The average lamp life is 4,000-5,000 hours...LED lamps 10,000 + so are you exaggerating to make a point?

As far as it being "pale" you've made a common mistake...buying a projector you used outside it's rated range, and trying to fill a 12-foot-wide wall with it...or not using a screen or reflective surface painted or prepped for projecti...

or even just painting the wall with the right paint :

This is for a 100 inch 16/9 screen (diagonal in this article, I measured by width above)

Some wall paints look good...The right surface really makes a difference.

I also have a 1080p projector & two other 1080 displays (one 10 days old)
You may have just seen bad examples shown on a wall, not on a screen or reflective screen paint, with a poor lumen-rating for the room lighting or distance to the display surface.

Compared directly to other displays, which are both larger than average, mid-to-higher quality units themselves the projector has what I can only describe as 'silky-smooth' flawless color shading, perfect response times...

Thanks for the news, asking to verify the claims & for providing them!

Too often wild claims or half-truth's pass for facts!

I believe Sony has already reported encouraging news on Home profits...and with these additions it can only get better.

Pinball Hall of Fame has 10 pinball game recreations based on actual pinball games and PinballFX only has 3, but you can download more.

I don't have either so will have to compare PinballFX + 7 pinball levels to the 10 in the Williams Collection.

Even if they where cheap enough to buy them both, I'm thinking I'd just want whichever one is best.

How accurate is PinballFX, I mean is it more of an arcade pinball simulator, or comparable to real-world machi...

First...keep in mind there's a big difference between a fan, and the fanatics I call "Fanbrats" (because you can practically hear them whining to their Mom & threatening to take their 'factoids' home because the real ones aren't playing by their rules)

You can discuss different consoles, games, etc with any fan, & even borderline fanboy's but a Fanbrat posts half-truth, full-out assaults on rival consoles, and fuels this entire stupid console war.

Everyone's a fan of their own consoles with preferences based on everything from the console or consoles you own to the units interface & what game your playing right now.

These fans can usually get along just fine, because they don't worship a console, game, or manufacturer . . . It's the Fanatics, the Fanbrats that cause the problems, and despite the article's claims having a Fanbrat post "CONSOLE-X IS THE BEST! CAN'T WAIT FOR HAZELO IIX! YOU WILL ALL BE PWNED!!!"...

That about sums it up...

With all the scandals over corporations actually making misleading or overriding claims in their own, or competitors entries, how can anything be taken as honest or credible, but the basic information that no one has an interest in distorting or profiting from?

That said, have you downloaded or purchased World of Wikipedia?

and we'd talked about a couple gaming comments here.

It's not his show that I have an issue with...it's somehow gaming "journalists" have gotten in the habit of writing half an article.

This is a QUESTION...what is missing and should be written is an ANSWER.

Sure, asking a question is great for discussions, but discussions only.
It's like a snippet from any discussion on a story here...but not a story itself.

I'm interested in articles that take the time & effort to ANSWER them.

Singling out IGN is not only an oddly narrow perspective but implies that sites like Kotaku, Gamespot, and even this one had no involvement in directly or indirectly stirring the pot that boiled the war.

Shouldn't this article actually answer the question it asks ?

Is that "?" my subtly magical sarcasm at work ?

There's many things to do yourself, but you'll be bored because your sharing the experience with no-one but you.

Chat, join in the multi-player games, treasure-hunt quests and the community to understand what Home was designed for.

Other than those in the closed beta (myself included) everyone's at the beginning. While I'd like the expansion of Home to happen faster like everyone else the scheduled events and improvements will make us laugh about wondering where Home...

Why isn't Microsoft clearly stating on the box :

"NEW HARDWARE - BETTER RELIABILITY - USES LESS ENERGY - RUNS COOLER"

I really don't think it's fair to gamers not to know which systems have improved reliability & hardware considering the many promises of these to everyone.

The existing stock should have been sold first or replaced so everyone can purchase a new 360 without guessing if they purchased the NEW 360!

Unless it's a g...

I'd almost forgotten about this problem but 3 months is better late than never, and not bad considering the compatibility testing involved.

Glad it's fixed!

Do you know that the percentage of death from Collateral damage (re-read as : innocent civilians) and Friendly Fire accidents (re-read as Shooting your own team or military) will be reduced with realistic immersive training?

There are lots of reasons to be against violence & wars, but none I know of to be against training your military teams to MINIMIZE that violence.

Tons of anything you ever wanted in apps, and it has the advantage of using all 512 Megabytes of memory for improved speed.

The UbuntuPS3 is also great, and the guide will get you up and running playing the classics you own in no time.

Many roms & programs are also released for free, for private use so can be downloaded and enjoyed freely by anyone.
