Completely off topic but buying a PS3 tomorrow...

I need to know what games to get. I'm going to get the Killzone 3 bundle so I'll have that one, but I'm going to buy 3 other games as well. Got my heart set on Dead Space so I need two more recommendations.

Marvel VS. Capcom 3, if you like fighting games, that is. Don't know about a second recommendation.

Black ops is fun....but I'm over it already. And FFXIII? I didn't know they still made that game

Yeah I'll probably get Black Ops, I was a big fan of MW on 360.
I don't know about RPGs anymore, I was a huge fan of them back in the FF7 days but I haven't played one since then. Not really a fan of fighting games either.
Homefront looks badass.

FF13-2 Coming out in the winter! It's not for everybody though. If you like RPG's FF series are the best.
PS3 FTW by the way.

I agree. I havent owned a gaming console since PS2 back in like 2001. My friends want me to get a 360 so I can play with them but I've got my heart set on a PS3.

Ya I have not played since FF7 either and didn't like it then. Haha its def not for everyone. I can't wait for homefront. I hope its worth the hype. Xbox 360 ftw tho. Haha just wanted to recommend the new game

Oh but it is. If not for the picture (which is awesome, btw) but the sound quality improvements over DVD are ridiculous.

dude... are you just trying to flip the bird to the mods here? are you wanting to make a statement that you think XDA is a joke?

Some opinions?

What are your opinions on a laptop/computer? It won't be long before I'm looking into getting one. I definitely want something pretty powerful that can handle things like extensive video editing and HD capability. I will be using it for school as well so probably a laptop. I think a MacBook pro would be nice but I'm really REALLY anti-apple. I think its a nice computer but I don't like the cliche thing. I always just see people walking around with iPhones and I know how much better my android device is and just laugh in my head at how ignorant these people are but how about a MacBook pro? Or any other suggestions? I don't know a whole lot about computers so anything is appreciated, thanks.

Both really good. Wouldn't the Alienware be more suitable for gaming on the go though? They'll both cost a bomb though.

Don't go for Alienware unless it is the 11" one. The others are REALLY huge and heavy. They are meant for desktop replacements instead. Settle on a budget first, because laptops are highly commoditized.

Well it really depends on the specs that you're looking for but I'd say an excess of $1000+ easily.

I think he has more than that (he was thinking about buying a mac )

Haha well I don't have that much at the moment, but I really am just in a state of confusion. I'm really leaning to the MacBook and am looking to probably just make a partition for windows 7 ultimate in case, so that way I have the best of both worlds. I mean the hardware is really nice on the Mac and I hear apple customer service is great. I am torn between the dual core and the quad core though and I'd like to hear what you all think. The dual core is clicked at a higher speed but the quad core has a designated video/graphics card what should I go for?

So with the (likely) availability of this at 0600 GMT tomorrow, what are you going to do with it when yours arrives?

Interesting, but the poor quality of the datasheet greatly limits its uselessness. Also the main CPU is pretty weak.
A BeagleBone ($90) can do far more, and a PandaBoard ($180) is as powerful as a GNex. Both have far better documentation for the hardware on the board.

Need to dl moar ram for that

I've been following the Raspberry Pi for a while now, thinking of getting one and using it for a media sever or seedbox. Cheap, affordable, made for something simple, yep looks like it'll be fun

The only problem is the demand brought down both web sites that are selling the thing, and the available stock sold out in in a matter of hours. The sites are now back to normal but lead time is out to the end of April!
At least as they are being distributed through RS and Farnell, so they can now source a manufacturer capable of bashing together the required number of units fast enough. When they do turn up, they have got the infrastructure to get them out there, to those eager to gets their hands on one.
Anybody remember the delays trying to get your hands on the original Sinclair ZX80? Showing my age here, I'm afraid.
It looks like a very interesting piece of work, more a solution looking for a problem. I will try to get my hands on one when the all the hoo hah dies down a bit.
Time to roll your sleeves up and brush up your Linux skills. Get a GNU ARM C compiler running on it and let the fun begin.
How will you eat yours?

