  1. Re:DVD is poor by comparison, but is "good enough" on New Study Finds Low Interest In Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, that my be your experience, but I watch SD channels (coming from my Sky box) on my 105" screen just fine - a decent scaler makes all the difference! OK watching live football (soccer) on ITV is still a bit painful, but it's painful on a 32" tv too.

    The fact that this has been modded "Funny" makes me very, very sad...

    I didn't read ANKOS, but I did read "The lifebox, the seashell and the soul" and I really dig the ideas and I have put ANKOS on my to-read list for sure.

    Why would you expect to be modded flamebait or troll for such a comment? I don't understand?

    Don't know, but I got my bathroom done in Penrose tiling and it looks pretty cool. (Quite expensive though).

    Oh I don't know. I did a parachute jump about ... er, 10 years ago. Just one. A static line jump, so I only had about 5 seconds of free-fall and about 5 or 10 mins of gliding down with the chute open and it's something I will never ever forget and always be grateful that I convinced myself to do it.

    First of all, no one has in blind testing been able to distinguish 256 kb/s mp3 from the original CD version, even with very high end equipment. For most people 192 is also indistinguishable.

    Can you cite a source for this please?

    Well maybe I'm too cynical, but I would be very surprised if the "top guy" in your church has not made sufficient amounts of cash from his work with the church either directly or as a result of the "goodwill" and status built up.

  23. Re:Well... on Sony Open to Considering PS3 Price Cuts · · Score: 1

    I bought a PSP for myself for xmas ... it's a nice looking unit with a great screen. I haven't bothered putting any MP3s on it yet, because I don 't know how, and the movie selection on UMD isn't reallllly my cup of tea (though I did buy Alien yesterday for the next time I'm stuck on a plane with bad movies showing). But you say you've surfed the web on your PSP?? How the hell do you do that?

    Am I the only person who hates Dead Rising?

    70euros and I think I've played it 3 times.

    I want to kill zombies and see some cool physics effects.

    All I get is taking photos and talking to dopes.

    And the load times are ridiculous and too frequent and it keeps bloomin crashing!

    Grrr.

    All I play on my 360 is PES6 and MonkeyBall. I don't really like FPS games, though I did like TimeSplitters on PS2, not sure why. Where's a new Driver or GTA or a quirky adventure game? Where's Soul Calibur? Or a Prince of Persia style thingy? I dunno man, I've had it over ayear now ... and I just haven't been blown away by the games.

    Madden - repetitive. PGR - terrible handling. Dead Rising - see above. Kameo - diabolical, impossible to see what's going on. COD2 - Was good for 2 or 3 weeks I guess, gets very samey rho.

    Ah I guess I'm just in a bad mood today.

    I do love PES6 tho ... must get this router working some day, am still not on xbox live ...
