@obidamnkenobi: They sell you a phone on a contract for 2 years they should plan to support the phone with timely updates for at least that long for the $199+ models.

Great software that actually gets updated in a timely manner. There have been plenty of great Android phones that are stuck on old versions of Android longer than they should or never get updated at all. It shouldn't be the community's responsibility to clean up the messes handset manufacturers leave as far as software goes. The original Galaxy S series of phones in the US is a great example of ...

You have some defective RAM or something somewhere in your rig. My rig is almost exactly the same as yours and all of those games run smooth as butter maxed out.

I would just use the apple stuff or at the very least just the keyboard since its the exact same as the one thats on your notebook so the muscle memory is already there. If you don't like the magic mouse you could try something from logitech.

Check a site like TigerDirect.com to see if they have any bundle deals. I've build computers on the cheap with them before.

@HeadNodShy: the regular nightly i don't think works. I used the one linked on that page and had to disable auto updates to keep gamepad support in.
