With the release of Vista, gamers all over the world get DirectX upgrade as well (there had to be some incentive, right?). This clip shows the difference between DX9 and DX10 while playing an upcoming game Crysis. The lighting effects are pretty sick looking. Wish my Radeon 9800 Pro could handle this stuff. I NEED AN UPGRADE!!! See for yourself.
Not that this should come as a surprise to anyone that has shopped at Best Buy, but Connecticut’s attorney general accused Best Buy for overcharging its customers. Supposedly the salespeople would show the customers prices for certain products on the internal Best Buy website, making people believe that they are getting a deal they would if they shopped online.
If this accusation is true, I hope that Best Buy gets what they deserve. I have had some bad experiences with that store and cannot say that I am their fan. Some people are not “internet savy” or just don’t like to shop online. I don’t believe its fair that they have to pay a higher price because of it. Best Buy taking advantage of them is simply unacceptable.
