WD's 'Advanced Format' Caviar Green HDD gets benchmarked, minor benefits found

Feb 27th 2010 6:17AM (Engadget)
Just bought 2 WD10EARS drives last week, and I ran into 2 cases that the WD Align software can't handle:
- Windows xp running with RAID0 array;
- Windows XP Mode in Windows 7
As a result both of them read/write slower than using CD..

It should be fine if you only use Windows 7, or xp on a single drive.
Unfortunately, those 2 cases are essential to me, so I have to buy another 2 drives without Advanced Format...

DS Daily: Headphones

I use earbud when listening to music on my DSi.
Depending on what game I play, at least I seldom use headphone when playing Pokemon.

DS Daily: The year of the Nintendo DSi

Jan 1st 2009 8:57AM (Joystiq Nintendo)
To me, the year of the Nintendo DSi is 2008.
I have traded in my 2 half broken DS lites for DSi already.

I have sold my only 2 remaining GBA games along with the lites, so losing the GBA slot is not a concern to me.

Wii Warm Up: Top title for 2009?

I am looking forward to Arc Rise Fantasia, Fragile, and the next Tales of Mothership.

DS Daily: So did you import one?

Not until my Lite broken down completely (the cracks at the hinge are getting bigger...)

Price is not an obstacle now since most of the shops in my area are selling it for around $180 only.

How much?! Importers charging several arms and legs for DSi [update]

Probably because it does not even have enough supply for local Japanese retailers.

It reports that the shops had to stop accepting pre-orders within 20 minutes. Seems like the Black one is more popular.

Indeed the online shops in Japan is selling 50% more than the original price (29,800yen vs. originally 18,900yen), and it is still sold out.

That's crazy, it is more expensive than both XBox360 and Wii...

USB-authenticated deadbolt lock promises to only let geeks pass

Basically anyone with your house key can enter your house, that's the same.

DS Daily: Will you get it?

Oct 5th 2008 1:24PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
I think I will replace one of my lites since it has multiple cracks at the hinge.

Day of Crisis not a total disaster?

Sigh... Are all gaming websites outside Japan dunno the existence of different versions of Famitsu?

34/40 (8,8,9,9) comes from "Famitsu Wii+DS", which usually gives higher scores than the real "Famitsu" (e.g. Famitsu Wii+DS gives TOS-R 35 while Famitsu gives 31 only)

(Electronic excerpt of Famitsu Wii+DS November Edition, click the "Flash..." button and type "9" in the PageJump box to see the review page)

For the true Famitsu released today, it scored 31/40 (8,8,8,7) only. (This is posted on Wii@Everyday)
Same score as Wario Land Shake and Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk (or Dawn of the New World in US).

Pokemon Platinum nears a million sales in two days

So I am the "one in a million" :)

BTW, you used the fake boxart (Giratina in Another Forme, the old form), the real one is the one in the gallery (Giratina in Origin Forme).
