Some of this stuff is absolutely amazing. Depending on price point and a few other things, I could see something like this being my next laptop/not laptop/thingy. That won't be for a while though, so it'll be neat to see what people come up with as things move along. I definitely think that this is where things are headed, though, and this is where you can see Windows 8 not being a horrible idea.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 21, 2013 -> 10:21 AM) "There was never any catch to that," I love that line. There is no catch, except the huge ones I will list immediately after that line. They tried pulling the wool over everyone's eyes with that one too. Yeah LOL. It's a neat little feature, not that I'm convinced I would ever actually use it. I'm thinking...free games? Sweet! ... oh, a short demo. Novel concept. Given how many people in this thread have said "nobody buys used games!" and just common sense, I am far from convinced that used gaming is "killing" game development. This has been a fact of life for as long as gaming has been around. There are many games that aren't very cool anymore by the time they become very available used, anyway - like a sports video game. Regardless, I know lots of folks that simply don't think to buy used. I liked to do it though, but I bet that only accounts for 25% of my games. Usually I would want something too quickly to wait for it to start showing up used.

ASUS announced a similar concept last week 11.6" 1920x1080 detachable tablet/monitor. Tablet portion boasts a 2GHz Intel Atom processor and 64 GB SSD and runs Android 4.2. Connect to keyboard/dock and you now have an i7 processor, 750GB-1TB hard drive space, and you can run Windows 8 desktop and drastically boost battery life.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jun 20, 2013 -> 07:10 PM) I've never had a problem with either controller. I like them both. Except every so often throwing it to A in madden on accident after seeing X wide open. This!!!

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jun 20, 2013 -> 12:08 AM) If youre not gonna play any games then it doesnt make sense for you to get either. I dont know how many people who play video games dont play them online, but as I understand it if you want to play games online on the ps4 you need to pay for ps plus anyway. But ya, if youre not going to play games you might as well just get a roku. Lately, the games I would play are sports games where I would generally play franchise mode, superstar mode, and things like that that consume time offline. Of course, I have to make the tough decisions about whether I should be playing games at all especially with the prices of these beasts :|

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jun 20, 2013 -> 12:01 AM) Uhh.. Boston has a lot more to be worried about now than the Hawks do. Rask didn't necessarily light the world on fire, and the Hawks are finding line combinations that work. If they expect the kind of calls they got tonight for the remainder of the series (esp with two games in Chicago) they'll have a b**** of a time getting them. Blackhawks, for how inept they looked in G3, are in a marginally better spot than the Bruins are in this series going forward. Momentum + home ice = good spot for the Hawks

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 11:55 PM) Ya they definitely havent done themselves any favors. I think a lot of people initially planned on sticking with the next gen console of whatever they currently have until micorsoft dropped the ball at e3. With the news today I think a good amount of xbox gamers who had considered going to ps4 will be rethinking things and likely stay with xbox. Its nice for us as consumers to have the two battling against each other at the same time. Who knows what the price would be or what kind of limitations these systems would have if they werent being released right around the same time. I was one that was already interested in switching and their respective announcements sealed it. My gaming habits have changed since I bought my XB360 -- when I bought it, I was really into Halo and COD and playing online with my friends, who also had XB360. As time has gone on, I have used my XB360 as a device to occasionally play games offline and to stream movies/sports from Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go, MLB.tv, NHL Gamecenter, etc. I really got sick of paying for XBL to pay for these services that I already am paying out the ass for, things start adding up. Pair that with some crazy billing scheduling quirk they have that led me to paying for more than I wanted and I became fed up. Seeing the announcements, I'm assured that I can buy used games on the PS4, not pay for subscription just to stream movies/sports, and I pay $100 less up front. Looks like a winner to me, though it is worth mentioning that I may just quit gaming for now and go with Roku. I have a feeling playing video games may detract from my grad school admissions prep

Nothing will top the red ring of death. Mindblowing that that didn't kill the XB360

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 10:54 PM) f*** me silly. What a hockey game. 1st goal was absolutely awful, 4th goal was bad, outside that, other 3 are fine. Boychuck's wasn't as bad as 1st and 4th...it was a rocket and Oduya down makes it hard to pick that up...black pants as well. 3 game series. Here we go. I saw this as well

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 09:24 PM) Wow. I just started watching The Sopranos last month, just finished season 1 this past Friday. Spoiler alert: James Gandolfini dies 6 years after the series ends

QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 10:38 PM) He won't do it, it will have to be 3 or 4 before he thinks about it. He'll go down with Crow. Yeah, it's hardly fair for Emery who hasn't had ice time in...I don't know, a long time. It would have to be out of hand.

TUU-KA! TUU-KA!

Hossa looks hurt on the bench

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2013 -> 10:12 PM) The last one was awful. He had tons of space and no screen. I hope somebody gives him some secret stuff

First 3 goals are ones I don't expect Crow to stop. The last two were not acceptable

The giveaways in our defensive zone are getting pretty goddamned old

Finally got into his head, he's been really resilient but not tonight. Make no mistake that we've put him in some terrible positions and it seems that it finally has gotten to him mentally

Another call!

I want to buy stock in Duncan Keith's mouthguard manufacturer

A call!

Alright, PK...

Is there only one goalie in this series? It's pretty clear who the media and referees prefer.
