Why is it a crime?

Sounds like they are going to a lot of effort to stamp on something legal everywhere else.

MJI

Best wishes

For the future

FAIL

No mention of online pass

Second hand copies will not be able to do online as is.

MJI

Just looked on IMDB

Somebody does like it.

I have never even heard of it.

MJI
Stop

A firend is losing his job

Started in a small finance company which was bought ect ect

Been given the order of the boot by the overpaid boss

MJI

We are not

I bet that I could tell the difference with Rock music.

Anyway the high def formats were even better.

DVD-A has the low noise floor of CD and the lack of high frequency noises of vinyl.

Change to MP3 and it is a horrible quality drop.

MJI

24Bit

Were these previously available on DVD-Audio?

Now DVD-Audio and SACD were excellent formats, the way the HiFi companies wanted us to go - instead we now get compressed dynamic range CDs and bubbly sounding MP3.

last 5 music purchases are 1 CD, 1 LP, 2 DVD-A, and 1 SACD.

I have never paid to download - rather have the shiney disc

MJI

Even in cars MP3 sucks

I MP3d a few CDs and shoved onto a CD-R

128 sounds bad

higher compression sounds a bit bubbly.

All other CDs in the changer are red book either by purchase or repairing

MJI

Mobile speakers

I really hate this, I will not let my daughter do this, she has to use the ear buds.

I'm sticking with MD and Sennheiser PX100s for portable.

MJI

Plastic disc players

Just bought a burner recently it does everything from BD to CD

Quick survey

3 BD

7 DVD including a DVD burner with broken CD laser

5 CD

And we have 3 MD, 2 turntables, and a few cassette decks*.

* No working Dolby C ones though

MJI

Seen a few Sonic games

Range from good to terrible.

The old Mega Drive games were pretty good, but VERY difficult.

Dreamcast game was OK (Sonic Adventures)

Started the rot on the PS2 ones (Sonic Heroes is OK, there is another but can't remember what it was called)

There is a really naff PS3 game my boys like (Sonic Unleashed) and one part is press a button 100 times in something like 20 seconds.

MJI

I think I'd take my caravan

Got my own loo and shower, and it has a locking door.

Pew

Is it

Pew-pew-pew, pew-pew-pew

or

Pew-pew, pew-pew, pew-pew

This questions need to be abswered.

MJI

Not as far as I know

And it takes 5 to 10 minutes to reboot.

Humax is Linux

Pace is just firmware

MJI

Move

Most knockers have not tried it.

I have

I use it a LOT

Aiming is so much quicker and easier than Dualshock, picking off multiple ISA is so much easier.

I sit down, no need to leap around.

36:8, 17:1, 25:3 says Move is good.

MJI
Go

Some are good

Try the Uncharted series

MJI

Where are the slot cars?

I am SURE it said Scaletrix

Delayed due to small team

And rumoured 3D support

MJI

Does this mean quality drop?

IPlayer is not as good as BTV.

Will this be sorted?

MJI

Hence the former I think

I get the impression he had the order of the boot.

As to Apple and games no it won't happen, the market is too wide and too many players

MJI

I nearly bought another game last night

This made me check my Steam News

Found a Somerset & Dorset Railway simulator.

Only the lack of a 9F stopped me!

I hate DRM and all of that stuff but Steam just works

MJI

MINI they are not anymore

I have an Omega - quite a large car.

Recently I was near a new MINI (think it was either parked or behind at traffic lights).

Similar width, not sure on length, but the MINI was a lot taller than my large car. I reckon it was getting on for Freelander height!

Then I have also seen a 5 door one, 2 on drivers side 1 on passsenger side (stupid) , 2 a back.

MJI

I think you are right

Android PS Suite or XBL Win 7 mobile are more likely for the more serious gamer. This is why I feel PS Suite will succeed ONE simple reason - the games.

MJI

I was thinking Steam as well.

I do like a shiny BD full of Drake, but I am also happy to download of PSN or off Steam, provided I have the disk space.

Lets just say that all the PC games I play are delivered digitally via Steam.

As to consoles, they will have to open to other sellers as well. I could see Steam on PS sooner rather than later, already I have linked accounts so my Portal 2 trophies are shared.

