Hmmmm, indeed.
Ok how about this! I just erased a ton of text cause I came across this. Blows all that other crap out the box but they are not marketing it yet. WHY? Just as I said... not enough media out for people to want to spend fat cash on it. Im sure this TV would put the Raging Final Atomic Demon Buster on your savings account.
Philips’ 56-inch HD 3D display has four times the standard resolution of any TV. That’s awesome. But the fact it can be watched with your own eyes without wearing silly glasses (or imposing a serious headache) is causing people to check themselves. Because they just might wreck themselves trying to figure out how it works and how to buy it.Yesterday, Philips unveiled the first Quad Full / Autosteroscopic 3D HD TV (see pic below) at a 3D event in Hollywood, after years of development. Quad Full TVs push through data at such a fast rate that they increase a display’s screen resolution to a truly sick 3840×2160 (or 8.29 million pixels), four times the number of pixels of the highest HDTV standard.
That’s important for 3D-focused screens, because the data speed and high resolution is needed to create believable, high-quality 3D images.
Autostereoscopic displays are an important innovation because they produce good depth perception without the use of special glasses. As Prof. Neil Dodgson from the University of Cambridge’s Graphics and Imaging department notes, street advertisers have used 3-D displays most recently because it’s the only one of the four main markets where a glasses-based 3-D solution can’t be used.
The three other markets (entertainment, scientific and medical visualization, and remote manipulation) could wait until the unit’s resolution capabilities caught up to speed.
But now that the Quad HD 3D TV genie is out of the bag, the technology is ready to go mainstream. Except there’s one tiny, but important part that’s missing.
Autostereoscopic displays, Prof. Dodgson says, ‘have the potential of making an impact in the consumer market. However . . . there needs to be a significant amount of good content, which it is currently lacking. (told ya)
Because content is king, Philips will promote their 3D WoW Technology with the TV.
3D WoW rewrites regular HD programming to 3D (wills edit: crap 3D as seen in Clash of the Titans remake) so users can pick for themselves which specific blade in the 3D version of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon will be coming at ya.
Still, Prof. Dodgson does think this TV significantly breaks the previous barrier of entry: the need for a compelling (read: real) 3D
experience with a great image quality.
The Quad 3D TV’s large collection of pixels produce images take advantage of the same ol’ right-left human optical trick, and its speed slaps the images together at once. This creates a large viewing angle (160 degrees) and a very high image contrast. Otherwise, the images wouldn’t pop out of the screen — they’d look transparent and uselessly weak.
Philips promises up to 46 views at once, which means the resolution is 23 times better than the crappy 3D you’ve seen before.
Yea... like I said... $25,000 price tag currently. Even though its still not on the market.
Do you forget that when Plasma sets came out, a 42" set would run you around the same? Yet here' the kicker with that, Plasma technology had been around for DECADES prior to it becoming consumer TV gear...

The wii is (and im really sorry to all Nintendo heads) a big pile of junk.
What have Nintendo done for its faithful one super mario game with another in the works bar the side stroller?
No real new metroid (i haven't heard metroid on Wiis praise at all)
and a few games like punch out etc...
No graphical finesse, it may as well be a gamecube with some magic wands.
I fucking love nintendo but the past few years have seen nintendo surive on mainstream crap...
I still think its pretty much the end of hardcore nintendo.
I can't agree with that. I own a 360 and over 30 games, and while it gets the majority of my play, my GF also owns a Wii and I think it's awesome when effort is put into the games.
I bought Metroid Prime Trilogy for her Wii, and I love what they've done with the Wiimote for all 3 games. The problem is with devs that don't actually make use of the controller, and MAKE it a gimmick...little waggles to do something they should have programmed full motion to do ie; Swing a sword, swing the controller...not barely move it, or your sword barely moves, ya dig? This IS possible, the devs just have to actually do it, instead of just copying and pasting source from the SDK for basic motion into their code.
There is an accelerometer in the remote for a reason, it's just rarely used.
Too many 3rd party devs being lazy and trying to make a quick buck are the Wii's problem, the Wii itself is awesome and there are enough games all-told, to make it a respectable purchase.
If you want to talk Shovelware though...I STILL point the finger at the PS2. Touted as having the largest library ever? Sure, but once you pull all the junk out, you're left with what? Enough A list titles to count on 2 hands, and the B rated ones on my toes?
I don't count multi-platform games, remakes or arcade ports as titles for a system btw.

It IS the glasses that kill it. It's bad enough they are required, but they add $200-$300 PER PERSON to the cost of your already overpriced TV.
If they want this to take off, they're going to have to at least start including enough glasses with TVs, for your average family of 4.
People will get used to it though, just like we gamers got used to being shafted with new consoles. They only come with ONE controller now and NO game (Unless it's a special bundle, that comes after launch), even the damn Wii which is marketed as a "Family" experience, and a second one will set you back $60+.
Funny how a system can cost $200-$300, and include one...but buy one separate and it's $60-$70.
If people are dumb enough to buy it and not complain, it will keep getting sold. The most brand recognized companies FEED off of this. Apple, Sony...

Glasses required = UTTER FAILURE!
This is 2010...not 1970. If I wanted glasses, I'd put those stupid ass red/blue ones on and be done with it.
The hell with your $10k TV, and your $200-$300 a PAIR glasses.

