My friends list was deleted some how...gonna have to add you all back.

I hate it when updates go bad; have to reformat and all that bs. Too bad you can't do that with the 360...I hope they have a fix for ya.

I got a copy of Crackdown with the Beta on it yesterday just so I could play the Beta. The MP is more difficult than it is in Halo 2 in my opinion. I believe they got rid of the auto aim. As others have mentioned, the controls take some time getting used to. The game is really fun though, I can't wait till the final product comes out either!

Why don't you troll on some other forum instead? FYI, I still see Core systems at the Wal-Marts here where I live.

Are you serious? They're showing anime again?! Aside from Robotech, when the Sci-Fi channel showed anime on Sat. nights way back when...it too helped me get into anime. Well, this gives me an excuse to start watching the Sci-Fi channel again.

Well when they say the "best possible version we are allowed to show" it makes you wonder...makes me wonder anyway. Whatever though...as wolfx said...at least they're re-airing it.

I don't remember...which is why I asked what happened in the last five minutes. "Eureka will definitely re-air Saturday at 1 AM. We're looking in to the possibility of replay on the Fix, but we may not be able to due to rights restrictions. The re-broadcast of GITS will be pushed back by a week. I think some of the most hard core of you (i.e. the fan subbers) might still have a few issues with the broadcast but we are bringing you the best possible version we are allowed to show. We're sorry to all the fans. I hope you guys know that we would never intentionally screw up the finale to drive the ratings down. Even on April Fools this year, we showed the episodes twice on the fix and broadcast them the next week." - BrandMerrill (Admin on [AS] forums) Here's the link...!

What happened in the last five minutes again? Edit: Apparently AS will be re-airing the last episode in it's entirety (editing out all of the non-PC stuff supposedly?) at 1 am this Saturday because of all the angry viewers.

Heh...that's where I get a little iffy...with the forums. But fair enough; cheers.

Well, I ask not cause I don't believe ya, if that's what you're wondering...I'd just like to read up on it myself. I generally browse through Anandtech.com and TomsHardware.com, but haven't been able to find more info on Barcelona/Agena/Kuma through those sites.

I only went with the Windsor because of the 1MB L2 cache on each core; I don't believe Brisbane has the 1MB L2 cache on both cores. And if that's the case with Barcelon/Agena/Kuma...I'll probably wait for AM2+ then (AM3 will probably be too rich for my blood). Where'd you get your info on Barcelona if you don't mind me asking? I'd like to read up more on the chip. Also, what were the other cases that you'd recommend? Thanks again!

Hmmm, well the drive on NewEgg was getting great reviews. What drive would you recommend then?

You've noticed that big of difference? One 8800 GTX card will outperform two 7900 GTXs in SLI. Why spend all of that cash only to wait a generation for a card that'll top those two cards together? It's a gimmick I tell ya!

At least two or three external 5.25" bays; at least two 3.5" external bays; the more internal bays the better I guess; no PSU; front usb and audio ports (IEEE 1394 optional); not clear acrylic; basic looking; 120mm fan would be nice but not required. As for color...black...two-tone...silver/grey. Thanks again. Also, the following is what's going to be in my new system (haven't bought any of it yet; still subject to change): ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI (I'm not getting the mobo because of SLI, it just so happens to have a lot of the features I want.) AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Windsor 2.6GHz Socket AM2 EVGA GeForce 7950GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SeaSonic S12-430 ATX12V 430W PSU Seagate Barracuda 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive SAMSUNG Black 1.44MB 3.5" Internal Floppy Drive Pioneer 18X DVD±R DVD Burner Black SATA I had thought about going with a Core 2 Duo, but AMD should be coming out with their new chips (Barcelona, Kuma, and Agena) sometime this year or the next. It hasn't been confirmed yet (from what I've read) that these chips will fit in an AM2 socket and be compatible, but here's hoping!

