After having used both, I can whole heartedly say that I've falling in love with my Mac despite my PC running circles around the thing at EVERYTHING. OSX practically dumbifies the user with it's ease of use but for an Imac 20", upgradabilty is extremely limited; even the internal battery can't be replaced at a user-level. The biggest hit for the Imac, specifically the 20", would have to be that horrible internal display Apple mistakenly went with. Harry Potter, anyone? It just so happens I watched about 30 secs of this on my MAC. I got treated to an orgy of stretched pixels and white-washed colors that looked so bad, I definitely tarnished that pristine image I had of Apple. Watching that same movie on my PC at full screen and it really put my mac, which prides itself on multimedia thanks to apple, to shame.. I love OSX but for the price of entry, it isn't worth it. PC's for 3/4 of price were not only faster, but sported larger HDDs and some even had BLU-RAY drives under the hood. With options like this available, it would be hard to knowingly buy a MAC unless you know what your getting yourself into (especially the part about what your getting).. I doubt if this comment helps but a MAC pro with bootcamp assistant (leopard) with a fresh copy of XP would work but my wallet isn't that deep.
M$ must have paid quite a shiny dime for this. Exclusive or not, gamers win. I really could care less about which platform it's heading to, I think we've waited long enough for this. The E3 is still far from over. I'm quite sure Sony will have something to respond to this. the way this is looking, it seems like square-enix is betting the farm on it.
what's wrong konami, guitar hero isn't selling like it ahould? Well, this is a business but a lawsuit like this is rather absurd. They've definitely lost cool points with me.
i said it once, i'll say it again, this puppy has seen better days and would be far better served as a wii exclusive for VC.. I was never a fan of watching some little guy run around in blue spandex and shooting things out his ...........forearm. Since this is certainly going to eat up all of 250-something kbs, why not include all the other games in the series and release this as an anniversary game? Capcom, this puppy needs to get put down.
the metion of any game outside of MGS4 would be silly but this generation is far from over. What's really crazy that if this trend towards motion sensing devices continues, the defining thing this generation isn't going to be a game but how we interact with our games. wii remote anyone?? Yuck, I feel sick..
PS3 has a chance of winning it just as much as 360 does.. If we sit down and do the numbers, it's obvious that nintendo's winning it. Quite frankly, i don't care who wins, it's the war that we benefit from. If MS didn't launch 360, we'd still be using ps2's. it's it weren't for 360, MGS4 probably wouldn't have launched this year. c'mon, you can't tell that sony would incur all these losess on the PS3 when, at the time and now, the PS2 still has the largest user base.
Piracy will force many developers to leave the PC market. Companies aren't going to invest heavily in a product when the expected returns aren't nearly what they could be. We need a DRM that not only satisfies end-users but also protects IP's. The only thriving market as far as PC gaming goes will only be MMO/MMORPGS. Alot of hermits act like 2 yr olds being forced to take their medicine. We need some type of DRM if this market is ever going to get better. Right now, it isn't in my opinion. Would you want to see more software-in-a-box type games decorating retail shelves and bargin-bins or see something truely revolutionary? Consoles will bleed the PC market dry. We brag about our framerates, our detailed environments and high resolutions but on a std/hd tv (which consoles are quite able to handle), you can't tell the differences between a PS3 and a high-end PC without a magnifying glass. consoles will be the future.
that's one option that i'm still going to pursue after my pockets heal a little bit.. i ended up reseating te hs/f, using coolmaster thermal paste.. i checked the temps in the bios again to see if they changed. i saw heat fluctuate from 51c to 67c.. the numbers didn't seem accurate, especially when the ambient temp is a constant 24c.. if i remember the threshold for proc, isn't 70~80C? When this error occured before, the temp climbed as high as 112c until i shut i down myself to avoid burning out the proc.. 70~80c versus 112c and above.. no this certainly was right.. I gooled my proc & mobo combo and foundother users having the same problem.. the temps that the bios ae wrong.. I any of you ar having the same problem, download realtemp..if will not only show the temp of your proc bt all 4 cores as well. turns out my proc was actually idle at 38C and 41~43c under full load.
