@  DBMgamer : (22 May 2013 - 09:50 PM) trolling Microsoft FTW:  http://www.playstati...s-xbox-account/
@  Dbl Incertion : (22 May 2013 - 02:46 PM) Maf - Bought the items early this year out of need more then want. Figured razer and astros would still be viable on next gen. I'd like to assume at least headset will work.
@  Mister Maf : (22 May 2013 - 02:25 PM) Dbl - why would you buy those when you know the 360 is at the end of its lifecycle? I would suppose that headset makers would have adapters, though.
@  twentyONE : (22 May 2013 - 01:12 PM) Uhhh, WOW! I recommend you take 2 minutes to watch this (Hans Zimmer yeauhh!):   http://www.ign.com/v...steel-trailer-5
@  Dbl Incertion : (22 May 2013 - 06:31 AM) Hmmm guess Xbox one won't support the $300 headset I just bought or the 100$ controller. Mildly irritating.
@  Holmboy : (22 May 2013 - 06:05 AM) Feel free to blog here Hikari, you don't have to login to Google to make a comment.
@  octave : (21 May 2013 - 10:18 PM) There is no war. PC mustard race.
@  chocolatemilk95 : (21 May 2013 - 08:02 PM) console wars? *prepares popcorn*
@  BSHikariStealBS : (21 May 2013 - 07:42 PM) Going to be Starting a new Public Blog. could use some Fresh new stories to share :P  http://hikaristeal.blogspot.com/
@  twentyONE : (21 May 2013 - 06:33 PM) Wow!  Knights of the Old republic coming to iPad and Battlefront confirmed today by EA.....Star Wars gaming nerdgasm!
@  Chilli2627 : (21 May 2013 - 06:26 PM) cuz we didnt already all assume that! lol, now i gotta go switch my pre-order
@  twentyONE : (21 May 2013 - 06:14 PM) Lost in the shuffle was the announcement that Battlefield 4 will indeed be available on next-gen consoles at launch.
@  TheBMT : (21 May 2013 - 06:12 PM) lmao... a peripheral
@  Chilli2627 : (21 May 2013 - 05:26 PM) sony stock up 9%
@  Chilli2627 : (21 May 2013 - 05:26 PM) http://www.ign.com/a...xbox-one-reveal
@  Chilli2627 : (21 May 2013 - 05:25 PM) i thought the wii U was a peripheral
@  Holmboy : (21 May 2013 - 05:14 PM) After this debacle, Nintendo needs to just focus on being a great AAA developer and spread awesome Zelda and Mario titles to the world.
@  DBMgamer : (21 May 2013 - 05:00 PM) ... and on the Wii U front *cricketts
@  Chilli2627 : (21 May 2013 - 04:39 PM) When you try to do all, typically you become a jack of all and a master of none... just sayin
@  joost96 : (21 May 2013 - 03:03 PM) Xbox One, really? Can't be more sure this thing will be blown away by the new PlayStation now.
@  THE RED DRAGON : (21 May 2013 - 02:59 PM) they did announce 15 exclusives for the Xbox - 8 which are brand new franchises - - E3 is all about the games
@  Acerdavidii : (21 May 2013 - 02:34 PM) Hmmmm, I sense some console war ammunition there Holmboy........ (lol)
@  Holmboy : (21 May 2013 - 01:39 PM) Were any first-party exclusives other than Forza shown? If not then I have to give it to the PS4 conference since they showed buckets of exclusive gameplay footage.
@  twentyONE : (21 May 2013 - 12:41 PM) HOLY COW! I didn't see where EA has confirmed that Star Wars Battlefront is indeed in development!!  Yayeah!
@  twentyONE : (21 May 2013 - 12:36 PM) Look, we all know that the games and gameplay are being saved for E3. Honestly, I was pretty underwhelmed by both Sony's and Microsoft's reveals overall.
@  Acerdavidii : (21 May 2013 - 12:35 PM) Hey Red, I've got a question or two about video production and monetization.
@  Acerdavidii : (21 May 2013 - 12:32 PM) Wow, Forza 5  (FiveZa?) looks spectacular! It will probably be the biggest impetus for me to get the new Xbox 1.
@  TheBMT : (21 May 2013 - 12:19 PM) integrated DVR for games is pretty awesome though
@  TheBMT : (21 May 2013 - 12:18 PM) forza 5 looks pretty good
@  DBMgamer : (21 May 2013 - 12:07 PM) no just fifa 14 ULTIMATE TEAM... whatever makes it ULTIMATE will prolly be DLC on the regular one
@  ParadoxPP : (21 May 2013 - 12:05 PM) FIFA 14 as an exclusive? WTF
@  ParadoxPP : (21 May 2013 - 11:53 AM) oh EA...
@  DBMgamer : (21 May 2013 - 11:47 AM) the only thing i have seen so far that affects us future PS4ers is that the hard drive may be 500gb
@  Dbl Incertion : (21 May 2013 - 11:46 AM) Live action halo TV show!!!!!!!! Epeen
@  Holmboy : (21 May 2013 - 11:38 AM) Xbox One: The only console that will have exclusive bonus content for FIFA 14 Ultimate Team. They made it sound like EA Sports titles will only be available on Xbox One, lol!
@  ParadoxPP : (21 May 2013 - 11:34 AM) http://omelete.uol.c...rimeiros-jogos/ try here
@  Dbl Incertion : (21 May 2013 - 11:33 AM) It keeps freezing then kicking me off. :-(
@  ParadoxPP : (21 May 2013 - 11:32 AM) Skipped class today to see the reveal, not disapointed
@  Holmboy : (21 May 2013 - 11:31 AM) Lol, let the console flame wars begin!
@  twentyONE : (21 May 2013 - 11:29 AM) Games haven't been shown yet and I am blown away already.  It's pretty obvious who has a better marketing team and strategy.
@  TheBMT : (21 May 2013 - 11:24 AM) nerdgasm...and games arent even being shown yet
@  Holmboy : (21 May 2013 - 11:21 AM) Xbox One Unveiled (Streaming Link) - http://www.guardian....ing-live-stream

