My fave traditional RPG is Golden Sun 1 and 2.
Those games were awesome. :)

also, for a pro app, soundtrack is much faster than garage band. you can tell that it was very poorly written. i hope gb2 will be much better in terms of speed. 2.5 more hours... longest of my life

I think they're slower than you think if you're talking raw DSP muscle.
The price/performance of a mac is terrible at the moment but the interface, available software and midi management (especially patchnames) is still way ahead of the PC.
There's a thread on the Protools LE for Windows forum on the Digidesign User Conference where they've put together the best PC for under $800 and tested it in protools LE using the same 5 plug-ins per track test as those of us in the mac forum have performed.
This PC, an Athlon XP2200+ handles 180 plug-ins
The fastest mac currently tested, with an original retail value of $3,499 handles only 135 plug-ins.
Now concidering the mac in question is only running 1 of it's cpus, has a 133MHz FSB to the 333Mhz FSB on the PC and it's less than half the clock speed, it's quite impressive on paper but 4 times the price just for a superdrive, firewire and an OS that doesn't make me puke just looking at it isn't really very good.
A plus point is those plug-in counts will soar in OS X once Protools LE is dual CPU aware and I know any mac I buy will be more than fast enough to handle at least 4 times what my beige G3 can. It's just annoying that when I do get round to getting a faster model a used dual 800 SQ or maybe even a dual 1Ghz QS is the best I can hope for and both are thoroughly battered senseless by a dirt cheap PC.
Mind you, once I've got a new mac I doubt I'll care what those other brands can do. It's the OS that's kept me hooked on macs and OS X looks absolutely fantasic for audio.

They should have demand free MacBooks:D for the time and embrassment of being stuck in an elevator.
Or at least an iPod.
Hmm...David Blaine should do something like that. Just stand, stuck, in an Apple Store elevator for 3 weeks. Its ingenious!
...and we could fill it with water. Maybe he'll actually break the record this time. :rolleyes:

2) ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 64MB Graphics Card
The ATI is more likely because Apple use ATI in their portable lines. They have better power consumption figures I think.
Assuming the powerbook got one of the above cards, the ibook would get the current powerbook card (ATI 7000 32MB mobile I think).

There are two reason why this doesn't mean much. First, Apple may just cancel the accounts of anyone who tries to use PyMusique (that's covered by the EULA).
But can a user be considered to be a party to that agreement if they have not used iTunes to access the store - does the purchasing process still involve an agreement approval stage using this software? Presumably not.

Does it constantly use your internet connection to download?
If I use my old imac (800Mhz G4, will it be of any use)?
Yes the 800mhz machine will help. It uses the internet to download and upload Work units when done one. It is very small amount of data normally under 2mb and it does not use the internet all the time it only uses it after every WU which can last anywhere from a couple hours to a couple days.

Well, I've got some additions. Hit Target this last weekend and saw a bunch of games marked down to $15. Some were on my "to buy" list, so I got them. GT4 wasn't, but I figured I'd try it out at that price. Ratchet technically wasn't, either, but other games in the franchise are. :)

I thought that was the fun of these sites. Annoymously flaming each other and getting into huge arguements over nothing, just to kiss and make-up 2 seconds later. ;) (please note sarcasm).
So maybe not shoved it in your face. Maybe just doing a little superiority dance and singing "See. I told you so" and then sticking his toungue out. :p He was being kinda immature anyway. (You're mean, I'm taking my ball and going home.)
Not that either of us was being very nice.
Don't forget, I was the one defending you. Though it was more because I was mad at him for the way he reacted. If you can't stand the heat, and all. I had my doubts, but mostly because he ran away at the slightest question of doubt. Believe me, it could have been much worse, as I'm sure you know.
He did wind up posting later on. Did the whole "See, I was right!!!" thing. I'll admit when I'm wrong (though I'm glad I was right about it not being that color), and I guess we shouldn't have doubted him.
But he didn't exactly give us much to trust him on, did he?
If you out there 58, come on back. Defend yourself for petesake. Gloat a little bit. You deserve it. Fight back.
Don't just run away cuz somebody offended your pride, or whatever. You posted something (unsubstantiated) at a rumors site. I mean, what were you expecting?
That's all I'm saying.

I just signed up for Gamefly and I'm not happy already. I signed up Thurs. and it's Sat. afternoon and only 1 game has shipped. Gamefly's site says 24 hours to ship, there is no reason for them to take 2 days to ship something out. Add that to the fact it's gonna take another 4-6 days to arrive from the west coast. So with the return trip, that's 2 weeks out of the month the game is in transit, no thanks. I'm going to cancel after this month.
Gplay has the best rates. Where do they ship from?

Well both versions are released this week.
Seeming the main difference between the two boil down to
360) online play
ps3) six axis support
Other than that both are pretty much identical. Graphically you'd be hard pushed to know which was which, both are running at upto 1080p, but I can testify that even in 720p the 360 version looks very sharp.
There is a demo available for 360 users on Live Marketplace now.
They have certainly made the game harder and more simulation like. In fact its more like topspin than the older VT's.
Shame the 'star' player all look like lifeless zombies though.
Haven't decided which version to pick up, but it'll probably boil down to cost more than anything else.
