You would be wrong.. It's tech beta that was available from Microsoft's connect Beta web site.

They sent me a Radeon 4650HD Video card to use with the beta, and now I'll get a free copy of Windows 7 too. Can't complain!

I have it working now. But with a couple of major issues. I have all of my movies encoded currently in VC-1 with 5.1 surround for my 360. The PS3 Can't play them. They limited the play to files under 2g, and 5.1 is not supported.

DivX and VC-1 files over 2 gigs also do not work. So for me, it's a worthless upgrade, all of my files are upscaled to at least 720p, 5.1 surround, and about 3-4g.

Yep, I believe it has from day one. As long as it was a supported format.

I've used my USB Drive to watch video on my 360..

The description of the cluster needs work. Are only screenshots allowed for the contest? The first sentence also mentions videos, the second does not.

Description: THis group is dedicated to posting screenshots and videos from LOTRs Online. The best screenshot will win an Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad Core worth about $967. To get the demo, just click on one of the banners here in the Cluster.

Good luck Jcal! Is there any way to watch the tourney?

I haven't bought this game yet, so I don't know what type of xbox live features it has.

Wow.. I can't believe MK3 made the list, but Worms didn't... Worms is either #1 or #2, with Geometry wars on the other slot.

Damn, it's nice working for a small company that really doesn't care.

If you need me, I'll be either playing on work's XBOX 360, or playing our our pool in the break room.

I'm guessing that there are no more keys available through firingsquad.

The Open beta begins soon though, you'll be able to get a key then directly from Turbine.

JCal,

It's been a couple days and I haven't been contacted..

I need to order a MB for this card, and I just want to try to get them to show up at the same time. Any idea when the cards will be delivered? (Sorry, I'm anxious) :)

I just really, really want to put the "new" box together (Keeping RAM, CPU and HD's, just a new MB and the video card from Firingsquad)

Thanks!
-Distort

Public voting was destroyed by well.. the public. A few people decided to cheat the system. I'm glad that the firingsquad editors decided to even out the playing field.

The #1 rated screen shot was not even close to the best screen shot. I think we can all agree that the dear over the head screen shot did not deserve to win this contest. Funny how it was one of the few that magically got a bunch of high votes the last couple days.

Thank you for looking through the "ratings". Some screen shots ended up with 16+ votes, while other older screen shots had 5 or less.

There was something funny going on.

and WHOHOO! Time to order a PCIE Motherboard!

They have to be short, the contest is for a 10 second video. This video is 10.00 seconds.

I'm making the full 45 second fight available at http://laninsanity.com/drake.wmv

It's my home 'net connection, so if it's slow to download, sorry :)

It started as a ranged fight.

Yep.. Before I went to bed, I know it was a 9 and a 8 (85%) then your 9, and then it looks like I got a 1 and another lower rating..

C'mon people.. Show some respect.

I believe he's talking about picture #3, it's also pretty dark on my LCD here.

For my vote.. I gave you a 7. I didn't care for shot #2, or I would of probably given a 8 (I liked the description on the bear)
