News Web Reviews Roundup, 12th April 2007

This sorta thing is a really good idea, hope to see these regularly

 

Is this one of those changes Tim hinted at?

 

Nice, but you have no modding section in your roundup which is a tad werid.

 

There were no reviews today in our inbox OF mods, however there were 3 things about photography.

It's a bi-daily thing, but since I'm now off travelling for 2 weeks I don't know who'll take over, so the next one might be in may

 

Bi-daily meaning twice per day or once every two days? Interesting to see a P180 review there, when the P182's are on the fringes of being out(half the companies listing P180's are shipping 182's according to a few accounts anyway). Any ETA on the 182 for proper release Bit?

 

Gaming network card

 

Have you been living under a rock? I've seen several reviews of this and they almost all amount to: Yes it works BUT the difference is massively insignificant and the cost is not; especially since it's competing with what comes built into the motherboard (essentially "free").

 

Killer NIC is as pointless as a chocolate made blow torch.

 

Ummmmm, Chocolate /me rubs belly

 

Thank you IMMENSELY, guys. This is one of the few things I've missed from the old site (other than all the old mods - fun to read through every so often). I remember every day you'd list the big reviews and stuff, and I'd always read them. I never really felt like browsing their sites, just yours. These are always great, and frankly I didn't like when you stuck them on the side of News. Thanks again, the only thing I miss now is the old stuff! Hopefully it's all archived somewhere safe.

 

Gaming physics card, Gaming network card? Whats next.

 

yea thinking about it - biannual is twice annual. I was thinking of biennial which is once every two years. So, "every other day" would be more accurate without trying to be too clever

 

The Powershot TX-1 looks good, but y'bugger.. the size of card required for HD recording. I know I'd need an hours worth, which you could only acheive with a 16GB sd card!

 

It was 'released' in the UK yesterday... not sure on when you'll see a review yet though - we've been promised a case, so hopefully soon

 

Yup, looked that one up a while ago and bi meaning simply two, can either be used to mean "twice per X" or "every 2nd X".

Any idea what Antec have been playing at? There've been reports across the UK and US sites of people recieving P180's that have P182 features, and P182's instead of P180's they've ordered..it seems like antec actually started shipping the thing en masse before it was even released .
