I picked up a WD TV Live Hub a few months ago. I’m having trouble setting up the wireless configuration. I can upload movies through a memory stick but it’s annoying. I’m running Windows Vista which may be the problem but I am not sure. Anybody else have a media server and running Vista? I also have a 2 TB HDD which I cant seem to format. It seems like it gets to 99% and then is unresponsive. I’ve read a few places which say it’s because it’s 2 TB so Vista is unable to format? Any help would be appreciated!

Question does the newer basic XBox 360’s have internal wireless? Or do you still have to buy that stupid antenna separate?[/quote]

All the new 360’s have built in wireless.[/quote]

Cool. Kid who works for me his sister bought a new big screen TV and they gave her a 360 and she is selling to me for $150.[/quote]

Brilliant! You’ll soon be abandoning your PS3 then, lol.[/quote]

Oh Hell no, I am only buying this so I can game on games that are not released for PS3 (GOW 3). Got to have the blue ray brother.

Anybody get Fear 3 yet?

GI Joe 2 News:

  • Dwayne Johnson as Roadblock, RZA as Blind Master (Snake Eyes’ teacher), some dude as Flint, and some girl as Jinx.

  • Script written by the guys who wrote Zombieland.

  • “slated to begin [filming] in New Orleans this August, with only Ray Park (Snake Eyes), Lee Byung-hun (Storm Shadow), and Channing Tatum (Duke) reprising their roles from the previous film.” Hmmm. No JG Levitt as Cobra Commander? Weird.

  • Release date August 2012.

As a PS3 owner you of all people should know that GOW = God Of War.

I am also thinking about a 360, but only for Left 4 Dead, Dead Rising 1, and a few others that I can’t get on PS3 (I know they are available on PC but my current rig would not run them to an acceptable level for me).

:slight_smile: Gears of War also for the X junkies, I played 1 & 2 and loved them. Never got into Halo, I played it but I dont know why just didnt interest me.

I can spend $150 bucks and get the XBox if I wanted a rig to play PC games it would be 10 times that much. Plus I like my 50 inch Plasma to game on and my comfy recliner as apposed to a small screen and computer chair. The reason I stopped gaming on PC a long time ago.

RSGZ,

Photos taken with the Nokia N9 prototype:

(much better. see shot of water stream. questionable bias due to source?)

So clean. Awesome color rendition (not overly saturated). Sharp.

So has anybody picked this up yet? I played the first two and were decent fun, 1 was better.

I heard the first one, played at night and with surround sound, was so memorably disturbing.

Sienna Miller and the redhead were both incredibly hot in the first one.

WOW

Nokia has always been the leader in phone camera technology - this is really impressive.

For a picture from a phone, this is pretty awesome.

If I’m not mistaken, those photos look they’re taken at Kew Gardens in West London.

Yes yes it was, its always hard to replicate this type of emotional response for a game. Bioshock, Resident evil 2 etc

How are you guys embedding images so that they can be clicked on and enlarged? It doesn’t happen for me when I do photo{close tag]

It’s just when you attach an image, I don’t think embedded images are setup to be opened that way.

Yeah, but the script wasn’t. Honestly, that movie sucked. It had nice special effects, bit that can’t help crappy writing and acting. Channing Tatum sucks as an actor. I am mad because I should be a movie star too if that is all you need as far as talent.

I hope they can salvage that which was the travesty of giving Snake Eyes LIPS on a mask.

Also why Wayans and the comic relief angle, they targeted that movie at 14 year old boys. I was very disappointed, no 14 year old boys knew WTF GI Joe was. This should have been geared for the over 30 crowd because we grew up on GI Joe.

And yes Tatum sucks
