    Hardware Wii Fit Plus Balance problem

    I've been using Wii Fit Plus for a few weeks now (give or take a few days) but today I found I couldn't use it because it skews to the bottom right.

    Hardware Second graphics card?

    Is it possible/wise to buy a second graphics card just for hooking up my desktop machine to my TV? My current graphics card is all I need for gaming but it doesn't support scaling (over HDMI) to correct overscan. I was thinking something cheap like a GeForce 9400 GT.

    Are we at the end of the pre-owned market?

    Gears of War 2 came with a one off code to unlock 5 additional maps and now WiiSpeak comes with a one off code to install the application. Is this future? Games will come with some sort of code that only works once to stop the pre-owned market. The pre-owned market is a very profitable segment...

    The number of releases is growing fast and I believe that there are either over 730 or over 930 depending if the Australasian releases are different. Shouldn't it have its own section on the front page?

    What the hell, I'm going grey

    I'm 24 and I've started to go grey, WTF. TBH I probably wouldn't have ever noticed it, but my mum was fussing (as they do) with my hair (trying to find more grey I assume) and she said I have a grey patch. I was expecting another 15-20 years before this started.
