ctrl_alt_del Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) @MT: Glad it is getting some attention. Pair it up with Calibre if you haven't yet. You will love it. @ARSC: Nook looked like a great option. But a few factors prevented me from buying a Nook instead of a Kindle. Both, Kindle and Nook use the same technology; their displays come from the same manufacturer so no comparison there. Nook comes with a touch-controlled strip of LCD at the bottom of the main screen to control your Nook. While initially it seems like a good idea, it actually turns out to be a bottle-neck later on mainly because of the difference in refresh rate of the E-Ink and LCD. So while the LCD will have you zooming through the menu lightning fast, the main E-Ink display would lag behind which for me was a deal-breaker. The other major issue was non-availibility of Nook and its services in India. Here is the mail that I sent to the CC @ B&N and the reply that I got: Dear Customer, Thank you for your email regarding eBooks purchases for international customers. Because selling eBooks to international customers involves issues regarding international copyright laws, tariffs, VAT taxes, currency conversions, etc., only US and Canadian residents are able to purchase eBooks on the Barnes & Noble website at this time. Please visit us here for more information: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ebooks/help-faqs.asp?cds2Pid=29168&linkid= 1432180 Sincerely, Eduardo Customer Service Representative Barnes and Noble http://www.bn.com/ Original Message Follows: ------------------------ Hi, I am in US at the moment and am planning to pick up a Nook Wi-Fi for myself. I am wondering if I would be able to access the B&N Online store in India via WiFi, purchase e-books using the online store and have it delivered to Nook. Can you please guide me on this? Any help will be much appreciated. Regards, Abhinav So there. That pretty much sealed the fate of Nook as far as I am concerned. Wondering if we need a dedicated Kindle thread. Could be a great place to talk about the free books available on Amazon, good deals on new books and great way to earn some free Amazon Gift Cards via Swagbucks.

Solitaire Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 The iPod touch is great, actually I never really wanted a iPhone 4 badly, its totally acceptable for me to carry it around with my Blackberry, just got shafted on google mobile app where Google did the stupidity of not including iPod touch 4th Gen for Goggles. The rear camera is crap absolute crap compared to the iPhone 4's. the front camera is better. I'm really indifferent about the camera, however I do wanna know what you thought about the iPod Touch's screen vs the iPhone 4's screen and about the speed difference (if any) in general between the two..

Superfrag Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) NBA 2K11, PC, ONLY FOR $29.99!! New!! Big Props to 2K for pricing it so low. PS3 and X360 are $59.99 in comparison. This game is AWESOME. The intro clip and the way it gets you started is amazing.. Edited October 7, 2010 by Superfrag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 This is neither steamworks or GFWL. Publishers can cut prices when they don't have to share revenues or give royalties. It has few disadvantages too, you wouldn't get full support for 360 controller or the features which steam offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking to me, the game has full X360 controller support, and what features does steam offer? Also, that's the official price. Even at the MS store its for $29.99. http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/NBA-2K11-PC-Game/product/147C3B49 Edited October 7, 2010 by Superfrag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
