Nine days until its release here, but I don't really expect to be able to actually buy one as it's been pretty much all pre-order around here. Movie: What we do in life echoes in eternity.

Came home from a long day of looking at pictures of cells and body parts and what do I find? A brand new Resident Evil 4 sitting waiting for me. My wife is better than your wife / girlfriend / boyfriend.

So a while back, I moved into a new apartment.. The computer room is on one end, and the living room is on the other end.. Unfortunately, 3 components in my home theater system use internet connections. Wireless is unsecure and running 3 network cables woulda sucked. So I bought two 4-port wired routers.
In the computer room- Router #1 is hooked directly to the cable modem via the WAN port and 2 computers on regular ports. It is also hooked to the very long cable that runs to the living room. The "Uplink" setting on the port Router #2 is hooked to is turned off, because Router #2 couldn't make any sort of connection with uplink turned on.
In the living room- Router #2 is hooked to Router #1 via the WAN part, and consoles and TiVO are hooked to regular ports.
Nothing connected to Router #2 can connect to the internet. Not the consoles, not my laptop. Tried changing DNS settings on Router #2, but that didn't help.
If possible, I'd like the network to be one big happy family, rather than two little networks that hate each other. Help!

It often feels like AMD receives an inordinate amount of hype for the Opteron processor. Without question, the chip runs great, and AMD has gained market share on Intel as a result. Still, however, Intel owns such a massive portion of the server processor market that AMD remains a relatively minor player.
If, however, last week's Supercomputing show is an indication of things to come, then Intel is indeed in serious trouble. The Opteron hype could well turn into Intel's biggest nightmare sooner rather than later...
(Itanium actually received more play than Xeon at the show, which you know is a horrible sign for Intel.)
Ouch.
I'd like to get a small system set up since I just bought a new TV.
I'd like to keep everything <$1000 and have room for upgrades later. Any recommendations? I basically have nothing :)

Kameo looks cool, but not as cool as PGR3 (IMO). I would be interested to hear what you guys/girls received in your pre-order bundle from Costco.com.

This is going to bite them in the end, because it's a timing issue. Unless they magically plan to fill store shelves by this Black Friday with tons of units, there's going to be a lot of frustrated parents. I also have a feeling that MS may not be able to supply enough units before Christmas either at least to meet the non pre-order demand. I think they needed to start the first release in October, if only to build up hype as well as to give them more time to make the units, and thus they could have had more than enough units by this Friday to meet the increased demand from word-of-mouth.
Add to that the game lineup, which seems less than stellar at the present time (though leagues better than the first Xbox release), the fact that here and elsewhere people are reporting some HW issues, and this is really looking bad.
They probably should have also had every store commit to the same off-the-street buying procedure, because that seems to be the largest frustration. Not sure what the best one would be, but something consistant would have helped.
I'm just glad I don't feel the rush to get one, and that my pre-order will be filled at some point. It's not like when Guitar Hero or We Love Katamari was put out early by a few stores, where I was a bit eager to get my hands on those so I'd check every place I convinently could even though I had a reservation for the item the next week.

Since I'm an old man, there was no way I was going to wait in line all night. So I got up about an hour ago and hit the run down ShopKo by my house. There were already 6 people in line, me and my buddy were 7 & 8. After waiting 20 mins and having two more people show up, an employee comes out and says:
"We only have 4 premium systems. There was supposed to be a sign posted last night obviously thre isn't. I'm sorry you had to wait in the cold."
And that was that. After doing some recon last night, I knew all the other obvoius retailers had lines that made the premium systems accounted for. And BestBuy was a total cluster fuck.
That's fine, I can wait. But, who here thinks they'll still be out of stock of premium units on Black Friday? Think all the cores will be sold out as well? (not that I'd buy a core package)

Like some of you guys, I waited in line and got a Premimum System with an extra wireless controller. My question is, what is keeping you guys from selling yours on ebay? I'm really torn at this point I would definetly like to keep it and enjoy it, but at the same time it seems stupid to not try and make a 1,000 bucks. Are these auctions going for 1,500 and 2,000 dollars legit or what?

I just played some Ninja Gaiden Black on my 360 and there are TONS of spots where the FPS drops so much the game plays in slowmo. I was just fighting the first boss in the game and it felt like I was playing Max Payne or something in bullet time. Has anyone else noticed these massive FPS dips on Xbox titles?
If you were planning on selling your Xbox, I would hold off for a bit.
