Wow, I hope everyone is out drinking til 9 pm tomorrow.

WOW !

No one else bid! I want this one...

heh, worth a try.

Don't worry, Joe... I won't bid on any of those three numbers. :)

We already have all of the video game systems. A third Xbox could go in the boy's room.

[waves hand in Jedi fashion]

This is not the contest you were looking for.........

ok... I call dibs on 1.... no one else pick it...and I mean it this time!

Hmm ... wherever could all the whiners be?

Saw Pac-Man on the box, how could I resist? haha.

and just think .. the winner could put that xbox controller from the tangatrash to good use .. lol

whats an x box??? (360 what?)

Wow!
This Bottom Feeder Contest sure has increased Tanga Membership!!!
Since this contest was posted (13 hours ago) there are 111 new members, 106 who bid on this, 99 who ONLY bid on this prize.

Over the last year Tanga has averaged about 2.6 new members per hour - This period averaged 8.5 per hour.

Wow!
edit:

Another 28 members in the last hour!!! 3 didn't bid (yet) 4 did other things)
Sad to think most of them are only here to bid on the xbox...

this is too good to pass up.

[14] Ya... I think they should limit the people who can bid to people who have made 1 purchase. I think it is silly that you can just sign up a billion times and enter the contest that many times. Or at least put some limiting factor like must have been a member for a week or check IP address and have it one per IP.

720p and 1080i isn't as booya as 1080p.

[17] 1080i and 1080p are basically the same. It is the same resolution, just different how it refreshes. There is almost no visual difference unless you have extremely sensitive eyes. Plus, 1080p TVs cost a lot more and there are no TV stations that transmit in 1080p (or weren't last time I checked about 6 months ago). So to have a 1080p right now is kind of silly.

[8] Thanks for the laugh!

Ok, this is for everyone who's been whining about the quality of the bottom feeders, how nothing good gets put up, etc. This will make up for any and all Feeders, even the snowglobe.

[16] the IP checking would potentially alienate some folks who have been dedicated customers for an extended time. My husband and I have been around for well over a year (solving puzzles together) but naturally we use the same computer and so have the same IP. Likewise, there might be problems from university campuses and such where the IP addresses are shared, but the individuals might not even know one another.

Not saying there shouldn't be some checking to ensure that people aren't setting up bogus accounts, but simply going off of an IP isn't the way to do it.

[14] But many of them might get hooked on Tanga, and one of them could even rise to the top of the leaderboards. Or become famous someday. Just because of Tanga. You never know.

[20] What I don't understand is why people gripe about the bottom feeders occasional lack of quality anyway... I mean, it's FREE people!

[18] If you're a gamer, then there is a difference, as 1080p/60 from a computer can be 60 different frames per second (instead of 24 different frames per second doubled and tripled, as with movie content). It is unlikely that native 1080p/60 content will ever be broadcast or distributed in wide numbers. So for movies and TV broadcasts you are correct, but when it comes to gaming(such as tonight's bottom feeder)then there is quite a difference.We need that 60+ fps for gaming.

What is this again?...............Just Kidding! OMG I would like to have one!

Boy, if we won this we'd jump from a Nintendo64 to an Xbox 360...

Can I play Super Mario Brothers on it?

[26] no there is mario or nintendo anything on xbox.

But Stexe usually P does matter once you go over 42" of TV

Boy, did I ever over shoot that one!

[24] But even still it wouldn't matter because everyone is on a "level playing field" of 1080i. So it shouldn't really matter that it doesn't support 1080p in the gaming spectrum.

Sucks that there were a billion people who signed up just to try to win it... and I think IP would work even if people share an IP, they do only 1 contest entry per house hold usually, so that would be fine.

stexe, what are you even talking about? Level playing field?

and there is a difference between 1080i and 1080p. It's the difference between tomatoes and bananas. a definition. they just don't throw the p and the i at the end of the random numbers to make you buy displays. they very clearly mean something. There is a HUGE difference between an interlaced source and a progressive scan source, even if you can't notice it.

and in the interest of full disclosure, it should be noted that the arcade bundle is NOT capable of high definition out of the box because it only comes with composite cables :-D

[31] I was refering to the fact that if everyone only has the option of 1080i instead of both 1080i and 1080p, then in a video game your competition is on a "level playing field" with you, as mentioned in [24].

I know they don't throw the terms around, the difference between p and i is simply the way the picture is refreshed / put together. Interlace (i) skips every other line and then does the rest of the lines, while progressive (p) does every line. There is a visual difference in heavy action scenes and when things are moving around, but the overall resolution of the image is still the same between it is 1080.
