When I was growing up hand-held video games had led lights and costed about $20. There's been a lot of inflation since then. Honestly I don't see how a $300+ hand-held gaming device is going to have a sufficient market. Its something like a $500 investment once you buy it and a few games for...

Great answer. If you don't have internet access you should use this ancient device that we've been selling for almost ten years. Or maybe a Super Nintendo or Atari 2600? Surely you people don't want to play modern games.

Hilarious way to make Microsoft look bad.

Any console manufacturer will release new models of the console at least every few years if they want to get sales, otherwise a lot more of the sales than they would like will go to the used market because the price is much less. Even if they only change the design of the faceplate and nothing...

The *most* important thing about any video card to me is how loud the cooler is. This is more important than performance even. I sit next to my computer all day and I don't want it to sound like a 747.

Looks nice, but where does the disc go in?

I don't go to Linux developers and tell them that I don't like what they are doing with Linux either, but I don't use Linux on my desktop computer and I didn't buy my operating system from any Linux developer or pay any Linux developer a second, third, or fourth time for an upgrade to it either...

Holy cow why would anyone loan anybody $75 million to make a new game studio run by a baseball player when game studios fail and go bankrupt constantly in the gaming industry and usually end up having their labors acquired by big companies like EA, 2k Games, Ubisoft, etc. on the cheap. I'd...

The time where there was a distinction between game console and computer has pretty much passed. They are the same now and it makes little to no sense to have a gaming console separate from your desktop computer unless its a handheld gaming device. Either the gaming console will become the new...

This seems really strange. Why have such massive display resolution and yet only 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of disk space. and apparently no DVD or BluRay player? You have no place to store large high-resolution content so what are you going to do that needs so much screen resolution? Run office...

Opera is conspicuously missing from this comparison. I think its great that IE10 uses less power since one of the main complaints about earlier Windows phones and tablets is that they used too much power because of the heavyweight Windows applications which resulted in shorter operating time...

I think its great to see a company that has long been focused on gaming making a game console. Rock on, MadCatz! Hope it works out for you.

What a joke! Who was asking for a start button? People wanted the start MENU back. All you had to do is move your mouse into the corner to get the start button to appear in Windows 8. The problem was what would happen after you clicked it. I upgraded to Windows 8 from Windows XP ONLY because...
