    Missed the boat, I guess

    Don't feel bad, I'm 32 and I too have played video games since Atari 2600. It was the first game system for me too when I was a very young kid in the early 80's (then Nintendo and SNES, N-64, a break of a few years, then a XBOX, GameCube and finally XBOX 360 and recently a Wii. No Sony play...

    Another one bites the dust....

    I got the ring of death about 1 1/2 months ago, and went through the repair process, boxed up my 360 and shipped it off under extended warranty. About a week later got replacement 360, it is a different console but same hardware. Have had no issues with unit at all so far, thankfully. Though I...

    Strategy Guides

    First of all! Like lying there is different levels of cheating, there is on one spectrum cheating on our spouses (or girl/boyfriends) and taxes and on the other is cheating on our dogs/cats by petting another dog/cat. Using cheat codes/cheat guides/Walkthru's etc. is cheating because it aids you...

    Here It comes again : 360 with BD in 2008

    Can see MS putting an internal drive for all new 360's and also selling external drives for those that have a 360 that pre-dates 360 Blu-Ray... No, as a HD-DVD add-on owner, this doesn't piss me off! In fact, I'm ok with it... I feel better about spending my $170 for drive and 6 movies than...

    Rock Band is a Blast!

    I should state, I've played GH 2 and 3, along with playing drums and guitar (non-bass) on Rock band a couple of times (don't own any of them, though if I could afford it, I'd buy GH3 and Rockband)

    Rock Band is a Blast!

    why wouldn't you like Rock Band? The people that developed it, are those that developed GH 1 and 2, and more or less gave the back bone for GH 3. Why wouldn't you like Rock Band?

    Wii still kicking but, PS3 surpasses 360 in sales.

    Here is my take on this: I don't care if PS3 beats 360's pants off, if they sell 20 million next year, I'll still be happy with my 360. The same goes for Wii and PS3 owners, they bought their machines for a reason, and just because another console starts selling in good numbers finally after a...

    Playing .mov files on XBOX360?

    Not sure, the way I got it it will now stream MPEG4 off of IPOD, not that it will play .mov movie files. At least that is the way I read it.

    Eve-Online

    Instead of hijacking another thread asking whats good for online gaming, I've decided to ask my question here. Has anyone looked at, checked out, and/or played Eve? See EVE Online - a massive multiplayer online roleplaying space game - MMORPG it looks really cool, though I am not sure and...

    The Original NES

    LOL Kid Icoris (however it was spelled) was the game I remember the most from the NES, I also enjoyed playing Zelda for hours. Anyone have/had the robot? How about the arm controller (the bracelet thing) or the zapper? Back then I had them all, funny, none of those things are in the "Next...

    EA buys Bioware/Pandemic for over $800mil...this is BIG.

    I don't think this is good news. I've seen it before, once a brand goes away, because it was bought, that quality is lost forever. Instead you get half-dozen huge companies, that only care about turning a profit and cut corners anyway they can. I've liked and hated stuff from EA, but at...

    New PS3 CONFIRMED. FCC Report Leaked

    realize that this might not be the same as 360's "new" model. But what was everyone out there saying about Playstation? I thought they didn't do hardware updates? and it has been less than a year for Sony.

    Database of Release Games for Both Systems

    Truth is, neither system, no system (except maybe the Wii) had a great showing when released. Most should expect that, it is a brand new system after all. Where Sony messed up, IMO, is they set the bar too high, especially when it comes to price, and many passed up the PS3. Add to that the...

    How about something like this for HDMI?

    Found this, Component video and analog Audio to HDMI Adapter Gefen EXT-COMPAUD-2-HDMI Why wouldn't that work for a 360, so that you can have HDMI? Says that it supports HDTV up to 1080P. (Componet and analog audio are converted to HDMI stream) $178.95 so it is pricy, but if you really wanted...

    Another one bites the dust....

    My 360 has been working great since I got it (second one, bought one, about 8 months later sold it--no issues at all--about 9 months or so bought the one I got now, and have had 0 issues with it). I play games, download off of XBL, play HD-DVD's on HD-DVD drive, stream music/video's off of my...

    Sony caught trying to sabotage Halo3 Wiki....

    This is why I take everything I read on "wiki's" with a grain of salt. LOL Read up on how to build a door bell and you might end up with a trojan horse, LOL

    Just how ignorant is the "average" console buyer.....Very!

    I wouldn't be that quick to judge that statistic. I know three people right now, that have an HDTV that don't have ANY source of HD going to their Tvs (not even OTA). Now granted, they know HD is out there, but could really care less if they have it or not. The only reason they bought an HDTV is...

    Just how ignorant is the "average" console buyer.....Very!

    Well, could have told you this. How many millions of PS3's have been sold? 3, 6...? How well does Blu-Ray sell? Sure they are beating HD-DVD (right now), but if more than 40% (which I honestly believe to be high) were buying Blu-Ray, you'd see sells in the millions, not hundreds of thousands...

    Video game addiction: A new diagnosis?

    It all has to do with no one wanting personal responsibility anymore. I play hours and hours of video games, instead of doing my homework, because I'm addicted to video games. Where is the personal responsibility there? That's right, no where! I've got an idea, if your 15 year old is playing...

    May Sales Numbers US & Canada + Japan

    Glad to know Nintendo is finally back on top. I've been a Xbox fan since the Xbox came out (and now with the 360 too), but go back 10-12 years ago, Nintendo was my favorite. I guess a Wii is in my future, LOL. Is Wii a fad? IMHO, no, I think it appeals to so many because it is what they say...

    May Sales Numbers US & Canada + Japan

    If people are still buying PS2's, why would you think they'll run out tomorrow and buy a PS3? Don't make sense to me. The reason why PS2 is outselling 360 is because of the price difference. Right now, PS2 is the cheapest way to get a console that is still having games made for it. PS3 is...

    My PS3 is seriously injured

    One thing I have a question here about, and I guess it is the norm or quickly becoming the norm. Whats with shipping refurb replacements? If the unit you got was new, and they say you have a years warranty, why are they shaving corners by sending you a unit that obviously already went bad...

    I upgraded my 360's 20GB drive to a 120GB drive...

    Just curious, oh well. :) Yeah, I'll eventually get myself larger drive, but right now don't have cash. I think, MS, though selling at a loss now, will eventually reap the rewards. I believe they'll actually make a profit on 360 in the long run. At least I hope so, so they want to release...
