General Chat / Critique this comp (aka DOES THIS COMP HAVE ISSUES?)
« on: November 19, 2008, 05:46:47 pm »
So I'm in the market for a new comp that's about a mid range system and I come across this:

This comp is $459.99 Canadian which comes out to be ~$375.90 US.  Shipping to the US is $40 Canadian which is ~$31.90.

I realize it does not have an operating system and I don't give a crap about sound cards or that it uses an on board network card... barring those things... how is this rig so cheap???  Does it have teh aids?  I see this specific setup on eBay from this company up constantly so they're just churning these babies out... can anyone more tech savvy than me take a glance at this???  Is this just an amazing deal or what?  Help me out here...

General Chat / No more CGS... apparently...
« on: November 18, 2008, 01:49:57 pm »


Today BSkyB, STAR, and DirecTV ended their Championship Gaming Series (CGS) business.

While the concept was ahead of its time and we are extremely proud of what we've accomplished, it became increasingly clear as this ambitious project evolved, that profitability was too far in the future for us to sustain operations in the interim.

Our goal was to be ahead of the curve in the e-sports space, and we conceived of CGS as a true sports league.  We invested wholeheartedly in the venture and presented viewers with a top-notch production, but the economics just didn't add up for us at this time.

Our only regret is that we will lose a team of creative and talented individuals who invested their hearts and souls inthe Championship Gaming Series.  We recognize their achievements and thank them for their hard work and passion.

BskyB, STAR, and DirecTV continue to be committed to the video games sector, which is an important part of many of our customers' lives and a great source of entertainment.

Sincerely,

The CGS Team
