The space battles and the 'create your own race' seems very interesting to me. But the whole Star Trek atmosphere is also something to look forward to ;)
@Derry Quinn
Yeah. I meant the 3rd party controllers. Like this one and the music-game ones. Reading it again I suppose it could read as if I said the official PS3 controllers use also a propriety protocol.
@Mark

The PS3 controllers are not using the Xbox protocol as I understand it. Instead they use a separate propriety protocol. If they used the same protocol it would stand to reason they would work across the platforms (unless that is deliberately sabotaged). And the whole incompatible music-game controller issues would also likely never have existed, as they have always worked with both games on the Xbox.

Anyway. I am pretty sure that MS would not allow their Xbox technology to be used on different platforms to begin with.
It's pretty strange that the game developers still refuse to create controllers with build in Bluetooth but have no problems with doing one with the propriety Xbox protocol. I find it hard to believe the Bluetooth chip can really be expensive enough that it can be cheaper to actually build a separate dongle to ship along.
Fork over the key, please ;)
Gimme key! :)
Can't say no to free loot
I guess it just seems fun that they have so many types of minigames to try
Yeah. I just figured out the URL for the restore image directly from Apple... Bit of a slow download though. So I guess I'll see how it works when I get it.
Firmware update info comes from this place: http://phobos.apple.com/version

For a while it had the iPod Touch 2.0 location info in it (but with special protected:// links). But now it is gone again.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
