First Post!

I did it..I bought Zuma through the Xbox Marketplace. So weak. Too much fun though. Before you know it I'll have unlocked the full version of Bejeweled 2 too. Also on FileShack






  • I see a lot of Digital Camera related posts here on the shack and thought it would be nice to share this one fragment of knowledge with you girls:

    Cameras from both Sony and Canon do 30 frames per second video recording at full VGA tv resolution, which is great.

    *However* the canon's don't compress the video into MPEG2 like the sony models do. So your 1GB memory card fills in 10 minutes flat on a Canon, where it records hours on the Sony.

    Coming from a Sony digicam recently to a Canon, it really bugs the hell out of me, even if memory sticks cost more, at least they'll hold 10x more of the SAME damn video per MB. I've checked Canon's samples for their other digicams and they all have this problem. It sucks. You have been informed.


















  • So my local Toys 'R' Us is going out of business and just about everything there is 50% off or more. The videogame section was devastated, but amazingly enough I found 2 Xbox Live 12+1 month subscription cards. Only had enough to grab one for now, but even one $50 subscription for $25 is an awesome haul as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to hit them up Thursday when I get paid to see if the last card is still there along with the blue faceplate I saw. I have a feeling people who could afford the 360 aren't bothering to scrounge at a store that's in such a sad state as that one is (it closes for good on Friday).

    TLDR: My Xbox Live now is good through Jan. of 2008.
