    Test Drive Unlimited

    If you want lots of money fast do the 170mph speed challenge, only takes a few seconds in the Zonda and gets you 15k everytime, takes 20 minutes or so to get a few hundred grand if you repeat it.

    Test Drive Unlimited

    Got this on the PC last week, loving it... Just a shame the PC version has so many issues at the moment, currently running it low-res to get decent performance, it has conflicts with lots of GPUs.

    Picked up PS3 lastnite

    Very odd seeing several PS3s available on a stand at the front of Tesco this evening (about 15 minutes ago), after a quick enquiry they had 'plenty in stock'. Either Sony have got this right and spent this long delay building us a shed load of consoles, or demand just isn't there. Update: It...

    Console backwards compatability

    Official list for PS3 > PS2 compatability... http://faq.eu.playstation.com/bc/ Most game at best run with various glitches and bugs, although it is software emulation so in theory this should improve with time.

    PS3 Delivered!

    But you get a choice the 360, if you don't want a HD drive you don't have to buy one. With the PS3 you have to buy everything and pay the full amount, regardless of what you might use. There is also no guarantee that the Blu-Ray DVD player is actually really good compared to what will be...

    PS3 Delivered!

    There is a list of games that will/won't work (link below), the download for 1.6 will be enabled at midnight tonight apparently. Sony claim 1700 work but most are duplicated games and many are highlighted as having issues. http://faq.eu.playstation.com/bc/ Pro Evo 6 is listed as Should...

    Nikon D50...£290.00

    Absolutely, £290 will not be the final cost if you go with the D50. You will want (regardless of what you think at the moment) at least a 55-200mm telephoto zoom sooner or later, another £100+ gone. That and the 18-55mm kit lens are surprisingly good, but won't really offer you anything...

    cup stickers

    I've still got one spare if you want one, PM me and I will post it to you (if I can find it, noticed it somewhere recently!), site has indeed gone down the pan, might relaunch it without a forum as it's far too much work/hassle. The site itself gets thousands of hits and I've had loads of...

    Poor ferrari F430

    Technically they are "visible minority ethnics'" these days (apparently), so I assume 'black' will go the way of 'coloured' and be deemed unsuitable/racist sooner or later.

    GTR2 Downloads

    Microsoft 360 Control Pad, I've not got a 360 but couldn't find a better PC pad than that so I bought a wired one. Don't need to buy the more expensive PC boxed version, the 360 one works just fine. Settings are the most important thing with a pad, these work superbly... Steering: 10...

    PS3 Availability

    Availability in the States and Japan has been very healthy (Japan has already had an official price-cut after retailers started doing it themselves to shift stock), so based on that and the fact that Sony have had more than enough time to put a decent launch together should mean they will be...

    TVR Graveyard (56k beware)

    ^^^ Marcos seem to have found a way back from the brink (again!) and are now producing a very nice car, although I admit I'm only comparing it to old Marcos', as apart from those (which they used to build in a hangar 2 minutes from my house) I haven't exactly experienced many British sports cars!

    another of the racing blue vee

    I get the feeling the owner wanted the Vee to be in the exact style of all the other classic Alpine/Renault's in that collection, so a bit harsh to knock the stripe imo!

    TVR Graveyard (56k beware)

    Fantastic pics, although I assume it's looked much the same for at least 6 months. Read an interesting story (Evo?) recently about the workers having absolutely nothing to do for months before the closure, they set up darts leagues or something to pass the time.

    New 5mp Sonyericsson coming soon

    Bit pointless cramming that many pixels onto a sensor that must be about the quarter of the size of a postage stamp. Need to improve the glass imo but then I guess it takes up more space. I guess it will sell well enough based on that 5MP headline alone, even if a 5 year old 2MP compact...

    Next major shipment is in April apparently, at the rate they are selling there is no way you will find a really good deal on one.

    Crash Course in Photography

    Here goes... Instead of the background being silky smooth you can see lots of speckles and mudiness, that essentially is what noise is when regarding an image. It's not to be confused with pixelation, which looks like blockiness when you enlarge a picture too much.

    Somebody takes GTR2 way too seriously...

    Fair play to them, if my numbers came up in the lottery I would love to do something similar (with a bigger monitor). I play that game enough to justify it!

    Crash Course in Photography

    The second post in my topic goes through panning, that should get you started... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showpost.php?p=2315526&postcount=2 As Rich said, 140mph is a little on the tough side, especially if you are just starting out. Try to get them coming out of a corner at around...

    Digital camera help needed please!

    What Dave said. DSLR sounds like the only option for what you require, Nikon is out of the question as they concentrate on low noise rather than pixel count, the only relatively inexpensive option with a high enough pixel count is going to be the Canon 350D (if you can find one now), you could...

    Anyone fancy a new lens :)

    I had to check it wasn't April Fools Day or something similar in Japan. Their 800mm Prime is mad but this goes even further.

    Digital camera help needed please!

    Why do you want more pixels? On a non-SLR camera anything over 6MP is unlikely to be of great benefit, I personally prefer a lower pixel count within reason as it usually means less noise and better high ISO performance. Unless you want big prints frequently it's not really worthwhile. The...

    Wii chipped

    Wii games officially cost £39.99, but shop around and they can be had for £29.99 without too much effort (Asda are a good starting point) If you can't afford the games don't buy the console, £30 isn't bad as long as you read reviews and plan purchases. Most software houses seem to be going...
