Relating to this, how come the 360 is the only one of the next gen consoles that isn't pre-compatible for wireless?  Both my Wii and PS3 run off my wireless router without any addons so how come the 360 can't do it without the wireless adapter?

This is probably a retarded question but I really have no idea.

Also, I agree, just use the ethernet cable, the adapter price is silly.

I have no clue either, and it's pretty retarded. And yea, only certain Xbox1 games are compatible in the 360(only the major title games like Halo 2, Grand Theft Auto, etc). But you don't need the hard drive from xbox(is that what you were saying?). The HDD 360 comes with is compatible with those(though you may need a xbox live update I am not sure).

Nice, so your entire arguement that its not going to be one of the most attractive and popular games ever made, is because its not YOUR cup of tea.

well okay, i really don't like halo but that didn't stop it.

Not just that, I only recently heard about it. People I have talked to don't seem to be interested either.

Hahaha! 2 hours!? Took me less than 5 minutes.

I want the remote so I can watch my Xvids n' stuff without having to untangle my Xbox pad every time.

Well I had issues with my motherboard, took me that long to figure out what the problem was.

Wireless adapter (I'm not dealing with Ethernet or link sys or cables or stuff.)

I would advise against that, but it's my opinion. I have a 12 month old son and a wireless router(have a Wii, 360, xbox 1, and 2 PC's that go into the router). But the 360 is the only wired connection. The wireless adapter is freaking ridiculous($100USD, wtf?) in price, I bought the router and two wireless adapter cards for the PC's and only cost me roughly $100. I wanted my 360 wireless as my son tries to eat the wire and pull the 360 off the entertainment center, but yea.. now I just ran the wire along the top of the wall downstairs to save my $100.

Also you can't get a 360 without Oblivion man! One of the first games I bought with mine a few years ago, and I still go back and play it from time to time(way over 200 hours clocked in altogether).

Simple question for y'all. Has anyone used the Xbox media remote thing? If so, does it act just like a controller? I mean, does it actually function outside of the DVD player? I'm thinking about getting one 'cause my Xbox is basically just my Xvid player now and I need to know if I'll be able to control my mod's dashboard with it.

I'm talking about the Xbox 1, remember that old thing?

Yea, but it's pointless now. Why waste $20? I modded my xbox 1, only took about 2 hours. Plays any DVD's without the remote, emulates; NES/SNES/Sega/Mamex/N64/PS1/Atari/plus some other oddities. Still using the original Harddrive that came with it though, so I don't have much room(still managed to fit around 100NES games/1600 SNES/couple hundred Sega/ and one xbox game(Star Wars Battle Front 2). Not sure about the legalities so I wont provide any links, but I used whats called the "hot swap" method where no mod chip or anything is needed(free, but kinda hard to do).

LBP is going to be one of the best games ever made.

Weird I can't find that post I made? Anyways, hardly. I read a few previews for that as one of my friends was thinking about getting it and asked my opinion, not my cup of tea. Though I am sure it may appeal to some drugged up people.

Patience.  When Little Big Planet comes out I'll be kicking myself for not having a ps3.

ROFl, little big planet? Uh no..

Not bad, but E-machines blow. I have never bought a pre-built comp(family has though), I build my own. It's generally cheaper, and you know exactly what you get.

Uh, where is this article? Last time I checked, AMD was struggling to keep up with Intel. I got a new computer half a year ago and unfortunately went with AMD because I didn't know Intel would had been the better choice. Maybe it's different now though, I dunno. I'm not really all that well educated on processors but I'm sure someone with more knowledge on the situation can help you choose which processor to pick. I also think that going with 4 gigs of ram could be a good idea.

http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-10442_7-6389077-1.html

That's one spot, just search AMD vs. Intel in google lol. But yea, to start off with I was doing the 2gigs(the mobo has 4 slots, 2 gigs = 2 slots) and as I get money plan to upgrade to 4gb. Also to note, I have used Asus mobo's for years now, and have had no problems(current PC uses a Asus A7n8x-x mobo and is 3 years old). I decided Asus since I had good luck in the past, and am leary about trying new company's.

