Capitalism at it's best iDed

No it doesn't. In fact I used a no name set I had in a drawer for a while. Just looking for some experience before buying anything. I hate throwing money away on crap. If I needed full on headphones I could find a dozen good ones, but I don't.

Can anyone recommend a decent single ear headset? I have a full surround sound setup, so I have no use for 5.1, or 7.1 headphones. All I want is on that I can use for chat in-game on the 360. I've had 4 of the original 360 ones... first set was broken, second was great, third was good...

My system runs hot. Don't know why, but at idle with nothing really running PCProbe shows about 53°C, and CoreTemp show about 5° cooler. I just started using iTunes on this systems, and both times I've synced an iPod it has shot up to 65°C. That was with no more than 25% or so on any of the...

Haven't been to a CC for a deal, and I won't most likely. Years ago I worked at a store that had a suspicious fire. Everything in the stock rooms, show rooms had smoke damage. Nothing was burned or wet from the fire department. The insurance company took everything, gave the owner a check for...

This will be my first LCD. I've been using a Sony G520 CRT for years for the "better" color over LCD. It's getting some burn-in though, and the colors are off now. Time to move to LCD, but not willing to pay out the arse for it. Anyway here's the questions: How is the color reproduction? I...

I haven't bought one in a couple years so I can't recommend a specific frame. I can however suggest a feature. Get one with a motion sensor on it. I believe the manual for ours even says not to leave it on for extended periods of time. Who wants to turn off a picture frame every night? Or...

Danny Bui, Thanks For the reply. I looked at both items you mentioned. I don't mind buying a slightly beefier video card, so I think I'll stick with the 4830, and the PSU you mentioned isn't in stock at the egg. I'm trying to buy from one source for once. The total difference is about $60...

um... bump

I've been doing some shopping (much by price) and put together a list. Does anyone have any input on these? Alt. suggestions? CPU - AMD Phenom 9850 BLACK EDITION 2.5GHz Motherboard - ASUS M3A78 Memory - OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) PSU - CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W Vid Card -...

OK, here goes... I'm building my first new rig in several years and have been out of the loop for a while. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Daily web browsing, with occasional photoshop/illustrator work, DVD/CD ripping and now HD video editing...

Thanks for the replies. I tried re-encoding a couple of the songs, and they came up shorter than they should be. As if the originals were missing sections, and that was making itunes/ipod end the song. I'll just have to track down all the NFG ones, and rerip.

No, I have double checked. Everything is set up right that I can find..... 95% of my stuff plays fine.

I have a ton of songs that suddenly end. The entire song is there on the computer, and ipod, and they are not set to end before the entire song has played. To clarify... Johnny Cash: I walk the line, plays until the first verse starts, then jumps to the next song. If I skip ahead it will...

LOL, your identical post was locked, so you just start another? exactly the same? Tool.

This is great. As if all of the annoying kids with ADHD, and the adults with insecurities about their penis size didn't have enough reason to cheat in multiplayer ranked matches. Now all of these retards will be running aroung backwards in GoW shooting out their asses, and running off the maps...

That is exactly what I thought. I checked woot at around 1am, thought, bah! 10 f'in keyboards off to bed. Woke up athis morning and thought hey I could ....... Checked woot, sold out. I would guess easily $10-15 each on ebay with all the letters changed.

With my second 360 dead I'm thinking circuit city wasn't the best place to buy from. I think I'm going to return it outright and buy it from a store with a better return policy. Even if I have to pay for it (under $60). I would like to get 1 year over-the-counter-return. Thanks In Advance!

Up until the 360 I was a firm believer in NEVER buying extended warranties because they are a scam. I still believe they are a scam for the most part. Now, IF I had bought CC's extended warranty (which I STILL would not), here's what would happen (as explained by customer service manager when I...

I bought my first 360 on Dec 26, 06. It ended up dying on me. Not completely, but nearly so I returned it to circuit city before my time was up to do so, and on advisement from M$. That was Jan 17, 07. And Boy was it fun. Had to go to 2 different locations because after calling and...

Is this any different than collegehumor, ebaum, ogrish, or whoever else slapping thier address at the bottom of "submitted" videos? I haven't seen the videos myself so, I'm making assumptions based on the article. But if I'm understanding this correctly it's basically the same; Website...

I concede, I am not dork enough to have known. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle. Just for future reference, if you ever see FTW in one of my posts it's Fuck The World. Usually in a pointless, or aggrevating thread to show that I truly don't care. So ....... FTW

Neither am I, and it has nothing to do with games, or the interwebs. It doesn't mean for-the-win though. It's an old biker thing. With a less than friendly meaning.

LMFAO..... OK

Right. The noise I'm hearing from the 360 when i'm in the dashboard is obviously the dvd drive:rolleyes: The sound when the drive is spinning (in game) is more like a small jet at a short distance. When I power down the 360 and the controller is charging it's still noisy.

Finally I can have every episode of "what's happening" and "227"!

3-7 seconds? wow. I've noticed it, but only for a second, or less. 2 at the absolute most I think.

I don't like the idea of using a 360 as a set top box. My current comcast box doesn't sound like a handfull of screaming 60mm fans. My 360 however does.

I am torn on the host name thing and what-not. I think the game stacking to boost your gamerscore is bs, but I don't see anything wrong with playing ranked matches with your friends. You know eachother, you can communicate, maybe you'll win. I have played a few games against people who...

Yup that one. I read the kotaku page AFTER replying. :D

I think they really need to fix the headset problems before anything else multiplayer related. The only time I have any kind of communication is in ranked matches. I suck at GoW, but play mostly ranked matches because I can actually communicate with my team, and have some type of strategy. In...

Play the tiger challenge. If I remember correctly after you beat the first guy in all 4 brackets you advance to pro. I could be wrong about how many you have to win, but I know my character is pro and I haven't played a tourny yet.

Cool. I think if I fall asleep gaming I need to worry more about my 360 setting my house on fire than my screen burning.

Resurrecting this thread like Mumra from Thundercats. I forgot to update this thread, because I've been busy playing gears of war :). I sort of fucked up I guess. Christmas morning I still hadn't returned the PS3. I was watching my wife, and son open their gifts, and my wife unburies a...

I know, I know, just spend the coin, and buy a 70" LCD... Ain't gonna happen, so..... Has anyone had any problems playing games on big screens? I know the TV manufacturers say "DON'T DO IT!", but has anyone here had any problems? I only have 3 games for the 360, and the original xbox...

No, but they sold more, so more broke. I just bought mine last week, and I'm already pissed off. It works for the most part, but gets the dirty disc errors for no reason, runs excessively hot, and my headset doesn't work. Just remember, the failure rate is only 3%. So judging by this...

it glows blue man, what more reason would anyone need!? :rolleyes:

check fatwallet, it's posted there as well as the january one.

Could you guide us to said $19.99 bridge at the Egg? I couldn't find it.
