I like the idea, I'm not sold on the console itself though. I'm worried about it becoming another Wii situation, where third party cross platform game support drops off quickly due to it being too different from the other next gen systems. We don't know what the PS4 or Nextbox will have in them, but the U seems like…

He can park there - the pilot is handicapped.

Looks extremely similar to the x-47B or RQ170.

His hands really look like a few millimeters longer, few shades darker version of mine. Funny enough, the word "dainty" has been used to describe my hands to me.

Which would lead to fragmentation, the appeal of the U over say a 360 with a tablet using smartglass is that every U console has a tablet controller, encouraging developers to actually use it. I don't like the price point either, but I'd rather it stay unfragmented.

I wonder how going from three fans to one and two separate heatsinks and entire thermal zones for the CPU&GPU to one will affect thermals and acoustics.

This worked great for Mubarak in Egypt.

Ah, that got me what I wanted, thanks! It's a bit more convoluted than before, worth the speed upgrade though.

Walk me through this like I'm retarded, I still don't see how. I can sort by artist or album but I still can't sub-sort that by rating for all the songs.

Sorry if I'm dumb, but how does that help me sort certain queries by star rating?

I just want the ability to sort all the songs by one artist or in one genre by star rating back. You can look at all the songs by one artist, but it's always sorted by album, no way to do it by rating.

Cost. You buy playback licencing. Anyone can make the physical disks though, so long as they don't play blu ray movies.

A lot of things are laggy on that though.

I like the speed, but I don't get why they took the ability to sort every song by one artist or in one genre by star rating away. You can sort everything by artist, but then it's all broken up into albums.

Lmao

Four hardware cores with four logical cores each sounds like an IBM Power7 based design, with its four way SMT. They implied the Wii U was based on that by saying it was based on Watson, but that didn't really pan out for various reasons.

Well, it depends on how many watts the CPU and GPU are putting out. The Wii U uses a similar design with the fan in the back sucking air out, not aimed at the heatsink directly at all, but that uses so few watts it will likely be fine. If the nextbox uses 250 watts in a similar design again, I agree.

I've already taken it apart for various temporary fixes so I'm not sure Microsoft would take it back now, even if I paid for the repair.
