If it's a flat surface-mount connector with a broken flip/latch: Using a razor/X-acto knife, I once layered scotch tape over a tiny flat cable in a Nintendo DS with a broken connector. I layered it so that the thickness quickly "ramped up" as you moved away from the end with contacts but then...

Is there a list of repair services offering true solder reballing? I want to find one that will do it with more flexible lead solder. Screw RoHS... no one is licking the board and I don't intend to ever throw it away. My 60GB launch unit finally gave up the ghost earlier today. When turned on I...

I don't see any mention of "The Fugitive" on Blu-Ray having the staff person accidentally visible in one scene despite the Special Edition DVD extra being included that goes on and on about the effort they went through the digitally remove the person from that scene. They probably only did it at...

I started look for a SIXAXIS at Fry's and frys.com only days after this and I had no idea this was going on. I was just thinking "Huh. I could have sworn Fry's had these a few weeks ago and now they aren't even on the site." Long story short, I can't even find a deal on eBay (freakin'...

You are beyond idiotic. First is your failure at reading comprehension. Notice, I didn't even touch on the "outdated" comment until AFTER I had corrected the person's identification of the engine used. Now, your response seems to indicate your thought process: Doom 3 is old therefore Doom 3's...

Of course... and it's not just me (read up on the critical reception). Your frame of reference must have been from the crappy 360 version for such a reaction.

FWIW, it's $34.90 at GoGamer.com and it isn't even in their current "48hr Madness" deal... $50 on 360. I expect it to be even less in one of the next 48 Hour Madness-es. First of all, it's the Doom 3 engine (not "Quake"); second... "outdated?" It's OpenGL and fully extensible to use any...

FWIW, it's $34.90 + $2.99 S&H ( at GoGamer.com and it isn't even in their current "48hr Madness" deal... $50 on 360. I expect it to be even less in one of the next 48 Hour Madness-es. The shipping isn't so bad considering that I almost always find a few things I want to order together. First...

I thought it ripped off every FPS ever made and then some (War of the Worlds) but, unoriginal as it was, it was still a good game in the end. Other games can rip off from the best and still end up being total crap (TimeShift; bleugh!). Have you seen any non-GH versions at Target? The DD deal...

Dammit. Fry's had it for $19.90 for several months... original box too (Greatest Hits sticker). I saw it a week ago and they still had tons, so I was in no hurry to buy when I returned two days ago. Unfortunately, they were all mysteriously replaced by "red box" GH versions for $28.XX (nearly...

Except that it is so often seen for $9.99 and can right now be had with the complete Orange Box for $14.98 at the same store (in store 2 Circuit City). ;) Worth every penny at any price. Anyway, the PC Mass Effect is $20 in store every day @ Circuit City.

My point EXACTLY. Dude was clearly trying to switch to BD and has the HD-DVD version (he didn't even have a BD player yet). He listed it in his list of stuff that he is going to keep due to it not being available on both formats. He was even reluctantly offering his HD-DVD player for trade...
