@I'm leaving a: Happy Birthday! I will, since I've been looking for some people to play custom games with.

@baconatorbreakfast: Yeah, except for the fact that these are real knives if I'm not mistaken, the kind you could actually kill someone with.

Well no, but that is due more to the Wii processing power then Nintendo not including a full version of Opera and Flash Player 7 (the latest they could get to work on there). Youtube seems to work fine though.

@TheRockingDead: Um, the Wii has both of those.

@PixelSnader: Autopsy?

It's worth it if you play a lot of single-player games, go through them once or twice, and hardly ever play them again. You will still have to buy any multiplayer games or SP games that you like to replay, but in those cases Gamefly is still useful as a "try before you buy" service.

You are probably right, but if I recall correctly, the ATI GPU in the 360 had advanced features in its architecture which weren't put into desktop GPUs until a generation or two later, enabling it to receive DX10 through a software update.

Xbox 360 MCE?

??? "The Xbox 360 runs using a custom build of DirectX10 using certain components from DirectX11"

Nice +1. (Please tell me people get the reference. (to the Soviets))

Daaamn. We're building a house right now, so I'm planning on having a setup like that, except using the PC as a HTPC/DVR too, not just gaming.

If you play multiplayer and lots of friends on Live, or have a big investment in XBL games, go for it. The chance of one of the new consoles failing is <3% IIRC, compared to ~25% for the old white ones, and ~10% for the "Jasper" (black Elite) ones.

L.A. Noire and the original Gears of War on my XBOX360. Far Cry 1 and 2 on my PC. Need to catch up on some DS and Wii games, but I'll do that next weekend. Also, I will be getting a PS3 soon, justification is Blu-ray, but my actual reasons are Uncharted and inFamous.

How about Texas? Plenty of big airports (IAH, DFW), plenty of cheap hotel rooms (Dallas is a convention city, Houston has to accomodate all those people who come over here to work in the oil biz). Not to mention it's also centrally located in the U.S., and there are a fair number of game devs that are based or have…

Comment #64 about how they were fallout shelters, not bomb shelters.

@Jackstick: What he said, and the Shure SE215s are great. IIRC they were originally meant to be sold at the $200 pricepoint, but were discounted to $99.

Holy mother of djf;alksjd;lfkjasldkjf!!!

@dagamer34: I know XBMC and Plex run on it. I'm not sure whether Boxee runs on it, or whether that was the Apple TV 1.

I thought the Battlefield 3 E3 footage was going to be the most mindblowing thing I saw this week. This shattered that perception and caused my brain to melt.

Sadly, this was proved fake.
