Microsoft's Xbox 360 Elite gets unboxed and uncased {Engadget}
Apr 20th 2007 12:20PM My current 360 keeps killing Rainbow Six Vegas. I've been through four copies of the game. If this new one is only different in color and HD, I'll pass as I'd have to assume it will also eat my game.
Anyone know why that happens?
DVD Drive?
Bad Discs?
User Error?
Impure oxygen in home?
The Boy Genius Report: Cingular 8100 launch presentation! {Engadget Mobile}
Nov 17th 2006 3:37PM The Zen theme is from BlackBerry, not T-Mobile. I went to BlackBerry's website to get it; for free. The default web page is where to go for it. There are a few themes and several ringtones/notifications you can download.
I've not had any problems with the trackball/ringer problem listed by David (post #13) and I've had my Pearl for about a month. I assume it was fixed previous to that timeframe.
Alienware accused of only courting positive reviews {Engadget}
Oct 31st 2006 11:28AM I purchased an Area 51 laptop about a year ago. Fully-loaded and very expensive. the piece of crap would not work as advertised. I sat in an office with three other laptops and tested the wireless card. Apple Laptop detected three signals. Toshiba laptop detected two signals. eMachines laptop detected four signals. Alienware laptop detected NO SIGNALS. The drive door would not open, the machine would randomly reboot. Random reboots did not always reboot; sometimes the boot process would stick on the Alienware splash screen. The video card would overheat contantly regardless of the surface on which the laptop sat. I contacted them and they ran me around the block until I mailed it back. One month later I received it. Of the eight problems I sent it for repair of, seven remained when I received the laptop back.
Eventually I contacted an attorney, the president of Alienware, and the Florida State Attorney's Office. All of this was necessary for Alienware to either replace my laptop with another or get my money back (they refused to replace my laptop and told me to mail it back to them). Of the sixty four days I owned it, it worked three.
They gave me my money back, all $3120 of it. Their customer service was horrible. Absolutely horrible.
My "Alienware Experience" was very expensive and very painful and I'd ask anyone, ANYONE to never give them a dime.
To those that have great experiences with them... Cool, I'm glad for you and hope you do not experience my "Alienware Experience."
How-To: Add your own external GPS antenna {Engadget}

Mar 23rd 2006 11:53AM What about all those Nintendo GO buyers that are dial-up users? Is the big N going all 56K on us? How can they be included in 80-90%?
I'll be in that % but thems fightin' words!
Single player review - Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (Xbox 360) {Joystiq}
Mar 20th 2006 1:16PM "Garcon! I'm still waiting for next-generation gameplay to go with my next-generation graphics..."
Brilliant statement! This game contains NOTHING next-gen outside of graphics.
Hey, I have a piece of poo, but I put a little red dress on it. Can I get the next-gen stamp and have it ported to the 360?
Next-gen my a$$. The only thing next-gen is the price.

Revolution SDKs cheaper than PSP ones, say devs; final dev kits expected to be made widely available in June {Joystiq}
Feb 23rd 2006 8:19AM I own a small game development company. We have less than ten people working on IP and had information that the REV dev-kit would be inexpensive. This really inspired us because whether or not we need one, two, or five, we can afford them. Five REV dev-kits can be purchased for about the same amount as one PS3 kit. Regardless of the amount of money it takes to complete development... we can now be in the game (so to speak). The millions it takes to make games does not always come from the developers pocket. The dev-kits usually do.
This is a great announcement on Nin's part.