If I have my Mega Man and Ironman team, I'll play it. If one of them is missing, fawk you.

cinder wtf man lol and johnny cash FTW lol u wont hear many black guys say that shit lol
Oh damn! You're black and you live in Arkansas? You are brave...
At least that means my last post doesn't apply to you. Never met a black redneck...
-
lol we got a hood here called Rock Island that barley has rocks and is no where near an island lol
Well you ARE in Arkansas...3 things come to mind. Trailers, Mayonnaise sammiches and sister fucking.
Damn, did I say that out loud?
-
Black helmet.
That is all.
Had...not a fan, very hot. Brutal when you're sitting at an intersection waiting, I'd get home and my helmet lining would be soaked on hot days. Helmet was hot to the touch on the outside, could probably cook an egg on it at those intersections.
-
I just saw one of those retarded mohawks yesterday actually. What the hell is the point? They look stupid, why don't people realize they look like a retard?
-
I hate it when assholes put a mohawk on the helmet. Thats so fucking lame.
Random... I know
Say what? Not know what you speak of...
I love seeing the morons wearing shorts and a t-shirt, would love it even more to see them after a crash.

My mother by the looks of it and my neighbor.

New helmet picked up today, now I just have to drop it off Sunday for Safety Certificate and it's on like Donkey Kong!

Evicted...buying new video game. I don't suppose you're being evicted for non-payment of rent?
Yes...fail indeed!

I've been told its a lot better than dirt biking, ill have to start off on a pussy 125cc The aim is to get a bandit in the end though.
There's nothing "pussy" about a 125, that's what my CBR was and it could still hit 135km/hr and I could outpace a guy at work that road a 1000cc Goldwing in winding roads.
Douchebag squids that head right for litre bikes, wearing shorts and a t-shirt are the only ones that would find it "pussy", and most of them wind up as pavement grease.
I had 2 guys riding Harley's come over to me once, tell me my bike was nice and when I told them the "what" and "why" of my bike choice they told me I was smart, and anyone that thought otherwise would be an idiot.
btw, the "What" being that I chose a 125, the "Why" being that my bike insurance for FULL coverage was less than my car with only Liability. Going straight to a 600 would be insanity for insurance.

Its understandable one single shoulder cant lift mountains, but there are many of the willing who seem capable enough of offloading with as much as they could (like decreasing the burden of news from robert), updating the old dark them in case it needs to be, and overall just the usual routine.
I don't think anyone but staff are able to post in the news section, and I don't do news...never have. We can't even change that so the rest of our members could, no access to the ACP.
Biggest problem we have is that lack of ACP access, or we could get stuff done.

Yeah, I am considering going in for my bike test, when I started off on dirt bikes My old EX friend had been riding them for years compared to me who had only had a few goes, couple of weeks in he had more crashes than me, its all about been disciplined and enjoying the power when its safe to do so.
Street bike is a completely different beast than a dirt bike, especially a sport. It's like the difference between a car and a helicopter lol
-
Its been a long time coming. I remember when you busted ass on the red one. And yes, I recall you had to do what you did, Im not saying you fucked up.
Like I said, Id love one but I don't trust myself on it, or others while on it.
I wanted one last year, but for obvious reasons it wasn't in the cards. I only got this one thanks to it being my best friends GF's sisters bike.
Accidents - a guy I know got hit with the "look twice for bikes rule" he broke nearly all his ribs, his arm, his shoulder, his wrist... Apprently he had just bought a high quality crash helmet and if he was not wearing that he would of been deadski.Liking the kawaski Im a convert to their stuff now, I hope to own a ninja one day.
My 2008 CBR was a complete write-off, I walked away with a bruised shoulder. If you don't ride like a douchebag, you'll be fine...I feel safer on a bike than I do in a car, even with the jackasses that do stupid stuff around bikes. Too many hotshots get a 600 or bigger for their first bike, and wind up in a wheelchair cause it's too much bike for someone riding cause it's "Cool".
did you give it a name?Not yet, my daughter gets to name the vehicles in the house. Our first car was "Ruckus" lol
-
Picked it up today, for a steal of a price with only 4300km on it. I was so jonesing for another bike, it had to be done.
-
Pfft, ems just stick it in her ass and be done with it.
P.S. All women like it in the ass, they just don't know it yet...
-
Did you try a different cable? If the cable is connected properly, and is not damaged, you will get indication from that LED even if it's the incorrect cable type, that the link is established...you just won't have any network activity possible where the wrong cable is used.

Since XP, MS' defrag program has actually done a better job, better than the 3rd party programs I used to use.
I use a batch file, set to defrag my drives while I'm at work using Task Scheduler.
defrag.exe C: -f defrag.exe D: -f defrag.exe E: -f defrag.exe F: -f defrag.exe G: -f defrag.exe H: -f defrag.exe I: -f defrag.exe J: -f defrag.exe K: -f

This will be a closed thread, and I'm going to put the Xbox forum on my "Watch" list as it seems it's full of a bunch of children lately.
Keep things civil people, this thread serves no purpose other than to instigate. There are numerous other threads in this forum with merit from everyone that has posted childish banter in this one, I'd like to see more of that and no more of this. I'm not going to single anyone out, ban anyone or say any more than I already have...consider all of yourselves "told".
Yes, thread closed and because I saw fit...not for any other reason.

Mostly disagreement on my part there too, the Cube controller is THE most ergonomic controller I've ever used, it's Analog shoulder buttons far superior to anything to date and just feels right in my hands. My only gripe is the ridiculously small d-pad.
Hideous design? I disagree 200% there, there is alot crammed in that little cube...that fits well anywhere you put it, and it looks nice too, if you have a platinum one like I do. In it's generation, it was THE best looking console. The PS2 and Xbox were abominations style-wise with what sat in my entertainment center.
I will agree with the lack of games, but I wouldn't call it abysmal...you're reaching there, and I'm willing to bet you simply don't know most titles to be had on the system.
