Now, you said it plays Hulu just fine? I noticed in this lifehacker article (which is where this thing caught my eye) that it doesn't handle Hulu/Youtube very well because of Flash or whatnot.

I mainly would like to use it to play backups of my movie collection (which has grown so big that I don't have the space anymore and will have to move to a drastic storage solution), anime, music and so forth. If it can do Hulu/Youtube pretty decently, I would be set.

Currently, it's only $200 on Newegg as well.

I read that same article and others that said as good as this nettop is, HD playback is choppy...

I took that into consideration as I needed a Win 7 machine to start learning off of.
That was the main reason...
but I loaded flash beta 10.1 and the Nvidia Chipset driver for Win 7 (this wasn't on the disc with the computer)

and I can post pics of Hulu/youtube playback.

It can play EVERYTHING fine including HD video but if you go full sreen HD in Hulu the fram rate does drop off (noticable to me...not to my wife or 5 year old thought)


for >$200 are you going to complain...if your buying this...it's not to powerhouse it...


it'll do HD video...and has the HDMI with it (side note....you have to turn your screen on first when using HDMI or the Revo won't recognize it)
I'm looking for a fix for this...
if you turn the nettop on and then the monitor (HDMI) it will default to VGA.
I thought it was a BIOS setting but it isn't.

Thank you GAF for piquing my interest in this book.
Got it on Thursday and I'm halfway through already.
My first manga and I love it.

All most of us saw was a sad looking dog with a heavy weight on its back. .hacked explained what it was/is for and it all made sense.

Exactly! I partly blame my ignorance concerning the subject.

Hotness.

 

[SonOfABeep]

that clock costs like $500, right?

what

It's pretty slick, but wow. You must make some good money! If you do, awesome!

*not trying to criticize, just dumbfounded when I looked up the price of those things

 

[Balboa]

Are those shelves inside the wall or am I seeing this wrong?

 

[eXistor]

Large detailed pic (click thumb):

Incredible. That's the coolest clock I ever saw.

 

[Frester]

A bit late in posting, but Christmas pick-ups!

There should be a Sunshine Bluray in there but I'm in the process of returning a different Bluray to exchange it.

And some Threadless shirts from the Black Friday sale that I never posted.

 

[Rimshot]

Hey is that Swedish money I spy there? Thought you were american due to the pickups but I'm guessing just an heavy importer ^^

 

[manofmandango]

Wife and I were gifted a D3000 D-SLR for Christmas. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship

Spoiler

with the camera; kidding :lol

Sorry about crappy quality. I had to take the picture with my iPhone. Can't take a picture of the camera with that same camera now can I? Also, I'd imagine there is a thread for camera enthusiasts or beginners eh?

DARKSIDERS! Loving it.


More pickups likely to come later this month.

 

[Frester]

Hey is that Swedish money I spy there? Thought you were american due to the pickups but I'm guessing just an heavy importer ^^

Haha, I actually am American but that is a 20 kronor bill! Leftover from when I went to Sweden in 2006. I thought it looked cool so I kept it. I would've done that with more currency when I was abroad but a 20 kronor bill at the time was around <$5 so it's not like I was losing a whole bunch of money (as opposed to collecting euro/pound/Swiss franc/Czech crown bills). I'm normally pretty neat but I haven't spent a lot of time at home during college so I end up just leaving stuff everywhere.

 

[Gyrian]

Here's what's new for me, lately.

Couldn't resist, even though I don't have a turntable handy.

Picked these up towards the end of '09. Rather liking XIII.
I'm not hardcore into j-RPGs, all the streamlining sits well with me. Beautiful game.

 

[Baconbitz]

what's odd is that I'm supposed to get another one of the three sets and I ordered it the same day.

 

[Kintaro]

*Revo stuff*

Thanks! I'm going to do a bit more research on how much space I'll be needing to back up my movie collection and will probably pull the trigger on this.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Pick-up of 2010. There is absolutely nothing that can be released this year that I can buy that will even come close to finally having my Ghajini blu-ray:

Also, Ayngaran blu-ray no. 7 as well as a Shriya starer.

[Zoso]

Got all these games for $90. Pretty psyched I finally found FFVII in great condition.

 

[sam27368]

Nah they're not, although if you google image search Bertby (ah screw it i'll save you the time http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XGRz6uWGK3I/Ry3oXfqEaAI/AAAAAAAACKQ/IJkXg0ulHyw/s400/IMG_0532.jpg) someone has built them in. Really good unit, even if they did give me the damn wrong colour!

I got it from Zellers, But i don't work there, They told me to try after Xmas. I was asking every week I was losing hope when they told me Employees get 1st dibs.

I hope that's not $90 US because you've been ripped off. I could get all of those games for less than half that price.

