A few things they should have recognized: Zone of the Enders: the 2nd Runner. Makes any other mech game feel like taking a nap while constipated by comparison. PS3-level graphics. Tons of Replay value. $30 at the most. Red Dead Revolver. Incredible Western 3rd-person shooter gameplay, and great use of filters. One of the only Console shooters with *fun local multiplayer!* ICO. Just buy it. Play through the whole thing. Tell me that your jaw didn't drop, while your eyes weren't watering (if not in tears), all while every hair was not standing on end. And tell me that you don't think it's the one game every human should play.
Seriously folks, if you want to understand the whole story, watch playthroughs on YouTube so you can pay attention easier. Sure, it's like watching the whole Lord of the Rings Saga a few times, but it's worth the amount of detailed information that you'll see recalled and twisted again and again. It shows also just how ingenious Kojima-san has been with this series. Fortunately he intends to make games for his whole life, so it's not like this is the last of our favorite MGS Director.
The reason AMD has been so good for a long time is that they make quality stuff with a lower price tag. I don't need to get more fps than the next best setup. I just need enough fps to play the game, and that's exactly what this cpu delivers. Maybe I'm going crazy, but I just think we shouldn't be so obsessed with having "the best", and should focus more on having enough quality to be worth our hard-earned investment. Just because you get better price/performance ratio with a 1000 dollar cpu you don't need compared to a 400 dollar cpu that gives you enough to use doesn't mean you should automatically spend 600 dollars more for your rig. Then again, this is just me, a lowly mid-range gamer with no need for luxuries like 8800 Ultra Triple SLI or 1200 watt power supplies to feed them. In other words, I only represent the overwhelming majority of the gaming community that provides the greatest profit to these companies... What do I know? ~ XM
1920x1200 is the size for 24" or 26" widescreens, so I think 1920x1440 is meant for non-widescreen use, and would be about 25", just as a ballpark figure. I hope this leads to more competition, that way the whole pricing scenario will cool down.
They say about the CPU's that "clock speeds matter again". No they don't, the E6600 and X6800 CPU's are at the same 36fps. The E6300 has 2MB of L2 cache compared to the above chips, with 4MB each. The E6350 is only a little more expensive than the 6300, and has the extra cache as well, yet they didn't show it instead? Someone wants us to splurge on Core 2 Duo monsters instead of going for a wiser budget, and they aren't being very subtle about it.
