EDIT: Disregard this, I'm retarded. Whoa, talk about pulling numbers out of asses, here comes Nyar! Although I don't doubt that NexGenWars has high estimates, there's not a single news article to be found that says anything about them shipping more than 4 million so far. Nintendojo has a story here ...

The signal does deteriorate with length which is why bigger gauge wires are used for longer runs. My six foot cable is 28AWG, where MonoPrice's 100ft cables are 22AWG. I just glanced at the Wikipedia article and it says that at 28AWG cable can be used for lengths up to 16ft for HDTV purposes (higher...

Finally hooked up my PS3 in HD
I finally stopped being lazy and got my PS3 wired to my TV in high def. I was originally not sure if I could even do it since my TV didn't have HDMI and my two component spots were taken by the HD DVR and Xbox 360. However I found out that the DVI slot on my TV did support HDCP. Surprised me cause t...

The sales figures on NexGenWars.com say the Wii has sold over 4 million. Its updated more frequently than Wikipedia is. Close to 4 times the PS3...and its probably doing better than the 360 did during it's first few months.

They could have easily released N.U.D.E. in the US with a different name. I'm sure it didn't come here because it sucked :P . The concept just didn't sound that cool to begin with.. So Seaman 2 is monkeys with human faces? Thats pretty strange. PS2 would definately be the best console for Sega to pu...

I still think its funny that I got mine launch day walking into GameCrazy in the middle of the day with a pretty bad hangover :-P . And I had only preordered less than 3 weeks earlier. However, I haven't played it (or my PS3) much this year at all :roll: . I just don't understand the hype really..I'...

One thing I forgot to mention, and probably one of the major reasons they are $50...licensing. John Madden's name, the NFL, teams, and then other crap like music. Some of these are requirements for a football game, nobody wants to play without real teams. And more re-work goes into football games th...

Are you guys forgetting how expensive tickets are to actual sporting events? If millions upon millions will put up money for going to games (I know a couple guys at work with season tickets to the Seahawks) then a $50 videogame is nothing to them. $50 a year just isn't a lot of money to most people ...

APE is always extreme in his views on pricing (not that many people actually have to decide between getting a game OR 3 tanks of gas, they can afford both...$60 bucks doesn't even buy two tanks for me anyways). But he does have a point, $60 is WAY too much for an arcade game. Arcade games hardly eve...

But enough talk...Have at your XBLA!
I just found out Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night is coming to Xbox Live Arcade on February 10th. I'm pretty excited since I've always heard this was the best Castlevania game but I've never played it since I didn't have a Playstation back in the day. This will probably be the longest XBLA title r...

Sony must have paid them off or something...nobody I've even showed my PS3 to knew it had motion sensing until I told them they had to shake it in Resistance when they were set on fire. Everybody knows the Wii does it, and it does it better with its added visual sensors. The PS3s senses movement, bu...

I love the design, very nice. Some things I'd change would be to make it extend to the sides futher, either by just adjusting to the window, or at least design it for a 1024x768 monitor. My monitor is 1440x900 (widescreen) so I have as much white space as content. Also the side bar seems to be force...

I have a friend that works at Best Buy and he said yesterday they had some PS3s, but they still sold more 360s. I don't think they sold out of either though. Its not christmas any more, so I don't know why you guys expect them to be selling out. Most people who wanted one for Bluray or the few games...

butters, the current top of the line card, the 8800GTX debuted at $649 a month ago and can be had at about $559 at newegg right now. The next Radeon is supposed to have an MSRP of $630. If people can justify the price of one of these, its not that much harder to do two ;) . And don't forget that the...

I am disappointed that they have purposefully crippled AGP stuff ever since PCIe came around. I have a 7800GS AGP and its fairly crippled compared to a GT PCIe card, yet it cost more (I paid $270 back in September). It still runs all games out today very well though, even at 1440x900. However you gu...

Media can easily last 20 years if stored properly. I know I have floppies that are over 10 years old that still have their data, and I'm in no way careful with those. It would be silly to think that my games from back then can still hold their saves, but Nintendo loses all their code. And no, its no...

I have yet to buy anything, but I will buy Gunstar Heroes as soon as I stop being lazy. I'm disappointed with the selection, and disappointed that Nintendo isn't really adding anything to these games. A year ago I would have been fine with it, but in the past year, Microsoft has been bringing plenty...

Well yes there are a few more exlusive titles, as far as I know the Final Fantasy games are still mostly exclusive to PS3...and of course Gran Turismo. But I was just listing games that interesting me, namely GTA and Halo. I will definately get GT5 and MGS4. Although I have yet to play Snake Eater e...
