    Intel X25-M 120 GB SSD $204.99 ($229.99 - $25 MIR)/ MIR starts June 19, 2011

    Is the rebate in the form of a AMEX pre-paid card? The last time I did this deal through Amazon, the rebate came in the form of a AMEX pre-paid - which isn't too bad if you have a cell phone bill to pay off - but others may not like it that it's not a check.

    6/14/11 Steam Midweek Madness: Darkspore 40% off

    On the first week of release, the game was available at Fry's retail stores for $34.99, so it's not really that shocking of a price tag. Also this game grows on you - me and my wife have been playing it for the last 2 weeks quite a bit. Different strokes different folks.

    Super Hot GPS Deal, Garmin Nuvi 3790T for $140 at BB normally $350 BIG YMMV

    Thank for the heads up on the deal. Seems to be a huge YMMV already when it started - and now it's practically dead unfortunately. To be honest - with GPS built into most smart phones today, the prices of these dedicated units has been dropping significantly and will probably continue. A few...

    Monthly fee for Steam, how much would you pay

    I game a lot, and if the service meant literally any PC game in their entire library, than I'd go up to $19.99 a month. A year of service would be $239.88 - which is equivalent in price to about 5-6 "AAA" title games in total now. Keep in mind I assume the games can be played from ANY...

    New C&C in the works

    Ditto, exactly how I feel. Lots of Lan nights, money matches and all around fun with C&C 3. The competitive scene was there - and that's what makes an RTS fun IMO. In any case, not sure what to think about another C&C. C&C 4 was suppose to be the "end all be all" for the franchise, so...

    Just got this from ASUS...

    I just got my board today, and I didn't get a shipping label from FedEx to my e-mail yet either. Same problem as you as well - no update on the RMA page, not even my RMA Number. However, I did get an RMA number through the e-mail notification I got yesterday. Did you by chance FAX your...

    Just got this from ASUS...

    I just got the e-mail today and the Credit Card Authorization Form is also down for me at the moment. Anomaly1964, did you just call them and get a form directly or did you just try back at another time?

    Intel says flaw in Series 6 Sandy Bridge chipsets

    Like many people here I recently put together my SB rig and haven't been happier with a build since. It's a bummer that this came along, but it doesn't make a difference to me that much either considering I only use 2 Sata ports. (1 SSD, 1 Large Storage) I feel like I dodged a bullet in some...

    Final Fantasy XIV online!

    This is good news at least. I've always been a "glass half empty" type of guy toward FF XIV but hopefully things turn out for the better down the road. Without subscriptions though they're going to run into money problems fast. (Well at least those in charge will start to get irritated a bit...

    8GB vs 4GB

    Same. I got 16GB recently since I just upgraded to SB. It wasn't a smart or rational decision but rather influenced by current Ram prices being so low there's really no need to argue the point. Now if only SSD's would drop by $100 across the board, we'll be in business.

    Socket 1155 cooler recommendation?

    I'm using the same exact RAM on my ASUS P8P67 since Fry's had a sale of it here in SoCal recently. On the initial release BIOS (04xx something I believe) it only detected 8GB of ram. When I updated to the latest BIOS, it saw all 16GB.

    Applying thermal paste...

    Just a generic tube of TIM, gray in color. It's not as sticky or hard as the white paste stuff that I saw included with older heatsinks. It's a little on the watery side now that I think about it compared to the white stuff or pre-applied TIM on stock coolers. Just for the record I'm a...

    i5-2500k temps too high?

    Good luck with your RMA. The latest BIOS update for the P8P67 is here which is version 1253 FYI http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1578865 As for on-board temperature sensors - I never fully trust them as many enthusiasts don't either. If you have a couple of bucks to spare, a...

    i5-2500k temps too high?

    Hi there and welcome to Anandtech. (Well if you've been lurking here for some time, then welcome as a registered member) Of course - have you updated to the latest BIOS update from ASUS and set everything back to factory default? The only thing that comes to my mind immediately is that...

    Fry's price matching "internet price" now

    My local City of Industry Fry's has good deals IF they have the item in stock as other people have mentioned. It's not hard to price match, but good luck fidning anything in stock to price match anyway - especially advertised specials. By the way, the "bait and switch" thing couldn't be more...

    Incredibly annoying Mass Effect 2 glitch makes game a POS

    It's been a while since I played ME2 (I killed the game for myself - played it 3 times straight back to back) but I remember this glitch. I think it happened to me when I switched a weapon and then went in and out of cover too quickly. Mordin use to get stuck in walls a lot too now that I...

    Bioshock 1 vs. 2

    Most of the people who didn't like Bioshock 2 (like me) were people who had already played Bioshock. I don't think Bioshock 2 was a bad game overall - it was just too much of the same core game as Bioshock. As others have mentioned - it felt more like a glorified DLC or expansion pack than a...

    Bulletstorm, by People Can Fly

    Never heard of this game until now - but it looks like fun. If it's easy enough to pick up and play with my wife (which Borderlands was for her), then it'll be a blast. Other than that, looks like a weekend run through. Probably pick it up on one of Steam's insane sales.

