Know where I can get a good functioning, NAS on the Cheap? I'd like it to be 4 bays, as I currently have 4 x 1TB hardrives i'd like to take out of my desktop/external/HDDdock, and move over to a NAS.
I don't know where you are buying your hardrives , but if you are paying 200$ for 1TB you must be on fire because you, sir ,are getting hosed.
here you go: 95$ :D enjoy. http://www.newegg.com/Produ...
bayonetta is overrated.
Was Mass Effect 2 really so good that it merrited making the same list twice ( once at the top, once at the bottom...)
(FYI , I thouroughly enojoyed ME2 :D )
My gameboy case got stolen awhile back, and it had my collection of games from the days of Gameboy advanced SP to now. Lost ~ 50 games. Its not even the lost games that hurts the most, its all the man hours lost. All the pokemon alone i've easily put in 300 + horus over the years.
I disagree in that they should call it Starcraft 1.5.
What sort of innovation are you looking for? Why would you change perfection? The SC formula is amazing, so why not keep it more or less similar? It has a brand new story, which is amazing, and updated graphics too. What else can you ask for?
You are making a vital mistake. That is you are comparing a tangible scarce good to an intangible infinite good.
Only a limited number of ferraris are produced, and are therefore scarce. Scarcity is what determines price. Digital data is an infinte good, it can be produced at a marginal cost of zero, therefore the supply is infinite. Basic economics dictates that as supply increases , the price of that good tends towards zero.
So what needs to happen in t...
I just meant it in that they are essentially getting an interest free loan hahaha.
step 1. collect cash
step 2. earn interst/investment income/ fund product
step 3. return cash but keep profit. aka using other people money to make money (not only that, but the collected cash would lose ~ 3% in value assuming normal rates of inflation)
That's all i meant:P
Agreed. What people fail to undertand in this piracy argument is that just because someone downloads a movie or game, doesnt mean that its a lost sale. More often than not, that person would NOT have paid for the movie/games/song if they hadnt had the option to download for free. So really, what producers/developpers should be doing is monetizing piracy. Allow those who downloaded the game to donate if they liked it, give them a discount on a future release, etc etc. Try to create revenue whe...
When steam first did their holiday sales they showed some figures, decreasing the price by 50% increased their sales by about 4x so in earning double the revenue. ( these arnt the exact numbers , and im to lazy to go find them... none the less, it was a pretty extraordinary fact)
It seems the the demand curve for games increases exponentially when the price drops. It makes sense too, I know that when a game drops down to 5 or 10$ I will buy it just because I might want to ...
This is a perfect scam if your company needs a bit of extra cash... get a whole bunch of pre-orders for some digital download content, use the cash for a project / invest it, wait a year or two, and return the money saying sorry, the game isnt working.
My 28" I-Inc monitor is 1920 x 1200 :)

Now if only I could use this memmory for more usefull things... like my 3 year econometrics courses...
What a terrible article.
Im a gamer and a shareholder :P
but seriously, i've been holding on to this pos stock for a few years now ( before the delay of starcraft was announced).
It is the most stagnant stock i've ever seen. After starcraft II + Diablo III , im dumping this thing... ( I've been wanting to get out for awhile, but it would be stupid to ignore the impact those two games might have)
I think that 3D Movies ( havnt seen games yet so i wont judge those) and the Wii are gimicks for the most part.
Look how well those two things are doing...
Edit:
Just to clarify my point, I said that they are gimicks for the most part...
most 3D movies and Wii games ARE crap. There are really only a handfull of either that are great.
Regardless, It seems that things that could be deemed gimmicks still sell quite we...
*edition. There you go :)
I got mine for 29$ Canadian 1 week after launch ( thanks to a sale + 20 off coupon from activision)
MSFT has not lost as much as you think.
When the scandal first hit they shifted a billion dollars to an irregular expense account so they took that hit on the front end. The xbox has been profitable for awhile now. (Thanks in large part to Xbox live subs and sales)
Im not happy about the price going up but how the hell is it "morally wrong"... They are a business, they can choose to offer any product they like at any price they like. As a consumer I can choose to subscribe/continue my subscription if want to. There is nothing FORCING people to participate therefore there is no question of morality.
