@Quote: CES is a consumer electronics show, video game consoles are consumer electronics, consumer electronics play video games, therefore CES is now a video game tradeshow ;p #consumerelectronicsshow
@dagamer34: yup, plus new pc hardware is introduced to the public at ces, and the xbox and ps3 are made with... you guessed it pc parts, i'm just glad its not only cell phones at debuting at ces now, hopefully they'll show more natal and the ps3 motion controller #consumerelectronicsshow
@Quote: oh, yeah i dont know all the memes kuz there are just plain too many!
i was just daydreaming about the "good ol days" and all the craziness that occurred at CES. like namco talking about releasing a new console, or atari dropping plans of localizing nintendos first console after seeing donkey kong on competitors hardware.
i only wish things could be that exciting again, e3 and tgs were so boring this year (for the most part.. e3 had a few decent surprises). #consumerelectronicsshow
I got this press release and only one question came to mind. What in the hell does that mean? Last year, there was nothing in the gaming section to even think about, let alone to really look at.
@Jamez: well last years show was really mroe about Bluray winning the format war. This year we're seeing new controller implementations that should start appearing in the spring. PlaySTation wand, Natal, new DDR Pads. So there is certainly more available to show off at CES. Last years CES really didn't have anything in the gaming arena we didn't already know about. #consumerelectronicsshow
@KazeEternal: That's assuming we'll see anything with the PlayStation want (publicly) and Natal. That said, Natal might be shown off since Microsoft will have a booth in the gaming section, though I doubt it'll be shown publicly as well. #consumerelectronicsshow

I hated the original Xbox when it came out, but Halo was awesome, then when the 360 came out, I was very much back to the hating of the system again. I bought my ps3 6 months after release and love it, but each day I read more and more about the 360 and realize how much I am missing out. Not that the ps3 can't do what the 360 does, its that the 360 does things the ps3 doesn't do, just like the ps3 does things the 360 doesn't do. Playstation brand will always be my brand of choice, but i really want a 360 now
"It is active members - you have to own an Xbox 360 and if you're not active in the last six months, we recycle the gamertag and we remove your account."
I don't know about that...I've had an old gamertag (from a different account) I've wanted to go back to for years, but never did because it's still active despite me not logging into it since the XBox 1 days. If they really did "recycle" it I should be able to change my current gamertag to it...last time I checked I wasn't able to.
@KaneRobot: Yep, just tried again and it says the old account is still active. Not sure what good "recycling" the account (whatever that means) does when it still just sits there and the name is locked down.
@Combichristoffersen: Oh yeah? I loved McWhertor way before he became a dandy with suave hair.

@Michael McWhertor: The silly thing can't copy-paste (*head asplodes!*)! Copy Paste!! iPhones should just be a portable browsing device because that's one hell of a browser it's running for a portable.
Well that should mean 17 million people bought xbox live for 5 dollars and the majority payed at least 60 for people who bought thier adapters.As I'm typing this MS made 3 million more dollars.....
@kwkwyjib0: The majority most definately did not pay 60 dollars for a wireless adaptor, you'd have to be really insnae to do that. Why pay such a premium on something that is official, get a much cheaper wireless reciever that works just as well? (I would never use wireless to play games online either...)
Then again, I guess the majority of the world aren't really that intelligent, and some of them probably did waste the money on the official wireless adapater.
@NeVeRMoRe666: Naw. There are ways to set up wireless access point devices to work with the 360. There's still a cable from the 360's RJ45 jack to the access point.
17,000,000 active users is A LOT. And I agree on his point about the apples to oranges in comparing to PSN. It is definitely two far different scenarios. Though, as a gamer, they both rock (it's what we live for, it's what it's all about. I lead a sad life.)
@Matthew Aaron Harper: How does he know Sony weren't concervative with their numbers?
I'm not saying they were but is he really an authorative - besides - how many of the xbox live numbers were Gold Account holders, do silver accounts class as active?
I'm just glad that the post said that they were Wii Knockoffs... for a second there I thought that someone melted down a Stormtrooper and made some sex toys and a cable modem.
Which is fine... a lot of us Kotakuites who have been around for a while hate Stormtroopers.
I just pre-ordered from a local Gamestop, and was told today is the last day to do so. I heard somewhere that only 3000 of these are being produced for the first set. This seems a bit unlikely, though, considering how many ebgames and gamestops were preselling (along with Amazon and others). I just hope they honor the preorder!
@Knoxximus (XBL/PSN): 2?!? damn, I wanna party with you! LOL. I'll give you 2nd round.
Anyhow, do yourself a favor and upgrade the springs with Seimitsu LS-32 Spring(s). They are so much better than the Sandwa springs. Here's a video on replacing the springs (don't do the double-spring mod, it sucks unless you play standing up and have leverage).

Gamertags are definitely recycled after 6 months. I have some friends who changed to their prior Gamertag.
Unfortunately, you may have to give MS a call.
