Razer Makes "PC Gaming is Not Dead" Teaser Page
We'll find out more this Friday.
Razer, a maker of many PC gaming accessories, erected a cryptic teaser page at the domain PCGamingIsNotDead.com. There it promises to bring something special on August 26th for the gamer who cherishes the open system of the PC and has ill feelings towards shoddy console ports.
What could it be? Your guess is as good as ours. Maybe it's the triumphant return of the floppy drive.

Well....its not,pc gamers know that
i would love a nice CRT video terminal
Could the surprise release of Ep.3 be somehow sponsored by Razer?
[/dream]
It's the keyboard for the new Mortal Kombat for PC + remastered MK1 to 4 with online play support.
I think we have a better chance of seeing hell freezing over then to see Ep.3
agreed with above Ep 3 comment. the day it happens is the day I win the lottery. AND hell freezes over.
BUT - could this have something to do with Deus Ex 3? same release date...and the game IS supposed to not simply be a port of the console version...DX11 and all that? Well, whatever happens on the 26.08.2011 ...it'll be my birthday!
IMHO, PC Gaming is not dead just like desktop PCs themselves will never be dead. There is a very good chance that desktop PCs will always be more capable than portable counterparts or hardware that is dedicated to some sub-portion of computer applicability.
Agree, I have 4 games on my short list, all for the PC.
SkyRim, RAGE, Deus Ex and Battlefield 3.
What about that concept computer that razor was building, the switchblade? http://www.razerzone.com/switchblade This is what I think they could introduce.
Who cares what it is...
Razer overcharges for hardware and I won't be buying this either.
I could buy a 5 dollar keyboard that would work just a good as the keyboards they make. If you buy razer you are paying for the brand name.
Someone says this every year and its never the case. I live by razer products and always will. Console kiddies will always bash on something they cant afford and get on daddies computer to complain about it on these sites.

I love my 17 button Razor Naga Epic mouse. Tell me when you find one for $5. ;p

No business overcharges for any product. Each business follows market trends and if consumers didn't like the price as a whole, razor would either lower their prices or be out of business.
Just because you don't like paying for their products doesn't mean others don't. Be happy with what you like and leave others to be happy with theirs!
razer is pretty pricey, but the products that i buy from them (for hardcore gaming) i couldn't find anywhere else.
Ex:
http://store.razerzone.com/store/r [...] .169418900
and
http://store.razerzone.com/store/r [...] d.53491100
i know Belkin used to make a nostromo but couldn't find it in any of the stores near me. I could not play an mmo without the naga. It's life changing.
Well, I am a PC gamer, and I don't think that PCGaming is dead, actually i think it is rising high to the sky....
That image reminds me of a Kaypro 4

Most enlightened people know PC gaming isn't dead at all - Sales are up on a year by year basis. Its only the small minded people who don't understand the PC sales in the "charts" don't include the evolved pc way of game distribution - Steam and the like.
The retail charts only includes the ancient disc sales made in retail that only have 20-30% of the PC sales now according to most experts. Its a shame that Steam won't release numbers and same with the publishers but then they would have a hard time defending the frankly poor made console ports!
I wish they'd make a ergonomic gaming keyboard with backlight. Some of us old fogies need the ergonomic for our old wrists and bones, while we are working, and there's plenty of typing when you're playing games too.
Bring back Zip drives!
That keyboard looks a LOT like a COMMODORE 64.

Ever heard of Apple?
PC Gaming is raising now.. how could it be dead? just a bunch of lazy-greedy-and-lack-innovation game developers that told pc gaming were dead. PC Gaming is on the way moving on to another phase, DX11. Just wait until it get matured, and you'll see amazing gameplay innovations.
all i can say is : battlefield 3
the pc gaming is raising again !
until 2014-1015 wich seems the to be the timeframe of the next gen consoles from m$ and sony the new engine dx11 and maby 12 will crush the consoles , and pc gaming is going to be more powerfull than it ever was. Long live pc gaming , long live OPEN SYSTEM !

actually, I was thinking the same thing as soon as I saw the console. First thing that came to mind
Ever heard of Apple?
Yes, apple might be expensive, but they are not overcharging for their products. So long as people want to buy it for the price that is put out it isn't over charging. You can NEVER overcharge for a luxury item.
PC gaming is alive and well, thank you. We PC gamers will always be around -- as a minority, sure -- but around nonetheless.
Just ordered a copy of "Deus Ex: Human Revolution" and a few other older titles today -- can't wait to play them.
Sales of PC titles are gravy to the developers, even if the bulk of their revenue comes from the consoles. So, as long as the money is flowing from PC gamers, we will still see titles released on the platform.
I'm guessing a new keyboard/mouse with some game logo on it. That's basically all that Razer do.

I think you can. $2500 for something you can get anywhere else from another major maker for $500 less or more if you built it yourself.
It's like paying sticker price for a Caddy, only an idiot does that.
You know what's funny. On the main page on Toms, there is also a headline "Demise of Game Consoles is Greatly Exaggerated". So is it all gaming dead? Or is it just a bunch of lies.

They are not over charging though. They set a price, if it was to expensive for the consumer they would lower the price. YOU might not want to spend the money but someone else does. Should i think that you are an idiot for going to a restaurant when going to a grocery store and then cooking it at home? The way I see it you can only overcharge things that are required as fundamental basics for human servival. Everything else is a LUXURY and you cannot overcharge that.

Anyone that considers Apple to not be overpriced and a "luxury" brand, is most likely an elitist moron who buys a product solely on marketing. If you want to pay more for less be my guest.