Oh yea, at work today our instructor was talking about a customer's HDD. He kept saying 250gb of memory, we all assumed RAM and were thinking what the hell. He was talking about how 250gb of memory would be a thing of the past by next year, and how consumers are demanding more and more(with up to a terabyte now). I was thinking what the hell 250gb of RAM will last years into the future rofl. After class he got hounded on lol.

edit: Hrm, just realized some of those reviews are almost 2 years old. I may look into pentiums actually, I have never had a Pentium processor though so have no clue what the differences are. I use my PC for gaming(pretty hardcore), and like to play newest games on at least medium-high settings. I mean 3.4 ghz/w dual-core seems like a good processor(current is a single-core with only 2.1ghz), but I don't know.

he had other flaws. he was heavily.. into some religion, i think, or polical perspective or something

he just argued a hell of a lot about everything.

also hes still pretty pro-xbox

Yea, I like my xbox a little to much lol. Now I am more into PC's than consoles, as my job requires it. On ocassion I play on my 360, but some of my friends have a PS3 and that seemed pretty sweet also. And yea, I am still a strong Christian believer and I argued that a lot with the "does God exist" type of topics. But I learned it's stupid to argue about others belief's over the internet, they are not going to change. So now I will basically just state my view, and drop out of a topic as I can. But yes, I was an ass..

MaGiCbUsH u had better watch youre back around me because when i hold a grudge i nevewr let it go 

It's just funny, cause 3 years is a long time(at least for me, I am only 21). I basically wont argue with people anymore, and am way less biased as I have had my share of bullshit over the past 3 years.

Full AA? What are we talkin' here? 4x? 8x? 16x?

Edit: Also, I'm running sli with 4 hdds and a dvdrw and 4 extra case fans and I'm doing fine on my 600w, so 700w sounds like plenty.

thanks for the input all.

You forget MagicBush, it is seemingly impossible for personalities to change on the internet! Remember guys, you were all ridiculous retards at one point or another, not saying MaGicBush was though since I avoided all that crap a few years back.

Anyway, welcome back. Have fun, post lots, etc.

Lol that's true, I guess since I have not used the net in a long time(been busy with work/kid etc) that mine did change.

Jesus christ, why didn't we permaban you?

You guys are sad, that was almost 4 years ago when I was stupid.. I was still in highschool, you guys hold grudges way to hard..

Get a life.

Crysis will run fine almost perfect on that graphics card. Benchmarks show that you'll get around 35 FPS with no AA, and around 23 FPS with full AA at a 1600x1200 resolution. But you're not really interested in Crysis so that doesn't really apply here.
You're current PC is actually almost the same as mine, Magicbush. I have an AMD XP 3400+, with the same graphics card and 1GB of RAM. I'm thinking of doing an upgrade myself.
By the way, does anybody know if there's a huge difference between the Intel Quad Core, Dual Core, or AMD's new processors? I'm thinking of getting a Quad Core, but I'm not sure if it's really worth the extra money.

Thanks for looking that up. I saw a article on the net about Intel vs. AMD, for next-gen processors. It had around 6 pages worth of different tests/benchmark tests. The new AMD processors blew the intel away, and they are much cheaper(almost half the price of Intel processors of same speed).  I think Intel stuff is more for servers, and business type processes whereas AMD is more for the average joe playing games.

Oh, is 'anime dad of peru' Chef?

Yea, I am not really interested in Crysis. I don't like games that rely completely on graphics, mostly my current PC is outdated.. I can't run TF2 on highest settings, and some new games don't even make it(which is sad, my PC is only 2 years old and at that time it could run every game on the market at highest settings). If I added another card in SLI and another stick of RAM I could get Crysis on one of the highest settings, I am getting a motherboard this time that I can upgrade unlike last time.

Here's another source...

Noriyoshi Oba: I don't think it's such a violent game! [laughs] The Skies of Arcadia sequel is in the planning stages at the moment

. And this was from 2003, so it should be getting fairly close to done(well, some games take like 6 years I suppose..)

I had a PS1 and it died after I owned it for about 2 month's, I had played Final Fantasy 8 about 50 hours worth when it died. I got so pissed I through it on the ground, and then about 2 weeks later managed to sell it in a garage sell. That's the story behind why I am such a xbox nerd, every since that I have never bought a Sony product since(not just that, two of my friends had Sony products that crapped out also. One was a PS2, and the other just bought a PS3 and the blu-ray player sucks on it which for $600 I would expect that to work..). Other than Sony, I have never had a console or for that matter even a game or controller/memory card mess up. I have owned the following; Gameboy, NES, Sega, N64, Xbox, Xbox360, Wii, and of course the PS1.

I Guild Wars and the Factions expansion, I use to play ALOT(clocked in over 100 hours). But once I got a character up to level 20(If I remember right he was a Ranger/Mesmer), my character totally sucked it up in PvP. So I started another, then got disctracted and stopped playing basically because my character sucked. Then I bought the Factions when it came out, played again maybe another 20-30 hours or so and quit again. Last I played was about 6 month's ago, but I am starting to get back into it again.

*Edit: Woah, how many expansions are out now? I have the original, and Factions.. Factions just came out like a year ago when I bought it.*