@  LegacyKillaHD : (21 May 2013 - 07:16 AM) Hola
@  Myelencephalous : (21 May 2013 - 07:11 AM) glad to hear it twentyONE; we have family that was caught right in the middle; they are 2 minutes away from Moore - they got lucky
@  twentyONE : (20 May 2013 - 08:32 PM) I am ALIVE!  Had to take shelter and thankfully I was out of harm's way.  It's not good.  Deadly Tornadoes are a way of life here...it's tragic.  People almost get immune to them because they're so common, but then every few years we get a BIG one and its a terrible reminder.
@  schism1861 : (20 May 2013 - 07:51 PM) im on now!
@  THE RED DRAGON : (20 May 2013 - 07:27 PM) I'll be on later fo sho - - might be like an hr and half or 2 hrs - - cookin chicken
@  TheBMT : (20 May 2013 - 07:07 PM) mmm its been like 38 days since i have shot real bitches in the face.  Depends if I pass out in the next hour or not
@  schism1861 : (20 May 2013 - 07:06 PM) not meaning to interrupt talk of real world events......but do any of my xbox brethren feel like shooting some bitches in the face tonight? i will be joining the Jedi Wombat in one hour. others are welcome! (i'm looking at you Red)
@  THE RED DRAGON : (20 May 2013 - 06:54 PM) I saw where it just completely leveled one town - - so sad - - Tornados are scary as hell
@  TheBMT : (20 May 2013 - 06:54 PM) extreme weather only shows how little we really are in this world
@  Myelencephalous : (20 May 2013 - 05:54 PM) Live feed of the rubble in OKC; literally pulling people out of the debris, and more storms are coming.  Stay safe OK!  http://www.news9.com...ementary-school
@  Second Jack : (20 May 2013 - 12:45 PM) Thank you@Holmboy
@  Holmboy : (20 May 2013 - 11:08 AM) Can't freaking wait for the PS4!
@  DBMgamer : (20 May 2013 - 10:41 AM) teaser trailer for PS4, you can see some of the console though you feel like you need a sqaud cover perk once your done:  http://youtu.be/CxWwxbVGbpg
@  Mister Maf : (19 May 2013 - 03:36 PM) Amazon has a discount on Infinite for Sunday only if you haven't picked it up yet - $40 physical copy or $35 digital PC download http://www.amazon.co...NSAZ96P6NC3PXYV
@  Acerdavidii : (18 May 2013 - 05:13 PM) I enjoyed Star Trek but apparently the nouveaux-geeks are having a hard time with it. Talk about over analyzing something. Pshaw! I say.
@  TheBMT : (18 May 2013 - 03:40 PM) im hearing star trek was pretty good
@  THE RED DRAGON : (18 May 2013 - 12:25 PM) im hearing different things about star trek
@  THE RED DRAGON : (18 May 2013 - 12:25 PM) superman did look pretty good
@  twentyONE : (18 May 2013 - 09:48 AM) Star Trek, Superman and Pacific Rim are the only movies I'm really pumped to see this summer.
@  Acerdavidii : (17 May 2013 - 09:00 PM) Watch in HDhttp://youtu.be/5guMumPFBag
@  Acerdavidii : (17 May 2013 - 08:54 PM) I read the book Joe and while the movie seems to be a big departure I'll still go see it. Of course the movie I'm really waiting for is Pacific Rim.
@  Grumpy Joe : (17 May 2013 - 08:44 PM) Preview of World War Z looked interesting also.
@  Grumpy Joe : (17 May 2013 - 08:21 PM) @ Acer. At least we can agree about something.
@  twentyONE : (17 May 2013 - 05:53 PM) Acer-- I'm going to see it in IMAX next week....I'm pumped!
@  Michrulejj : (17 May 2013 - 04:45 PM) BS FRIDAY NIGHTS!!! PS3 time!
@  Acerdavidii : (17 May 2013 - 02:34 PM) Star Trek: Into Darkness = AWESOME!! (That's all I'm saying)
@  twentyONE : (17 May 2013 - 02:16 PM) Holmboy, I would have joined you long ago if I didn't hate the PS3 controller for shooters.  I like the design of the PS4 pad but curious to see how it "feels" because I am leaning that way. Although it looks like it still doesn't have proper triggers .. sadface
@  Holmboy : (17 May 2013 - 01:33 PM) I'l be playing in a couple hours...on PS3. Why? Because it's BattleStrats Friday Night, you ain't got no job, and you ain't got crap to do!
@  twentyONE : (17 May 2013 - 01:27 PM) Anyone down for some Friday night BF3 action?
@  TheBMT : (17 May 2013 - 12:25 PM) pacific rim does look pretty badass. keeps getting better trailers too
@  twentyONE : (17 May 2013 - 10:12 AM) DAMN!! That new Pacific Rim trailer is BADASS!  That movie looks sick and I'm a big Del Torro fan!
@  Holmboy : (17 May 2013 - 09:07 AM) The first one, I have the Ripper Mod Blueprints if you want them.
