    What can I do with an iPod Touch?

    Well, I ended up with a 16GB iPod Touch as a present this morning. Apart from the shock..I'm left wondering for what exactly I can use it for. Mind you, I already have an iPod. 30GB Video series, that I was actually considering selling because I got fed up with how you can only put music onto...

    Gaming How to tell what motherboard a PSP Slim has?

    I'm going to mod a friend's PSP soon, and apart from the information that it's a Darth Vader White PSP Slim, I have nothing else to go on. I'm not sure if Sony is retroactively putting the new motherboard into the PSP packs, but I'd like to be sure before I begin. Is there a way I can tell...

    PS1/2 Ripping and burning PS2 discs

    Right. So I'm in the process of softmodding my PS2, and I realize that I never knew how to properly rip and burn the DVDs. What program is best suited for the task? I presume the same program does both ripping and burning. What settings do I use, and all that good stuff? At least I know...

    Starcraft II x3

    Righto, so here's the link. What does it mean? Well, Starcraft II is going to be three games. There's going to be a Terran game, a Zerg game, and a Protoss game, each released in that order (and not a simultaneous release either). This basically equates to you having just that race to play...

    Monster Hunter Portable 2G is NA-bound

    I didn't see anything about this here (in a separate topic anyway, but), so here's the news. No release date yet, but at the very least it's confirmed that the new edition of Monster Hunter Freedom 2 for the PSP has been slated to come out in English, much to the delight of MHF fans.

    VG theft case goes awry in England

    G-Spot, as always. So. A truckload of games, namely the new Brothers in Arms game, had its shipment stolen, and the police managed to stop a truck with stolen plates, carrying--you guessed it--the stock of the games the truck had. The truck was impounded and the thieves were accounted for...

    I need to borrow you for a second.

    I'm trying to work on a small website thing for a project for school, and I made an embedded MOV in an HTML file. It runs well for me, but for a friend it actually crashes Firefox. So, if you would, can you try this link for me and tell me if you get it to work? Test me. And yes, there is...

    Kingdom Hearts - Re:Chain of Memories

The 3D remake of Chain of Memories for the Game Boy Advance is slated to be coming to America this December, as a standalone...

    Prinny sidescroller, dood!

    So much for not posting news again. I hope this time it doesn't blow up. =P http://www.gamespot.com/news/6197255.html Not dated for a release outside of Japan, but it could be a fun little platformer with everyone's favorite throwaround punching-bag mascot. The rough translation of "Prinny...

    X360 Gets Price-Drop (in America)

    http://www.gamespot.com/news/6197209.html Summary? Arcade is now $199, the 60GB model is a hundred dollars more for $299, and the 120GB Elite is now $399. This comes hot on the heels of a similar price drop in Japan, meaning that it is now lower in price than the Wii in both NA and JP...

    Gaming I've had it with my iPod.

    All right, well I've been the owner of said iPod for a good couple of years now, and while I've enjoyed it for the most part, there has been one aspect that's always annoyed me to no end. Once files are put on the iPod, they are (without outside help or lots of patience) damn-near impossible to...

    My Life as a Shopper (Jul 28 2008)

    You know, I heard about the clearance at Toys 'R Us and I decided, what the hell, let's go see if it's in-store. It was, for games too. And to my surprise, I found the game I came there to get, Zack and Wiki. I figured, I've heard good things about it, so what was the harm in $10? I decided...

    Gaming I didn't know they made these as screensavers.

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb897558.aspx Uh, yeah. From Microsoft no less, and apparently is built so that it perfectly(?) emulates a crash on your computer with the safety of a screensaver. Why there'd be anything like this really escapes me right now. If it was an April...

    Hacking FFTA2 problem

    I've already mentioned this in the (E) release thread, but to recap what my problem is... So far, I've encountered two battles that once cleared, cause the game to bug or otherwise glitch to make it (currently) impossible to continue. I'd get the relevant screens for completing the mission...

    Nintendo's "Player's Choice" line?

    You know, I've noticed that MarioKart DS is still the $35 it's been since I got it over two years ago, and it'll most likely be that price come the three-year anniversary, but I've noticed that this is the same with just about every game on the Wii and DS out now. Apart from the games destined...

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:

    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
