so the base here still doesn't have CEA in stock. they, do, however, have a metric shit ton of MW3 games for every.single.platform. available. they also have BF3, GoW3, AssCreed, and SR3. no Halo. also, i've been sporadic because my mac decided it'd be fun to somehow corrupt the keyboard and trackpad drivers? or something. because suddenly, i couldn't use either but when the apple store boots it up using their little doohicky thingy (technical terms. them.), both work. so my mac has been at the store and i'm waiting for the call that i can go pick it back up, along with the external hard drive i had to buy. sigh. i guess the price will be better than losing thousands of pictures, right?lesson learned: buy a time capsule and use it.

Buy an EU console. It'll be Italian so there's a good chance that it'll try and have sex with all of your other consoles, but at least then you could play EU games! Yaaay!

Whoa whoa whoa. Slow down. Time capsules? 2 TB or 3? I have no idea what all that means. I thought we were talking about Combat Evolved Anniversary (CEA? Right, that's what that means?). Cause Graf definitely has that.

Actually there already is with HD and on the 360 region coding is optional so Halo anniversary edition should play on any region 360, at least for the Asian and US. I don't know about EU releases though as I have an EU console |

Have you seen that confirmed anywhere? The US and Asian releases as both region free but I haven't seen it confirmed for the EU version although I don't know the best places to check. |

It's not something Microsoft officially acknowledge and unlike the PS3 it doesn't apply across all games either so it's not guaranteed. However it may save you some hassle in future, the game box may be in Italian but the gane itself should be in the major European languages including English. John |

I used to HATE MAC'S WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BODY. However, I learned that, if I am to continue to work in my area of the music industry (Audio Engineering and/or Mastering Engineer), then I have no choice BUT to get a Mac, as certain programs and technology (The Digital Audio Workstation Apple Logic Pro, or the DJ DAW Ableton, in conjunction with the iPad and other anniversary equipment) work beautifully with it (most of the time...). However, for personal stuff, I am still a PC man. Even though I HATE MY CURRENT PC AGRDHHHHHHH GHFLKDHFHDIKHHDJHFLSDJFN , PC's have more robustness and freedom over Mac's.The way I look at both is that, Mac's are nice and clean, as most users don't install EVERYU SINGLE SHITTY PC OF SOFTWARE ONTO IT as you are, sometimes by force, to do so on PC (I'm looking at you, Window's Live ). They also use them for singular uses (internet), or do small multi-tasking.With PC's, its common for most users to install too much stuff that can cause issues later (I am a big hypocrite here, as I do this. ALL. THE. TIME. ), and will generally do lots of multi-tasking.Obviously I am extremely generalising here, but here is my point; when a PC breaks, though it is infuriating, you can do much to help yourself, or get a geeky friend/good technicians to help you. You can also purchase and self-install hardware whenever you need to, or fix something, and there is generally more freedom when troubleshooting issues overall (even if there are many). On the other hand, Apple can suck my , since they are some of the biggest money ripping asshats I have ever known from a company. Oh, sure, they are all nice and polite, but when you say that the HDD needs replacing, instead of being able to buy yourself a nice HDD (such as the Samsung SpinPoint range) and install it yourself, you need to fork over £150 to get a shit 500GB from Western Digital that someone you mildly trust to install. When you ask to back-up your old HDD, they ask for ANOTHER £100. . Oh, yeah, this happened to me when I was doing my Logic Pro final end-of-year project, on the NEW BLOODY MAC'S which decided to have a day and corrupted the HDD, and when I went, with permission, to our closest Apple Retailer (KRCS are official Apple resellers here in the UK), those were the prices conveyed, WITHOUT INCLUDING THE LABOUR COSTS . Our department had a, 'nice', word with Apple .I really hate aspects of Apple that force and contort you to use their stuff, the way THEY WANT IT TO BE USED AGHHHHHH Seriously, where I studied my Music Tech course, with exception to the brand new or recent Mac's, all the other slightly older (yet still powerful) Mac's had been upgraded with off-the-shelf hardware (online or from brick-and-mortar shops), not Apple certified crap, since the technicians know exactly how to get computers running smooth and well for long periods of time (especially under intense workloads): K, rant over,
