I had a Sony XBR that did not last very long. I think you will be hard pressed to convince most people that Sony is a shitty brand, and that XBRs are shitty-est product line of the Sony brand, but you can try. Regardless, I will NOT ever be buying another. Unless you are the grandson of a...

By chance, have you recently played an old game with one of the early versions of SecuRom? Or was that Starforce that used to overwrite the firmware on optical drives?

Above poster mentions Might & Magic V. Good series. I would recommend getting hold of one of its predecessors, like #3 or even #1 (I heard #4 was a letdown, so I never bought it). Your machine should be more than capable of handling Might & Magic III.

I did not see your 360 in that pic. Is it in doorstop mode, holding the window or door open for ventilation. joking... It is interesting how electronics used to last decades, and now generally critically fails within a few years (or months).

Ages 15 and under can not generally legally certify anything. Ditto for those "under the influence"...

No, of course not. The parents just drop off the kiddie at Best Buy, unsupervised, so they shop unbothered next door. Jeez, you sir/mam are never going to make a good parent if you do not know how to neglect your spawn. Although, I think the Barefoot Bandit stole a plane and few to the next...

... and that you already know that the trade-in game value of ANY game is never worth over $1.99, even if the game is sold out nationwide during the release month, but can still be flipped and resold for $55 since a $5 discount for a scratched up disc is irresistible to customers.

Pointless? Not a all. When Fallout 3 was announced, I replayed Fallout 1 and 2, and finally finished Tactics. I even replayed Wasteland. When Starcraft 2 beta shutdown between beta phase 1 and 2, I replayed Starcraft 1. I still occasionally replay Xcom 1 and 3, MOO2, at least once every...

Do they bother me? Only if I paid for the game. Whether that be initial cost (retail or download) or monthly/yearly fees. In-game ads in Freeware. Well, that is okay. I have not seen it recently, was if was used a lot several years ago, with the re-release of older games, especially in...

Lawsuit (although in OP's case, he basically has no grounds). Remember that the 360 only got "fixed" (1 year general warranty extension and 3 year RROD warranty extension, and a slow 3 year re-engineering blind trial & error process of redesign) after 24+ months of compounding legal actions...

If you read Sam Walton's book, the Woolworth generation "trained" the Walmart generation. Sam and other Walmart-competitor founders started their careers at Woolworth and the other 5&Dime stores of that era. Woolworth failed to change with the times, and got left behind.

Ding ding ding! Winner! (translation: I totally agree with your first paragraph) Not many people have even heard of Arcanum. Their loss. In addition: Install DosBox and run Xcom1, Xcom3, (Master of Orion) MMO1, MMO2. I do not remember if the early Command & Conquer games require DosBox...

Munch on this!

Some sort of screw up with Retailers ordering the Fable 2 Platinum version (includes the DLC) and getting the old version (no DLC) instead. Target is not the only one effected.

Check the employee bathroom, err, reading room. :bouncy:

The console fanboys will always think that their console system is cheaper, more stable, more versatile, has better games, invented the multiplayer genre, etc. That is okay. Just let them continue to think that. Never try to educate a close-minded console fanboy. It will only frustrate you...

Are you sure you did not miss something in the translation, like "mega awesome funtime" after the word "Super" Okay, okay, I'll go away now...

Fallout 3, Fable 2, undecided

Fallout 3 Fable 2

If you are still paying the $30 price for a used copy after 9 months, then you need to reconsider your choice of suppliers. You obviously have Internet service, so mail order should always be an option. Even if you live in the middle of nowhere with no B&M storefronts within 500 miles and...
