Joyswag: Win a copy of BioShock, get it overnighted (Part 1)

The world of Rapture seems more fully realized than any other I have experienced in a game. Beyond the revolutionary gameplay, Bioshock's world is what will make it a classic.

The iPhone will be a good way for me to consolidate many devices into one. Oh yeah, and its gorgeous!

Bookeen set to release new Cybook E-Ink reader

With a program called Convert Lit, you can convert ereader.com lit files you have purchased for use on other devices. I have a Sony Reader and am very happy with it.

Chrono, TrueHD up until this point has generally been 5.1. You do not need a 7.1 receiver to notice the difference. TrueHD is a lossless audio compression codec. When it's decoded by your player, the player sends uncompressed PCM to your receiver. The sound quality is vastly superior to the much-compressed Dolby Digital and DTS on standard DVDs.

Fantastic list of oft-ignored gems. Boy was I surprised by how much ass Tomb Raider: Legend kicked. A great reinvigoration of the franchise. I look forward to see what Crystal Dynamics can do with the next game.

Nintendo sells out of Wii component cables

Nov 16th 2006 7:11PM on Joystiq

@17 Regardless of whether you have an HDTV or not, component cables make a world of difference. A large portion of CRT SDTVs have component input. The color separation and clarity is very visible on just about any TV you use. These cables should be commonplace and available at launch at retail, else it would be a mistake on Nintendo's part.

It's a wash between The Office and 24, for very different reasons.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
