Just as hideous as ever...cool.

I'm wondering if it will still have all the other cool features like eSATA.

Ugh, here comes another 3 hour yawn-fest a la "The Good Shepherd". De Niro, stick to acting...you're good at it.

The "Core" system is a waste. Very few people buy it.

I'm waiting until the new revisions of the 360 come out with the smaller-process CPU/GPU. That should keep power consumption and heat down.

I woke up early and went to a 10:45am showing. I arrived 20 minutes before it started and got a great seat. It only cost me $6 as opposed to the standard $9.25 (no student discounts in my city, what a racket).

With the $3.25 I saved for waking up a bit earlier, I got myself a drink as well. Normally I would smuggle in a can of soda.

So to answer your question, I didn't wait. I just sacrificed an hour or two of sleep to catch a showing before lunch. Yes, the theatre was full of kids who had to pee every 10 minutes and kept dropping M&Ms all over the floor, but Transformers was so good and thrilling to watch that I didn't care.

It sounds muscular, but lacks the refinement of a G35 motor, for example.

Give everyone a $100 credit who bought it earlier? Sorry, it doesn't work like that. Early adopters pay more, that's the price of being the first to own something.

By your logic...

$2000 computer bought today is on clearance for $500 in two years. Should they give everyone $1500 back? No.



If CC really is doing this on their own, then good! I'm so sick of market prices being set on everything these days. This shows that retailers should be able to charge what they want, and not be stuck with some "sell it at price X or don't sell it at all" ultimatum.

And yes, price matching will eventually cause everyone to drop the price $100.

Any of the Linksys SRX routers. I have the WRT54GX2 (SRX 200) and am amazed at how much better it is than the standard $50 routers out there. I've had D-Link, Netgear, Linksys, and Buffalo "$50 802.11g" wireless routers. They all crap out in a few months or absolutely choke under BitTorrent. The GX2 proves that once you cross into the $80+ range, the equipment is vastly better. Better range, consistent performance, strong under Torrenting...can't beat it for the money.

Good. I'm so sick of people walking around with the stupid *BEEP* announcing their whole conversation to the world on speakerphone.

God, that is the worst photo ever. Doesn't show a thing, and adds NOTHING to the article. For a university, I expected better.
