  1. Jerks at the MS repair center. Geez I feel for this guy. http://hawtymcbloggy.com/2008/02/28/anothe...d-by-microsoft/
  2. Not going to get into it regarding definition of failure rates. This ain't a gaming site and this ain't the Xbox thread. Now back to the regular PS3 news.
  3. http://kotaku.com/gaming/sixaxis/sony-conf...ment-214221.php Eh, five screws and a battery swap apparently or send in your controller for a swap. I can do either so I'm not bothered but it'd been easier if there was a battery cover. Stupid Sony design. Aren't you being a little generous with the 10% failure rate? At the peak of the RROD uproar it was ~30% from all sources not Microsoft and currently within the last few days the latest reports say failure rates are still possibly upwards of 16%. http://au.xbox360.ign.com/articles/855/855...mp;RSSid=855113 http://squaretradebuyerblog.typepad.com/sq...fail-rates.html
  4. Yo Azreal, I have that restraining order on you that you have to stay away from me by 500 meters. You don't know what I currently look like you stalker! Besides you know that head is too small. Not big enough to fit the ego! I have it. The Satelizer mode leaves much to be desired. Dangard Ace mode needs more articulation too. A Bandai SOC sculptor would have done the Super Robot more justice though. You know not the majesty of the Dangard. Anime magic kept to a minimum when transforming and Leiji Matsumoto's only Super Robot show. Plus the ending music is all win.
  5. Not by a long shot. Worst Super Robot would be this one..... http://www.tfu.info/2004/Autobot/OptimusPrime/robotmode2.jpg Let the TF hatred begin!
  6. From Robot Japan: http://robotjapan.proboards12.com/index.cg...read=1203865781 I expected Bandai to make this a SOC. Never expected Yamato to release this. To Yamato: This looks NOTHING LIKE ME. Get it right dammit!
  7. As long as the Destroid is of the same quality as the Giant Robo toys: SOLD!
  8. Why is it that when I go to SDCC Hasbro insists on releasing a version of Nemesis Prime?
  9. And it's a sweep. Paramount is now releasing on Bluray again. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/conten...c969933f25fc601
  10. Already have a thread regarding the MotoSlave. Continue discussion here. http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...0&start=260
  11. At work but I think this should work(dirty workaround). Create a new user (dummy account) and make sure both accounts are set to not autologin. This way everytime you launch your PS3 you'll have to choose your user first and it shouldn't default to your game demo and it's irritating music. I don't know if there's any settings that let you change where you start on autologin.
  12. If the friggin Home Media Magazine link would work I'd post it but apparently Universal has Officially jumped to Blu. now we wait for Paramount and Dreamworks to officially jump ship. http://forums.highdefdigest.com/showthread...4330&page=2
  13. Both my parents(70+) are the exact opposite of your mom. Think 12:00 flashing and you're about there. They can use all the basic functions(bare minimum basics- play stop rewind/ff) of a deck but ask them to navigate a menu system, forget it. Not going to happen. I spent a good 6hrs trying to get them to understand what "press the mouse button once/single click" before either they lost patience or I threw my hands in the air and gave up. Obviously they don't own a computer so DLC is out.
  14. I agree it will be BD vs DLC next. What the BDA have to do is educate people on just how large the movies files are on BD and how long it would take to download that over the web. It's going to be awhile before instant gratification on demand HD content (1080 with at least 5.1 support) is available.
  15. Excellent! One format, One player and a dancing bear. Let the mass adoption of HDM begin! (sorry but I just won the watercooler HD bet. I get a free lunch.)
  16. For me 3 things make the 80's show and any reimaging of it (ie. KR, Airwolf, A-Team, Magnum P.I, etc). 1) the loner characters/group (Michael Knight, Stringfellow Hawke, A-Team, Magnum) 2) the signature vehicle (suped up car, super helicopter, the Van, the Ferrari) 3) the theme music - plays during the pivotal point in the show They got 1 and 2 down. What this version lacked was.....the Knight Rider theme music. The moment you hear the theme music it pumps you up for the finaly. If they had the KR theme music during the car chase scene it would have felt like Knight Rider. Right now it feels like a generic bad spy show. Also there just doesn't seem to be a buddy buddy rapport between Michael and Kitt. That was always half the fun of KR. The other half was Hasslehoff hitting on the ladies when he was supposed to be doing spy stuff. This Michael Knight seems to bitter to be a ladies man.
  17. At this point I'm just glad I'll soon be able to pick up certain HD DVD exclusives on Bluray when Paramount and Universal switch over. Hell according to CC employee (w pics) Transformers BD is already in their system. http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=37276&page=7 Checklist: King Kong Transformers The Thing Bourne Trilogy Heroes S1 Shaun of the Dead er....I'm sure there's a few others...
  18. Walmart to Drop HD-DVD http://money.cnn.com/2008/02/15/technology...sion=2008021511 http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9873029-7.html Largest retailer in NA dropping the format.
  19. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but on the chance that you aren't Toshiba does sell TV's. They just choose not to bundle them like Sony, Sharp, Panasonic...etc did. Could be because Toshiba was already bleeding red by subsidizing each HD DVD player sold. Apparently for each player sold it was costing them a few hundred dollars. http://www.toshiba.ca/web/products.grp?lg=...el%20Television I always thought it was funny at my closest three Best Buys that the Toshiba TV's always had Bluray players hooked up to them.
  20. Interesting. Much sooner then I was expecting it but interesting. The article that thread is talking about. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/conten...7d0bfb0c25aa58d
  21. What Eugimon said. You're in outline not standard mode.
  22. Ow. Not a good day for HD DVD. Best Buy to Recommend Blu-ray http://www.streetinsider.com/Press+Release...ce/3345206.html and verified on Businessweek. http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D8UOBRDO0.htm Netflix says chooses Blu-ray format over HD DVD http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssConsume...WEN388420080211
