not be as sexy as the concept? Thats an understatement thats like comparing an ipod to an original xbox. its about as sexy as a garbage can this thing is fugly no imagination at all. I thought the concept was a work of art this is just garbage. Why did it change so much?! its like they went from 100 to 0 in artistic design in less then a second. Who was in charge of this project homer simpson? how could they go from such a sexy car to this?

wait tons of ipods are filling up landfills and contaminating our water supply? Where are these landfills? I want free broken ipods.

Am I the only one that thought this was a rubber spatula head with screws and tiny carved out circles to pass as buttons? http://images.orgill.com/200x200/6475115.jpg

Whats even funnier is Hong Kong Disney Land's website! check it out HKDL's Adventure land has been taken over by pirates and is now called Pirate Land. Its even labled on the map as Pirate land! I don't know if this is just Disney promoting their latest Pirate movie or if they are making a comment on China's piracy. Still ironic when you think about it. Here I just got done reading an article on the whole park being coppied and now I see HKDL being taken over by pirates! Yes the world has gone mad when we can mistake cats for mice!

Ok thanks for only paying attention to the last part of my comment, I was also saying that a solidstate plug into wall socket device for this was totally useless! You could just use a lot of Y cables, sure you suffer some db loss but its not that important when the cables you are using for your videogame systems are only between 3 feet and 6 feet long. Over a longer distance they would need some type of repeater but I doubt anyone can notice a difference in screen quality if their AV switcher is solidstate vs a bunch of daisy chained or radios shack type no power requiring av switcher thingy, maybe in audio they can but then why not just buy a receiver so you can listen to your games in 5.1 and enjoy a bunch of plugs. I think its a waste of electricity to make a solidstate device like this.

I just daisy chain all my connections with y cables :D really component? s-video? oh yes you really notice a difference on a 1990 crt with 2 video inputs and a coax connection when its solid state. uh right, why you'd really care about quality on a pre-digital age screen is beyond me. I really can't even tell the dif between s-video and progressive really. spent the 20 bucks for the gamecube thingy and was really let down. maybe my screens to small to tell the difference, but really dvi vs vga now there is night and day. all this analog stuff must die! i listen to my ipod way more than my record player, it doesn't skip, i can listen to it while driving, and jogging. but really whats wrong with plugging and unplugging stuff you lazy haxores?

Why does it say "let's see your fancy Core 2 try that"? I wouldn't be surprised if a core 2 duo can go past 8ghz on just regular old ice or liquid natural gas. Especially when Intel starts making their 45nm chips. The core 2 duos are already extremely overclockable (is that a word?) with stock cooling cause they are extremely efficient compared to the heat monger Pentium 4 series. What kinda speeds would it get with liquid nitro? I can only imagine. Wouldn't it be cool (but probably not possible) if we could install liquid nitro systems in computers, for when you need that extra bump you just turn on the juice and let it fly into overclock for a quick boost? I'm running at 3ghz, then woosh its 8ghz muh haha. (the point? its like nos in a pc! and its just so ridiculous it has to be awesome!)

I like that the cable companies only defense is to complain about taxes. Saying they'll tax us millions. Well millions split several millions ways doesn't sound that bad. It probably amounts to like a 10 cent cost the average consumer of cable. Not bad for a cheap cable box from a company of your choice. "No countervailing benefits"! bah hog wash thats just like saying theres no benefits by providing competition for Ford and Chevy. Look at the great cars the Japanese make!

This is proof that nintendo is laughing all the way to the bank. They are the best in the businezz at creating a product for .60 and selling it for $60. They've been using IR tech since the original NES, (light gun, and nintendo satellite to be more exact). This aint new thing and proves they don't need to charge 40 bucks for a freaking controller with a 20 analog numchuck attachment. Sure the remote got to do a little bit of "sensing" to do but that shouldnt make it 40 bucks! but good grief the wavebird was 34. still i think the numchuck should come with the remote come on thats like selling a person half of a controller!! what an ingenious rip off! Not to mention the hardware can't even match an old xbox! (the old xbox had a hard drive and more ram than this piece of junk and proc speed was matched at 700mhz. The wii's junk, i was hoping for at least a 1.0Ghz processor in the system. oh well death to consoles long live the PC!

I definately want to get one of these with out the video card, step up to the second processor on the list, sans hard drive, sans ram, dvd drive, and sans shipping costs. And just throw in stuff from my old system. That would be awesome. That way I could just throw in 2gigs of 667 memory, a 7600gs, a 250 GB perpendicular drive, and a nice sony dvd dual layer burner and have the nice core 2 duo with out all the hassle of shorting out mobos and stuff. I wonder what kinda power supply this has? Maybe I should look into that first. But if I could get one of these with out all the afformentioned stuff I already got in my current system that would be a very inexpensive but super dooper awesome upgrade.