 

[milkham]

loving it so far

 

[dorkimoe]

I always get a good chuckle out of a grainy, noiseladen, low res image of an awesome camera. :lol

[Bii]

Gameboy415: Where are you going to find the time to play/watch all of that? -_-

This year, I'm going to buy less games and finally buy all the other things that I want. Starting with this:

Nike Air Max Classic BW (Nintendo). Size 10.5. $89.99
I've decided this year I'll start buying all the shoes that have been on my wish list for the past few years (and some that have been released recently). I'm not looking forward to spending upwards of $300 for a pair but to knock out some of the ones on my list, I'm going to have to. The Nintendo edition of the Nike Air Max was a pair that I wanted to get when it was released a year ago but never really followed through with the purchase. From the d-pad imprint on the tip to the start/select lettering on each pair, I really love the design. This will also mark the first time where I've bought a pair of shoes not to wear but to keep for collection's sake.

I also wanted the just-released Jordan XI Space Jams but the price has skyrocketed. My wallet can't take that sort of beating right now.

Oooo sexy! Those are deadstock now right? Where did you pick those up?

 

[Auron_Kale]

Bii: Awesome pick-up on the shoes. I got those myself (sz. 9) and I love them so much. Haven't worn mine yet as I'm really stuck on my Bruin SB Supremes, but I should probably wear them eventually. Next shoes on my list will be the Star Wars Adidas shoes.

Anyways, some pick-ups from today:

Threadless t-shirts:

Whistle! vol. 24 (last volume of the series - I really enjoyed it):

White Chocolate Kit-Kats and some Hi-Chews:

Shonen Gangan for January w/freebie (2010 FMA planner):

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

- Kids in the Hall seasons 1-3. We have a buy 2 get 1 free sale on DVDs, and I've only ever owned season 1 before.
- Kingdom Hearts t-shirt. I wanted to have one KH shirt, but sadly the one I really want is no longer available.

 

[Toy Soldier]

^ White chocolate Kit-Kats are good, but the BEST Kit-Hats are coffee-flavored. I found some at Dollar Tree a year or two ago, never saw 'em again. They set the bar for Kit-Kat deliciousness.

First off, and most importantly: F-I-N-A-L-L-Y the Bayonetta.

It's late for Christmas posts, but my mom dropped a Christmas Eve surprise: a 360. It's an Arcade, so a hard drive is on the to-buy list, but still - I didn't plan to buy one of these 'til Bayonetta's release. It was like a vintage childhood Santa moment, kudos to her.

I had enough in post-Christmas gift cards to actually complete the collection of exclusives (console/HD exclusives) that have had me itching to jump in for the past couple of years. This is an instant collection for the long term, years of gaming.

Admittedly, it's silly to buy so many games all at once, especially with Bayonetta, Raiden, and DOAX2 are all I need right now...but it was a matter of convenience and great sales. Less than $5 for many, all in perfect condition.

Finally, I impulse-bought Darksiders alongside a few other cheapo games. Beyond the games, the much-anticipated Jennifer's Body is finally here, as is Ke$ha's rockin' debut album.

 

[kairu]

Picked up an HP mini 210 the other day.

I love it so far! The 6 cell battery lasts forever (or at least a full day of work).

 

[PflargBlarg]

I finally have some free time after coming back to Japan from my Christmas vacation in the States so I can post my pick-ups!
Most of the stuff was bought from Amazon.com's Black Friday sales, but I picked up a lot of stuff on sale around Christmastime too.

HUARRARRRGLGLHHHHLHHLHLHHHHHHAHHHH

This post scares me.

Also, Ayngaran blu-ray no. 7 as well as a Shriya starer.

Never heard of these movies, but I love the cases

 

[OnkelC]

As far as the colour is concerned, I think you just about get away with it! Still looks really good.

 

[Efrendal]

First pickups of 2010.

 

[woodsey1982]

Bit late with this, but here's my Xmas haul. Santa was pretty good to me! :lol

Also, not pictures are a load of VC games - Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Yoshi's Story, Paper Mario, and Sonic 2 + 3 - enough to keep me going for while!!

Also, my wife and son got me these 3 between them for my birthday -

Thought it was pointless having a wii without some good lightgun shooters!!

Now....where do I begin!?

 

[Amalthea]

Bit late with this, but here's my Xmas haul. Santa was pretty good to me! :lol


Now....where do I begin!?

Play them in chronologic order (from WiiSports/Red Steel to NSMB Wii/Dead Space Extraction).

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Now....where do I begin!?

Buy another PS3 so I can play with/against you online

But yeah, when you told me you'd got a Wii, I didn't think you had also got so many great games. I own them all except BW2, good job!

 

[shas'la]

First pickups of 2010.

Where is your bayonetta from, Mine's a UK one and its BBFC 15

 

[Amalthea]

Where is your bayonetta from, Mine's a UK one and its BBFC 15

That's just the ordinary Mainland-Europe one.

wow, another one

ive seen tons of people buying a 360/planning to buy one,just for beyonetta ......weird how a japanese multiplat turns into a system seller for microsoft.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Still very, very gently lowering myself into the world of manga with Naruto & One Piece.

And some post-Christmas Blu-rays.

 

[sam27368]

Good pickup. The Hurt Locker is easily my number one film of all time now.