I was just skimming through some of the posts. I keep seeing the GeForce 8000 series card brought up. There's no real need to get a DX10 card right now. I don't know of any applications that require DX10. If anything, I'd wait till DX10 is more mainstream and there are actual programs that require DX10. Also, SLI is a gimmick, don't buy into it!!! Wouldn't waste my time buying a pre-built PC either. One could get the exact same PC from Dell from...say NewEgg.com...at a much cheaper price. I'd never pay more than $150 for a mobo, and never more than $250 for a video card. Also, there's no real point in upgrading to Vista either. It's pretty much a face lift to XP; plus I've heard there are lots of driver problems with Vista, and not every thing works as it should. If anything, wait till there are applications that require DX10 and till Vista has ALL the bugs worked out. All of my colleagues in the IT department, at the college I go to, all agree that Vista isn't worth it right now. There's nothing Vista can do that XP can't do...other than use DX10. Forgive me if I've repeated a lot of what someone else has said...like I said I've just been skimming the thread. I do have a question for you other tech gurus though. I'm looking to buy a new case for a PC I'm building. I'd prefer if it weren't tool-less for I've been reading a lot about how flimsy some of those tool-less cases are. ATX is the form factor...Full Tower or Mid Tower would be great. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Are you serious? She gets sexually assaulted? Macross 7 is the only one of the series I have yet to see. ...I would have never thought there'd be something like that in any Macross series. Wasn't Macross 7 geared more towards teenagers and younger or something?

My 360 gets A LOT of use and I don't have too many problems with it. When I leave a game in there, boot up to the dashboard and then start the game from there, I get "dirty disc" errors sometimes...and sometimes the 360 doesn't even recognize that there's a disc in there...but those two problems don't occur often...if at all. Moreover, I've never had a problem when I've inserted a disc...nor have I ever had over-heating problems...nor the 3 red rings. I'm not trying to dismiss your friend's problem or anything...just that I don't know of a single piece of hardware that doesn't have it's problems. Be it gaming consoles...PCs...or Macs...they all have problems one time or another. Hell, I consider myself a computer nerd...and so do my friends. I maintain my PC very well...defragmenting often...making sure I have the latest updates...clean installs....AV...no spy/malware...you name it. Yet, I have problems with my PC every now and then because the software and hardware is never perfect. So to you nay-sayers about the 360...wake up and realize that there isn't a single piece of hardware out there that doesn't have it's problems.

Do you have the numbers to back up this claim that it's a "major flop" and quotes from Kawamori that he thought "that Macross II...really really sucked"? As to why Macross II isn't canon...already been covered. All of these "it really sucks" and "they didn't like it" remarks shouldn't even be in these responses as an answer. They're just biased opinions...not facts. Just like me saying Macross II 0wnz! is not a fact but rather an opinion. There's no need for those comments.

I'm kicking myself in the ass right now (and have been for some time now) because I never grabbed a copy of the FX Perfect Edition DVD. Any updates as to where one could find a copy? I don't have any Region Free DVD players, so the official R2 release is out of the question for me. The NLA fansubs just don't cut it for me anymore...I want to cry!!! Thanks.

So you're gonna get your money back only to spend that plus $200 more for a paperweight? Why not just send in your 360 and get it repaired? I'm sure it's still under warranty. I've had mine for 3 months now and God only knows how many hours I've spent on it...yet it still runs perfectly fine. It's one of the older models too.

You must have been watching the filler crap. Naruto isn't all that bad if you've watched the manga-adapted anime...not the filler crap. I've said once and I'll say it again: Fillers - the worst idea/invention ever. Naruto is a lot better than DBZ...in terms of plot/story/animation/action/etc.

Haha, the game can be tough. The only Live games I have are Halo 2, Gears of War, Rainbow Six: Vegas, and Call of Duty 3. Ashmedai is my gametag; always looking for someone to game with. (Gaming by yourself is not that much fun if you ask me).

I dunno if you've found the answer to your question but I think the track is Mou-Ichido-Love You. It's the song Ishtar sings to her people at the end...that's the one you're looking for, right?. The very last song they play on MII is Promise. I forget the name of the song played before Promise. I have a question of my own! I've been listening to Dogfighter a lot lately...almost religiously. I haven't been able to find out who the guitarist is, nor who composed the track. Would anyone know who the guitarist is and who composed the track? Thanks!!!

If your computer (screen) is under warranty then by all means send it back in and get it replaced. As for screen protectors...never used 'em.

I guess no one here is familiar with SD Project or Dattebayo then? Supposedly "Shippuuden" means 'hurricane.' Dunno if that's correct or not...anyway. As others have mentioned, it's just a 3 yr time jump with the anime being back on track with the manga. (Fillers - the worst idea/invention ever.) ...Episode three is out.
