Typically 2000-3000hours Mine has lasted over a year per bulb - I use it for gaming and movies. I may hook up a tv tuner soon and get some HD content on there. It's great if you like having people over to play games or watch movies.
Wow, I bet you heard they suck. eMachines are not that bad. They get a bad name because who primarily buys eMachines? Your everyday average joe who has no idea how to work a computer so they blame the machine. I personally own the doorbuster eMachines from the last two year's black friday sales at BB, and they run as well as they did when I bought them. I take care of my stuff.
UPDATED... I made a spreadsheet for myself and I'm still unsure of which I want - I'd like to get (2) 22" http://www.4shared.com/file/28891223/d174ab40/_2__BF_lcd.html LINKS for people w/o Excel: Samsung http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001240&Tpk=2220wm <img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c95/b_senpai/untitled_cr.jpg"></a>
There's more to pricing than just manufacturing costs e.g. packaging, marketing, distribution, etc. However, if the controller prices are REAL, then I'm grabbing about 8-10
I can definitely see OLDER x360 games being $14.99/19.99 and new ones $29.99. I doubt any controllers will be more than $10/15 off.
The only one I can truly believe on that list is 'MADDEN 07'
Depends on your BestBuy - I got there at 9pm and I SWEAR there were about 20-25 people in front of us. When 4am came around, about 10-15 people happened to materialize in front of us. We still got everything we wanted, but I feel bad for the people behind us.
