  1. Sony's moved over to dual SD/MS for its camereas and camcorders - I wouldn't be surprised if this had an SD slot and a MS slot. Also, there is space on the game cards for game DLC/patches, so it would only be entirely downloaded games on your own memory cards.
  2. Just dropped my phone in the shower and have a massive crack right across the middle of the screen :(

      I think it is just the 'digitiser screen' that is broken. Looks like I could get one for ~£20.

      I'm still confused why your phone was in the shower... sometimes I'll put mine on the shelving right beside the shower if I'm expecting a call, but never IN the shower...

      It was in a sandwich bag (for waterproofing), and I was listening to music - if it is outside the shower I cannot hear it. I do it fairly often and this is the first time I had a problem.

  3. Is an upgrade from 1600*900 to 1920*1080 on a laptop worth £280?

      I've used the free version and found it's sufficient at making 3D. (Though all the downsides of anaglyph 3D). It does knock your framerate a bit so you'll be on older titles. Not sure if I'd pay £280 extra for the privilege though.

      I know logically I probably shouldn't get it, but... I find it hard to resist over-speccing on tech products.

      I'd say no and spend the £280 on just filling it chock full of games. You'd get much more out of them then a few more lines on the display n 3D.

  4. Has anyone read la noire: the collected stories it expands on the stories/characters in the books. I'm waiting for the game to drop in price before I get it, so won't be getting the book yet either, but am wondering if it is worthwhile. I've never read game related fictoin before. edit: Never mind it's not out until 6 June.
  5. I would love to install 7 on my laptop but I kind of want it to die so I can get a new one. If I did install it on this laptop and it then died. would I be able to reuse the key on, e.g. a self-built desktop? I'd only be using on one computer at a time, but I don't know if you have to 'deactivate' the old computer? It's a retail not OEM copy if that makes a difference.
  6. I just watched La Regle du Jeu, which is supposed to be one of the greatest films ever made. I must be decidedly uncultured as I found it quite ridiculous and the actors shrill and OTT. Not quite sure what I wasn't getting about it.
  7. I still have my copy of Windows 7 sealed in its box... Maybe 8 will be out before I ever get around to cracking it open.
  8. So you possibly dislike Alex Kingston as much/more than the character?
  9. How come you don't like River Song?
  10. I'm watching Dan In Real Life as it's on TV again. I really like it but there seems to be quite divided opinion over it. I may get it on DVD as it's one I enjoy rewatching, which I don't with a lot of films.
  11. it also includes $10 off Skyrm so is quite good value. Since the game is so old it is only the manufacturing costs of the package they are covering, and I guess they are hoping people will buy this instead of second hand so they should do well enough out of it.
  12. Congratulations on getting it out - a lot of talk doesn't always turn into action so even if there are issues to iron out it's getting the first one out that is the big deal, after that I'm sure the creases will just drop out.
  13. i think I need to play portal one of these days because when I clicked that link the first thing I thought was that it was Michael Jackson.
  14. thanks, Dean. I guess I didn't notice that cos I hate programs not being maximised. Dunno, if I want to install another browser though it does look interesting.
  15. I use the beta, but I don't have the disappearing bar? Also, since your minimise and x buttons are on a separate line to the tabs whereas mine are on the same line then overall you;re not actually saving any space. I'm on 12.0.742.60 beta-m
  16. I've bought about three or four SNESes, non of which have worked so pretty much gave up on that. Same with NESes.

      Well Beefy, he did get half of it right. ;D

      Read his justifications Beefy. Always the part that's most worth it with Brooker. The guy's like the Hunter S. Thompson of game reviews (I'm forgetting about half of the RPS team for now)

  17. The NGP will be using flash cards as the game medium (and I'm sure downloadable too).
  18. It's actually made by Nintendo.
  19. do you think you'd enjoy replaying it now you know how to solve the cases?
  20. their solution doesn't exactly sound like it is a simple problem of overheating from playing too long saying you should delete caches/game data and create new users it's not exactly 'turn it off for a bit'
  21. I don't think it is the bar - that provides a nice break between the header(?) and the content, it's the actual box that doesn't stick out. Maybe you expect a text box to be white? I think that's wht it doesn't jump out at you as it;s the same colour as the bar.
  22. but roockstar have admitted that it is a fault and are working on a patch. Unless the patch flashes a popup saying you've played enough for one day then it is a genuine fault.
  23. Anyone having any trouble with this game making their console overheat? Maybe something to be careful of if your console is already on its last legs.