From the FAQ:
Will it run Android?
If someone in the community can port a version of Android to work with 256MB of RAM, then it’ll run on the Raspberry Pi.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So there's your answer: limited by 256 MB of ram. You would probably see similar performance to that of the samsung intercept . It has only 256 MB RAM on it. it even runs android 2.2!! http://www.virginmobileusa.com/cell-phones/samsung-intercept-phone.jsp
So, if anyone is willing to port android 2.2 yes, it can run android. Not very fast, but possible. Also, it will be able to run a chinese hacked version of flash that is made to run on armv6

my Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 has an ARMv6 too with 600mhz and only 168 MB RAM and i runs Gingerbread good so this little thing should do this to but i am not very familiar with this hardware so forgive mistakes ;-)

The R.Pi has same amount of ram as a Motorola backflip and its CPU is 200mhz faster then a moto backflip. I gave my lil sister my old moto backflip running cm7 2.3, so its possible to get gingerbread on the R.Pi Get that on it and I'm sold

Point of minecraft?

I hear alot about this game/thing... Whats the point of it? It looks like something that you building insanely pixelated. aated cities, lands etc... Just dont get it. There has to be more. What am I missing? I read there were like 200 million copies sold. And few million on phones

Just try to play and you'll understand...
It's super addictive.

It's just basically making stuff and downloading other peoples levels they made that you have to do and like the other answer you got it is rather addictive!

Well, you're also missing stuff like crafting and survival. Depends on what difficulty you choose. Try for yourself.

I was wondering the same thing, because a bunch of guys I know love it. I tried it myself and I was bored within about 10 minutes. It's either you build something which isn't very impressive, or you sacrifice endless hours to make something awesome. But at the end of the day you don't really get anything for doing it... So I see no point either

Pretty sweet achievement.. still has insane bugs..

If you're a call of duty type, then this game ain't for you.
Minecraft is more or less a creativity tool. If you aren't creative, then it's not for you.

Right now it's the pseudo equivalent of creative mode only. In creative mode, there are no monsters, infinite resources, and your character can't die.
Survival mode is really what brings out the flavor in minecraft, if for no better reason than you have to "earn" what you build by harvesting everything and *not* dying.
Initially the dev team (Mojang) wanted the pocket edition to be like creative mode only. Now apparantly they're giving it some survival mode teeth, as that's what the community has been clamoring for.
Here's to hoping there wont be too many corners cut. If so, I may have to hunker down and actually buy this one.
There is a free demo version for anyone who's curious. The demo version doesn't let you save your worlds, so whatever you build is gone when you close thr game.

I don't see a point to all the fuss, especially at that price. Apparently hardly any programs can even utilize that resolution so it scales it down anyways. If you're a video/photo editor then I can easily see the benefit. But for so many others who just use it for facebook and MS word, what's the point?

Not even so much video editing, unless you're working with 2k or 4k resolution. And if you were, you'd know right away, when the computer can't do anything in real time.

Besides the ridiculous pricing and the lack of programs supporting the screen's ability, I refuse to support Apple so long as their business practices include the inane lawsuit wars that they have been waging. I really don't care about the eliteist toolbags who use them sometimes because we have PC/Android/etc users who are the same, but I won't give a one cent to a company who conducts business like Apple does.

I still want this thing, and it didn't help that i checked out The Verge's review.

I read their review, on the machine itself, then took the pictures. The review doesn't really show how good the display is in real life. I really, really want to dual boot ML and W8 on it and turn it into a HDTV, along with finding an external Blu-Ray drive for it.
It's shocking how far ahead they are in build quality against the PC manufacturers.

Exactly. I want to dual/trippel boot OSX/Win7/W8. I'm not a gamer but it's also nice to know that it'll run most games just fine.

Not a good idea. The retina display means nothing but trouble with regards to Windows. Windows doesnt do well with really high resolutions. Don't expect any gaming at all either. The 650m isn't a terrible card, but if you put it under much stress, expect a lot of overheating. That chassis is just way to small to deliever adequate cooling.
Tldr: If you want windows, buy a native windows machine this time around.
