Extra Bait 2007-03-27 20:16:00 We're playing catchup at the moment, so bear with us. We're working on a number of new things for Gamer Bait which we hope you'll enjoy...the downside being that it leaves less time for us to write. Here's some of the latest news from the past week; stay tuned!A Plea for Folding@Home on Xbox 360Now that PS3 owners can use their consoles for folding, a call has gone out for similar support from Microsoft on their console. For those of you who have no clue as to what I'm referring to, Folding@Home is a distributed computing project managed by Stanford University's chemistry department. It was launched six and a half years ago, it's aim being that of simulating protein folding (and misfolding) in order to better to understand many serious ailments such as cancer, Alzheimer's, and other diseas Read more:Extra
Gates burns the PS3 2007-03-24 12:48:00 This is a pretty entertaining video, even though it's in French. Since the PS3 had it's big launch in Europe recently, Microsfoft desided they will make it even harder for Sony to go about their business. So what they did is plaster a huge Xbox 360 logo on a boat, and passed that boat in front of the people who were lined up for the PS3 release. Take a look.

Review: KINYO KY-90 Pulsating Headphones 2007-03-23 15:52:00 For the last several days I have been testing a new unit of pulsating headphones from a small company called Kinyo. This is the first time I have come across this company, however, their site displays a wide range of products. The reason these headphones caught my eye is because of their "pulsating feature".These headphones are made up of plastic which unfortunately has some very rough edges. This makes the swivel of the individual earpieces less than stellar. The construction is average, although it could be definitely improved by hiding some of the little screws that hold them together. As for comfort I cant say much either, you always know that your wearing some big plastic thing on your head. They could have at least put some padding under the joining arc, so if you have long hair it c Read more:Headphones
Review: Targus Gerney Notebook Backpack 2007-03-20 21:29:00 Several days ago I got my hands on this backpack made by Targus
. You can typically get this for about $39.99 in store, or perhaps a bit cheaper online. Targus products have always been high-quality merchandise, and this is no exception. All the materials used feel very durable to the touch and appear to be able to stand the test of time. First, let's take a look at its appearance. The black and orange colors of the material go very well together. Nothing is done in excess; even the shiny look in the front doesnt appear to be out of place. Its also not as mundane as its competitors which usually tend to go with black.As for comfort, it's really hard to say that Targus put anything "extra" in here. The padding on the straps is pretty firm, and might cause some discomfort if carried for exten Read more:Notebook

Xbox Zephyr Renamed the 360 Elite 2007-03-20 18:41:00 According to the April issue of Game Informer magazine, the Xbox
Zephyr isn't the Zephyr any more: it's the Xbox 360 Elite
. Yeah, we know how that sounds, being April and all, but Matt Helgeson (senior editor at Game Informer) has told Kotaku that the story is, in fact, genuine. It is now slated for a late April release, as opposed to May 1st, as was previously predicted. The Elite will be a limited-edition unit, and once they sell out, a white version will begin replacing the Premium model on store shelves (possibly late summer or fall). It'll cost $479 and sport the 120GB hard drive, HDMI port, and a bundled HDMI cable. And be really sweet. That's a technical term we use in the gaming industry.- GlockSources 1, 2, 3, and 4

Extra Bait 2007-03-19 18:19:00 First off, thanks a ton to nubulicious for handling the double load from Thursday through Sunday this past week(end), as I was out of town during that period of time.
