Grandstand, grandstand so
Grandstand so close to me

Xboxers so jealous
You know how bad fans get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Console sales, he's waiting
His hand is warm and dry

Grandstand, grandstand so
Grandstand so close to me

Loose talk on the forum
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the last post
The accusations fly
It's no use, he sees them
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That famous book by Nabakov

I was thinking Billy Idol's cover of "Sony Sony" might work but there's no real verses to that song.

Wow, Kodos. Just...wow.

Perhaps my finest contribution since CHorN.

The Xbox One headset from Polk Audio, previously announced at E3, will be released next week. I'm a huge Polk Audio fan, as all the speakers in my home theater and car stereo are Polk. The price is a bit high, at $160 list.

Damn, that is a lot of video game playing. Someone passed the 1,000,000 mark for their Xbox Live gamerscore last night.

Already wore out the rubber on my PS4 controller's left analog stick from playing FIFA. Guess I need those protector things

[Kodos]

I'm guessing he doesn't have lot of other achievements in life.

Not related to Gen 4 consoles, but figured it was the best place to ask. What's the best college basketball game I can buy for PS3?

College Hoops 2K8 would probably be your best bet. No one has put out a college basketball game on years.

Thanks. Likely to just bite the bullet on nba 2k14 as I can't find any bargains on the older college game.

The upcoming Steam Controller for the Steam Box has gotten a redesign. They've dropped the touchscreen from it.

Looks like Microsoft isn't completely giving up on the idea of making the Xbox One backwards compatible with the 360. They are still having discussions on it.

How is NBA2K14? I read that there is no free agancy in my career. Is that true?

bump for e3

I've had the Xbox One since its release. I've played the 360 almost exclusively since then. Got into Madden, Forza, and FIFA for a bit, but my tastes have switched to board games, and when my son or I do play it tends to be stuff on the 360. The One has become a glorified blu ray for the time being. Not sure if it's worth selling or keeping in case the new waves of Madden, etc. spark my interest again.

Best Buy has the Super Mario Bros U/Super Luigi Bros U as part of their "Black Friday in July" sale: $260 for the console, which is the lowest deal for a non-refurb deluxe Wii U.

I'm finally taking the plunge. I also picked up Mario Kart a couple of weeks ago so I'll get another free game as part of that deal. The free Mario Kart deal expires at the end of the month so less than a week to go.

EDIT: So, for $260 on the console and $48 for Mario Kart on Amazon, you get the console, Mario Kart, Super Mario Bros U, Super Luigi Bros U, and one more game of Pikmin 3/Wii Party U/Zelda Windwaker HD.

There's also a Best Buy Deal of the Day with Nintendo Land and a Luigi Wiimote for $35. Also, the Wii U pro controller (white only, for some reason) is $30 at Best Buy this week so you can get some of the controller needs out of the way, too.

SI

[SackAttack]

I think the Nintendo Land bundle is actually $40 as the DOTD. It's less on clearance some places.

I got my white Pro controller on clearance at the local store for around $30 last year sometime. Shame it isn't black so it'd match my console.

The modder that made laptop versions of 360s and PS3s has a new creation. He packed a 360 and Xbox One into the same case.

Why not stuff a PS4 and Xbox One into the same case?

For anyone looking to add space to their Xbox One, Best Buy has the WD 4TB My Book on sale for $129.99. That's cheaper than most bare 4TB hard drives I've seen.
