Update to DB´s Cell Phone Adventures
You liked this better than the Treo 600? <BR> <BR>I´ve been a bit tempted to get a Wifi PDA but I really doubt I´d use it much after the novelty wore off. Probably would get more use out of an iPod for the moment. <BR> <BR>I just heard that Verizon has service in DC and San Diego that gets well over...

Great deal alert !!!
Yeah I use credit cards for everything and pay it off each month. But there are pitfalls. First I pay $85 a year for the Gold Amex Delta Skymiles card. I have a ton of miles and I´ve already cashed in enough miles for a flight to Europe and have enough for two more already. Plus it offers the best e...

You guys should write a book. <BR> <BR>I´ve been raised to be frugal as well. I remember that fable about what was it, the cricket and the squirrel?

The clips in the NFSU commercials look good. Probably from the PC version.

<BR>They hired some Hollywood film effects guy to design the lighting effects and the sensation of speed in this game.
<BR>
<BR>Does this have traffic in the online races?

Need For Speed: Underground Impressions - PC
This is one of the first games that let PC and PS2 gamers play in the same game. I think FFXI will be another, maybe FIFA too. On the PS2, this is suppose to be 4-players. <BR> <BR>Spooky, you´re saying you can use any car online, whether you´ve unlocked it or not in singleplayer mode? That would be...

EA on XBL? Maybe
Sony and EA announced an "agreement" last March to have EA games be online-exclusive to the PS2 for one year. <BR> <BR>So it could be close for MVP but a lot of times, these baseball games come out in early March. <BR> <BR>But I agree with PK that if they´re going to announce anything, it´ll be arou...

In addition to what PK said about the sales figures for the Xbox version of Madden and ESPN, I´m not so sure PES2 outsold FIFA. <BR> <BR>At least in Europe, EA claims FIFA2003 outsold PES2. Probably a different story in Japan but in every other region, given the licenses in FIFA, it wouldn´t surpris...

See I don´t think online is affecting overall sales much, despite what the story says. If publishers believe it and produce more online games, that´s fine with me. <BR> <BR>But I´m interested to know which XBL games in Sept. led to the claimed increase in sales. I saw an NPD report for Sept. and ESP...
