I just sent them an email, and I tried to push the fact that if was able to re-download the games it would be the deciding factor in buying a new Wii, and that I was able to re-download all my Playsation Network games when I bought a PS3 after previously selling one.

Well I had a Wii once, and sold it because at the time I needed a little extra cash. Now I logged onto Club Nintendo and can see all my games still registered to my account. If I bought another Wii would I be able to log into this account and download all my games again? This would be a huge factor in me buying a new Wii.

The best way to get around the no CD drive issue is to use ISOs for stuff you need on the road. If you just need to install something and dont need the CD on the run (like Microsoft Office), is to share and map a CD/DVD drive from your desktop. Then when you are on your home network you can pop the CD in your desktop drive and use it like a normal drive on your netbook. Also many programs are available for download from the publisher as long as you have a CD key.

Its the upgrade version. But who cares? I picked up their Office 2007 Ultimate deal a month back for $60, and Im deffinately going to pick this up. I was planning on buying Windows 7 anyway, and this will save me quite a bit.

I have an ASUS EeePC that I like, and I think it was about $299. I think you can get one on Newegg with Bluetooth and 3G for the same price.

You are going to need some sort of capture card, you have a VGA port on the laptop, but it for output only. Even if you do get a card, its not going to work for gaming, there will be a processing delay between what the Xbox outputs and what gets displayed on the laptops screen. The capture card doesnt output directly to the screen, it sends it to the laptop and it has to actually "think" about what it is going to display. I saw this is action a few years back when a friend bought a new Toshiba with video input, it made just enough of a delay to make the games unplayable.

I got Half Life GOTY, which had all those plus CS 1.6, on Amazon for $9.99, but that was about 5 years ago.

you guys are all rediculous

$15 subscription to WoW x 11 Million Subscribers = $165,000,000

That's just for ONE MONTH!

About 10 Million of those Subscribers pay all year long...

$15 subscription to WoW x 10 Million Subscribers x 12 Months = $1,980,000,000

Almost $2 billion dollars. Not to mention people still have to buy WoW at least one time, which costs what? $20 or so.

This means that they've made 2 billion off of just selling wow cd key to activate an account. Then people buy it for another whole year.

Sure servers cost enough, but they are paying for their own storage and they are buying their servers in bulk so they save a sh*t ton of money.

Can you cite sources proving that there are 10 million people that play all year round? Theres a sticker on the box that says 11 million players, but I doubt that many still play, I would be surprised if there were 5 million.

Hey guys,

I am planing to upgrade my current computer hardware from AMD 64 3400+ to a Phenom II CPU. Obviously I will have to buy new Motherboard, RAM and CPU but I will keep the same hard-drive, PSU etc. Where I need help is with the Windows OS, since I haven't got a Windows CD, I am thinking borrowing one from my friend and using it with the same Windows code that I can find sticked on my case. This is where I am not sure if this is going to work and if it's going to be legal thing to do.

Will using my friends windows cd and using my product key which can be found on my case, will it work? Or will I need to buy a new version of windows?

Thx for any help :D

You aren't going to need to reinstall Windows if you are keeping your old HDD. Borrowing your friends CD is legal, as long as you use your own CD Key, but if your friend has a regular Windows XP/Vista CD and you are using an OEM CD-Key, it wont work.

I see well im convinced. Ill jus get another of the same and sli. will I see a difference if i sli?

May I ask why you are bent on upgrading your video cards? I cant think of any reason 2x GTX 260 would be needed. And if you did do that, you're going to need a bigger power supply.
