Game Giants Checkout Closed Dec. 16 in Support of Ron Paul

Posted by admin on November 23, 2007 under Game Giants | Be the First to Comment

Game Giants will be closing down our checkouts on December 16 to support Ron Paul’s Tea Party 07 . Customers will be urged to donate to Paul’s campaign instead of purchasing items on that day. A link will also be provided to the donation site. Customer may purchase any items saved in their carts on December 17.

We feel that Ron Paul’s positions on key issues such as Lower Taxes, Smaller Government, and the Minimization of Market Interference reflect those of online retailers and small business owners, more than any other candidate.

We urge other online retailers to join us in shutting down their checkouts as well on December 16.

Gear for Geeks AMD’s Phenom – For suckers only

And we thought our stance outlined in yesterday’s post was going to controversial!

Gear for Geek’s Adrian Kingsley-Hughes lets loose:

“I’ve come to the conclusion that you’d have to be a sucker to be an early adopter of AMD’s new quad-core line.”

“if you’re gaming, overall performance sucks.”

“instead of giving your money to AMD, you instead buy an Intel Q6600 (Intel’s smallest quad-core) you see an overall performance gain of 13.5% against the Phenom 9600 and an 18% performance gain compared to the Phenom 9500″

“it’s a shame that the hardware isn’t really all that impressive”

” AMD have put time, effort and truck loads of dollars into developing a quad-core processor that really isn’t that good”

“AMD just can’t deliver the power or price point to be able to compete against Intel on anything but the cheapest silicon”

So much for our controversial stand……

Sorry AMD Creative Marketing and Hype is Not the Way To Sell More CPUs

AMD’s strategy to catch up to the Core 2 Duo is Marketing instead of R&D. I guess that is their only option now. Sorry AMD Serious Gamers know better. Count the Buzz words in this video:
