Heh, not a great read, but indeed satisfying. It's not exactly a reality check to me in particular because I would've instinctively done most of what you are suggesting. It's aimed at the more common folk side of gamers, or at least I imagine so. PC Decrapifier sounds crazy! :D

Meh - This piece of technology hits borderline with trash. Trash at best. Just another item to tick off my artinary titled 'items to avoid'. Whatever happened here? The prices have dramatically hiked up, which highlights failure. The cash is worth so much more, so ultimately, the consumer is only benefiting with boasting status. Brain training, and more brain training are really good, but in relation to it's predecessor, they are both playable on the original DS modifications. Conclusion? If you possess it's predecessor - the original DS or DS lite, stick with those options. Because in question, this is 'just and only' a modification painfully awaiting it's death.

Gamespot is so opinionated! Where is Siren: Blood Curse, The PSN downloadable horror game? That was chillingly tentioning. Forbidden siren? Project Zero? No not located in the list above. Silent Hill? No I don't see that up above neither. How strange.

Lol, the ‘smart definition’ implies from the title. Japanese gaming Veterans don't need cheap form enticement from Microsoft. It may be based on fact that they 'prefer' innovative consoles, whether it to be hardcoring on the PS3 or playing the Wii for its imagination. The Xbox 360 is borderline for them both, which is substandard; making the Xbox 360 cheaper than the Nintendo’s Wii console in that nation won't necessarily increase product sales. Microsoft is relying on too much desperation. The Japanese are the technological ones, Microsoft is just pushing alignment to shear arrogance, and they knew that already! Where on earth is the profit margin for this idea anyway?

This feature is okay, however, it is pretty late in the marketing world of gaming. Even though I am inspired by Playstation 3, I am not fussed to whether I use my SKY + Box to view programs, or not to Watch T.V. at all, so there is really no need to tantalize over this because it is nothing 'New'. We'll just have to wait and see for ourselves because it does look like there will be much more potential with this system, give it some time, and wham! It's different and exhilarating. For people who simply own a free view, or BT digibox service, and so forth, look forward to this in particular!

I haven't really ever been a fan of the ATI Radeon Graphics Cards Series. If Anything, the performance chart shows that the new released card itself isn't much of anything because it is not the worst, but it is no where near the best card in the selection. The rating is decreasing dramatically while scrolling through to the bottom. It looks pretty mediocre. Oh well, better than nothing. Nvidia is a lot better however.
