Okay, here's the deal.

Currently looking at some different fan replacements for the xbox 360, as my current Elite has been getting a bit louder since I last remembered it being, and want to start looking now before it's obviously too late.

In one of the sites that I do shop for stuff like this from, there was mention about whether the console had 3-pin or 4-pin for its fan connector, and to check accordingly... well, the problem is that the fans didn't exactly list whether they were 3-pin or 4-pin either.

Having recently taken apart mine, I at least know it is a 3-pin. Would prefer no LED's, or at least none as freakishly bright as the ones on the front of my computer case.

As always, I prefer to avoid eBay as much as possible; I simply don't trust it and basically have to rely on blind faith to whether I'd get what I actually ordered or not. Ideally, I'd want a seller that is listed on ResellerRatings, too.

    But now it's "can I use my VR set with my racing games, that would be neat?" "ONLY IF YOU USE OUR DILDOSTICK CONTROLLERS AND RUN THE GAME ON OUR ANDROID-UNDERPOWERED BRICK"

    The tech to have quality VR goggles at an affordable price is here, but every set has to have 4 additional controllers and be standalone.

    These are the same type of gamers that spend $2,000 on a GPU when a $600 GPU gives nearly the same outcome which is what the market looks at for them to do spend more on unneeded bs

    If we're talking AAA titles a vr headset would be priced at nearly the same cost as a midrange gaming pc maybe even double

    I think they should bring back the shutter glasses for VR put 120Hz screen in for 60FPS and even a basic phone these days can pull that off

    How so?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I liked the Ouya as a concept the implementation left much to be desired
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Pi kind of did it right
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ouya did set the standard for android media consoles so I can give them that

  • Veho @ Veho:
    The Ouya kind of hinged on their game shop and the idea of mandatory free demos and shit. When that failed, the console flopped with it.
