Oh Snap, "Nerd" news Sept. 22

in , , ,
I'm a big PC gamer and I just read  a story from techradar.com saying the Intel, what that's right INTEL's new CPU maybe the new wave in GPU/CPU video gaming. What does that mean for you and me, nothing RIGHT NOW but in a few years no more Nvidia, or AMD GPU war? Sure I'll have to buy all new Computer again, but with computer prices dropping that shouldn't be a problem, (unless the economy drops too, or I can't find a job in a week!) So anywho read more here and let me know what you think! Thanks techradar.com!!

PS3 and DRM to things that are not great together!

I'm so screwed I have the 40gig PS3, I bought it for the Blu-ray, and now I was thinking about getting a bigger HD for it. Now I can't because I didn't read the fine print again. That's if I want to buy a video fron their lovely PS3 video store before I upgrade I could lose it because and I quote.

" If you perform any of the following operations after backing up, copyright-protected video files in the backup data may not restore correctly.

  • Format the hard disk

  • Restore the PS3™ system

  • Move copyright-protected video

  • Download copyright-protected video

  • Play copyright-protected video that has a time restriction for the first time"


Well there you have it I guess that means now movie downloads till my new drive and I better make it a big one so I don't have to back up too many times. Now Sony says you can call them up and fix this problem, but should I have to? I hope they get this fixed, just like they need to fix the 40gig PS3 playing PS3 games with software emutaltion. (It can be done I know it!) Check it out here at engadget.com
