It is a pretty slick deal. It would be interesting to see if they use this to pad their sales though...

"Students will be able to find the one that’s right for them based on the features, color, size and price they want."

I laugh at people who buy a computer based on the color.

STK0264718d ago

While choosing a PC based on its colour is laughable, the same can't be said about the people at my local Futureshop (basically a BestBuy for those outside Canada) trying to convince me that a particular laptop is the best fit for me because of its colour, despite the fact that its specs are way below what I said I needed...

Kakkoii4717d ago

Well let's say you have a few computers with the same specs, but different cases or color, you're saying it's wrong then to choose what look you like best?

But yeah, choosing on color alone would be stupid.

Back to School??? School is just winding down... not starting.

awiseman4718d ago

Its probably aimed at college students, and for them the summer term is beginning, I am one of them.

But that is one crazy promotion.

Buckshot Roulette (PC) Review | VGChartz

VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "Ultimately, Buckshot Roulette is a fun little distraction that the former stats teacher in me wishes had been fleshed out just a touch more. There’s enough content here to entertain for an hour or so, and while it won’t be the best hour of gameplay you experience this year, it’ll probably be one of the more memorable. Give it a try, and support the developer (Mike Klubnika), so that he can make a sequel where you play Poker against a horrifically toothy version of Clifford the Big Red Dog."

Wanted: Dead VR is Amazing (UEVR Mod from PrayDog)

CG writes: We put Solei’s action game into VR using Praydog’s UEVR mod for a really neat third-person Wanted: Dead VR game. What’s great is that it just works with no tweaking required, other than perhaps renaming the OpenVR folder if it fails to inject. The experience is great as a gamepad, third-person action game. Due to the nature of the gameplay, you need to be able to see enemies who sneak up behind you, so the third-person view is perfect for this.
