No kidding, maybe he shoulda spent some time away from the Nintendo booth? There was TONS of buzz surrounding MGS4, Final Fantasy, and Gran Turismo among others.
Sorry, I lost about $100 in the mix. Basic system is $300, games are $60 a pop. Add tax and you come to around $520. I guess if you wanted to add the controller ($40) and the memory card ($40), you'd come a little over $600 for the package.
I'm sorry that the mysteries of Passport Registration are too much for you to handle. Was it the secret question section that baffled you, or the image verification?
No kidding, most of the comments on this page relate to Chuck Norris, realultimatepower, pirates, or some other weak attempt at being funny. If you don't have anything insightful/intelligent/interesting to say, don't bother hitting the Submit button.
I'm a little curious why they limited the roundup to horizontals under $50, while using the FX chip as a testbed. Being a FX-60 owner, I couldn't possibly justify purchasing a cooler because it is "under xxx price". Why cheap out on the cooling once you've spent a small fortune on the processor?
1) I meant to reply to the parent. 2) I am speaking from the perspective of increasing the awareness of competitive gaming. 3) Sure I can. Better luck next time?
They do retail as well, but when it comes to OEM the PID *has* to be present (affixed to the CD envelope or side of the case). I believe that's what he meant.
99% of those barely quality as "website hacks". In fact, most of the entries found on the first 10 pages or so are just a few people searching the internet for vulnerable gallery software or exploiting well known and already-patched OS vulnerabilities.
Downloading an exploitive script and using it against 100,000 web pages hoping to hit one or two isn't hacking.
I wouldn't say the focus should be on the fact that there are a higher amount of attacks, rather the focus should be on people writing web applications with security low on their priority list.
It sounds like you're just looking for a poor excuse to bash their patching cycle. There is no perfect solution in this scenario, and they're pandering to the wishes of the majority of their customers.

That's quite an assumption. For $600 people could get a Wii and 8 games, or an X360 with 6 games.
You mean a basic XBOX 360, and 3 games (that is.. if you dont want a memory card and another controller).
I would, but it's easier to identify a missing bracket the way you wrote it out.

Where are the insightful mods?

I'd mod you +5 funny myself if I could...
I'm sure they mean 97% of Windows internet users. Then again, 3% isn't that far off for OS X + Linux.
That doesnt change the fact that, WITHOUT A CRACK, genuine auth can keep those programs from running.
The word you're searching for is "rugburn".
NAT, which I think you are referring to as a "hardware firewall", usually doesn't monitor outbound traffic.
Programs that require you to be genuine authed will not install/run (IE7, Windows Defender, etc).
Of course, the HS/fan that comes with the FX-60 stock does a decent job as well.

I'm floored that this was modded insightful. Maybe a +1 "common sense", or a +1 "off-topic zealot", but insightful?
He didn't say anything about the malicious software removal tool. MS created hotfixes for worms like Blaster long before SP2.

Console games are a good proxy towards getting more players in the PC competitive gaming arena, like it or not.

The software wasn't withdrawn by its owner, read the article. Best Buy withdrew their offer.
Congrats on being completely wrong.
