@(Unverified) Agreed. Matte black finish with time attack rims...murdered out bliss

It looks loud...but It is handsome

I agree with JJ. Engadget's outlook is somewhat biased, they have done more than the lion's share of phone reviews and always given their opinion, but at the same time remained neutral if you understand that.

I'm not one of those "Play a real guitar don't waste time on video games" guys. I like doing both...but if you like music enough to shell out 300 for a "controller". Then might I suggest taking that money and getting an instrument and some lessons for cheaper?

...just a thought

Linux is very nice (work for hosting company)-but lets be honest...Most people aren't that interested in building their cars from scratch either :-/

I made something like it in 5th grade..

Innovation?...ftw

Practicality?...no dice

I know all you guys and seldom ladies out there find this to be outrageous, but it's really detrimental to the corporations that their consoles cannot be utilized to make illegal copies or aid in any way, shape, or form.

First off, Modding your system is legal (in the U.S. as far as I know). It's equivalent to getting an ECU flash done (for you gear heads) on your car. Perfectly legal but kiss your warranty, customer support service, etc. good bye.

BUT-the same way you may use your modded car to go faster, speed and break the law...Is the same as a person with a modded console ripping software illegally. Not saying people will do it, but now you have the ability to. With that the Corps. that make the consoles face major revenue loss (why buy games when you burn your buddies); Possible liability (again with game revenue...this time taking the studios, and publishers revenue), and most feared of all-cease of production. Every major game studio, developer, etc. all started small...take away there MUCH needed sale numbers for the games they make and *poof*...no more publisher.

If I had to gamble, I'll take keeping video games going strong over saving a couple bucks.

This is stupid by definition...

I actually admire the design as well....the design. As far as specs vs. price, I'll keep my greenbacks (all $2,700 ...) for something I can build with a bit more punch.
