CheesePirateAssassin: If by "Washed Out" you mean "Doesn't have crushed blacks.

There are some areas of that video where tons of texture detail is being lost to complete blackness on the 360. If that is the case, then no amount of TV adjustment will bring back the detail.

The Countour HD is not really a competitor to this camera. Maybe when running the Hero at the lower FOV 1080p mode, but at 720p, the 170 degree fish eye footage @ 60fps is its killer feature.

It surprises me that the differing optics wasn't even grazed upon in this face-off, when that is simply the most major difference between the two cameras.

Gonna be playing Guitar Hero on this drum kit of course.

Every single firmware update (And I mean EVERY SINGLE one), there are a bunch of people who's machine just happens to die on the day of the update, or a day or two after. This does not mean the two are correlated. There are millions of PS3s out there and I'm sure a whole bunch die every day for one reason or another. But those who have just updated, almost always think that the update caused it.

Even if the number of deaths statistically increase on the day of the updates, it does not mean they are caused by the update. I could just mean that a much larger number of people are turning on their dusty old PS3s just to download the new firmware, only to find that their drives have crapped out.

gobo: If a store is charging tax on the PSN cards, then they are not supposed to be doing that. They are tax inclusive items and are supposed to be sold at face value.

In Photoshop CS4, it would be very handy to use the touch features of the tablet to navigate the canvas, while using the pen to make adjustments to the image. I can imagine this improving workflow significantly.

Why are you converting prices, when you can get the official prices right from the source?

V Langs: You fail at understanding emulation. Wii games are not rendered natively at 720p.. Just because a PC emulator can interpret the 3D geometry and render at a higher resolution, doesn't mean that the game was originally made that way.

What makes you so sure that this will have pen support. Nothing on the packaging suggests any pen support. I really really hope that it does have a pen, or at least supports one as an optional extra, but I'm not confident at all.

I don't know. Why wouldn't you?

I actually don't believe anyone is actively stopping you from doing that.
