Re: Possibly Selling 1991 Uk MR2 Coupe (68k on clock)

I hope she's got a trader's licence. Looking at the number of cars she's flogging (and what a load of rubbish about each one!) I bet HMRC would be very, very interested ;)

Re: bypass ps3 3.21 fw and connect to psn

Sony have already addressed the issue of the retailers, and are refusing to accept liability. It's a stupid situation. I can see why hacking the iPhone was useful, but the PS3 is purely a dickwaving exercise, and it's cost the users. GeoHot is likely to avoid the PS3 scene entirely, having accomplis...

Re: bypass ps3 3.21 fw and connect to psn

DNS/Proxy is no longer working. Sony are really pushing me to consider ditching the console when the games require updates to play - I've got over £300 of Singstar tracks and so forth, which I now won't be able to add to.

Really unimpressed with "GeoHot", and equally unimpressed with Sony.

Re: PS3 mouse and keyboard

I'm getting a Logitech keyboard which has a trackpad built in; however Sony have deleted OtherOS support (as yet I'm refusing to update the console, and have called Sony's PR and UK marketing people to discuss this). I'll do a mini review, but I don't have MWII or anything which supports it - I want...

DSi XL

Anyone else getting one? My gf nicked my DS Lite so I wanted for these to come out. Went for wine red, though I'm thinking I might ask for a brown one instead. Is this the point where I regret no longer having a Wii, or are they still very separate machines?

Re: Game Console

I just bought a new Xbox - my old Elite went to my ex, so I got a new "Jasper" model cheap in Sainsbury's. What a flaming disaster Xbox Live is. Getting the games/profiles from one to another was a nightmare, incomplete and the whole lot was just infuriating; I ended up borrowing a transfe...

Re: PlayStation 3 'hacked' by iPhone cracker!

It probably doesn't work well enough. If a homebrew runs at 80% and drops 50% of the available games, homebrew people go "meh, it's a proof of concept". Consumers get a little bit shirty. Also, PS2 games are not exactly tiny. DVD vs. CD sized downloads... Historically expansions don't sell...

Now then, how's he going to manage to bring PS2 emulation back for those PS3s that don't have the PS2 GPU hardware? :clap: #-o :^o Presumably by allowing homebrew to run on it whilst accessing the other hardware, and then running an emulator. I don't think that the Linux for it can access the graph...

That twirly thing you control your car with is a tad older and still seems to work ;)

I prefer 360 controllers for driving, and PS3 controllers for FPS.

Re: 2day old ps3 slim £150, shall i buy it?what are they worth?

My PS3 is now coming on for 3 years old I think (when did they come out, March 2007?) and is still working perfectly - it's on an awful lot of the time as I forget to switch it off, it's used for Play TV as well as games and movies... It's in a well ventilated space, and I make a point of vacuuming ...

Re: This I believe is far to much to replace a clutch..

I just don't agree with this naming and shaming attitude, Toyota will charge more than that i bet so maybe they should be shamed too? Yet people still use them without complaining about the price. Toyota quoted me £358 with an "OEM" type clutch (they apparently have a lower cost parts ran...

Re: Matty...prepare to wet yourself....

Hopefully the gameplay hasn't changed too much and it's an extension of the story. I really enjoyed Bioshock (though I haven't actually done the very last bit yet, been too busy to sit and focus on it :( ).

Re: MR2 Rev2 (Rev3 engine) T-Bar Turbo

I really like that. Yellow really suits the T-bar.

I'd fix it before selling - a rack can't be that expensive? GTS T-bars seem to still fetch good money, whereas projects are just getting ignored/lowball attention if this forum is any guide.
