Too bad there's no offline mode. I love Sim city 4 but I will never buy this game.

Well that was a complete waste of time... I should've known they wouldn't talk about a new console.

I thought FFXIII was pretty easy compared to previous FFs but I'm all for putting multiple difficulties in games. Some devs are arrogant and like shove their vision of how the game should be played down everyone's throat so they don't add multiple difficulties.

Wow that's the exact same PC I have. I added an extra 8GB of RAM for a total of 11GB I also have a new 1TB HDD now cause the original 750GB Seagate HDD failed and I'm using Windows 7 now. Now the original GPU is failing so I'll be buying a new GPU soon, I'm thinking about getting the ATI Radeon HD 6850.

Would you recommend using compressed air in a can? My brother had one of those and I was going to use it until I noticed some kind of liquid coming out of the nozzle and I don't want that stuff getting on my motherboard or something else and causing damage.

Here are my full specs

CPU: Intel core i7 920 @2.67GHz 4 physical cores

GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4850 with 1024MB of memory and the latest driver installed

11GB of RAM

1TB HDD with 436GB free space

500W PSU

Windows 7 64-bit

For awhile now (6 mo+) my PC has had this issue where my monitor will lose the video signal and then a few seconds latter my PC will freeze and the only fix is to force a shutdown by holding in the power button for a few seconds then rebooting the computer. 9 times out of 10 this happens when I'm playing a game and the other times it will happen when I'm surfing the web very rarely, I can have my PC on doing nothing for 10 hours straight and nothing will happen. I used ATI tool to scan my GPU for memory artifacts and I ran that for about 5 mins and there were zero errors. I also used a program that tells you what temps your GPU is running at so I can find out if my GPU is overheating or not, while idling on the desktop the temp stays around 54 and 55 degrees C, after playing Elder Scrolls Skyrim for about 20min the GPU temp was around 67 and 69 degrees C. Are these normal temps for a GPU?

My theory is that there's something wrong with my GPU due to the fact that this issue mostly happens when I'm playing a game which is demanding on a GPU. I admit that I've owned my current PC for more than 2 years and I've rarely cleaned dust from inside the case. For the first time ever I recently removed my GPU and cleaned dust from it and there was allot of dust on it. I'm thinking all the dust caused my GPU over the last 2+ years to run hotter than normal which caused damage and now my GPU is failing. Do you guys agree or might it be something else?

[QUOTE="jdt532"]Kinnect needs to die like all the other motion control gimmicks... That Star Wars game is an abomination, it was nothing more than on the rails hack & slash and the controls were the exact opposite of sharp and responsive. xhawk27
Move First!

That's fine with me but all motion control gimmicks need to go. I'm old school I'll stick with controllers until someone invents the holo-deck.

Another epic bore-fest by M$ this year with all the casual kinnect crap. They did announce Halo 4 at the end but I'm sick of the Halo milkage. All Sony has to do is show allot of in game footage of Uncharted 3 and they win e3 day 1.
