CoH has been out longer than WoW has (by about six months), yet has had only about half the updates. In addition, the WoW updates tend to be much more robust than other MMORPG updates. Nostalgia time - I remember playing Asheron's Call way back in the day, and their updates added new content...

Power Blade and Shatterhand are great games along the lines of Ninja Gaiden and Megaman. The Magic of Scheherazade was a fun game that had equal parts Final Fantasy-esque RPG with Zelda-like action sequences. And if you want a good sci-fi strategy game, I absolutely loved Overlord.

It's not pointless, but in order to advance much further beyond level 60, you need to get the better gear. The better gear only drops in high-end instances, and require 40 players to get through. And it can't be just ANY 40 players, you have to take a certain number of each class (or type of...

They dropped the price because the expansion is due soon. However, the expansion is currently priced $40, which is unreasonable IMO.

I read that only the host needs to have the deck.

That's what happend with mine. No error lights, just stopped working. Time to call MS for that return box.

The single player can be infuriating thanks to a mega-cheap boss. But multiplayer, especially the offline multiplayer, is great fun. Good to see some 360 games coming down in price.

OT but XP does have it's own BSoD. It usually only shows up due to serious software problems or hardware failure though (unlike Win9x, which kicked them out if it couldn't read a CD).

Outpost always does that. I don't think they have a true pre-order system, or at least their email notification system is not set up to deal with pre-orders. I've pre-ordered from them maybe a half dozen times or so and I always get the backorder message. Only time it's a pain is when you...

They use different voltages, but I've seen many older motherboards with two sets of RAM slots so they can support either one. That being said, if you're using PC133 now, a DDR400 upgrade will likely go in the other set of slots on your motherboard. The two types of RAM are made differently...

Pulled the trigger on this one. I'm not a big racing fan, but the price is right. :) Plus I want to check out all those RR6 downloads on XBL.

1) Unbuffered is what you want. That works fine in nearly all personal machines. Buffered (aka registered) memory is usually only for servers. 2) Dual chipset basically means you are getting two sticks of RAM that will equal the advertised capacity. It's just an easy way to order memory...

It's a sad day when a classic like Scramble is considered really obscure.

My understanding is that the warranty transfers to the replacement system. I got my 360 back yesterday, and a letter from MS said that they had already transferred my registration, etc from my old unit to the new one, since the one I was sent as a replacement is different.

Just about what I did. I'm glad I didn't jump on it just because it was Rockstar and only $40. Easily the biggest 360 disappointment for me yet.

My box surprisingly showed up today. Total of 15 days from my initial call to system return. The system I got in return has a late February manufacture date, so maybe it'll last longer. Even had the plastic still over the infrared receiver. That extended warranty still looks really good...

I have the CE and while the extras are nice, they aren't necessary. If you aren't interested in the lore behind the game universe or the behind-the-scenes stuff, go for the regular edition.

My understanding is it takes three business days to get there, two business days to repair, and another three business days to get back. Mine goes out tomorrow so I'll start the clock.

I can't say for sure on the original Xbox, but the 360 will not give you the options unless you have the HD cables hooked up and the HD switch turned on (physically on one end of the cables). I imagine the orginal Xbox is the same.

I noticed this too. Sounded like I was calling a barn in Bangalore.
