CAG Fixes Xbox 360 Controller's D-pad
 | CAG walletandgromice has come up with a new method for fixing the Xbox 360 controller's greatest weakness, a mushy d-pad. In addition to the old sanding method, this new fix involves adding a bit of plastic. He's posted instructions in the forums, but I recommend using that for questions & comments, and heading over to his more detailed guide on Instructables.com for the nitty-gritty. |

GameStop To Acquire Rhino Video Games?
|
UPDATE: Confirmed. CAG FSUEagles is reporting a rumor that GameStop is about to purchase Rhino Video Games, a chain of video game stores located in the Southeast USA and currently owned by Blockbuster, Inc. "I found out this afternoon that Rhino has been bought out by Gamestop. It was announced to the Store Managers this afternoon. Starting January 14th, Rhino's will be converted to Gamestops."
hxhawkeye adds,"As an ex-Rhino assistant manager, I can confirm that the stores did a somewhat-unnecessary overhaul of fixtures and layouts a few months back that mimicked the GS/EB setup. Price stickers went to the same format as well. The buyout makes perfect sense all around."
kjauburn reports,"I am hoping he is wrong, but it makes perfect sense. Blockbuster has been trying to slow losses for over 2 years, thinking they can catch NetFlix in time. Last year they dumped 4 chains in January, including Mr. Movies & Movie Trading Company. Any asset that can get BBV a penny that isn't part of the core is for sale right now. As for GameStop, it blocks any other chain from getting into the southeast market really. There was a rumor gamecrazy was considering buying Rhino last summer."

A CAG Proves Wiimote Wrist Strap is Useful
 | Posted on the CAG forums, Ugamer_X shares the following, "When the [Nintendo Wii] warning screen appeared today saying "Attach wrist strap and keep your distance from other objects in the room," I laughed at such a silly proposition. I don't need a shaq-fuing wrist strap, I'm a man dammit. One shattered laptop screen and thrown Wiimote later, I've changed my position on the issue." |
