Where, and how much?

I just traded a friend my pair of 8800GT cards for a pair of 8800GTXs.

Full case is now full.

Why would he take the GTs?

I got a new GTX laying around here, can't sell the damn thing

I pre-ordered, since it will be out in a few days.

Actually, I just canceled, because I totally forgot that I wanted to download this game from the store cause I'd like to avoid the UMD for a longer battery life. Yeah, I have my moments...

I'm interested by this, does the PSP have a Store or do you need to access it via your PS3, download the game and then somehow copy it on your PSP?

 

[thevictor390]

You can do it directly from the PSN Store over wifi, or you can do it through your PS3.

 

[killpanda]

Oh neat, I didn't knew there was a PSN Store for the PSP

He bought a GTX 285 and had no use for the 8800s. Plus, ever since I bought a 24" monitor, the 8800GT was running out of steam too fast.

I actually don't run SLI because I have 4 monitors and no space for a 3rd video card since I have a pci-express sound card.

faff me in the face

i knew CPU coolers were getting big, but that is ridiculous! look at the size of it!

last time i built a new computer, the Zalman CNPS9000 or whatever was the king of the hill.... thick end of a kilo of copper with a 92mm fan. i thought that was hefty... but this!!! my word!

Still struggling with the wheel in Shift, trying to get it to feel just right (the preset used I learned has to be the combined pedals, otherwise they behave digitally) but the card reader is sweet. Had some problems with other ones, none would work fast enough, but I transferred 4 gigs on and off the card to test it and it averaged at 27 MB/s. Recommended to anyone who needs a card reader.

I bought GT Portable today. So beautiful and unfortunately I can't use it yet

 

[NooDle]

^just how many versions of GT4 and GT5 P do you have now?

 

[killpanda]

DAMN, so jealous right now...

Ermmmm.... :?

I just lost the count :lol: No really, I've got 2 GT4's (Press kit + original PAL version), one GT4 Prologue, 3 GT5 Prologues (PAL, NTSC-J and PAL press kit), this GT PSP and my ultra rare and limited edition Nike + GT shoes. Now I'm looking at mint original GT3's and GT3 concept.

DAMN, so jealous right now...

Don't be, I've got the game but due my "firmware" I can't test it yet.

 

[thevictor390]

Apparently someone came out with a 5.55 CFW beta, but it's more or less a fake (it installs, but it just changes version numbers around and doesn't pass the checks the game makes before launching).

 

[killpanda]

So if your PSP is modded you can't play the game? Good to know.

 

[thevictor390]

Yeah, it happens pretty often with new firmware releases. Shouldn't take long for them to catch up (at least it hasn't in the past).

 

[killpanda]

I don't whether I should buy one new and avoid any problem or get one used.