As to Apple - no they will not - some of us like to slob out on the sofa controller in hand. Some like to jump around to fitness games, and some are happy with their gaming PC.

MJI

PS2

Are there any PS2 games you still want to play?

Has a think - a couple I never did play but we still have a PS2 anyway

MJI

Where are the mouse buttons?

It is shaped like a mouse!

As to BMW coupes - rather have 1 M at least it is proper wheel drive.

But a good condition M635 would be lovely.

MJI

Why all the Move hate?

We have a PS3 and do have Move as well.

With the right games it is great.

Sports Champions - it is the racquet.

Killzone - it is the gun.

As to expanding the PS3 - it is only really a graphics chip and low RAM against it, yes a new console would be nice, but would we spend the money when there are lots of games still to get for the current consoles.

So they produce a PS4, what would benefit the average user with it?

It would help the FPS fan with the huge PC type maps, but would it sell a console?

That said I think 2013 would be a good year to introduce newer consoles.

MJI

They do actually

Controllerless motion capture - Eye Toy, not great but it exists.

Controllers with screen - remote play with PSP, PSP rear view mirror in one game.

Move has been in developement for years - before Wii release.

Companies are allowed to have similar products from different development

Terminator

I thought about buying it

But there was no BluRay so I was saved.

And I could not be bothered to download the HDDVD rip

original game is fun

And pretty good for free

thanks Sony

Tempted to buy this for the Uncharted 3 multiplayer beta code

MJI
WTF?

Coffee!

Disgusting stuff!

MJI

PS3 has its own FPS as well as multiplatform

No problem really!

MJI
Happy

About time for MS and Sony

Proper 1920x1080p

Decent sized HDDs

Decent sized optical drives (Xbox catch PS3?)

Will be interesting to see the generation 8 consoles.

Not sure how much of an advance they will be though

MJI

My wife bought a Wii

And I agree.

3 Wiimotes, 2 nunchucks, a balance board, 2 traditional controllers.

Was rather expensive

And doesn't get that much play.

Now used mainly as an expensive set of scales.

And they eat batteries.

I reckon £20 worth minimum. seem to go flat even if not used.

This is the one thing you can say about PS3 rechargeable batteries are great

MJI
Terminator

Easily

With a black controller with a glowing red ball on the end.

Death to the ISA.

As to DNF might get Steam might get bargain bin on PS3

(Nearest thing with glowing eyes)

MJI

They wanted some easy identifiers

And another squadron got the diamond first

MJI
Mushroom

Have you seen them?

A lot of people are buyimg just for the Uncharted game

MJI
Pint

What good news

I hope he ends up on the street.

Pint time

MJI

Pity the Sea Harrier has gone

With FAA pilots they would have won convincingly

MJI

Any reason yet not to buy a Humax HDR?

I still haven't seen one

MJI

I think they both wanted to be left alone

The girl was being approached and said nothing, warned the footballer to say nothing, idiot got an injunction instead naming her and the press worked it out from that.

This is what my wife say on TV

MJI

Bollocks

Never seen any made from any type of toy brick.

My children have a large lot of the stuff - no real difference between BTR Lego or Megablocks

MJI

Phew - not another attack

Just got back online - don't want to lose it again

MJI

Buy British Bacon & Megablocks

Much better quality meat

Megablocks is as good as Lego

BTW I hate Marmite

MJI

Is it taller than ...

your house?

MJI

Not another one

Haven't they heard the internet routes around any disruptions.

MJI

Had the letter as well

The new adaptors had already been sold as well after waiting a month.

BT Vision box is on a ethernet lead to the hub

MJI

I dragged then GF to a Star Trek film

I think we saw 3 or 4 films 1 romcom 1 SciFi 1 comedy, can't remember 4th.

And I haven't been to cinema since!

BTW I married her

MJI

Emley jamming station

Actually I am not a fan of this transmitter, can someone please knock out its analogue transmissions as they jam Sutton Coldfields digital transmissions.

Get some Tropospheric ducting and say goodby to TV reception.

But I once picked up the Newcastle transmitter for a couple of I frames.

MJI
Joke

There is a song about Emley Moor and hats