@  Balay : (17 May 2013 - 07:23 AM) With Riptide or the first one? I'm up for some, if my internet cooperates. LOL
@  Holmboy : (17 May 2013 - 07:11 AM) Yeah Dead Island is great, still need to find someone to play Co-op with on PS3. Anyone?
@  Balay : (17 May 2013 - 07:02 AM) I did the same thing for Dead Island. For me, Dead Island is one of the best zombie games ever made. But Riptide is a little crap. Lots of bugs, and annoying enemies.
@  Holmboy : (17 May 2013 - 06:57 AM) Yeah, if you pay shipping Balay :P I did the same thing, put it down for over a year. I can't wait to play it again so I can change the story and try to get all of the trophies.
@  Balay : (17 May 2013 - 06:25 AM) I've played Heavy Rain, but I didn't finish it, can I borrow? :D
@  Holmboy : (17 May 2013 - 06:10 AM) That was funny, I had to Google it.
@  Balay : (17 May 2013 - 06:03 AM) LOL "Press X to Jason"
@  Whinterfell : (16 May 2013 - 09:39 PM) God if I hear that name one more time I will kill something.  Not sure what yet but seriously I will.
@  TheBMT : (16 May 2013 - 07:44 PM) lol... Destruction 3.0.  Reminds me of their description of Destruction in BF3.  Its more of an "aura" of destruction than actual destruction.
@  DBMgamer : (16 May 2013 - 05:49 PM) Press X to Jason
@  Holmboy : (16 May 2013 - 01:37 PM) Got a PS3 or can borrow one? Do you like gripping, dark storylines similar to movies like Se7en? Then Heavy Rain is must-have, trust me - http://www.battlestr...555-heavy-rain/
@  Acerdavidii : (16 May 2013 - 01:13 PM) Thx Red, yeah Joe's an ugly mug isn't he. (lol) Hey Holmboy!
@  Holmboy : (16 May 2013 - 12:35 PM) Was that Destruction 3.0? Can't wait for that in BF4...
@  THE RED DRAGON : (16 May 2013 - 12:14 PM) I didn't realize Grumpy joe really does look.....grumpy - nice explosions acer lol
@  Holmboy : (16 May 2013 - 12:14 PM) Howdy Acer, what's the haps?
@  Acerdavidii : (16 May 2013 - 11:40 AM) Howdy Folks!
@  Holmboy : (16 May 2013 - 05:51 AM) Here's a link - http://www.ign.com/a...f-online-passes
@  Balay : (15 May 2013 - 09:22 PM) I saw the news at IGN. Dunno 'bout DBM.
@  Oz70NYC : (15 May 2013 - 08:29 PM) @DBMgamer Where'd you hear that at?
@  Balay : (15 May 2013 - 07:16 PM) Wuuuuut? Are you saying that they're going to remove online passes?
@  DBMgamer : (15 May 2013 - 07:15 PM) EA is doing away with its online pass because it is listening to its customers?  The world is about to end Y'all
@  Balay : (15 May 2013 - 06:51 PM) Who's back? :D
@  TheBMT : (15 May 2013 - 12:05 PM) DL'd it, but too busy to play it.  Hopefully this week I will get a crack at it
@  Holmboy : (15 May 2013 - 09:30 AM) Hopefully it'll be good, Insomniac Games has a great track record on PS3 creating Ratchet & Clank and Resistance. This is their first game outside of the PlayStation family.
@  Dbl Incertion : (15 May 2013 - 07:24 AM) Anyone else play the FUSE demo? Seems like it could be some fun as a time passer during lul season
@  JLesinski : (14 May 2013 - 09:29 PM) Welcome Second Jack
@  Holmboy : (14 May 2013 - 03:01 PM) Hey Second Jack, glad you made it to the website!
@  Second Jack : (14 May 2013 - 01:56 PM) Hello !!
@  Holmboy : (14 May 2013 - 09:23 AM) Yeah, we have a great Original 6 matchup with the Rangers. Time to renew the NY-Boston rivalry!
@  JLesinski : (14 May 2013 - 08:10 AM) My Red Wings gave me plenty of excitement during our series with annaheim. I didn't expect us to win that series, much less the next round against Chicago. At least it will be a good Original 6 matchup
@  Holmboy : (14 May 2013 - 06:07 AM) Almost had a heart attack during last night's Bruins game - Game 7, down 4-1 in the 3rd period and they find a way to tie and eventually win in overtime! - http://video.nhl.com...=248470&lang=en
@  DBMgamer : (13 May 2013 - 08:44 PM) oh and the map where you blow the dam and flood the combat area is called "Chulyshman Dam".... check the Battlefield Forums
@  DBMgamer : (13 May 2013 - 04:59 PM) Fake PS4 commercial its pretty good:  http://youtu.be/3trQXK8oBS4
@  DBMgamer : (13 May 2013 - 04:45 PM) minor update for battlelog, its not the full blown 2.0 update :( , should be down tommorow
@  Holmboy : (13 May 2013 - 06:42 AM) He's notorious for gloating about how notorious he is, lol!

