    More then likely it's going to be a Driver Issue again, I'd imagine, especially when you're talking single digits. But for the most part I think the biggest difference is the 3d thingy, especially with the R3 making it's Largest Debut this week.

    Meh, pretty much to be expected.

    You get what you pay for, unfortunately the r3 didn't come with it.
