So i came up with this STUPID idea.

It was so stupid

It is 6.49$ on steam and I am gifting them on ebay for 7.50$!!!

I've sold 28 so far.

DogOfWarIII

http://cgi.ebay.com/Left-4-Dead-2-STEAM-EDITION-/280571590990#shId

so let me work this out ,

Ebay Fees = 15.0% of the final sale price, ( There are also listing fees which i don't know what they ended up costing you! )

Paypal Fees = 1.9%+ $0.30 USD

so your getting around $5.90 ish per game that costs you $6.49, oh that's a good business opportunity!

Its not a killing its a loss.

Your ebay sale = priceless!!! :)

just a shame steam will ban you too.

This made me laugh! :D

According to a recent survey, 63 percent of console owners believe the only thing stopping them from viewing 3D content is a firmware update.

Planetarion (www.planterion.com) on of the most adictive games i have ever played. with a huge user base. Funnly enough it is all text based. Then again the speccy and amiga had some games which had 10 x more playability than many of the games released today. Graphics are sweet but do not make a game. " all fluff no substance , seem a good cash cow for many developers now days."

Rating "M" and mature are two diffrent things.

Mature definition = Showing the mental, emotional, or physical characteristics associated with a fully developed person; involving serious thought.

Rating "M" = usual deffinition on games bucket of blood, a stream of foul profanity and a parade of naughty lady parts. Ironically, the very things that are included to win overimmature teenage boys.

id agree with above,

First suspicion is the PSU what make and model is it?

The hard drive clicking is some times the heads on the hard disk but if the power is failing it may cause this.

I understand what you are saying,

Also thank you for clearing that up, what im trying to say i suppose i should be more clear.

I dont class input and output devices as hardware per say but as "peripherals" a device which is connected to a host device which is not an essential part of the system to function.

a couple of points you have to take in to consideration when programming for a console vs pc is that consoles do not have disk backed virtual memory unlike on a pc.

You have a very limited amount of fixed memory to allocate instructions to.on a console you have to sqeeze every last drop out of what you can allocate, so basicaly extra control functions , deeper customization ect are generaly out of the window on a console. If you go over this on a pc you will get HDD thrashing on a console the game will just crash.

One other point about consoles is the low level OS they run, on a pc the OS has the ability to take control of many functions and do some of the horse work for the program, on a console yet again you do not have this facility so yet again the program has to be reduced and certain things need to be cut to keep it running smooth.

Peripherals play very little part in these isssue`s.

thanks :)
