I'd get that Onkyo HT-X22HDX 2.1 system where you can buy the centre and rear speakers later. Much better than a sound bar of similar price IMO. Having tried a Soundbar I did like that it saved a bit of space but was left bitterly disappointed because whilst better than your TV speakers it is...

Go with whichever 780 is cheapest. I have had EVGA, Palit, Zotac etc etc. Never had a card fail as yet (touch wood) and if they did fail it would likely be after so much time that I'd consider the card obsolete and requiring replacement anyway.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't listen to MP3's. I play games, watch Netflix and stream the odd movie on my consoles. The only other thing I might do is once in a blue moon a mate will offer me a pirate DVD movie but I can't play that as I only have a PS3 at the moment which blocks them whereas my...

Just watched the comparison video and blow me if the Xbox version doesn't actually look better even though I understand why it shouldn't.

For me the key point from that article was that neither could run the game at 1080p which would have been a key marketing point. Makes this new generation a hard one to sell to consumers who are sceptical about shelling out £400. I mean the previous gen was all about "HD" and Blu Ray, the gen...

Got it for £15 from a key site :p I haven't got that far yet but so far it feels excellent. I mean I really can't tell it apart from the previous two. Graphically it is a step up I feel from the previous two on PC. Looking forward to playing it some more. Just annoying that there are so many...

So it was £29.99 on Steam if you pre-ordered without being able to read reviews due to the NDA. Now it has launched and the reviews are out the game is £39.99. Really, do they honestly think I will buy it with them using that strategy? Shove it, I might buy it when it is £7.99 in a Steam...

Aha! I was annoyed that it forced me to link to my MSN account! Didn't realise I could unlink it! Will investigate! Will also go back to Classic Shell.

I flashed my BIOS in the end and that removed the annoying Secureboot watermark. Kind of question the point of beta testing as this issue would surely have been encountered (it was - FACT) yet MS didn't put in an option to disable the watermark once a user had acknowledged it. A lot of people...

Well the Start menu isn't as good as what I had on 8.0 with classic shell. Worse though is that I have the "SecureBoot isn't configured correctly" watermark. Only way to fix that is to take the risk of updating my BIOS so that I can enable SecureBoot assuming an updated BIOS is available that...

My Note 3 arrived today. I went for the sim free version as I managed to get myself out of the contract treadmill a few years back. It is very nice, can't say it is worth the extra over say the cost of a new Note 2 but I guess that is the early-ish adopter premium. They have already come down a...

Scott Manley you mean, he does some awesome stuff. I love this game. I remember the first time I made it to the mun and back, such a good feeling of accomplishment! I started out with my first rockets exploding on the pad, then just getting into orbit was an achievement and I had no fuel...

I got a PS3 because I wanted to play The Last of Us and things like Journey/Uncharted as I'd previously been a 360 owner and hadn't played them. Now that I've finished TLoU, Journey and thought Uncharted was sh*te (PS fanboys were on drugs saying it was better than Tomb Raider), I am stuck with...

Yeah I can't stand sh*tty football. Haven't played a football game since Sensible Soccer on the Amiga. I "was" going to buy a digital download of Forza from MS once my console arrived. The fact that they announced FIFA being thrown in made no difference to me. I had no intention in hell of...

Pre-ordered from Amazon as soon as it was available. My Xbone is going under my TV and will be my primary home media device for stuff like Netflix, movie rentals and most games, especially those that I might want to play online with my friends. My PS4 will be connected to my PC monitor and...

Yeah same here except this time I won't buy it again. I sold all my consoles ready for the next gen but then bought a PS3 to play The Last of Us and use it for Netflix etc. So PS3 version it is. I can't be arsed to wait for the PC version. Also when I played GTA4 on the PC it was bugged to hell...

I've already mentioned some flaws with The Last of Us that prevent it being the 10/10 game the likes of IGN say it is. For my money Tomb Raider is the best game I've played this year. Beats The Last of Us hands down in my opinion. The Last of Us is a better interactive movie (that is ruined by...

I love the atmosphere and world but the combat sections are lame. Same old cover based stealth stuff but not as good as other games do it. I also don't like the way it fakes you into playing it stealthy by doing crap like not letting you loot ammo from people you kill even though they have a...

On the topic of PC gaming. The excessively long console generation helped PC gaming IMO by helping remove some of the reputation the PC has for being overly expensive and requiring constant wallet busting upgrades. That was certainly the case in the days when most PC games were exclusive to the...

Wasn't Max Payne 3 something stupid like 50GB? I have just downloaded Uncharted 3 and I don't think that was too far off that? Not sure why it is that big.

Always prioritised Xbox in the past but this time I have pre-ordered a PS4. Will get the Xbox at a later date. ​Maybe.

I can show the average 360 owner a game running on my PC at 2500x1440 with everything maxed out and they will swear blind they can't tell the difference compared to their version. Do you think with that in mind that they would have the first fecking clue as to the difference between my PC...

Yup; I called this one at the time when MS announced it. The publishers call the shots on this. If you want their games on your console, if you want exclusives, if you want to be the first console to have the DLC then you (Sony or MS) need to dance to their tune. Everyone needs to take a get...

At the time I thought this game was absolutely amazing. However I think when replaying it these days it is maybe just above average because most of what you saw in the game was copied by others and is kind of par for the course these days with fps. One thing I didn't like even when I played...

Yeah my cinema system (and previous systems I've owned) doesn't display the 5.1 logo if Sky is connected via HDMI. Funnily enough I get the same problem with my Apple TV too. So I connect them both by optical cable and in the case of the latter I have to change the sound setting from Auto to...

It likely won't suffer the flaws of the original. I don't want to jump around my room like a weirdo, I just want it to track my hand and arm movements. Hopefully it can do that and integration in games won't require that it sees your entire body for the very good reasons that you mention. My...

I like it. Will pre-order for launch. Yeah not expecting it to my match my PC but then that costs well over £2k more than that Xbox will launch at. It will be close enough and exclusives like Halo will look amazing and none of this bulls**t we get on PC where every single game has problems...

Mulling over pre-ordering this so I can play the original Grid (part of pre-order bonus on Steam). With the demise of my favourite racing series (PGR) this seems to be the only game that fits in between the "you are a worthless n00b if you don't spend £2000 building a triple screen racing car...

I've read about that game and it sounds awesome. Love the way they basically make you treat it as if it were real to stop the nonsense you get on many online racers where people constantly deliberately outbreak themselves and slam into the back of you at corners. Would love to get into...

Had issues with this on Virgin. It was their traffic management systems or something. The tell tale test that everyone on the Virgin forums did was going here http://www.proxfree.com/ and Youtube would stream perfectly in 1080 where as when going direct to Youtube with Virgin d*cking around...
