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?)

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
