Haha, it's the other way around - I'm the "He". I just already had an HDTV (pre-smart TV, but my PS3 and PC make up for the functionality) and she didn't have one yet, so I help her pick out a TV.

this is a little late, but simply put - the combined cost of buying all those products separately is at least the same, if not greater, than putting together a single machine designed to do all of that for you. Also, if your video card is burning out and you had to pay to replace it, somethings wrong. Most good…

Outside of iTunes enabled content, what's the point of getting this device? Most of the TV/Movie Streaming capability that AppleTV has (besides iTunes) are already installed on my fiance's 55' Sony LED TV. Not to mention it still can't DVR over the air or cable TV like a Roku, Boxee or home built DVR box can (for…

Not necessarily. If you're building your PC only for gaming then you're right, but if you build it correctly and with lasting hardware, with objectives that go beyond gaming - Make it also a media server, home built DVR, Net TV machine(Hulu+, Netflix), Gaming, DVD/Blu-Ray player, and (depending on what you do) a work…

You simply don't patch it. This is why the console version need an admin console or something similar. If the PC has nothing else over consoles, at least server admins can kick players for doing such things as it is OFFICIALLY (at least for ranked servers) considered cheating.

How long did you play it for? EA pushed out a server update on Friday (a mere three days after launch) and hasn't gone down since. Now if it's a matter of game style preference, then I'll keep my trap shut, but don't blame EA for every problem - if the Server runners aren't updating the server when EA releases them,…

umm, has anyone thought of the possibility of it being on the MS side of things or even an integration problem between EA's servers and the XBL servers. Anytime you add an additional layer of software on top of the base, you create another possible point of failure that doesn't otherwise exist. There is a reason…

Dude, go read about network security practices and how EVERY network is under attack daily. If you read the story it specifically says that this happened because someone stole username/passwords from another website/service NOT associated with sony, then they tried to use those user/pass combos on PSN. It is NOT…

Ok, before we all get carried away with claims of this new console being "comparable" to the PS3 and 360 in terms of power, keep one thing in mind - graphics, horsepower and HD are not the same thing. For the new Nintendo system to be stated as having 1080p has nothing to d with how powerful the system will be all…
