoy them long after both the music and the media are unusable.
Well, the Gamecube is the most import-friendly console there is. Even before the Freeloader boot disc (or the Action Replay with Freeloader code), the Cube was the easiest mod ever.
A gamebit, screwdriver and some solder are all you need to change a US system to a Japanese one, or vice-versa. Add a switch and some wire and you have a dual-mode system - no chip required. The ROMs on the board even have the system menus in both Japanese and English.
Sure, it still voids your warranty, but it's a lot less hassle than modding a PS2 or Xbox. Heck, it's even easier than modding a PS1. Thanks, Nintendo!
Coolatoola ( http://www.coolatoola.com/ ) makes one for OSX that'll backup your data to a MiniDV tape. Not speedy, but you get a nice, portable backup of 10-15GB (depending on tape speed) that'll fit almost anywhere.
Na, if it had a V6, performed like a V8 they would call it a V8+
Thankfully the auto industry doesn't take marketing tricks from the tech industry.... yet.
Sure they do. That's why we see things like a "Triton V8."
It's got a special name, so it must be better than a regular V8, riight?
I ran into this exact situation when flying from Seattle to Seoul earlier this year. You aren't allowed to lock checked baggage until after it's gone through the TSA screeners. All you have to do is wait until after your luggage has been x-rayed and cleared, then you can re-lock it before it's sent to the plane.
but 70% or so of the highly reviewed XBox titles have not been released in Japan. That's why I have an American XBox instead.
True, that's why I haven't bought one in Korea (I'm the AC who posted the parent to your comment) and won't buy one when I'm in Japan next month. I'd like to set one up as a retro-gaming machine, but still want to be able to play on Live. The modchips are switchable to allow play on Live, but since most of the Live games are US releases, I'd need a US machine and US original games.
If the US bundle were the same as the Japanese one, I'd get a friend on the military base to snag one for me. As it is, I'm not dropping $180 for the system and two B-liist games.

Actually, it's going for $29.99 now. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/halo/default.htm Still not a "Platinum HIts" title, but better than $50.

I'd say he's very, very happy.
Why not list Half-Life for Dreamcast or Macintosh? What about Thrill Kill for PS1?
(Okay, Thrill Kill made it out in various forms - I still have my copy - but it wasn't ever "officially" released.)
There is no tree.

You made the first post
Hey, mother Anonymous!
You proud of your son?
Was that before or after you'd applied the "Nude Raider" patch?
But with all the talk for FOS software, P2P networks and open standards, shouldn't that read socialist gods?
But it'll be a "tolkien-ring" network, right?

The maxim still applies.
Choose any two.

Yet the article uses a 100-series PowerBook for the graphic? Oops.
