woofmarkdog - I've tried being nice to you - but just FOOK off would you?


No irony, no sarcasm, no whimsy - just plain old "fook off and be a twonk somewhere else!"


ratty: a few choices at HMV


here


but I'm sure if you look around you will find others. The arcade model has the benefit of being a newer revision hardware with a much better reliability


the extra 120GB of the elite will only be useful if you download a LOT of films and install a LOT of games at the same time

I just picked up a brand spanking new Elite specifically for the release of Resi 5. If you go through Littlewoods Direct you can pick it up for 160quid(with an online voucher). The matt black finish looks pretty classy too and the oft reported noisy drive has been toned down to a dull roar now. Try it, you might like it.
Its a great entertainment platform but the hardware is unreliable, everybody I know who have had one for a couple of years have suffered the red ring of doom! I'm not saying I don't rate it because I do but Microdross have shot themselves in the foot. it may deter people from buying their next gen console I will certainly think twice about it.

Pretty much every xbox owner i know has had a RRoD, but only one more than once. Mine must be getting on for 4 years old now, still working fine, not bad for any piece of complex consumer electronics frankly.


Yeah it's noisy, but it's not terrible if you're playing a game with your surround sound on, but it's pretty useless as a dvd player. Elite is supposed to be quieter.


I've been a happy 360 owner (or should that be pwner?)

    • Niko 07818 607 583 has been doing jobs for us for several years, he is reliable, always there for us, highly recommended! 
    • I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.
    • There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.
    • They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
