    EB Games is a ripoff!

    That's a rip off!? I wouldn't give you the time of day for National Treasure on UMD and there's no way you'd get $50 for the old DS selling it yourself. EB does not exist to help you break even on purchases you're no longer happy with.

    Hacking It seems impossible that the DS has no graphics chip/3D chip

    Have you seen 3D on the DS? It lacks respectable poly counts and frame rates. It can do 2000 poly's at 60 fps. The problem, of course, is that you tend to hit the texture limit before that depending on what type of game it is. The other thing to keep in mind is that it has two processors that...

    Gaming Getting a 360 for Christmas

    1.) Now that you can install games to the hard drive (with surprising results) and if you're interested in XBLA games, I'd recommend the 60. My roommate's 20 is constantly full. 2-3.) Go where there's a deal that interests you. I'm sure there's no shortage this time of year. It's hard to say...

    Cousin is going through hair loss problems.

    If you're under 40 and going bald shaving your head is the only honorable thing to do. I guess he could also just wear a hat regardless of the situation like Mike O'Malley and Ron Howard. That takes a special kind of commitment, though. It's also really jarring in situations where it's not on.

    DS #2992: Pass the Pigs (Europe)

    I'm so downloading this. My mom will get a hoot out of it when I see her this Christmas. PIG OUT!!!

    Resident Evil

    Play the remake of the first one on game cube for sure. It does justice to the original and will help bring you in to the game if you've never played them before. Basically, if you enjoy that then the rest of the franchise will fall right in line. 2 and 3 are also excellent games. 4 is a great...

    I hope everyone likes socialism.

    Does it embarass you to play your DS in public?

    Only games that require using the microphone. I once turned off Resident Evil rather than blow out the candles while I was on a plane trip. On the other hand, I don't like to see that kind of crap in a game regardless of where I am.

    Coax -> composite -> TV? HALP!

    I've never seen a DVD player with an input. The one linked above will work fine...$30 fine, anyway...to play DVD's but you won't get a coax input. I don't think there's a cheap or small way to get around that short of buying a portable TV.

    Gaming What's the difference between Arcade and a regular 360?

    The arcade is also missing out on component (the HD) cables and a wireless controller. It's not just the hard drive. On a side note, if you think $50 a year for live is a waste then you should try playing a game and being able to communicate with your friends on another console. I don't think I...

    Hacking FAKE NDS! did it happen to you too?

    First off, seeing HK is a HUGE red flag. Remember this in your future ebay purchases. Second, are there any pictures? I'm very curious about what it looks like. Edit: I just did an ebay search. If you got what I'm looking at I would have been suspicious from the start.

    Gaming Xbox 360 Questions

    A little off topic, but Live is worth $50 a year (or 12+1 free if that's still going on). That console really shines when you are using the online features. It's especially true if you want to game with friends.

    Hacking How well do Kingston 2GB microSD made in Taiwan cards work?

    No problems with mine.

    Hardware Wii Component Cables?

    I had the Nyko cables. They were heavier duty and had a better/tighter connection than the official ones. The only reason I got them is because they were the only ones I could find on store shelves back when I was looking but I have no complaints. With any of them you're going to notice a much...

    Hacking what is flashme?

    Flashme is from the old days of slot 2 flash cards. In simple terms, to the best of my knowledge, it made the DS think there was a game in slot one. You could either have a passme device (which modern slot 1's have under the hood) or if you were cool you'd put flashme on your DS so you wouldn't...