    HUGE Amazon and Gamersgate PC Game sales! Lots of good downloads!

    Steam would tell you go to hell as well as Direct2Drive if you had any beef with your games that were in similar situations. This being Amazon - they probably would credit you with a gift certificate or something of that nature. Been shopping with Amazon for like over 12 years now - never...

    So I just bought Two Worlds II

    I've been looking into a game with co-op to play with the wife that isn't another MMO (We're already on a ton of those btw) I'm intrigued how co-op works in this game? Anyone care to shed some light for a fellow interested gamer?

    What card is after the GTX 580 / AMD 6970

    Whoops - I was about to post that PNY had their cards in stock from the official store - but I just double checked and they're all sold out.

    Divinity 2? Thoughts?

    I recently bought this game - I'm lukewarm with it. I think my perception has been thrown off due to finishing Fallout New Vegas / Dragon Age / Mass Effect 2 just recently - so I'm not in a position to give an opinion without a bias slant to it. Overall presentation isn't as polished as most...

    **Official** DC Universe Online - Beta thread

    I have to ask this - is there really a need for certain "classes or powers" in this game compared to COH? What really got me bored off of COH (A 3 year veteran myself) was the lack of a need for certain classes. Having a balanced team made you much more efficient yes, but outside of some...

    Elemental: War of Magic

    Thanks for all the information guys. I've been waiting to pull the trigger on this game for quite some time now - especially since I was (and I mean was) a big supporter of Demigod until that died a horrible whimpering death.

    Nook Color

    Not to thread necromancy - but I just recently got the Nook Color as a gift and it came with a dead pixel. Went to my nearest B&N store and exchanged it. Examined that one on the spot and it TOO had another dead pixel. Exchanged that one (to the digust of the store manager - who was about...

    Giantbomb.com Fallout New Vegas Review - 4/5 Stars

    I was in the same boat as you - befuddled on how people could have issues with Oblivion or Fallout 3 (I ran those flawlessly) Then... New Vegas kicked my ass, my rig's ass, and every troubleshooting trick I've learned up until this point in my electronic career. It's not that it runs slow...

    CDProject talks about piracy

    If the original game is DRM free, activation free, then I encourage anything they are doing. I'm still bitter about Sacred II activation DRM to this day, and probably hold a grudge like no other regarding it. Only when the company go under did the new publisher / owner decide to release a...

    Giantbomb.com Fallout New Vegas Review - 4/5 Stars

    Yeah I've locked in (according to Steam) 170 hours in New Vegas. I'm on my 3rd run through (and probably my last for now). Just really bummed that the CTD's ruin the experience in general.

    Giantbomb.com Fallout New Vegas Review - 4/5 Stars

    For the record - this game has caused me to optimize, clean, and update my system in every possible way imaginable. I have updated codecs, drivers, and sparkling clean registry all due to this game. I can't imagine my rig being more optimized as it is now. The whole point of my post is that...

    Anyone still play MUDs?

    Do you check new hard drives for reliability/issues?

    As funny as this sounds - I check the WARRANTY on the drive is valid before anything else. Since I mostly deal with Western Digital drives, a one stop to the warranty checker after I get a new drive is all I need to do make sure I have what I paid for. If something goes wrong with the drive -...

    Bioware, what happened to you?

    Speaking from nerd to nerds, am I the only one in a small circle of devil worshipers who eat the live still beating hearts of children daily... actually prefer and loved the Icewind Dale series more than the Baldur's Gate series? Anyone else? :(

    Best hardware upgrade of your "career"?

    Pentium III / IV --> Athlon 64 There were a lot of mind blowing upgrades in my time since my first 486. The VooDoo 2 being one of them (as mentioned a lot here - which I'm happy) as well as the Radeon 9800 Pro graphics wise. I would like to mention the very first time I experienced a...

    Divinity II : Dragon Knight Saga

    Technically yes - Think of "Game of the year edition", which means that it's the original game with a ton of extras thrown in and some original stuff redone. If you played The Witcher - that game did the same thing with "Enhanced Edition", which essentially was the core game with tons of...

    Divinity II : Dragon Knight Saga

    I've been eying this game for a long time - and due to the mixed reviews I can't bring myself to the price of admission as well as sacrificing a free weekend to flesh it out when there are a lot of other games already in my queue. That being said, you guys have convinced me enough to have this...

    Giantbomb.com Fallout New Vegas Review - 4/5 Stars

    You're lucky considering right now we're about to enter the holiday season. I think you may be able to get NV for PC probably for $39.99 in some type of sale. (Maybe, just maybe even $34.99) Keep in mind that Fallout is a very popular franchise, and Fallout 3 was selling very well at it's...

    Giantbomb.com Fallout New Vegas Review - 4/5 Stars

    The game was running suspect before patch, but the new patch made everything a lot more stable for me. I do use mods as well, and have had zero crashes with it. I did the old school method of using a .txt rather than the .bsa so maybe that's why I haven't encountered any issues. Keep in mind...
