unsuspecting customers see the pretty red lighting and that its endorsed by a pro gamer, think it must be good and worth the price.

hey dont be trying to put words in my mouth, making it appear i said what you fixed

lemonadesoda · Jun 5, 2009

If this was a "fatal1ty" branded item, then is should have a "1" or "fatal1ty" as the brand marking and NOT an "X".

Is there a fatal f1oor in their marketing? LOL :roll:

ROFL. just noticed that's not even a real picture, but a 3D render. pathetic.

Too true, if the bracket wasnt a dead give away, the untextured excessive PCB reflection of the HS is :roll:

Mussels said:
sigh.

sad part is when i asked OCZ if the fatality name sold things, they confirmed it did. it outsold their identical, non fatality product by a decent margin, despite the higher price.

unfortunately, this would be very true. but what do you expect, even here on oz you know how it is, macs popular and anything flashy sells weather its a POS or not it sells if the sheep think its good. At least there are a bunch of us aussies not to buy into this trend and actually get good hardware for good pricing.

Mussels · Jun 5, 2009

yeah the PCB and memory chips look real - the heatsink and bracket sure dont.

qwerty_lesh · Jun 5, 2009

You ever see a PCB that reflective and have the reflection's loose their textures? :laugh:

Mussels · Jun 5, 2009

it looks to me like they got a bare PCB, and shooped a bracket and heatsink on. you can even see a blurry outline around the black retention plastic, over one of the memory chips.

Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel, the world’s best known PC gamer

Its amaizing what TV can do

^ thanks. OK.

Perhaps I need to start a wiki page on that German kid. LOL. He could brand endorse robust laptops and peripherals like keyboards! LOL. The he could be the most famous PC gamer.

Funny really, the phrase "world's most famous" when really it should be world's most promoted, and now, consequently, perhaps arguably the most well know name in PC gaming

Funny though as it's always made me NOT buy the stuff... Maybe thats what helped ABit to go bump ?..

Don't really dislike the guy just this kind of marketing just don't work for me..

Good Idea: Invent something to accelerate transmission of data between Hard Drive and CPU/RAM.

Bad Idea: Sell it at the same price of an entire computer.

"The ioXtreme supercharges high-end PCs and workstations. I predict this technology will fundamentally change the way software is designed, allowing developers to create a new class of applications that seamlessly handle massive amounts of data," Fatal1ty said. “Imagine playing the most intense game, working on complex 3-D graphics, manipulating massive files, ripping multiple DVDs and installing a new application -- all simultaneously. The technology is crazy and works at the speed I need.”

Anyone wonder how long it took Wendel to remember all this?

no, but i'd pay to see wendel win a game tournament while ripping DVD's and doing 3D rendering. (and then get arrested for ripping DVD's)

When installing a new application you shouldn't be doing all of that at once. Right?

Exactly. And now you know what level of technical skill Mr. Fatality has.

All I read in this thread is a bunch of player hating. (Pun intended).

WarEagleAU · Jun 5, 2009

that is about lets see 800 bucks or more cheaper than what was reviewed in both CPU and Maximum PC magazine. What sucks about that drive though is its not bootable, meaning you cannot load windows onto it (or any OS).

Really? I'm slightly dumbfounded as to why they would try to release one that wasn't bootable, and at a price roughly equal to six Vertex 30GB drives (time to get a water block on that southbridge

)

relax

why are you guys hating on Fatality. i am not a fan of his and have never seen his gameplay. I am pretty damn good at FPS myself matter of fact

I have never bought the overpriced HW. but you should recognize that he is adept at business otherwise all of the partnerships that he has had with many companies would have never happened. both parties are clearly making money

i like money and wish i could have what he has going for him

Nobody cares if your puns were intended.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Back on topic, I'd love to have a system with a high-end SSD for OS and a highend Fusion-IO drive for DATA (the PCIE based units have better bandwidth / latency than SATA 2 IIRC)

Unfortunately I can't afford it; and Fatal1ty certainly doesn't make things better and cheaper...
I wonder what corners they cut to get their price cheaper and add Fatal1ty?

I doubt he's adept at business, just a guy who played a lot of games and miraculously made a fortune of it.
