Other than aim-assist being bit too strong (there by making it bit harder to differentiate between skilled players and stick-mashers), it's hard to fault this game Stronger aim-assist does make barrier of entry lower for newer players so it's really hard to fault Bungie for this selection.
Actually I mentioned it to say that there is not even a speaker hum. MixAmp was off so all I hear is the noise coming from the console. Of course I didn't have the headphones on when detecting for noise coming from the console.
Installing the game is a huge boon for 360 games. It's fast and...
I LOVE the MS Live points system.
You can find discounted cards (I recently paid $50 for 8000 points) then wait for them to discount the games and get the games for fraction of the original cost. If they charged for everything in real currency... it's real hard to pay $50 for $100 if you know...
Hmm... I've got 2 360 (both Jasper) and a PS3 right in front me as I type. When I play a game (I use a headphone), installed version on 360, 360 seems to be as quiet as the PS3 (if not more quiet.)
I'm using a ASUS VH(?)242H 24" monitor via the HDMI 2ms. I have a HDMI switch setup with PS3 and 360 going through it. This means I never have to fight anyone for the TV. For sound, I have a optical TOSLINK switch with Astro MixAmp giving me dolby headphone. So that no one else is bothered by...
Difficulty in canceling these kind of services is exactly why I've been using using prepaid cards. Like most, I've been paying $30.
I've really only been using the service for multiplayer (PC does a better job with facebook etc., have a DVR, blu-ray player, don't really use netflix.) I've also...
In the last 16 or so months I've bought 3 xbox 360 (no, none have failed) and a PS3. (Also have a Wii but that thing just sits collecting dust unless my nephew visits or something.)
I notice that I game more on the xbox mostly due to the fact that more of the people that I personally know game...
Bought it. I loved the demo (which I played only recently) but I heard about this deal coming from slickdeals so waited a few days. It is A LOT like classic Metroid with new graphics.
BTW Microcenter has sale on Live points ($40 for 4000 I think). Though I grabbed mine when they had that...
Gospel.
(And I actually enjoy the game as a mindless shooter. Akimbo 1887 is pretty much broken. I wouldn't mind if they turned the aim assist down a bit either.)
As far as OP request, though not a jungle, Battlefield 1943 had a bit of the open world feel with destructible environments and...
I also have a 70GX from NEC. It's a fantastic monitor. I would ditch my Samsung 226BW if only the NEC was a 24" 1080p I wouldn't be looking for another monitor now. Though Samsung is rated at 2ms, I subjectively see less ghosting issues on the NEC (which I believe is a 12ms(!) monitor.) I can...
Not out yet... but....
MAG! (256 player FPS)
There's a beta going on right now (if you pre-order the game.)
I'm buying a PS3 just for this game. Waiting to see if there are any good Black Friday deals.
Fat or slim? Both $300... (160GB fat that is) Other than the Linux thing on the Fat and new audio stuff on the Slim, is there anything else different? (Well, other than size, weight, and power.)
Yep. I already have a HDMI switch with remote. I'm looking for a cleaner solution. Though it would open up the choice of LCD's if reduced the HDMI requirements to just one.
Looking to hook up my pc as well as the Xbox 360 and the PS3.
So far I see the Samsung T240HD as the only choice really but obviously there are those in here who have seen more monitors go by.
I'm looking for something to game on, with minimal ghosting, blur, lag and the like as I mainly...
Lag started about 3 weeks ago. I think developers have dropped support for this game and are squeezing more and more instances of the host per server.
It's too bad since I like the game engine more than the COD series (longer distances, destructable terrain, more vehicles.). It's a more...
Anybody actually read this story?
They didn't stop anything. You can't sell MW2 discs that only play on modded xbox's. Maybe to pirates with no internet connections. "in position to sell thousands of these." lol.
If he had actually found a way to make a disc that was readable in standard xbox...
I don't play multiplayer FPS on PC anymore except as a co-op. (Still play single player on PC though)
Will get for my 360. To be honest, I'm looking more forward to BF:BC2 (destructible environments, bigger maps where rifles actually have some meaning) and MAG (256 player!)
I was waiting for this monitor also to replace my old 226BW. I guess I'd better move to plan B. Looking for a 24" or so 1080p monitor with very little ghosting/blur if any. Also HDMI for my PS3 and Xbox 360 would be nice.
Really like the new samsung LED backlit 120Hz TV I saw at Frys.

Anything like that coming down the pike?
OCZ REBATE PROGRAM: NOT RELIABLE.
Was just denied for purchase outside the rebate date. LOL As I bought it ON-LINE with the rebate (and have email and retailer invoices to prove it) There was no way it was outside the date. (And the rebate coupon I sent along with it proves it.)
They...
A bit dated info, ain't it?
There are more choices other than ASUS and EVGA now and changing almost daily. That thread is like 20 days old.
I like the looks of the P6T myself but I hear it doesn't come out of sleep well (but then none of the x58 boards seem to do that well. I hear Gigabyte...
Err.... Did you actually read the review? Review is somewhat favorable about SuperTalent sticks.
In the summary linked, it only says:
"The slowest-rated memory in todays comparison, Super Talents DDR3-1333 is also the cheapest. The second-highest overclocking set, Crucials Ballistix...
Same here. Got it for like $155 in December with all that cashback instant off deal. If the rebate ever comes, it will have been $135.
Runs great. Max temp I ever recorded was 71. I think most 260GTXs are in that range. Idles at 48.
CPU: E8400 @3.6 GHz w/ 4GB (should not be a bottleneck for most).
Also is 1920x1080 a problem resolution for games?
I'm considering a move form a 22" 1680x1050 setup.
Thanks.
Got 29.76 !
MSI 260 GTX OC for 199.99 - 15 (promo code) - 30 = 155
If the MSI rebate comes through $135! :D
Of course, I'm going to be asking for the free game. :p

what I really like from looking at the wolf claw is that the "gamepad" is to the left and the keyboard is to the right. I always find myself having to move the keyboard a bit to the right to "center" it again for typing after/during the game. I've been looking for a keyboard with num pads to the...
