I want the RT version. But not for that price.

It'll be cheaper to get it shipped from the US.

Yeah, when I saw they sold them I was curious to have a look, but the markup is horrible.

I'll get one soon enough so I can have a play with it but i haven't the time atm. From what I hear it'll have to be jailbroken to run un-signed code, not sure if that's a surface thing or a Win8 tablet thing. It's trivial to JB them though and MS said they aren't going to patch and that the JBer did a good job and that they don't consider it an exploit but rather a "feature".

Anyone got one/jb'd it yet?

lol - i'm sure Sigmund Freud would say something about that but don't feel bad I get that all the time. You'd think my avatard would be something entirely inappropriate if that actually were my alias...

He's not the only one who thought there was an Extra R in your name.

the avatar did make more sense when I realised the correct spelling.

But that primate in your picture - he has got his rape face on....

Or would your avatar be even more appropriate. Pretty sure that if an ape wanted to rip you a new one you wouldn't have a choice :P

Microsoft Believes Peripherals Are Old News
Russ Pitts | 13 March 2010 3:16 pm

Citing the videogame industry's birth in commercial arcades, Microsoft's Eric Havir suggests Surface may be just getting started taking over the game industry. Already installed in a number of venues around the world, including the Palms casino in Las Vegas, Surface allows users to play by touch, using off-the-shelf processor and infrared camera technology. In addition to casinos, the Surface is landing in educational institutions and in hospitals, helping victims of head trauma and other injuries regain motor control through gaming.

According to Microsoft's Surface Game team lead, Gretchen Richter de Medeiros, gaming accessories and controllers are the biggest "barrier to entry" for a large potential gaming audience.

The 'barrier to entry' is the fact you are a huge, multi-million dollar heartless machine
