    XBox 360 Live Gold 12 Month card - $38.99 FS @ Newegg

    Haven't seen em as low as $29.99 in a year or two now.. I think they raised the price or inflation has since kept them at $35 a piece minimum (usually at $35 they sell out too I think). I see them for sale on the forums all the time around $40 and they usually sell pretty quick for that price...

    Logitech G9 vs cheapo optical mouse fruatrations!

    OK, so I've wanted a gaming mouse for a while and I am a major fingertip grip/claw grip player. I'm fairly old school when it comes to PC gaming, dating back to Wolfenstein 3d, Doom, and I learned to KB/Mouse on Quake 1. I played that game for years and years, and most of the time I used low DPI...

    MSI 6950 TF 2GB with Dues Ex: HR, Shogun 2, NBA 2k11, and 3Dmark11 discs $229 MIR

    Decent deal.. Sell Deus Ex for $20-25, NBA 2K11 or 3DMark 11 aren't worth much IMHO (maybe $5-10 a piece) and Shogun 2 is probably worth around $10-15. Either way, with the eBillme promotion that's potentially a $180 or so 6950 2GB, but gotta play the rebate game and jump through some sell...

    Anyone Used a Mouse/Keyboard on the XBox?

    I haven't tried one of the new XFS adapters but I tried a SmartJoy FRAG for the original XBox back in the day and it is awful. No matter how hard they try with these adapters, it will never be like a true KB/M experience on a PC... And do you want to know why? It's because console games...

    BFG GTX 260 OC MAXCORE (216) $146 shipped after cash back

    Then you get to deal with the joy of selling CoD:WaW.. Why not just go for this deal in the first place? I hate having to buy a deal, then turn around and sell 2 or 3 things just to bring it down to a lower price.

    HIS Radeon 4890 1GB - $163 + S/H *Hurry - Expiring TODAY*

    Nice price but hate MIRs and waiting for cash back. I've been converted to an all or nothing kinda guy.. if I can't get it for the price I want now then forget about it. Good deal if you don't mind jumping thru hoops though.

    Sceptre X400BV-FHD 40" LCD HDTV - $599 at TigerDirect

    You got a 42" 720p plasma for $330 out the door? Somehow I find it hard to believe.... This Sceptre would make a decent large monitor. Make sure you have plenty of room and are sitting back far enough though...

    Why do you guys play a console instead of PC?

    LOL.. Insinuating that I "don't like games" because I can manage to control RTS games on consoles? Pssh... I wont even make a comment. Face it. Take a look at some of the games coming out for consoles that are in the RTS market: Halo Wars, Tom Clancy's EndWar, Red Alert 3 (even if it is a...

    Why do you guys play a console instead of PC?

    Oh boy.. here we go again :roll: First things first (and I LOVE this quote): Buying and playing games for graphics is like paying a hooker for conversation. You are totally missing the point of gaming. It's different for everyone and IMHO the OP is ignorant for even considering one...

    IT BURNS! 26" Soyo LCD $209.99 + tax FS

    Just a heads up. Officemax has a Soyo Pearl series 26" TN Panel LCD for $209.99. Granted it is TN, but at this price, who cares? http://www.officemax.com/omax/...=soyo&category_Id=null I myself used a $25 gift card in conjunction with the $30 off coupon, so I'll actually flip my 22" and...

    Valve To Charge For Console Updates To Team Fortress 2

    Oh.. In that case, I apologize for digging up the topic.. If the DLC is prime content and is worth paying for, I'd bite. Just as long as prices remain reasonable. If the content is terrible, forget about it. /thread can die now :D

    Valve To Charge For Console Updates To Team Fortress 2

    Amen to that.. Feel the exact same way. Also, this would be a terrible decision on Valve's part. You shouldn't have to pay for fixes to a game that are inherently part of the games problems in the first place. DLC adds enhancements or added features to the game. Patches add bug fixes and...