I've recently purchased CLEAR and I've got to say, this thing blows...hard. It has pretty good surfing speeds but once I get on Xbox LIVE or try to play PC games online it goes down the you-know-what. I've tried many troubleshooting processes but that hasn't helped either. So I've decided to cancel my contract and I really don't care how much it cost, I just want to get rid of it. So I've come to ask you guys what are some recommended ISPs?

TL;DR: What are some recommended ISPs?

Need to find an ISP that has a high QoS(Quality of Service). You can have the fastest speeds in the world but if your QoS sucks then so will your gaming experience. I have Comcast and average around 20/2 PC and 10/2 PS3 but as soon as I am host on COD, I start to lag out because my connection can not stay consistent and take the drain of all the other players.

You can test your QoS on certain websites, but not like speedtest.net because that is just a "Burst" test. I found a nice free test a while ago via Google but I don't remember the site but I scored like a "C" and I know my "ping" to the west coast(from PA) is around 90-100ms, that is not that great for gaming...

I've had previous issues with Comcast. Especially, with the connection randomly going out for periods of time. Some lasting seconds, some lasting hours.

Yeah, ISP quality varies by physical location, not provider. Comcast lines may be great in one city, and completely blow in another. You really do just have to do homework locally. Tis forum probably cant help you much. I recently switched from Comcast to Qwest DSL. Qwest is offering no phone line contracts now, so it is cheaper than cable. That is why I never used DSL before, cause I do not want to pay for a land line I wouldn't use. Now it is not required. Worth looking into as an option.

If it's available in your area and you want to shell out, go with Verizon FIOS. Can't argue with a fiber optic network
