The poster over priced both bits of kit and after a quick look at the usual stores those prices don't seem to be way off for the majority of places although both players can be found cheaper. The Tosh is available online for £165 + free disc, it's only Apollo 13 so I wouldn't get too excited...

:rolleyes: .....

;)

Same thing here - returned a faulty video card, came back a week later no fault found, was clearly dead, went back again, returned to manufacturer and took 5 weeks to replace. So 6 weeks total with no video card and two lots of postage costs. It may be all that's required by law but it's not...

My 2c is Sony reckon the PS3 will sell to loyal Playstation fans because it's the next playstation no matter what it does or how much it costs (not to mention the strength of the brand, little jonny will want a playstation for christmas, although if gamers get shafted this time they may not be...

Begining to think i'll wait. I had planned on doing an autumn upgrade of TV and Sky + box to HD. So far there seems to be more than a few problems, high prices whilst the people on the bleeding edge are queuing up to pay and some distinct issues on Sky with the bit rates being poor as more and...

If it supports 240v it should be fine - just needs a UK plug on the power cable

The media center extension functionality doesn't work in Beta 2. It's being tested now and will be in the next main build.

It's nothing to do with being "vista compatible". Vista runs just fine with any screen. If you want to view the HD content the movie companies are going to protect with HDCP then you will have to use HDCP compatible equipment. Vista is just one bit of that. If anything it's Vista having to...

Companies just seem to regard suing Microsoft as a valid business plan... :rolleyes: Seems they can't win sometimes, include save as PDF and they get sued for anti competative practises. Use thier own format XPS(?) and they'll get accused of not sticking to industry standards.. Still...

Friend of mine had his delivered yesterday - I have to say it's an awesome looking piece of kit.....

The activation servers are just somewhat overwhelmed at the moment as the world and his wife (world and her husband?) are trying to activtae atm. Should be back to normal any time now....

Agreed. Just seems strange that you're seen as racist/chav/thick if you chose to though...

And what pray tell are you doing to rebalance the scales? Are you off to live in one of those other countries donating your skills to put things right and help them create a better quality of life for their citizens? Or are you just happy to take all the advantages and comforts the UK has to...

Never thought the day would come I agreed with DD but there it is... There seems to be two things at the moment. One is it's "trendy" to brand anyone with any pride in being English as "racist/ill informed/chav/thug". The other is it's seen as "trendy" by some to assert how cool they are by...

Tend to agree with lots of the posts here. Whilst the PS3 will no doubt be an awesome console (which to be fair so is the 360, you just choose which variation on a theme you prefer) I can't help but think Sony have shot themselves in the foot by trying to force Blu-Ray on people via the PS3...

Initialy it used to be BBS for me which were direct dial ups (one or two I used even had 3 modems so could support simultaneous users). Fondly remember a lOndon based BBS called "Gnome at home" Used Prestel type graphics and connected at 1200/75 :D For the internet "proper" it was compuserve...

Meanwhile Microsoft have ben quietly aquiring companies products and more importantly patents... One of these days MS is going to wheel out the IP/code/patents they own that other companies have been using in thier own products and then the fun starts ;) MS may not be perfect by any...

Good grief that's expensive - can you imagine a parent having to try to spend that amount of a signle christmas present for little Timmy?!?!?! 360 will be down to something around £225 for the premium by then so i say scrap the PS3 and buy a 360 premium AND a Wii and spend the change on...

To use a phrase used by Easyrider and Eximonisosio earlier in the thread, apparently to prove a point... "Quoted for truth!" :D :D :D
