Gamer Hintz

If you heard rumors about the Xbox 360 bundled with Kinect selling for $99, they were true.  Microsoft has officially announced a subscription based Xbox 360 with Kinect "deal" for $99.  But hold up, there is more to this than meets the eye.  As I said earlier, it is SUBSCRIPTION BASED, meaning you have to pay a monthly bill.  In this case the monthly bill is a $14.99 Live Gold Subscription, repeating itself for two years ($359.76). Sadly the hard drive is only 4GB meaning you would have to upgrade to a larger HD for the best experience (extra $80 some odd dollars).  Last but not least, this deal is only available at Microsoft Stores using this coupon.

You can find Microsoft's terms and conditions here: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Legal/xbox-live-contract-terms

If anyone is intrested, Burnout CRASH! is now on iTunes here for the prince of $4.99.  You get 54 levels, 6 areas, and 7 vehicles to crash in....

Keeping up a website costs time and money, neither of which I have much of lately.  Sadly I have to ask this question.  Is it worth it to keep Gamer Hintz alive?  At this time, Burnout Paradise is pretty much dead, and so is our community.

Options are as follows:

1. Put ads on the site to see if they generate enough money to pay for server costs.
2. Go back to a free website that has no domain name and randomly disabled for going over bandwidth limits
3. Delete the website and put all mods on a wordpress.com blog.

Quite a few people are looking for new file hosting due to the fact that the file sharing monster Megaupload was shutdown recently and Rapidshare has a 30 KB per second download limit for free users.  With that in mind I have created the below list of my favorite file hosts that are fast, dependable, free, and easy to use.

#1. Medifire

Defiantly my favorite file host ever.

Pros: Unlimited downloads, uploads, and no wait time.  Site is streamlined and easy to use.  Virus scanner makes sure your files on the site are clean before being shared.  Desktop uploader (in beta) makes uploading files to site extremely easy.

Cons: 200 MB file limit for free users.  But this is easy to overcome by splinting your file into parts and then uploading.

#2. Minus

Another favorite of mine for hosting of my pictures and videos.   Clicking this link to register gives me more storage space...so register with this link.

Pros: Easy to use, free, large 2 GB file limit, browsers extensions for taking screenshots and auto uploading to minus account, desktop and mobile apps for easy uploading to minus, hot-linking, videos play from browser.

Cons: In order to increase your storage space from the limit of 10 GB you have to refer friends.  Videos of larger size do not play in browser.

#3. Dropbox

A favorite of mine for storing my music or letting people download a  MOD super fast.  Clicking this link when registering gives me more storage space...so click it.

Pros: Super fast downloads and uploads, easy to use, not file limit, desktop uploader and downloader, will sync files between many computers.

Cons: Storage is limited when you first register but can be increased through buying premium or referring friends.

Those are my top 3, I also use Windows Live SkyDrive, but it has a 50 MB file limit.

If you have any favorites or recommendations please leave them in the comments.

DLC Cars Unlocker

Seems as if the FBI has shut down Megaupload's family of sites.  AND Arrested its CEO and 6 other staff members.  Oh well.  Anyways, It has been shutdown and random people are hacking federal websites as revenge.  Since I can't explain all of this in a few words, read about it here.

NOTE If you have any MODs that were on Megaupload, please send me new links so that I may readd them to the site.
