I've had both ATI and nVidia cards and had problems with both

The ATI had constant overheating issues and artefacts, etc, the nVidia one always forgot where it's drivers were at random intervals and default to 640x480x16 color mode

I've had enough of taping up my broken xbox 360 mic

, so i bought these: http://scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=794250

3.5mm FTW

I was a bit unsure of the removable mic, but that piece of plastic keeps it from rotating

Woke up this morning and this was waiting for me

CyberMonkey · August 28th, 2008, 02:52 PM

Blayde · August 28th, 2008, 02:54 PM

Initial D?

Viper007Bond · August 28th, 2008, 03:10 PM

Yes! It's the Initial D game for the PS3. It's based on the Arcade version 4 and it kicks ass. If what you are looking for is a purely arcade - no complications game, that's the one for you. And much better if you like the TV series. I got the Asian version which has an English manual (very helpful specially knowing that the game won't be released in the western countries) but unfortunately hasn't got Online play which the Japanese version has (but no Eng. manual). All thanks to the PS3 which is region free!

And if you ad a wheel in the mix I can assure you it's exactly the same experience you get from playing with the Arcade version. I'm having more fun than what I expected. And everything for just 30€. God I love eBay!

Unlike the Blu Ray DVDs that it uses though... right?

Yeas and No because there are cases of Blu-Ray movies which are region free. But mostly they are region locked unfortunately.

otispunkmeyer · August 28th, 2008, 05:31 PM

i just aquired one of these!

1.6ghz atom cpu, 512mb ram, 8gb SSD, 8.9inch display, great kb and it has 2 memory card slots.... a multi-card reader and a straight SD which is intended to be used for boosting storage space with the new SD HC cards. apparently you just plug an SD card in and the custom Linpus OS just integrates it with the existing memory to form one large lump.

jus got VLC installed on it so i can watch all the content i acquire via various internet means

oh yeah, it cost £199 which was actually cheaper than nearly all places on line.plus most places i see, the blue one is around £20 more than the white one. PC world had these onsale for £50 off RRP, so i got it for £199

smib · August 28th, 2008, 05:45 PM

I want one of those so badly.

^Wait, when did you move to toronto?
EDIT: You better not be listening to Christina Aguilera.

Shawn · August 28th, 2008, 09:43 PM

That song makes me so fucking angry... all she says is Candyman hey hey over and over again. And Telus sucks.

Is that enough negativity for you? Congrats though, and yeah, when did you move to the flatlands of Ontario?

I just pulled that pic off the web, I would never listen to that shit.

I moved to Toronto on Monday, to go to Humber, which is considered the best music school in the country. So far its a great city, I am not looking forward to the winters. Where are some good places to eat, I live in Etobicoke

Shawn · August 28th, 2008, 10:52 PM

Where you on the Island before? I forget... but I guess Toronto is a much better city than small town BC.

I think you'll get used to the winters. My friends who went to Ontario/Quebec for school didn't complain much.

IceBone · August 28th, 2008, 11:12 PM

My softbox will arrive on friday or saturday (the days i'm out), but that's a lot better news than the initial ETA of 2 weeks!

Lengthy review with plenty of comparison pics to come.
