Game were selling them cheap about a month ago (less than half price - still too much really)


Even with one you would really want to be wired.. much faster connection - important for online play and streaming videos. (Less so for general downloading/browsing to be fair)


I have one and you can have it if you like - I'm going wired again

Yeah, new resi not as scary as the nerve shredding number 4 and the initial onslaught of nasty baddies harassing me before I'd even caught my breath(and get to grips with the initially baffling control setup)left me so traumatised I've left it 5 days before trying again. Picked it up again today and sure enough the controls start to make sense and are actually very intuitive. Superb piece of gaming. As for Bioshock, it was one of my alltime gaming highlights...although I did quit right at the death. I have a habit of not completing games though so its scarcely a criticism. I dont hold out much hope for the film however. Mortal Combat starring Kylie anyone?

Went to a trade premiere of the SF movie, the money men from Capcom were not happy about a cinema full of gaming journo's and cool hunters throwing popcorn at the screen in hysterics...


Forbidden Siren (not sure if it ever came out in English), now that's how to do a movie adaptation of a game! Thought the first RE movie held its own too, have yet to see any of its sequels though.

Ah, you mean the anime? The one they censored over here? It wasn't bad, never bothered to check out the TV series though, seemed a bit too influenced by the Udon school of things for me. Agreed on the western soundtrack, along with the custom soundtrack for Cyber City Oedo, its the only other replacement of the Japanese OST that was an improvement.

Bah - stop hijacking my thread. ;)


OK, you can get hold of a network cable for the 360 for about 10 quid which would be long enough to reach my box from my router. Now it's just a case of where the hell do I route the thing? I am thinking about a hole in the wall! Which might do the trick!


God know why this thing does not come with wireless!!!

I'd definitely recommend getting an X Box. Great fun. As for the model I believe that they have all been updated to the recent hardware revisions. They seem to have sorted the reliability as it's only the older models that had the issue. Of course I'll probably go home & find mine dead now that I said that. The newer hardware has an HDMI port.


As for which one I'd probably look at the Elite. Now that you can copy games to the hard drive it's quite easy to chew through space. Advantages of that are they load faster & it's quieter as the drive isn't spinning all of the time. I've got a 20 GB drive & think that I need to upgrade it.

So how do you do this? I got the Elite but there is no option to install agame to HDD on it?

Bear in mind that its not a SSD in there, and that although running from HD is quieter, you are also putting it under far more access stress than usual, which do you value more, your .sav files or a bit less noise?


Meh, any real hardcore gamer would have bung their 360's innards into one of these long ago...

And SSDs have limited write cycles. Spinning platters will probably last longer. That said I wouldn't trust either much. Also there are some games out there (Halo 3) that use the hard drive for caching anyways.


If you buy the bigger drive as an upgrade now you get a cable with it that allows you to connect one externally to the USB port. You might be able to back up save games this way.

    • It looks like they have cut it down completely now 😭
    • Different people will be  involved within Thames Water. The people dealing with the leaks aren't the people encouraging less water usage. How many people have reported it? By what channels? What response have they had? When we had a leak in our road which meant we had no water, several people reported it, there was good communication with TW, they explained why they couldn't come out immediately (other urgent jobs elsewhere in the area) , kept  in touch with us and fixed the leak within a reasonable timescale (hours). Someone from TW also contacted me later to make sure my water was back. But does Thames Water know about it? They aren't psychic (I presume). If nobody reports it, I also presume they won't even know the leaks are  there, unless they have some kind of central monitoring system which tells them when there are leaks in the system. To make it clear, I am not defending Thames Water as a company, which I think should never have been privatised.  But there are some things they can't be blamed for (old and disintegrating water pipe system in London) and some they can (possibly, lack of sufficient staff to deal with leaks, maybe due to trying to save money to give their shareholders more. But this is just surmise on my part - I know nothing about Thames Water).
