  1. After denying that it was design problem, claiming that it was isolated incidents, after internet sources started reporting on failures, then finally after mainstream media started reporting in on the upwards of 30% failures did Microsoft institute the 3yr RRoD policy. They did the exact same thing Sony did with the DRE's only they caught it before the class-action lawsuits started flying. It was a great PR move. The difference was that RRoD had a home remedy(sorta) while the DRE required people to be technically adept to fix. RRoD home remedy = wrap towel around 360 and heat it up until the chips reset themselves. Really stupid because even if you do reset the chip you're baking the rest of your components unnecessarily. Could end up with component failure. BUT you don't void warranty so you can claim it just broke and get a new one. Note about replacement 360's that you aren't getting your 360 back but a refurbished one that may or may not work. Again this was noted on all the major game forums. DRE home remedy = take the PS2 completely apart, void warranty and reset the lens. If you messed up, tough. You voided the warranty yourself. No recourse but to buy a new one.
  2. DOOOO IT! The spirit of Kris Kringle commands you! Oh and for any of you that bought the BluRay Harry Potter Boxset 1-5: reports are that Warner Bros messed up and swapped one of the movies with an HD-dvd version. I think it was Goblet of Fire but check all your discs....just in case.
  3. Hilarious Japanese PS3 ads. This should help sell the console. Reminds me to login to my japanese account and check for more GT5 movies.
  4. Apparently the guys on gizmodo tested monoprice cables vs Monster cables and they claim there isn't any difference at least in the short distances. With longer cables they say to go with the brand names http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/monoprice/
  5. Anybody have any experience with buying HDMI 1.3a cables from monoprice.com?
  6. Tim Kring apologizes for Chapter 2. Promises to fix in Chapter 3. THANK GOD. http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20158840,00.html
  7. Peter and Sylar should both go out getting pwned by the true Villain/Hero of Heros. ULURU is coming.
  8. Yay!! Tim Kring = Kill'em All Tomino! (Gundam reference) Other plots: So ends Chapter 2. Chapter 3 begins with:
  9. Word of caution on the Aquos. The older series, like the 62u and 72u series have banding issues. Apparently this has been corrected in the 64u series.
  10. Not as awesome as if they fed Mr. Muggles waffles.
  11. I found this question and answer really ironic, especially when you consider the source of the answer. What is the fastest Vista laptop (as of Nov.7, 2007) as reported by PC World? Mac Book Pro. http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,136649-p...ks/article.html Fastest: Apple MacBook Pro The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year is a Mac. Try that again: The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year--or for that matter, ever--is a Mac. Not a Dell, not a Toshiba, not even an Alienware. The $2419 (plus the price of a copy of Windows Vista, of course) MacBook Pro's PC WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88 beats Gateway's E-265M by a single point, but the MacBook's score is far more impressive simply because Apple couldn't care less whether you run Windows. Further in in the article they compare gaming on an Alienware laptop and the MBP comes out something like 10-15frames faster.
  12. ?? PS3 games are region free. Blu-ray movies are region coded.
  13. NExt parts out. http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1790841
  14. Missed the first 15mins.
  15. True but that doesn't really discount the idea that he and Adam were possibly working together originally. Keito Nakamura and Mrs. Petrelli both had the "S" symbol drawn on a photo of them and those photos appeared to be ripped from the same original group photo. If this is correct then that means those two split the targeted members of the Company between themselves.
  16. Ah but this wasn't originally supposed to be the end of the season just the end of Chapter 2 and the setup for Chapter 3 both of which are part of Season 2. Current groups: This generation of Heroes. The Company(previous gen of Heroes). And the group that are killing the Company (Adam and Nightmareman...and now maybe Peter). Not really a last minute introduction of a manipulating group is it?
  17. It's been 24hrs but I'll spoiler this post as well. Come tomorrow there will be no more spoiler bars. BUT a) we know Kensei heals and his blood heals others. We've been shown this when they healed Nathan. b) We've seen Claire regenerate. We've seen Claire heal. We have not seen Claire's blood heal other. Her ability may not have developed to the stage that it can be transferred to others yet.
  18. Hmph! ROFLMAO!! They use the exact same codecs. Audio though....that's another ballgame. Go to avsforum.com or Highdefdigest.com for up to date info regarding both formats. I voted for the TV and PS3. Need a new tv and I can use another PS3 either as a DVD upconverter or to give my brother as a Blu-ray player.
  19. Bah it's been over 12 hours since it aired. But alright just incase some people are going to d/l it instead of watching it live.....
  20. 1) VF-2SS 2) Destroids 3) Enemy Mecha
  21. Toy-wave's got the mass production type up for pre-order. http://www.toy-wave.com/eng/detail.php?id=9835&super=b
  22. Quoted for truth. The HRG Show = The Man Show.
  23. Finally! People die in this episode. Doubts are put into some, despair in others but like I said on 9thwonders regulars need to die to push the story along. I love the last word in the episode. Shades of a previous episode in Season 1. lol!
  24. So your friends are all ADD? Should've started with an episode five teaser and then gone back to episode one. OR if you're feeling real evil get them to watch Wings of Honneamise. Great movie but it moves at a snails pace.
