Has anyone used glasses like these,? do they really help with anything?

I preordered the limited edition game on gamestop and received it yesterday.

Today I just got a call from gamestop corporate offices. They told me not to play the game.

I am in the dashboard beta. But don't have the hardware.

I wonder if gamestop is going to pay for the week of xbox live they have taken from people. After all it is a paid service. I asked if they were handing out gift cards, and they said no.

the xbox 360 version of scrabble is the worst release ever!

1) everyone drops during play, making it almost impossible to finish a game
2) no one plays any more since release, making even hard to start a game
3) (AND THE BIGGEST ISSUE) you can't even SEE the complete game board!!! The menu hides the bottom row of letters, so unless it is your turn, you can not even see what has been played.

the Hasbro Family Game Night software is a compete failure IMO.

they need some better developers.....

Can we buy this phone for the full price and activate it on ATT without a dataplan? I don't want/need data, wifi is enough for me.

You also have to watch out for the DRM on games like FarCry 2 that keeps file checkers running in the background 24/7. I can't understand how Steam let 2ndary DRM get installed with some games.

I own 60 games on steam, but only have L4D1, L4D2, MW2 installed right now.

Keeping them uninstalled makes sure your system is clean. And unless you install the games on a 2ndary partition, it also makes sure your system files are defraged and close together. Which increases normal system performance. Downloading is not a big deal for me. So I never back up games or keep them installed even though I have 5tb of disk space. Performance is more important for me.

This is also the reason Steam can have such deals. They know when someone buys 10 games, they will only install 1 or 2. People are paying for the "achievements of buying the games" that shows up under there community profile.

It would be cool if we could trade the games. However that will never happen. The reason steam is successful is for that very point. Once a game is purchased it can not be resold. Unlike xbox/ps games. I can buy a xbox game then resale it a month later and make 85%+ back. Steam and any downloaded contant (even on the xbox/ps) your stuck with.

The worst part about down loadable content is what the wii does. You can only download once. If you get a new Wii you can't transfer. Xbox360 is unlimited which is super, ps3 is 5 times.

I'm confused... Why do you need the disk space?

Just because you buy them, does not mean you have to download them today.

Play one game. Finish it, Uninstall, then install the next game.

This is the 2nd time I saw you guys mentioning needing disk space when you don't.

I just got a my first mac mini last month when the new version came out. When I installed this update my computer got stuck on a grey screen with a rotating hour glass thingy. Did not reboot for over an hour. Had to pull the power. Hope I didn't screw up the install.

So far I hate this POS OS. It is so inefficient to use. You can't see two application toolbars at the same time. Every time I switch programs the other program disappears when I want to still see the document I had open in the background. Why do I want to waste my screen real estate to huge icons? I really don't understand why people make such a big deal about this OS, but I am trying to figure it out.

'this' is the VPC-WH1

so the Sanyo VPC-WH1 VS Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1

both same price, $399.99

What do you think is better, this or the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 ?

I realize the DMC-TS1 is a camera, but it also takes movies underwater.

I don't care about zoom much, or the camera part.

Just video, both do HD. So which is better doing video underwater (or above) ?
