The fact is Zune is facing an uphill battle, first of all it has to go against the iPods overwhelming popularity, and the popularity of iTunes. Also, as a 1st gen device, it's sure to have some bugs, personally, I would wait untill at least the 2nd generation of it.

back catalogues are always good. Although with the popularity of emulators, it will be interesting to see how popular it is.

I agree, psp > ds i can give a one word reason: homebrew

From what I've read, It's total crap, EA seriously needs to end this 'we should make a new game, let's make a sequal' mentality. I mean, cmon EA, a bunch of new cars doesn't make for a completely new game.

Ah, backward compatability FTW! This also seems to be one of the PS3's main selling points, as all previous PS games (both PS1 and PS2) will look better due to HD.

Um, why downgrade? homebrew works on firmware up to 2.8. www.noobz.eu

I agree that steam ruins some games, but for online only games such as CS, it's a great tool for viewing what the servers are like without actually opening the game etc. Although having to use it for HL2 is kind of annoying, considering you can't play it offline, and as for steam's offline mode...

Backward compatability is always a good thing. Although i have a bit of trouble seeing how it works with GC -> Wii, i mean, with such a radicaly different controller and all, or can you use GC controllers in the Wii?

I built my parents pc for about $500 (although we already had the monitor and keyboard and case etc) heres what it is: Gigabyte GA-K8VT mobo AMD Athlon64 3000 512MB kingmax DDR400 winfast px6600le standard PSU I guess the other stuff ccould be had for less than $500

Extension subjects. if you want an uber UAI, do extension courses

I disagree, 7800GS if you can afford it, my a6600TD runs well when it's overclocked:rofl:

Yup, I'm doing chemistry. Looks interesting, although hard.

fact is, the average person doesn't have a HD-TV.

Depends where you shop. If you go to a PC fair you might be able too, but you're taking a risk that something on't work and you wont be able to find the supplier again. If you're buying your parts from somewhere like Harvey Norman, you probably won't et a system like that for less than $2000

For me, one of my favourite things about the humble PC is overclocking (for those who don't know, it's making a piece of hardware run faster than it actually should). Some people will say it's bad, and in some cases it is, but if you have the right hardware, and a little bit of know-how, you...

Whilst to a kind of agree with you, i must at the same time point out that often a game engine will scale to run on low-end pc's, but still look awsome on the latest tech. Whilst it's simply not possible to have great graphics on a card thats 5 years old, just cause some new engine comes out...

The battery for PSP can last longer than 3 hours, just don't have the screen real bright all the time. i would have to say get the PSP.

I hate to be blunt, but Firefox is better. I shall list why: It is faster (seriously, IE is a slow browser) It has plug-ins for just about everything It has a built in spell checker It is more secure. IE is stealing it's ideas from the Firefox project (tabbed browsing has been around for ages)

Alienware's strong point is laptops, although you'll have a hard time getting one here (they only do surface deliveries in N/S America). I agree with their towers being overpriced, but their laptops are definately worth it. A while back i was looking for a laptop, and, even after price...

The way i see it, the Wii is in a league of it's own. Sure, it's the most underpowered next-gen console. But while Sony and Microsoft are busy trying to wow everyone with some flashy HD pictures, Nintendo is once again making something NEW and REVOLUTIONARY (excuse the pun). For example, I've...
