neo Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 hi all, in todays news of the world newspaper there's a voucher that gets you 20% off all consoles from asda supermarket. so that makes a psp £144 instead of £180 and a xbox360 £224 instead of £280 doesn't mention if that includes games in the offer tho guess i'll be spending a few quid today then cheers Neo Quote
Guest prescience Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 not even an offer like this would tempt me into an Asda store.. my wife does the shopping Quote
neo Posted July 30, 2006 Author Posted July 30, 2006 am now a owner of a white psp value pack for £143.97, cheaper than importing one too after the added vat n duty Quote
Removed Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 nice one Neo, although that money could have gone towards something for the Z Quote
Baptist Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Good value. Cant spend all your cash on your car. Quote
Removed Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Good value. Cant spend all your cash on your car. true, but neo is a PC enthusiast, i thought it'd be enough for him to play proper games! but no, he wants to play games on the go too Quote
Chesterfield Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Soooooo tempting. xbox 360 and pgr3 or Call of Duty 2. Mmmmmmmm Quote
Baptist Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 I bought a PSP, its cool, but im really disapointed with the lack of quality games out for it. 360 gets a good bashing though, superb. Quote
Removed Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 I'm a PC fan, and tbh considering the time I spend playing games on it (not nearly as much as I'd love to!) despite being tempted to buy a console, I always managed to refrain myself due to the little use I'd have for it Quote
Baptist Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Know what you mean, i just like the plug and play of the consoles, and the new Xbox live really is superb. Quote
neo Posted July 31, 2006 Author Posted July 31, 2006 looks like the vouchers were only in the papers over the weekend got burnout legends for the psp, very good looking and plays very quick like the console version also ordered midmay extended play from play.com - 21 retro games like spyhunter and newish games such as mortal kombat 1 (one of my fav arcade games ) for only £11.99 (on offer) also if someone is running a open wireless network you can surf the net with the psp while on the move Quote
leebar Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Soooooo tempting. xbox 360 and pgr3 or Call of Duty 2. Mmmmmmmm Not to mention Forza Motorsport 2 due out later this year with, great 350 coverage in the trailer http://uk.media.xbox360.ign.com/media/743/743956/vids_1.html Quote
neo Posted July 31, 2006 Author Posted July 31, 2006 yeah really tempted by the xbox 360 but gonna wait a little while longer till i get a 32" lcd telly to really show it off as the games just don't look that hot on a bog standard telly Quote
neo Posted July 31, 2006 Author Posted July 31, 2006 Soooooo tempting. xbox 360 and pgr3 or Call of Duty 2. Mmmmmmmm call of duty 2 looks just as good on my pc plus i prefer to play FPS with a keyboard n mouse as i find the joypad doesn't work as well Quote
neo Posted July 31, 2006 Author Posted July 31, 2006 nice size screen, think 37" is a little bit big for my small room Quote
Chesterfield Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Pah! - 37 - Ive got a 42 downstairs. And for the proper jumps when playing Doom3, or motion sickness in PGR, you cant beat the 84" upstairs. But then again Im a sad film and game geek with a belly to prove it. I think I will be getting a new latop, as I too like FPS games on the PC with a mouse - I also like the strategy games too, which never quite work on a console. But an xbox 360 keeps shouting at me Quote
leebar Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Pah! - 37 - Ive got a 42 downstairs. And for the proper jumps when playing Doom3, or motion sickness in PGR, you cant beat the 84" upstairs. Not jealous, not jealous, not jealous!! No............ I am Quote
Chesterfield Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Its actually quite cheap to do, in fact it cost less than HALF that of the plasma. (total cost for the projector and screen was less than £900) I do want a HD projector, but they are VERY expensive! LOL. I must stay away from this thread though, otherwise Ill be sucked into buying a 360. Which given that I still havent honoured the IOU for the missus' birthday will probably not go down too well.

M13KYF Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 My mate has got a HD projector and playing the Xbox360 on it is awesome especially with ther surround sound. Projection size is about 12ft wide Quote
Wa_Wa Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 A friend of mine has something similar. PGR3 rocks big time on that setup! Just got to have a word with the missus about getting one myself... ...plus a bigger house to fit it all in! Quote

leebar Posted August 2, 2006 Posted August 2, 2006 Something for us all to aspire to http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/25/newest-worlds-largest-hdtv-at-tokyo-racetrack/ B) Quote
