You vaguely describe having "other concerns" and "different priorities" but I don't think we're as misaligned as you seem to imply. Where did I say "PC gaming is great and better than console gaming"? I simply asserted that your "reasons" for not PC gaming are the same I hear/see from all console-only gamers and it's…

I find it interesting that you think the Xbox version is missing detail when there is clearly a layer of post-processing FXAA blurring everything on the screen in the PS4 version. I can't decide if I like the smoother image with less detail (PS4) or the jagged image with more detail that is playing on the xbox. If…

Your console's graphics card is already obsolete and it hasn't even been released yet.

Here is a quick PC build which is technically more powerful (CPU considerably more powerful and GPU somewhat more powerful) and it comes in at right around $530. You also get two free games!- http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1UKcF

Sure - spec wise the HDX is a beast but have fun with that OS - it's worse than iOS! That said, I'm guessing a decent percentage of the Gizmodo user-base have the technical know-how to root the HDX and throw on vanilla Android. Assuming that doesn't break any functionality, the HDX would be a great device. On the…

Use google's digital storage calculator and input 100 terabits. Have the calculator convert to terabytes and you get 12.5 terabytes

"And if anyone thinks they need more than 2GB, get more than one card..." - Having multiple 2GB cards does not increase your total amount of VRAM. If you have two, three or even four 2GB graphics cards, you still only have 2GB of VRAM. If you need more than 2GB, you must purchase a card with more than 2GB. Add…

Maybe I'm missing something, but why does the preorder for the Xbox One keep popping up on the dealzmodo post? It is full price right? Do you get anything else or just "... commemorative controller, token code to unlock an exclusive Day One achievement, and premium packaging"? Does anyone care about the commemorative…

The Samsung 840 Pro comes in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities.

I think you want to make it "hard for the bastards to cheat" - not "hard for them to cheat less" as that would mean Microsoft would be making it easier to cheat more or providing incentive to cheat more as that would be easier than cheating less. Either way, I've never had much of a problem with modders or cheaters.…

I can attest to the AC66U being a really nice router. It has many features including VPN which is really easy to setup. Asus provides you with a free dns service which assigns the router a static IP. The wireless G range is outstanding. Nearly double my old dual-band wireless-n linksys router. The speeds are great on…

The Pro is 256GB whereas the "normal" version is 250GB. Next time you see a 250GB 840, you won't have to get excited for nothing because you'll know it's not the pro because it's not 256GB.

I "refuse" to use my laptop's screen because it has a resolution of 1366x768. It's not possible to fit two browsers side by side and not have a horizontal scrollbar and the vertical screen space is abysmal! Awesome - I can see the first 4 lines of text on a web page and the vertical scrollbar is like 2 miles long!…

That sd card on new egg is only a class 4 while the pny sd card from Best Buy that gizmodo links to is a class 10. That speed rating makes a world of difference when using memory cards. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra $7. Also - have fun waiting for 3 months to get your $5 back. Until that happens, you've paid…

Steam just recently gave the option to install games to a separate directory than the regular Steam folder. It's nice because you can then install games which might benefit from shorter load times on your SSD and store your main steam folder on a traditional hdd. If the games are already installed, you can use "steam…

I need to get a second battery so I can make it from Lunch to home after work with my Evo. This thing has to go and I agree 32GB is not enough. Ideally, I'd get a phone with 64GB built-in plus an SD card slot. I have around 400GB of music and (somehow) just over 20,000 songs on Google play music (which is nowhere near…

From the article - "We got between two and three hours at full brightness running current games like BioShock Infinite, Skyrim, and Dishonored, sometimes dipping even lower." Unless you're saying I would no longer find enjoyment out of it after an hour in which case I'm confused how you'd know what I enjoy.

I think I could enjoy this one plane

They don't send you a code for the game. In Origin, you click on "Origin" in the menu bar and then click on "Launch Featured Today" and it should say something about the free game. Click on that and it lets you pick the game. That's how I got mine anyways.

Dead Space 3 is $40 at it's cheapest (for a physical copy from Amazon you'd have to wait to be shipped to you) and $60 everywhere else for a digital copy. There is absolutely no reason to not purchase Sim City if you were at all interested in Dead Space 3. If you have that game already, then yeah its not that great of…
