it seems like it has a built in power supply, instead of an external one, that's neat; I wish it had more output options like DP, but 4K resolutions over HDMI should suffice

@felix9: I guess you are right. Many XBLA games are C++ quality.

C++ quality? you mean, fast, reliable, efficient, and pretty on top of everything else? yes, C++ games are always like that, and XBLA can be like that, sometimes

the last one was kind of cute

I think it's really HTML that holds JavaScript back. Are we still performing string manipulation on document.cookies to read an individual cookie?

That's DOM, it's the DOM and poor browser performance that holds JavaScript back

For games it doesn't really matter how fast your CPU in your PC is, since 99% of all games coming out now are console ports so are designed to run on 7 year old hardware (Xbox360 and PS3). Hopefully once the PS4 and new Xbox come out there will be some new games that actually utilize modern PC hardware.

Except some select ones, like Crysis

really cool
