Isn't this supposed to hit in like 3 days? Can a mutha ****a get a benchmark in dis b***h?
Every system has issues, man. I worked for a couple of years at an independently owned video game store franchise, & the situation was reversed. We CONSTANTLY got calls asking if we fixed PS2s, because of disc read error problems. Xbox problems were much less frequent, & Gamecubes were built like Tonka trucks.
Personally, I have never had an issue with any Xbox 360 I've owned, & I had a day 1 launch unit. I have upgraded to an elite, & then a red elite, because it...
One thing that would have greatly improved the GTA 4 experience is a settings slider for the frequency of calls you recieve from friends and girlfriends. Sometimes, I actually enjoyed hanging out with some of the friends, or taking out one of the chicks. But I hated getting calls when I was just trying to drive around and have fun. Being penalized for ignoring a friend's call when you're trying to find all the flying rats, or do the stunt jumps was f***ing irritating. I get that they were try...
I love these games. Too bad the first 2 aren't in 16.9, man.
If you buy that 295, you should be able to upgrade for the price difference if that card comes out by Christmas.
As in tapeout, or tape-out.
It's an old term for the final design stage, meaning the blueprints for a printed circuit board (PCB) are prepared to be sent to the manufacturer to begin production.
Tapped out means several other things, but not the above.
....but it'll also undoubtedly cost more. I prefer Nvidia, but if it's a $500 card, it'd better at least keep up step for step with a 295.
A 295 level card with lower power consumption & DirectX 11 compatibility for future titles sounds good to me.
Then I can get another one in a month for SLI, if I'm feeling especially stupid.
"Only 30% better" at launch against a fantastic Nvidia card, previously the most powerful single GPU solution on the market, that has had several performance improving drivers updates, at a significantly lower launch e-price sounds pretty great to me.
Once games that truly take advantage of the new capabilities of this card are released, it'll likely leave the 285 in the dust.
I love my 285, but I intend to put one(possibly 2)of these babies in the rig I'...
HAHAHAHA
I own a DSi and I have Scribblenauts preordered, so I did something I rarely do & checked out the ROM. Not illegal if you own the product, to my knowledge. I had been considering cancelling my preorder because money is a bit tight this pay period, but this is a MUST BUY.
This is the version I preordered. Got a great deal on Amazon. In the last year I've been converted to a half pc/half console gamer. I have the PC versions of Fallout 3 & GTA 4 as well as the XBOX360 versions, & the visual fidelity on the PC versions is incredible by comparison.
My only problem with PC gaming is that games are more likely to have issues on day one than console releases.
It took a good bit for the PC GTA 4 to smooth out.
I'll stick with my BC 60 gig launch system.
Maybe I'll pick up a slim as an extra around income tax season, along with a super elite.
Actually, I preordered the PC version using the coupon code from Amazon for 39.99.
It doesn't hit until 9/15, but my store (I run a Blockbuster) will get the 360 version the day before it comes out. I'll play it for free, then replay the PC version.
Did the same thing with Red Faction. Despite the glitches, I like Games For Windows Live. Achievements, plus much better visuals, & mods.
Why bother?
There's actual pornography on the internet.
It's abundant, free, & practically thrown in your face.
...is that it's the old chipset.
At least that's what I've read on various sites, such as the customer reviews on Newegg & Amazon.
I almost picked up this bundle, but opted for the Resident Evil Elite instead.
Still can't DL the content I already paid for, 24 hours later.
No,it costs the same as on XBOX 360.
The requirements to run it well are steep.
...who thinks it's pretty obvious that Christwire is a parody site?
I mean, c'mon, read the articles. They're #$%^ing hilarious.
It looks better on PSP, plays better on DS.
I'm going to get the much less expensive iphone version when it comes out.
