Da-****? $180 for a pair of head phones? No wonder you can't buy a 360. :p

180 bucks for the best pair of headphones that are full size yet I can still hear outside things and don't require an amp to still sound awsome.

Seriously, if you're only using 10 dollar headphones or the ones that came with your cd/mp3 player, get some Sennheiser PX100's for $40. They'll change your music forever. Mine finally broke today, and I was so pissed off, my grandma said that she'd buy me the ones I had been looking at and was gonna ask for as a graduation present.

EDIT: My headphones changed to Part 3 on the Newegg ordering status. Which means that they'll ship out monday :)

It's not terrible, but it's not great. There is enough neatness about it to make it worth picking up. One thing I gotta make fun of though is the repetion in the noises. When ever Rianna passes a level, or accomplishes something she kind of makes an arm gesture and says "YEAAAH" in the cheesiest Disney after school special way. That, and every person you shoot, when they finally die, they sound like a sick man on a toilet seat. They ALL make the same identical noise. Lots of neat ways to dodge the lazer bolts in this one. All in all, pretty good though. I give it a 79% :)

That is to be expected on a hand-held though, with limited storage space and sound taking up quite a lot.

Resident Evil on the DS has the same problem, mind you with resident evil DS it isn't the repetition of sound that annoys me, it is the really poor voice acting. you would have thought they could re-record it for the new release. I was quite disappointed that they used the original.

I want to get this:

http://www.divineo.it/divineo/images/products/nds-dsxtreme.jpg)

The DS-Xtreme is a revolutionary storage, homebrew and media player flash cart compatible with all DS Lite and original DS consoles.

Offering a SINGLE unified solution which allows you to do the unthinkable and push the limits of Nintendo’s ™ top selling handheld console. The DS-X does NOT require the use of a passme, external memory or any unsightly GBA cart, just one intelligently designed piece of kit, the same size as an ordinary DS cart, giving an unrivalled experience to any DS enthusiast.

Its plug and play in its finest hour, an in-built USB port on the DS-X paves the way for you to communicate easily between the DS-X OS and your computer. Drag ‘n drop all your favourite media and homebrew as you please directly onto the included 4GBit (512-Mbyte) memory with minimal effort as the DS-X will be instantly recognized by your machine.

Sadly every supplier seems to have sold out and the new stock is delayed or something.

BTW: I have no intention of using it to rip off Nintendo by downloading ROMs of their games, I just want to be able to run home-brew aps like DS-Organise (a PDA type program) and DSDoom (Again not ripping anyone off as you need an original WAD file to run it, which I already have, legally).

I agree, the game felt very intuitive on the Wii and I don't see myself going back to the old Zelda control scheme. But if I didn't own a Wii, I would have gotten the GCN version in a flash as well, it's the next best thing I guess ;)

And Zant is awesome, he's a breath of fresh air to the series IMO.

Critics panned this game but I actually like it. I started playing this on the 360 a few weeks back, and i'm having fun with it, but what I like about it most is all the different things you get to do in this game. It's got an interesting story, and a handful of famous actors doing the voice work. I think I appreciate this game for what it trys to do more than most people.

This PSP version is basically the same as the 360/PS2/XBOX/GC/PC version with a few added mini games and some quick play levels. Only thing that frustrates me and will ALWAYS frustrate me about the PSP is the awkward controls. This game is kinda hard without that other thumbstick, and sometimes the buttons don't do what you want them too. Otherwise this would be a great game.


At least it's better than Killzone Liberation...which despite it's rave reviews, I absolutely hated it. :mad:

I recommend that no one buy this. Seriously. I'm a huge Beatles fan and this made the Beatles sound absolutely terrible. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was turned into absolute crap, it seems George Martin just added really random sounds from their other songs into every single song. It seems like he just went crazy and decided to have a play around in some free music editor. The only reason I'm listening ahead is because I want to know how he ruined every single song on the disk, so then I can appreciate the classics more.

Seriously disappointed.

I am generally intrigued by all things to do with space exploration, the cosmos, and the outer unknown. Am in the process of creating a drama piece based on theories of outer space, so need a bit of "light" reading for "research". I love getting these kinds of books; they're huge, with lots of images and very few words...picture books for grown-ups...plus this one's got massive hi-res images of the Horsehead Nebula...damn, I love that nebula...
