As far as the MW2 bundle...

I'm positive MW2 will be a great game. Bundling it with 2 black controllers and a 250 gig harddrive sounds freakin awesome and is going to translate into good sales figures.

But c'mon... That console is ugly. The regular elite's are way better.

Well I've yet to find anyone who plays their PS3 or 360 outside :rofl:

What if you're using that device from the other thread I posted to stream your PS3/360 outside and you're using it there! Huh? Huh? What about that? Or you could use it on that handheld Xbox 1080 thing I also posted about. See, there's an intricate web to my posts. ;)

I suppose the price isn't quite right for MS to offer the 250GB on it's own atm. Or they could be holding off on that till after this MW2 limited edition sells out. No need to kill this SKU's momentum before it's even out the door by saying anyone can get the biggest selling point the thing has on their own. That takes the whole idea behind "limited edition" deals and makes them kinda pointless.

Who the hell makes these decisions over at MS; I think it might be the people who got fired from PS3 team for making bad decision and now have a job at MS.

Maybe they are the same people who thought that releasing and marketing 360 in japan at huge scale was a good thing to do.

Very good points!!

I'll add one more:

4 years later after release the console still ships with the same design mistake that causes both GPU and CPU to desolder (RROD)

No it doesn't, they revised it twice.

Seriously, WTF is making these decisions at MS cause they need beaten with a rubber hose!

Examples of a serious lack of logic by Microsoft marketing:

* MS ushers in HD era for gaming originally by making the minimum requirement 720p for all games which they have now abolished.

* They finally drop the price of they elite to remain competitive but decide no one needs HD cables.

* They decide that its time to start selling full 360 titles via download and do not announce larger HDDs to accommodate the inevitable need.

* MS finally decides to release a bigger HDD but only make it available to those buying a new console.

agreed, especially on points 2 - 4. Honestly I don't get the HDD pricing strategy one iota to be honest. Not just the price but the capacity issues as well. It just seems illogical to me that for a company that has so much riding on it's downloadable content and related services that they would also price the HDD at a point where people are having more than a second thought as to whether they want to get it. Releasing at 20GB, 14GB of which was useable was bad enough, not to mention the versions without the HDD but they've constantly been behind the game in regards to capacity and pricing of the unit.

Sure, they need to make a profit on it...I won't say otherwise. But if they were priced better people would be more inclined to download more. Hell even throw in a movie rental or two with the HDD to try and hook people into the service. Or maybe they wouldn't make more money...I dunno...well I can only assume MS has done the maths here but IMHO it just seems idiotic to me.

I still wish that for that $200AU or there abouts you were getting a 200 - 320GB drive as opposed to the 120. Even that would be selling it at close to or over twice the price of the drive on it's own. It'd certainly make me more inclined to download full games if I didn't have to start worrying about micro managing my drives storage.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.

      So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
