You don't need to buy an Octavio though, so I'm not sure why someone considering a Zune would necessarily add the two prices up in their mind.

As far as not showing the accessories, well I disagree with that idea... I think it is important to show that 3rd parties are signing up to support the Zune, especially when so many accessories are available for the iPod... if we didn't talk about Zune accessories until we were established, then I think that would be a big mistake.

There are much cheaper docks available though, I just haven't been able to see any of them yet... maybe once it is out I can cover all of the 'basic' accessories like the dock, the car pack, the travel pack, etc... but of course, a person only needs to buy the Zune.

Regarding NWN2 ... sadly I'm hearing nothing but negative comments so far... which is likely unfair... I guess it is rather buggy at this point. I had a similar experience with the "Pool of Radiance" game (not the gold box one, that one rocked my C64!) and it was eventually resolved with patch after patch but by that time I had given up hope. For NWN2 I think I'll let other people go through the pain...

I'll pick it up once I've seen some patches come out

Jesse and I both plan to put them right on our desks... that is, of course, after seeing if I can get the helmet over my son's head

Most Wanted isn't in that list, although (as you noticed) that is just the fully supported list... I can still drive with it, I just won't get force feedback.

PGR3 is what we were able to try... amazing.

I'm fine with the Horse Armor honestly and the other Oblivion expansions ... I paid for it and I get it (and it can't be used up like buying money for a Godfather game)... in fact in the case of some of the Oblivion ones, it extends the life of the game (horse armor was overpriced, but they admitted that they were just guessing at what to charge) but it is with multi-player changes that affect the actual competition that I get really upset and of course with bug fixes that only come with expansions.

I wish they'd just go all Neverwinter Nights with a console game though, allow me to download completely new storylines (they could call them 'modules') ... Oblivion is somewhat close to that, but imagine self-contained story lines... 10 hours of gameplay enjoyment that you can download once you've bought the 'engine'.

Mmm... neverwinter nights on a console... mmm...

Ah, someone already found video...  I love the Internets

Oh Charles, you poor sheltered boy... we'll have to find you some video reference material for this

Having shot a few C9 videos myself, I know what you mean. About half of mine have been exactly as you describe (big window behind subject, lighting messed up) and for the other half it would have been like that but I was more assertive and closed their blinds and/or moved them away from the window

Having filmed a few C9 videos myself, I know what you mean... I've done about half with cruddy lighting and for the rest they would have been cruddy but I made a point of closing the person's windows and/or moving them so that the window was at least to the side... of course, presetting the whitebalance and then switching it to manual would be best, but honestly I hardly ever think of that type of thing when I'm using these little teeny wheeny camcorders

Yep, the Defiant is in there... or at least a ship of that class... as far as the type of game, gameplay footage, etc... well, I'll see what I can do
