Would anybody like to purchase 2x Gigabyte GTX 460 1GB OC? They run FFXIV extremely well, together. Alas, I'd like to upgrade.

They're about 6 months old, and, yes, they're SLI-ready. That's how I've been using them. They're about $190 right now, new, and my used price is $150. They're the 1GB version and they come pre-OC'd, but you can still crank them up if desired. According to Tom's Hardware, together, they're as powerful as a GTX 560 1.5GB.

150 each or together? I think I know the answer already, but it's worth asking.

I already have a 1 Gig Corssfire-X Radeon 5770 in there now, but I've been in the market to get another one in order to fully utilize my 2nd monitor. I'm thinking about your offer and I mightjust wind up selling the Radeon and put your cards in instead. I'll get back to you.

Each. The two of them will cost $300.

That's what I figured. It would cost me 125 for a second card of the same type I have... I just checked the price on TigerDirect. I might just go for that instead... but I have a buddy who's in the market for new cards and yours is a fair deal. Let me ask him and I'll get back to you.

On an unrelated note: Can someone please tell me what Ancient Beastcoins are going for on your servers? I'm not near my computer at the moment and I'm curious as to how much I'm about to spend to get my Brutal Earring tonight.

Is it still aroun 7k each?

I just sold some @7k each 2 nights ago on Asura. Most of the shouts that I have seen recently are in the 5-6k range, however.

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

buddy picked up a 3DS, let me play a round of Super Monkey Ball on it.

The line up here is absolute shit, looks like the NA market at least gets that better. But the thing is a damned impressive piece of technology.

Professor Layton respectfully disagrees, mostly to keep the cast from SSFIV from beating you up.

Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle was the top-selling 3DS launch game, which should come as no big surprise. We're not seeing it at launch here because Level 5 takes their sweet time to localize anything.

The US launch does have more games going for it, its a little bit of everything. very little of it is as mindblowing as what will come starting in June onward, but its a starting point and since I have Radiant Historia, Pokemon this weekend and Okamiden on the 15th, I'm not exactly at a loss for things to do on my DS right now, so what little I'll be picking up for 3DS will be just fine.

Street Fighter IV, Samurai Warriors Chronicle, Pilotwings Resort and I'm good. I'll might even wait to do the latter two in the weeks after as I'll be getting Dissidia Duodecim just before 3DS and The 3rd Birthday just a couple weeks later. This and next month are just dense with good handheld releases no matter which platform you're looking at in the US.

I have heard complaints about SSFIV (the 3DS d-pad is pretty awkwardly placed; it's clearly not intended to be a primary control method), nothing bad about Layton. I mean, it's not terrible, but there's nothing really in the "I must buy this" category. The bigger problem is that there's not much on the horizon either-- the guy who bought the 3DS told me he doesn't want anything else for it until the end of March (I'm guessing BlazBlue). All of the really sweet games are still release date unannounced.

That said, this thing ain't going the way of the Virtual Boy, so I'm perfectly content to wait. Honestly, there are some things I dislike about the hardware (the top of the clamshell has a weird bulge to it, presumably to accommodate the 3D screen; the power button is back to being below the ABXY buttons, the stylus is kinda awkward to get to, and the thing is another damn fingerprint magnet) that may be enough to motivate me to wait for a revised version. Not to mention even used games are expensive as shit here.

I envy you for having the time, money, and attention span to even play all those games. o_o Given I'm almost OCD, depending on the game, I'd likely go insane.
