Last year I overclocked my dog. It was funny to see Fluffles act at 3X. But then smoke started coming out of his ears. He caught fire shortly after. I need a water cooling kit for dogs...
I'll also add that it works perfectly on the NEX as well. I've played for hours and never had audio or graphical issuses. Having used the thing on dozens of games for +75 hours, I've only noticed slight audio corruption in SMB3. Works pretty well for a cheap "Hong Kong NOAC" for me.
Because Opera works on all platforms is THE reason MS should not buy it. Too many sites and media files are MS only. They force me to boot into windows just to watch a.wma or to view some web pages. and they like it that way because it stops people from jumping ship to mac or linux.
I preordered mine the moment I heard of it, and got mine in the first batch. I'm very pleased with it. I play it more then my Gamecube. It's worth it (and cheap) to track down old titles that I've only played in emualtion before. Dragon Warrior and Faxanadu are very good games that are still fun that I happend to have missed. Call it "Maximizing your gameing dollar".
Plus, the redesigned controller they shipped with the NEX is awesome. It doesn't leave marks like the old one did, and it has some new touches that help (pause, turbo, and SHOULDER BUTTONS that mirror A, B, easy to reach start, select). 'Love to get the wireless controlers too. It also looks sexy and came with a cool poster.
My only complaint would be that there are two game that I'd like that don't work with it. Those being Castlevainia 3 and Gauntlet. That said, all the other Castlevainias and Gauntlet 2 work fine. Still, I thank Messiah for bringing teh retro back.
From TFA: Already over 20 million PCs worldwide are equipped with a tiny security chip called the Trusted Platform Module, although it is as yet rarely activated. But once merchants and other online services begin to use it, the TPM will do something never before seen on the Internet: provide virtually fool-proof verification that you are who you say you are.
I've done that with everquest, WoW, and bash commands. Get fun, untill your staring at your ceiling trying to find what that stupid command was agian...
I've seen that done with an N64. The guy wired the ports to the front of the case, and the whole thing look slick as snot. I'm sure its still possible with a gc!

I can only imagine what might go wrong with Microsoft putting water-cooling in a major console. They failed a simple power brick...

Yes. I get a flashing pink screen when I play it on my NES. It works on my NEX.
According to Wikipedia, it's a pun on NES and Generation X. Thus Generation NEX.

Not bad, consitering that the PS3 will support mouse and keyboard. Then again, they say that it will support linux too. Whoa, deja vu...
"In Soviet Russia, games kill YOU!"
Eh, just doesn't have the same ring to it. Lets try again.
"In Soviet Russia, PC's bang YOU."
Great, maybe Opera might get some appropriate Gmail support. I'm tired of having to completely reload the page just to see a new email.
Hmmm, yes. But I have to wonder; If these games grow larger and larger, how many disks will be too many?
Until the police the world over raid every known "terrorist" hideout.

That's creepy.
I was just think that becuase of the large high detail enviroments, but your right; The can repeat many of the textures and object alot.
But we're not talking cd's here. These are DVDs. 9 gigs of crap per disk. CDs only have 800 mb.
No wonder they cost so much to make. I thought Myst 4 was huge ( 2 dvd9s). I bet the "highly anticipated title" is Oblivion.
So it's the goverments job to make your life happy?

Heh, imagine that. A console that looks as good as last years PC. What will they think of next?
Whoa, that was weird. I just had this impulse to submit something. But WHAT, darnit? What do I submit oh master!?!
Well, not being a BF2 player myself, I found it interesting, even more so when reading the ./ comunnity's take on it.
Calm down, Zonk isn't apokolips. Yet.
