Yea I wasn't expecting to get the good speeds I get now while using them. My apartment building is kinda old too so they must be doing something to make them work without issues.
They did, though seems they're starting to perfect the voodoo magic that gets these things to work. I think a lot of it depends on the condition of your wiring too.
Just wanted to say thanks to those who helped with my networking questions. The switch is perfect; works like a charm and saves me having to rifle behind my moviecase every time I need to change connections. So yeah, thanks!
Awesome! :thumbsup:
Yeah, such an easy solution, thanks. You don't even have to think, just fill the holes and away you go!

this is why i ran cat5e through my house heh. i don't have to worry about wifi strengths or drop outs.
I'm starting to open up to the concept of the Wii U after playing PS4 games on my Vita. Problem is that most of the games it does have are derivative of a lot of stuff that appeared on the Wii. I'm not a Mario fan either. They really need to get a good, original Zelda adventure on there and open up the chest to other franchises that haven't been touched in a while. A modern Star Fox game in HD would be fantastic.

Eurogamer updated their PS4 launch sales I posted earlier.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-12-02-playstation-4-uk-launch-sales-are-over-250k
PS4 : 250k in 48 hours.
XBO: 170k in 2 weeks.
WIU: 150k in ~1 year.
The One has been out 2 weeks already? Where?
Anteas, you must have never played Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, Mario Kart Wii, Smash Bros or Mario Galaxy (1 & 2). Go look at the review scores on those titles, all above 80 on metacritic. The mass populous of gamers and critics love the "rehashed" Mario/Zelda reincarnations.
People like familiarity and fun. You throw in the nostalgia aspect and it just makes a perfect recipe. It's not like Last of Us was much different than Uncharted, they were basically the same style of game with a partner NPC thrown in. It sold like hot cakes, it got rewards left and right, and its making people buy PS3's right now because you can't play it on PS4. To stop a long post, I'll just say this; people love Nintendo. They will keep making Mario, Zelda, Metroid, "kiddie" games because that's what Nintendo is. If there is no Mario, there no is Nintendo.
Yup and Knack outsold Super Mario 3D World (though Knack was bundled with some PS4's and they count bundled titles as well).

I actually used 3D on my home theatre for the first time ever. Downloaded the Trine 2 demo and my system detected it was 3D, so I said ok and took a pair of 3D glasses out of the plastic. Was actually pretty cool; provided some nice depth on the game. Not sure it will be something I do often since it is rather uncomfortable, but kind of neat.
So it looks like February is when the next crop of games come out? Anything super interesting in the next couple of months?
I've tried out Trine in 3D on my desktop, and it's certainly a nice experience. It's probably one of the best 3D games that I've tried.
Did you use active or passive?
Infamous: Second Son comes out 3/21.
Active I guess. They have an on-off switch, so I assume that makes them active? They just came with my projector.
I'll look at Infamous, thanks. I am mildly intrigued by Mad Max as well.

Active glasses usually have some sort of battery and require a connection to tell the shutter when to flicker. Passive glasses are lighter and dont use a battery, it is closer to what you have when watching a 3D film at the theater.
Well these were not all that heavy, but they came with a micro-usb cable for charging. They also paired with the projector when I turned them on.
So whatever that is, that is what I am using.
Definitely more substantial than the theatre glasses.

Active then. I have no idea if there is a difference in picture quality.
The hardware really holds back the potential. It has for years. I can only imagine what they would do with Zelda on the ps4 hardware. Not to drag it too far off topic but didn't Nintendo admit that they didn't know how to handle or work in HD? Like they didn't realize they needed a new development approach and more staff working on a particular title?
Is there any word on them patching in 3D Blu-ray ability anytime soon? Was going to grab The Hobbit so I could catch up before Smaug comes out, but if it's not going to be until next year then there is no point in doing it now.
