30% off at Virgin Megastore :) And I haven't even been there yet...friday can't come soon enough!

sure, in a perfect world the hardware would be free and they'd make all the money off of licensing. but remember if they drop the price $100 they have to not only sell more systems, they also have to increase the average number of titles bought per system. So it doesn't matter if they sell...

<< I work as an Inventory Manager for Best Buy. Yes, I have heard rumors of a price drop aroung the first of the year. I personally feel this will happen. Sony has already recouped R&D costs for the system by this time. Profit is made in games and accessories, not systems-that's a fact. By...

There is very little difference between S Video and Component video (480i). Now if your goal is to connect the Dreamcast to an HDTV with progressive component inputs, you'll need a Dreamcast VGA box and a VGA to Component transcoder. But bottomline, if you are connecting to a TV that can only...

why on earth would sony drop the price? How many systems do you think they'll sell after XMas? Let's say 100,000 for the week after: 100,000 systems x $100 = $10 MMMMillion dollars in lost revenue. Brilliant! Not to mention the fact they'll degrade the image of the system by looking...

yeah tax rules are funny. i guess my confusion came from the many years of working at a used video game store. if someone traded in $30 worth of games at bought a $60 game, it was ($60 * tax) - $30 (trade in). however now that I think about it, the $30 trade in was actually a separate...

I reccommend dns2go from Deerfield. It works like a champ for me with Road Runner

Actually I believe they should be taxing you on the full amount... If the price was reduced or "on sale" for everyone, I can see them only taxing you on the discounted amount. However, customers who buy items (say a PS2) pay $299. The 30% off is a promotion, not a price reduction. By law it...

what's the point of USB 2.0 cables? I thought a standard usb cable would be fine for USB 2?

just as with dvd players, dvd recorders will have a much faster acclerated start versus CD. Heck you can get a PC DVD-R drive for $450. By XMas 2002 you'll find some bargain DVD writers for $200.

use 512 MB for PC ram and use the other 512 for a ram disk! see www.cenatek.com

Well I just made it back from Parts Express. Here's what I picked up: Optical 6' Cable: 2 @ 3.25 Optical to Coax Converter: 2 @ 13.80 I still had to go to the Rat Shack and pick up two universal DCs for $9.99 ea. The optical to coax converter is great for devices that only output optical...

www.partsexpress.com has some really cheap optical cable. I've seen it priced $10 - $40 for 6 feet elsewhere. #180-940 (3 Feet) Our Price: $2.80 EA (1-3) Quantity Price: $2.50 EA (4+) #180-942 (6 Feet) Our Price: $3.25 EA (1-3) Quantity Price: $2.75 EA (4+) You can...

I think it AMD & NVDIA would be a great mix...maybe even market a custom PC... you know that's where NVIDIA wants to ultimately be. First it was Desktop video, then Laptop video, then Mac video, then audio / motherboard / console... eventually they'll reach the end of their "potential...

all those APIs won't be needed once games started being released in realtime DD 5.1... who needs crappy fake surround when you have DD 5.1!
