Seems fair enough. Truth be told though the PS3 was always a better console than the 360 too, given the power advantage, BD and free online stuff. Didn't stop the masses buying the 360 in equal numbers.

More's the pity

Pretty sure I've been on here longer than I actually owned my Zed for!

Best way to be. If you still liked it then parting would be horrendous, but because you've moved on emotionally then it's best to see the back of it.

Awesome!

Great, thanks. Edge are normally pretty reliable, so I'll go with that. It's also not remotely surprising, as the same publishers would've spoken to both MS and Sony about this early in the development cycle.

I do try my best

Digital Rights Management. Wot pirates don't liek, innit.

Link?

MS Points are being phased out for local currency, correct.

Get well soon fella, and don't worry as you'll soon get used to having 38D boobs once the swelling settles down Sorry if that's inappropriate, I have no idea what the op was, genuinely wish you good health mate

I cannot wait. I will be there next year, for sure.

LM is all about the cars! We used to drive down with about 20 people in 15 different cars, massive fun road trip

I can't see the 20 on their website atm, is it possibly a redundant model now? I do know for a fact that a TT ONE XL V1 model with the 4.3 screen fits in absolutely perfectly if you remove the rubber tray and cut a slot in the bottom of the cubby for the power adaptor. Based on that, I would say that none of the current range will fit unless you go for the GO 400 with the 4.3" screen.

Money, I think. Piracy isn't a major issue, it's the second hand market that's really hurting publishers.

I'd rather have lots of cars over a GT-R. I could've bought a new one for what I paid for the 911. You can put a 355, a Sag and a Maser GT in the same 'slower but preferable' category.

Must admit, I'd rather have the Zed over a GT-R. Much better looking car.

Hmmm, may look into this in October when my current GAP expires. Good to know

I think it's a fair price for what is an incredibly advanced piece of kit, providing they can make it do everything in the UK that it will in the US. If not, then it's about £80 too dear. I jest, I reckon anything around the £400 mark would've been fine for either of the two consoles. Personally I'd like to have seen MS be brave enough to do a subs + cash model, maybe £200 and then signing up to XBL for X years.

Students have internet. Even a home in the country can get dial-up, but I'm guessing that if you can't get reliable internet then a games console probably isn't going to be high on your list of things to buy. I still don't see it being an issue for 99% of prospective purchasers.

Exactly. The only issue is if you move house, or change interweb and have a break in connection, but then you could just set up a temp access point from a mobile and use the connection from that briefly if you were desperate. I don't think I know anyone who has a games console who doesn't have a permanent net connection to it.

If the machine is off, nothing. If you've not used it for say, 5 days, then when you turn it back on it'll ask you to connect to the interweb if you want to play a game. Plug your router back in, turn the wifi on, set up a share point etc and away you go. You'll still be able to play films.

Incredibly unlikely, not without having caused massive engine damage that would be instantly noticeable. Too much oil is just as bad as not enough though, in case you were wondering.
