True. The Wii version should have more like 100+ songs on it. It should at the very least include the Metallica pack, and some of the other top sellers. There's no 5.1 surround, and no HD videos, so there's plenty of extra space on the disc for more songs, especially since the DLC songs are so small to begin with.

Wow, this is really fucking stupid. They should have released this 3 months ago if they were going to do such a HORRIBLE port. There is absolutely no reason to buy this game, just get the PS2 version and save $10 if you are waiting for this one.

Solitaire?! Finally, a 3rd party developer releases something innovative for the Wii. I hope this is as exciting and as much of a party game as "real" solitaire is. Jesus Christ, I'm fucking excited.

The Intercooler actually does cool the system faster, if you put it on correctly, but the old models with the plastic plugs would melt and ruin your 360, and it would not be covered by M$ since it's obvious what caused the problem.

I have the Nyko kit, it's nice, and the grips are a plus, but you have to take them (grips) out if you want precise aiming with the Wii Zapper.

There's no reason not to use the Wiimote plug-in tactic. If anything, it's the only logical solution, since the controllers provide the power and the connection to the system. The only hiccup would be the need for 4 Wiimotes. GH3 guitars are almost guaranteed to work as well, since they do on Xbx 360, PS3 and PS2 (only guitars on the PS2 version work). With the attach rate for Wii Play, it guarantees that most Wii owners have at least 2 Wiimotes.

BBCA is awesome. Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares is better than the American version, and The Office is just as funny as the US version, regardless of if you get "British" humor or not. Also, the news on there isn't as filtered and self-serving as it is here in the US. Shame on you for talking down on BBCA, shame on you.

There are thousands of people that fix this problem - and if paperclips are involved, then it's not a good fix. The processor isn't touching anything that it shouldn't be, the motherboard warps underneath the GPU, and the (cheap) lead-free solder breaks. Some people have "fixed" this by sticking pieces of tooth picks (or paper clips I suppose) under the bolts that go in the X-Clamps (which hold the heatsinks in place), which causes the heatsink in turn to put more downward force on teh GPU, bridging the connection. It's a pretty crappy fix, though it is effective, at least sometimes, and almost always it's short term. While you can say if the system ran cooler these problems would not happen - and that's technically true, but it's not because of the system overheating, it's because the crappy design and the cheap lead-free solder can't handle the heat that actually is produced.
Here are some pictures of the cooling mods I've done to my 360, just to show that I'm not talking out of my ass. I've also done the X-Clamps replacement, replaced the thermal paste with Arctic Silver 5, and reflowed my GPU's cold solder joints with a 1000 degree heat gun.

It's not excessive heat (as far as most PCs and game consoles are concerned), it's just too much heat for the lead-free solder used to hold the BGA chips in place. The solder joints crack (they don't melt, or flow - you didn't say they did, but this is just for clarification) which in turn creates the hardware failure. It's extremely rare for a 360 to actually overheat (which is 2 red lights - error code 0011, 0012, or 0013, not 3 red lights).

General Chat / Re: Video Ipod anyone?
« on: March 21, 2008, 11:24:15 PM »
Because the iPod's resolution is 640x480. I use a program (for PSP, but it does iPod as well) called XviD4PSP 5.0 (made by some dude on a forum named Winnydows) - it makes beautiful videos. I believe you need to have FFMPEG installed too. If your iPOD does AVC (sorry I'm not to familiar with iPod video), then that's probably what you want to use - very small filesize, moderately fast encoding (completely dependent on your PC's specs, of course), and fantastic quality. The program has tons of options. Just take a small video, try several setups, and use which one works best.

The simple answer is there are more games for the 360, and they aren't 90% PS2 ports with waggle thrown in. Even with the Wii having a larger install base in almost every territory, the 360 has a year's worth of games more than the Wii and PS3.

To an extent - that's true. But people have always taken advantage of the serial port that Nintendo used to have in all their systems, to allow people to play games off of a CD-ROM or Zip drive and whatnot.
Edit - also, take a look at the DS and GBA. They're cartridge based systems, and are only second to the Dreamcast when it comes to "ease of piracy".
