alphaalphaalpha3Was it worth the effort to comment on this article if it's not even worth the effort to enter the free contest for this article? Yes. For me it's not worth the effort to enter because I never win anything. In fact, if I did win anything, I'm sure the entire universe would unravel.

Diablo 3 is the worst case of DRM punishing the user that I have ever purchased. When the servers go down, you have these completely useless bits on your hard drive. Can't play when Big Brother isn't watching you! I will never buy another Blizzard product again.

I got 20 minutes into the game, and then my session was "terminated." Tried for over an hour to get back on and was greeted with nothing but "300025" (or whatever) errors. Of all the people who tried it, I had not heard of anyone else kicked off once I got on. Hopefully I won't encounter this...

DrChips"No graphics card in that list failed as absolutely as the 3DFX voodoo 3/4/5 " I have a Voodoo 3 2000 from years ago which still works perfectly. I love that card.

Oh, yes, and I was also sold an IBM Deskstar (not the 75GXP model) by my favourite local computer store. Within a few months, it crapped out completely. Should have learned my lesson after having an IBM 486 desktop that required *expensive* IBM RAM to expand past the 4 Mb mark. NEVER EVER buy...

Where is the nForce 750-790 motherboards and the video corruption bug which, when trying to play a youtube video or virtually any other video not under openGL, it would hard-crash your system, and nVidia refused to acknowledge or fix this for *years?* I made the huge mistake of buying one, and...

kcorp2003so Q2 2013? FormataMy thoughts exactly... No one on the dev team up to the producer role? Surely a D3 dev team member, who has been working on the game would be a more logical choice. This is a weird development, maybe it really is further away than we think Hell, I'd be happy with...

I picked up two Seagate 4 Tb's just before the flooding for $219 CDN a pop. I debated on buying a third, decided against it.

Windows BSOD's should now be referred to as BSOWTF's.

Ready in months? Good, that means I'll get Skyrim out of my system by then.

lp231...basically the eSATA drive becomes a internal cause you lose the ability of hot plugging and swapping. I have an external drive which has eSATA, USB 2.0 and Firewire. I'm using it on USB 2.0 for this very reason: hot plugging/swapping.

I have four external WD 3 Tb drives on USB 3.0, achieved with a four port hub plus a controller which plugs into the PCI 1x slot (motherboard does not have USB 3.0 native). I'm lucky if I can get 50 Mb/s sustained transfer from the internal HD to an external. It's about 2.5X as good as USB 2.0...

So let's see: 1) Ubisoft requires a permanent Internet connection to play their games. Your internet goes down, no games for you. 2) Ubisoft deletes your transaction history, so in some cases if you didn't download the game, or you have to wipe your hard drive and reinstall Windows, you...

At least the location eligibility requirements are right up front for a change. I *hate* having to waste time sifting through the rules to find out I'm automatically disqualified.

mayankleoboy1now how about giving it away in a contest? And while we're at it, how about opening that contest to people who live outside the US. Or is that just asking way too much?
