You guys in the US have Blacksite released already??

We've gotta wait until the 30th, that's the friday after tomorrow. So you get blacksite, mass effect, rock band, kane and lynch and most others all before Europe :( God i hate that

It's pretty much the way its always been. The only "good" thing these days, is we don't need to wait for months on end like back in the 80/90's. For most releases it's a week longer, then again, there is Nintendo and their 5 months later crap..

I still can't download the HL2 demo :pinch: Anyone got a fix?

YES. The fix is to create a new account... Think it may be an age restirction or something like that but since I created a new live account I could download the demo (which looks great on a HDTV) and got a free month of gold membership. Sweet...

Why you people even gave up your real birth date in the first place is beyond me :s

well, i never did n that's why I was classed as under aged... Isn't that agist or something? Well, thanks MS, I've found a way to get a free months worth of gold membership! Woo-hoo! Apparently it only works 3 times though.

I'm pretty sure they have since changed it, that every consoles gets 1 month free only. Worth a shot, but I'm sure I spoke with a friend who tried to use his last month around Halo 3's launch.

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
