My first Xbox 1 didn't even have the Live menus on it because it was before it was born. Now look how far XBL has gone.

It would be hard without it, but it would be possible. Just look how we played back in the day.

Plus, I have my PC.

CoH is the best RTS for WWII on terms of strategy. But if you want an all-out blast of an RTS then play Solders: Heroes of WWII. Now that is an underrated masterpiece.

Granted, Faces of War tried to be the "second" in the series, but it isn't the same.

[QUOTE="Disco_Joe"]If you change your computer hardware, does that void your warranty?DarkRecruit

Yea just opening the case voids the warranty. There's a sticker on the case that if you open the case it tears, you can't use your warranty if the sticker is broken.

Neither my old Alienware nor my current Dell has a sticker, so I'm not sure what you are talking about... unless you were sarcastic.

Plus the manual even recommends opening the case to clean from dust, which I do every two or three months.

Batteries are for suckers.

I bought the rechargeable battery pack a while ago. Forget batteries. When I see the battery life is about half, I just plug it in the charger overnight.

Also, you can hit the logo on the controller to open the dashboard and you can see on the top right your battery life.

On top of that, Alienware said they would extend the one-year warranty for free. Once the warranty was up, they denied saying that and that was that. Now it sits, once again broken, collecting dust in my closet while I enjoy my Dell XPS desktop that I have had ZERO problems with in eight months.

Overall, DON'T ever purchase a gaming laptop. They get hot and gaming and laptops just don't mix. Secondly, Alienware customer service is crap.

If you are uncomfortable with building a machine yourself, Dell has a great XPS line and their products are trustworthy. I could have built my own rig but I chose to go with Dell because of the great warranty (four years free) and the price was amazing, too. They have great deals right now and around Christmas.

Good luck.

I like Dell myself. I currently have an XPS desktop from them and it does wonders, and for a great price, too.

There is a great bargain going on now at Dell. You could get a P4 quad core, 4GB of RAM, a Geforce 8800 at 756MB, Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card, Aegia physics card, and other goodies for $2100 (sorry some specs are off the top of my head, but go ahead and build yourself one now and you'll be impressed).

Build one and see what you can get for your price range. You'll be surprised.

Overall I would definitely say nothing but good about Dell.

I totally agree with you. I don't understand why we can't vote to a .1 rating!

Please bring this feature back! There's a huge difference between 9.0 and 9.5.

I noticed that since the new site update a while back that I am unable to rate games by .1, only by .5, which is not how it used to be. Do I have to write a game review to have more accurate ratings?

For instance, for R6V on X360, I can only slide the rater from 9 to 9.5 or 8.5 and so on. I cannot rate it 8.8 or 9.1, for example. I know I was able to do that in the past.

Is there something I'm missing? Thanks.

Blue Dragon, The Bigs, Ace Combat, and something else i cant remember..plsu they have a bunch of arcade games. if you have live just get on there and lookmother_farter

I'm lovin' the sig. :)
