Add an accelerometer!
Someone please teach me how verizon is so much better than sprint. I just don't get it. I just had verizon and am now on sprint, I can tell you I am not missing vzw and their charge extra for everything policy, o and the coverage with sprint is better, verizon doesn't have the most reliable network.
The arcade version runs on a Intel Core 2 chip. So it shouldn't be a hard translation for running under directx since it's already an x86 platform.
I believe, which i don't think anyone has explicitly mentioned, was that the increased price point was because of the increased licensing fees from Microsoft and Sony. That's what caused the increase of costs for developing the games. Sony at least used bluetooth for communication in the hardware aspect, while microsoft went the proprietary route and charges a hefty fee to license any game peripheral (maybe sony does too, but at least Bluetooth is a standard). So look to microsoft and Sony for blame, when these consoles first came out they discussed that. Also Wii games, what little third party games there are haha, are still 49.99
Blackberries don't have the custom firmware. Well neither does WInMo, and on blackberries with the newest OS GPS is free.
I think the negative comments to the Verizon OS are legitimate, at least with phones that are released across multiple carriers and they might showcase a new OS from that manufacturer but Verizon loads theirs. On that note however, I have Verizon and I have a 8330 Curve, which has full OS in tact except the crippled GPS. The Bluetooth has full OBEX, and i can use MP3 ringtones. I would love to have a nice verizon touchscreen phone, but with a better os, so i'll probably go with the storm.
I just thought i would add, it's amazing because i think xbox 360 is the last product to have a 20gb hard drive, i mean i don't believe they manufacture them anymore. In fact i don't think there was a consumer version of a laptop sata drive at 20gb.
XBOX 360

My Significant other does not care, but i am addicted to this game.
Rockstar is giving away GTA 2 for pc anyways, i downloaded it one day before gta IV came out haha.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