    Need to Vent: Got Scammed at a B&M!

    Partially Costco's fault, partially the scammer's fault. The scammer shouldn't have returned it in the first place, and when he did Costco should have checked the serial number / DOM on the console. Then, Costco SHOULDN'T have taken it back. Then, in addition, when they did take it back they...

    PC gamers

    I agree with you DT4K.. I've been getting steadily better, but nothing compares to the KB/M. I do look at it this way though: I'm always up for a good challenge. I see mastering console thumb sticks as a challenge to overcome, so I just want to get better that much more. I guess I'm just...

    Anybody have any good exercises or anything to master FPS aiming a little quicker? I found that just playing through the game over and over helps, and I also found that playing the beginning training / obstacle course thing over and over again really helped, especially when I switched from...

    PC gamers

    There can definitely be hybrid players, but who has the time to play PC and consoles for that long everyday? I find that if I start playing one, I will ignore the other one that much more. The upgrade cycle and HDTV things are just excuses too. Fact of the matter is, it will take longer to...

    Wow, Team Fortress [i]is[/i] awesome.

    The original TF is for Quake and none other. TFC was indeed pretty sloppy to me too, but TF.. That's a different story. Also, TF2 does indeed rock.

    PC gamers

    I also agree with the OP. I have had problems since day one trying to aim on FPS games. I keep hearing that practice makes perfect, but it doesn't really seem to get much better. Also, you don't need a $400 video card every 6 months to be able to play games, but you will need to upgrade...

    Should i upgrade my X1950 Pro to a 8800 Series?

    There will always be that next greatest card right around the corner, but it wont always be this close. The D9P/D9E series is rumored to be coming out in 2-3 months, and will be announced and released on Valentines day according to official rumors. There was also word of an 8800GS in the...

    Xbox 360 FPS control

    Following this thread is interesting. I also play inverted and find it much easier to aim, although I can do fairly well with it on normal as well. Practice is the only way to get good. I have my roots in PC gaming as well, but it just takes time. Like somebody else said, don't focus on it...

    7800gt to 8800gt: a bad upgrade in my opinion

    If you are only playing at 1280x1024, what's the point in upgrading? The 7800GT should be able to play games decent enough at that resolution, even if you have to turn off AA/AF. In all reality, Crysis is the only game worth getting an 8800 series card for, and in my personal opinion, Crysis has...

    Fable vs Fable: Lost Chapters

    Great game by the way. You made a good choice. Also, it isn't EXACTLY the same. There are I believe 2 additional areas that you can explore and do quests in (Bordello and something else.. I forget) There's also additional quests at the end as mentioned earlier. One of the top 3 XBox games in...

    Upgrade computer or get a 360?

    hmm.. I got my Olevia 337H 37" 720P for $530 locally on sale. You can get several 32" LCDs for Sub $500. Any bigger though and you are breaking the bank. You might also be able to check locally for a Non-LCD DLP television. Something around 40" should do the trick (there are some nice Samsung...

    Upgrade computer or get a 360?

    360 is great, and I wouldn't give mine up for the world, but you have to have the right setup. Without an HDTV and some decent sound (even stereo speakers) a PC might be a better choice. Also, if you are going to upgrade your PC, forget the rebate garbage. I picked up an AMD X2 4000+, an AM2...

    XFX 8800GT 512MB @ Dell for ~$200 shipped + tax

    Try and order something different using the 20% Paypal link to the Dell website and see if it comes up throughout the checkout process. See if there is a link or popup window or something. Try an item that just comes up right after you click on the link.

    They won the war of perception... When did 260+$ for a minimal card became cheap?

    I agree with the OP. To me "mid range" has always meant $100 - $175, maybe $200 MAX. Anything above that was high end. The 8800GT is NOT a mid range card. The naming convention simply says that it isn't mid range. Any x800 or x900 or x950 from nVidia is going to be high end, plain and simple...
