When my PSU failed the entire system was as dead as a dodo.

Mine was dispatched today. Can't believe others have already had theirs for days, what's the point in release dates :dapprove:

I have an MS one. Worked perfectly - chuck the driver CD in the bin and ignore the instructions. Plug dongle into PC (Win 7), wait a few seconds for it to be detected, turn on pad, press the sync buttons on both. DONE. The only issue (and it ain't really an issue) is how you turn the pad off...

It is far better than Cataclysm ever was. I'd say almost as good as Wrath of the Lich King. I'd rate it higher than Wrath if it wasn't for being forced to do daily quests in order to get the gear needed to raid. Especially as the questing system isn't as fun as say GW2 as you have the issue of...

If you don't have budget issues then get Astro A40's. I got a wired pair and they are awesome. You can wear them for hours with no discomfort or fatigue and they sound pretty good too. Personally I don't like wireless headphones. Mainly because I sit within cable range so there is no benefit...

Ignore this, thinking of the wrong game.

You will get a better machine for the same money if you wait but you know that is a dangerous game because the same will apply six months from now.... I think it depends on how much of an upgrade this new one is over your old machine. Do you need it or want it badly enough? Is there a specific...

To be honest OP, what it comes down to is are you into tinkering around with PC's or do you just like using them? If you enjoy the tinkering as a hobby then build it yourself. If you just want to use it then buy it pre-built. It costs a bit more but there are some advantages. I mean for...

It turns out that this game is pretty much rigged. A guy by the name of Gevlon collected data and demonstrated that the game fiddles with stuff like the penetration rate so that everyone is close to a 50% win rate. The game wants everyone to "have fun" so they hang around and pay for cash shop...

I'd also vote for Sennheiser. I have got the 598's and they worked Ok on my Nano which surprised me as I thought I'd have to have the volume maxed! I have some Sennheiser in ear bud style headphones and they were good too so I'd say the models like the 555 or 558 that other people have...

I went for the 16GB. You need to be 100% realistic about what YOU will use it for. Don't pay the rip off prices for the extra memory on the basis of "I might need it in the future" because by that time the iPad 3 will be a dinosaur and you would have replaced it with something better. Sounds...

I've had it a few days now and I always seem to be in overflow areas. Bit s**t when you get the option to teleport back to normal zone and when you emerge you have like 5 mobs around you and they kill you within a few seconds! I deliberately joined a high population server having learned my...

They are taking the p*ss big time now mate. I waited until today as I figured now the release is over they would remove the pre-release item and start selling the standard edition digital download at a similar price to the high street retailers. NOPE! They did change it to the standard...

I went from a 3GS to an S2. Not a single day has passed when I have not had bleeding knuckles from punching this piece of s**t in the face. I just find it irritating and unintuitive. Mainly the keyboard. I have downloaded additional keyboards but I find they don't even come close to the one...

Yeah I used to get it sent to work then they outsourced our mail people to a company who decided to sack three quarters of the staff and we have been threatened with a disciplinary for getting personal mail delivered because they lack the resources to handle it. Used to get so much delivered to...

I am a bit p*ssed off because this is £35.99 on places like Amazon and the Supermarkets online stores but if you want a digital download the GW2 website is still charging £50 for the pre order version. This is BS because obviously the pre order version no longer benefits from beta access and a...

It was a notoriously bad port! Even with the additional options maxed out it doesn't look particularly good and to this day doesn't achieve the frame rates it should on current equipment. The irony is that whilst moaning about it running too slow, when I played it a few months back the final...

Yeah and if it is as bad a conversion as GTAIV about another 3 years before the hardware required to play it maxed out hits the market!

Can't play this weekend so I decided to get it next week on the regular release day. Played RIFT from the start and that went Ok with just small queues but looks like GW2 has some issues. It will settle down though.

Same. Totalbiscuit was raving about the story and the tough choices and regretting killing people etc so I am waiting for a drop. Glad others here are giving it positive reviews as that confirms it will be worth it. I will wait for £15 but I am itching to pay the full whack now. Just a bit...

Just saw Totalbiscuit highlighting this on twitter: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/07/27/dishonoreds-dishonourable-pre-order-rat-trap/ Pretty crap tbh.

Well that's fair enough and I can't argue with that if it ran badly on your system. Personally it ran really smooth on mine on the max settings and my system is nothing special. Looked miles better than the console versions. In comparison to say the notoriously bad conversions of Arkham City...

What was wrong with the port? In my opinion it was easily one of the better ports I have seen.

LOL my brother text me about this game absolutely raving about it! I watched some youtube videos and it does like some guys DIY attempt at Alan Wake! Alan wake has been going well cheap so I'd recommend checking that out if you want to s**t yourself and have a really solid, atmospheric story...

I tend not to trust peoples opinions of the beta version. Mostly it is just a bunch of kiddies spanking their dappers over the fact that they are using something that most people don't have. You rarely get valuable feedback from them. I remember with Vista they were all creaming over the flashy...

This.

Actually Totalbiscuit really knows his stuff so I wouldn't dismiss his opinions. I used to dislike him until I took the time to remove the fanboy goggles and actually listen. He doesn't just whine for the sake of it, he actually goes into great detail in explaining the reasoning behind his...

Well worth paying the upgrade cost to get Win 7 though. For me the biggest problem with Vista is getting the service packs installed. I end up repairing (mainly fresh rebuilds) a lot of laptops for friends and work colleagues and those packs always prove to be the biggest nightmare. It just...

Curiously I have seen benchmarks that showed far closer gaps and the 690 ahead in some places. That being said I was considering the 690 based on the performance differential shown in those benchmarks you posted. The main draw being the lower volume levels. Shop stock levels are such that I...

Did anyone ever get a 690? Experiences? Despite what I posted in this thread I am actually seriously considering one instead of dual 680's. Seem to be stock shortages though.
