Joyswag: Xbox 360 Holiday Games Bundle

Dec 17th 2009 11:59AM on Joystiq

I've been nice! My wife and I even "adopted" a child for Christmas, giving him hundreds of dollars worth of stuff he wanted so that he'd have a Merry Christmas! :)

Now we wait and see if karma really exists..... ;)

Save money on broadband by buying the "lifeline" cable -- basically just your locals and public access. At least where I live, that package costs $8/mo and Comcast gives a $15/mo discount off of broadband.

The Zune would be cool to try with the 360 I have in the theater... Please? :)

DirecTV exclusive Sunday Ticket is 'in the consumers' best interest'

It's actually not a monopoly -- you can watch NFL games locally, you can go to the games in person, and you can go to the local bars to watch the games you want. Customer has many choices, so it's not a monopoly.

Just sayin'... :)

I watched Howard the Duck in the dark once... Talk about scary!

"I guess I shouldn't expect much when people care so much about how they **look** wearing 3D glasses in the privacy of their own home."
That's not the only reason people don't like wearing the glasses to get 3D. Personally, I don't like them because everything gets blurry the second you tilt your head a little off axis.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Blu-ray review roundup

Oct 21st 2009 5:18PM on Engadget HD

I'm just pissed off at the WalMart IMAX exclusive. I want the IMAX footage... But I don't want to support that business practice. If I buy it, I'm encouraging WalMart to keep doing it, and that's lame.

:(

Blu-ray releases on October 20th 2009

Oct 19th 2009 5:57PM on Engadget HD

So what's the deal on that? There's seriously two different SKUs for Transformers, one with the opened up IMAX footage (like Dark Knight) and one without?

If so, that's incredibly lame. Way to add a ton of confusion to the marketplace, Paramount/WalMart.

Hitachi exhibits 10-inch glasses-free 3D display

Geez guys, it's called a Proof of Concept. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Dollhouse rocks.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
