    Is this a good starter tv?

    Another thing to consider for gaming TVs is input options. One advantage of going with a name brand is they generally have many more inputs than cheaper TVs. Even lower-end/smaller Sharp TVs, for example, have at least 2 HDMI inputs, 2 component, and 1 composite input. Make sure to check that...

    There may not be a 360 version. Is VF5 even coming out on 360 in Japan?

    Sega Virtua Stick High Grade Available Again?

    I just received my VSHG from play-asia yesterday, and after having some time to test it out, I haven't had any problems yet. The buttons and stick are quite sensitive and responsive, and I'm quickly getting used to playing with it. The USB cable is a bit on the short side, but any standard USB...

    When to buy a PS3?

    I mirror this sentiment. While it didn't affect my purchasing decision (I bought one recently), this is pretty much the only way I'll play FPS games on consoles. This option would really make playing the genre on the console a viable option for me, as I just don't enjoy playing these types of...

    Emotion Engine Removal?

    I just bought a PS3 a few days ago, with this as a significant factor in my purchasing decision. It's not just the backward compatibility that I care about, it's the ability to use that memory card peripheral to archive all my PS2 saves on the PS3 hard drive. The announcement of...

    Your biggest suprise this gen?

    I do share your sentiment regarding Microsoft's entry into the hardware market to an extent, but if Microsoft hadn't entered the market, I think it's very possible that Nintendo wouldn't have gone with their current strategy in order to differentiate themselves from Sony and Microsoft. This...

    Amazon Preorder Query (Contact, Final Fantasy III)

    Now that Amazon.com is directly selling games again, is anyone aware of their preorder pricing strategy? Specifically, I was looking at the DS games: Contact: $29.99 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000035XQ6/sr=1-1/qid=1155680283/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-3136899-6020041?ie=UTF8&s=videogames and...

    Revolution Name Revealed - Nintendo Wii? WTF?

    If a stupid name affects sales negatively, fewer games will be made. This may be bad for you and me, despite our purchase of the system being unaffected. Or I could just be talking out my ass. Good sir, you be the judge!

    Revolution Name Revealed - Nintendo Wii? WTF?

    Deceitful marketing... like the ps2 delivering toy story quality graphics? The ps3 creating the (dramatic reverb) 4TH DIMENSION? The xbox 360 having a normal 3-5% consumer electronics failure rate?! Well, I guess that wasn't technically marketing. If this was all a ruse, it would be some of...

    Quantum Physics theory...where to start reading?

    I took at quantum physics seminar at my university and I highly recommend one of the books we had to read: Schrodinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality. It's very good, and extremely interesting. Plus, it comes recommended from an actual physics prof.

    Nintendo Revolution NOT to support HD gaming.

    Thanks for correcting me. I'm kind of disappointed now. I buy quite a few DVDs and this won't do the industry any good. Sorry for being so adamant about the point, I thought the deal had been finalized. Oleander: I agree completely with you. The real decision to be made is whether you want...

    California Game Ban

    The kids whom this law is supposed to be protecting are presumably well under the age where they could get a job. The point has been made several times, but nearly everyone is ignoring it. How many 12 year old kids have $50 laying around. Those who have that kind of money were almost...
