Yeh, wot else is it supposed to use?

I always thought that the D200 was already running on SD-Cards - doesn't matter in the end anyway.

The discs have the information on them when they come out of the line, they are not written later. One DVD every 2.1 seconds.

Pros like CF cards because all the current pro bodies use them. I suspect the next round of pro bodies will be SD + CF.

Logitech G25 (to go with my newly acquired PS3)

http://prohardver.hu/pics/newsx/2006-05/15541_logitech_g25.jpg

I've just realised how much I've spent in the past month. I had £800. Spent £160 on an iPod. £425 on a PS3. And now £160 on this. £745 in one month! Well, I suppose its gotta go somewhere, may as well as be technology. I love it. images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

That is one great kit, how and where do you place the shifter, is it flat bottomed?

Jacobfox · March 28th, 2007, 06:16 AM

And what games do you use it on? Are you using it for PS2 racers, b/c I don't know of any decent PS3 racers (we all know motorstorm doesn't count).

My new toy:
"The Complete Seed"

hahaha, just realised that the bag isn't exactly a technological item. However, there is a new toy that's about 1 week old that I've neglected to mention.
A 250GB LaCie external hard drive. Top Gear started taking up too much room and now I have room for Futurama!

Not so much a new toy, more a new use for a neglected, sitting-in-a-corner toy. Finally got around to getting XboxMediaCenter loaded up on the Xbox (yeah I know it's been around for a long time). I'm a very happy boy images/smilies/biggrin.gif

TV show info, episode guides, Movie plot, cast, directors, etc is all downloaded from the net. It's a sweet thing.

Now I just need to get up in the roof and run the network cable...

watto · March 29th, 2007, 01:51 PM

^So, do you move that from your computer onto the XBox or does it d/l straight to the machine?? Bad sentence, the movies/tv show etc etc I mean.

Does this also act as a sort of digital recorder for tv shows so you can watch them on tv thru the XBox later on??

matt2000 · March 29th, 2007, 01:56 PM

yeah i have never seen that before either. will it work with a non-media centre PC?

Either way works - you can FTP the files to your Xbox (but you'd need to upgrade the hdd - it's a whopping 10gig), or access a network share on a pc (which is how mine is). Those movies are a mix of xvid rips (Eddie Murphy: Raw), & full ISOs I ripped off the DVDs - you basically tell it what the content is and then grabs the info from the net (including things like Genre, Cast, Director, Year etc) and puts in into the Library. It does the same thing with the TV shows & music, so you can browse through your Libraries by all those categories.

The only 'manual' thing I've done is downloaded those icons for the TV shows myself.

Not quite - the Xbox can't do that (not that I'm aware of anyway - it doesn't have any inputs) - but my next step is to get a digital TV card for the TV, so record on the pc and play back through the Xbox.
