Picked up a DS Lite Headset for 3.74 yesterday, a Psyclone 360 VGA cable for $5, and a PSP hard case for $5. For the PSP Phat, they had about 3 of the kits for $10 that include a USB data/charging cable, case, screen protectors, slide in charging station, grip with an extended life battery...

Could be a as the GBA was to the GB/GBC. Still play the old DS/GBA titles, but have more CPUs, GPU, and hardware anti-aliasing and/or texture filtering so the old games don't like shit. I don't see why not...

Which of the two PSPs is more comfortable for long-term gaming use? Which model do most of you recommend? Thanks!

From my experience, dealing with hundreds or more drives, I'd rate them for Desktop drives as such Western Digital>Seagate>Hitachi/Samsung>>>>>>Maxtor, especially the thin series of drives they released years ago.

Monster does not make the best quality analog cables, not even close. Are they made with broadcast quality wire and connectors from Canare or Belden? I didn't think so. Bluejeans cable is the way to go if you want high-end, quality cable. Will you see a difference in picture quality vs a...

I'm about an hour into the game. The dialogue style and options remind me a lot of Riddick. The graphics are great, and the frame rate is fluid.

Knowing the right people is a great thing :) The game is in my console right now. The intro sequence is sick... More impressions later.

No, the solder fails because they used really crappy lead free solder, which develops razor thin cracks in the joints; also, there is sometimes an uneven distribution of the solder. This is why desoldering, and reballing both the CPU and GPU will permanatly fix the problem. The GPUs used in...

HDMI isn't a big deal. There's so many peeiple out there that expect some huge graphics improvement, when in reality, they'll be little to no difference at all. Also, the 65nm 360s will just run cooler. They won't be any more reliable, unless Microsoft does a better job with the soldering...

Better response time on an LCD? That's impossible. Better color reproduction? Please, cite me one reliable source that will back you up on this. There's a reason why artists and graphics professionals use CRT displays. Geometry issues? Yes, that is an inherent flaw in CRTs; higher end CRTs...

A properly calibrated CRT blows away LCDs in response time, black levels, viewing angles, contrast ratio, and accurate color reproduction. I will replace my current, ISF calibrated CRT HDTV, with another used CRT if it dies or with a SED set, if it's available.

Checked my local BestBuy, there was NOTHING, not one title. Either they pulled them all off the shelves, or they're just all really old games and sold out long ago.

We won't be seeing Worms for awhile I'd imagine. They're still working on fixing the bugs and getting it through the certification process. http://www.xboxic.com/news/2392

Can we please thank Shiningslade for all of his hard work, and let him continue to maintain a K-mart thread, if he's up to it? He's been maintaining the list for a very long time. He also probably spends more time at K-Mart than anyone in this forum that doesn't work for K-Mart.

For anyone that hasn't played Gain Ground... It's an awesome and underappreciated gem for the Sega Genesis. Co-op is especially good on it.
