  1. Re:I think my samsung does this. on Sony To Launch 3D TVs By Late 2010 · · Score: 1

    No, I didn't want to buy the equipment and get screwed again like I did with HD-DVD (I know there's still a market for that, but still)

  2. I think my samsung does this. on Sony To Launch 3D TVs By Late 2010 · · Score: 1
    My samsung LED DLP tv I bought over a year ago has a 3D feature that you use with an additional component. I'm not sure about the details, but here is the site that explains it

    I hope this isn't another proprietary thing where you have to have all Sony equipment.

    What about a simple egg timer next to your computer, or any digital timer.

  5. Re:Edge on Rest In Print, Gaming Journalism · · Score: 1

    I found this Edge (www.edge-online.com) magazine once in a Barnes & Nobles in Chicago. I loved it as well. A subscription here in the US costs just under $120 US for a 1 year, 13 issues.

    No, but I'd pay money to the person who can figure out how to stop people from posting "first".

    Great. Thanks for posting those links. Now I am going to have even less free time.

    But seriously, thanks for reminding me about those sites.

  9. Re:Un peu de poids. on Miyamoto Scrutinizes Mario, Zelda, Hails Portal · · Score: 1

    While I agree with the Gamecube's controller being comfortable. I believe that the Xbox 360's controller wins the title.

  11. Re:We need a bigger internet on The Facts & Fiction of Bandwidth Caps · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yes, but with the gas prices going up, the cost of running the trucks in those tubes is going to go up. And guess who gets to pay for it.

    What were we talking about again?

  21. Re:There Is Something Different About Beatles' Vin on Beatles and iTunes At Last? · · Score: 1
    "Yeah, but records are restrictive in the fact that you can't just push a button to skip tracks."

    With that, I reply with this. http://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/t.mpl?f=vinyl&m=707096

    Technics, and I think a few others, made linear record players with a crude track selection ability. Some were even programmable.

  24. Re:XBox Online Has Become A Joke on Microsoft Apologizes for XBL Downtime With Undertow · · Score: 1

    I apologize. I read downtimes, but was thinking of planned outages. I thought parent meant that Live was down often because of upgrades or whatnot. I agree that should be no excuse to a service being down that's paid for.

  25. Re:XBox Online Has Become A Joke on Microsoft Apologizes for XBL Downtime With Undertow · · Score: 1
    What downtimes? I can only recall a few, and their planned, and usually in the wee hours of the morning during the week.

    Low online player count: I don't know the reason behind this. I know that "Front Lines: Fuel of War" will have 32 players online for the 360.

    I am not arguing that PC online doesn't have more pros. But I believe you were wrong on a few 360 points.

    I used to play PC games, but I figured paying $50 a year for Live was better than paying $500 a year to upgrade my PC so I could keep up.
