    Gamefly Dollars

    I hope this isn't against the rules, and it is the proper forum to place it. I just quit Gamefly this morning (basically because I am fed up with their slow ship times and their limited game availabilities even when you time it with a games release you still don't get the new game.) I have...

    Help buying a FPS Gift for 360

    Hello All, I am trying to buy a friend of mine a gift, and I figured since we both love our 360's I would buy him a FPS game. (He has not played any FPS games on it yet and isn't convinced he will like it better than the PC.) Since I can't play FPS games...because they make me motion sick...

    AVAdirect and I have resolved our dispute

    Congrats kodan. I am very glad it all worked out for you. Avadirect has had some rough times but, from my times in the last 6 months dealing with them I think they are trying to fix things.....or at least from my experience they have worked hard to make my PC work. At one point I actually...

    Xbox 360 owners, what's the easiest/hardest achievements you've ever...achieved?

    Hasbro Game Night-Yahtzee ......easiest--- roll dice for 10 seconds and earn a achievement for it. I laughed when I received it without even knowing what I did...because I was talking to someone on the Skype so I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and just mistakingly left my finger on...

    Getting a XBOX 360...and want to prep it for longevity

    I did a lot of research on Xbox 360's before I bought mine...and the main thing I read was a lot of people were getting upset because yes they have the 3 year warranty with the RROD but, if it isn't RROD then after the original warranty is expired then you are out of luck (and unfortunately a...

    Asus Customer Service?

    I haven't dealt with CS for Asus but, from reading the message boards for Rampage boards (and a few others) I know that they now advanced cross ship boards for those customers they are calling it APS (Asus Premium Service.) This is as of Nov 25 2008. I haven't read if the APS service has any...

    Titan Quest + xpack = $9.99

    It is the type of game that you play through LAN ...but when I played it (it has been a year ago or so) Hamachi groups were everywhere if you wanted to group up. Did they ever patch the expansion to fix the horrible bugs after its release? About the time that I quit playing they had lost...

    Desktop Sharing (like Netmeeting)

    I am using Ultimate. I haven't tried Logmein although I do use Hamachi (by the same company ...because Netmeeting was horrid to use behind a NAT and Hamachi solved this issue) I would prefer it wasn't a web based program but, I haven't tried one so if it wans't laggy (like my mind said a...

    Desktop Sharing (like Netmeeting)

    Greetings All, I have recently purchased a new machine...with Vista 64 (had to have more ram for gaming) my problem is I am spoiled by Netmeeting and can no longer use it. I have searched for programs similar and can't find one that fits as well as Netmeeting did (used netmeeting for 8...

    Paypal serves justice finally...

    You can call Paypal at least you can if you have a problem with your account. (and surprisingly they are actually a lot easier to deal with on the phone then in e mail) I was helping a friend the other day because their paypal kept trying to reset their password....and wouldn't let them...

    PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750w good enough for 4870x2?

    I was researching the 4870x2 when I was having my PC built (also with the Antec 182 case) 750 watts should be plenty although if you want to add a second 4870x2 the recommended PSU is 1000 watts (personally I would put 1200 watts just to be safe if I was adding 2) but for a single 4870x2...

    Ava Direct or Maingear?

    Green label on Asus boards seems to do with the steps they go through to make sure their parts are good for the environment. A lot of info (and some of it probably is of no use to us as consumers) but here is some info about it. http://green.asus.com/english/dowload/S-AT2-001.pdf

    Ava Direct or Maingear?

    Personally I would take it to UPS and let them box it up for me. It would also solve any future headaches of possibility of getting damaged in transit because UPS usually packages things pretty well. It may cost you 20 dollars more or so to have them do it but, in the end it maybe worth it.

    Ava Direct or Maingear?

    I have always had the hands off policy when a PC is under warranty (unless the company sends me a part to replace....or I am getting no support at all for an extended time *a week or so*) I personally document problems then call support and see how they want to handle it. I always assumed if I...
