Wtf is this….? Did a “track day” today and everytime I hit 100mph I get this squealing whining noise! It is definitely speed and not rev related and starts at about 95mph and reaches its peak at 100. Then as you lift off it dies down and disappears by about 95mph. I think I remember reading...

One thing is for sure, if you have a game that uses 9GB + of data then you better get used to loading screens if you are relying on optical disks! My Steam folder that has HL2, CS Source plus the Lost Coast add on is only 5GB and thats enough gaming for anyone! If a game uses more than 4Gb...

Not sure what these games are that are exceeding the capacity of a DVD? I mean I have PC games that come on a few CD's but nothing that wouldn't fit on one DVD especially as certain components can be installed on the HD? I guess Sony have these FMV games like Final Fantasy that might need a lot...

I did own a PS2 but sold it because it was rubbish and have been anti PS2 ever since. The PS1 was one of the best consoles I had though. I will buy a PS3 and sell it if it isn't any good. If its brilliant and they have a decent online service then the 360 will go. Its just unfortunate...

We have three 360's (myself and my two brothers) and a couple of my friends have them as well and none of us have had a damaged disc. Never heard anyone on Xbox Live complaining about it either. Sounds like more of that nonsense planted by Sony employees on online forums to me. Funnily enough I...

Pretty similar to the CTR discussion. If I was offered both cars for free I'd take the LCR but when it comes to realistically buying one out of my own money....

I think I have seen the Yellow one before. I think it belonged to a kid whos old man runs a car repair place in the area. Dunno if he still has it though. I was on the Ring Road last night near Downend and was followed by a Silver 182 like mine. Didn't realise how menacing they look in your...

Just to stress again (as I saw the usual mistake repeated above) that the depreciation is NOT better on a CTR. Depreciation compared to list price is better on the CTR but most people are paying two to three thousand less than list for their 182 whereas no discounts were available for me on a CTR.

One thing I will say about the 182 in reference to what GuyS said at the end of his post is that it does make the CTR, the S2000 and the Mk1 V6 somewhat of a disappointment when you drive them because they kind of just felt the same when I was expecting them to feel quicker. Thats not to say I...

I just had a thought. Suppose you owned both cars. Every time you go out you see both keys on the table. Which one would you take the most? Tell you what, I'd take the CTR 100% of the time. Unless it was really hot and I didn't have AC on the CTR....hmmm...nah I'd still take the CTR lol...

I think I do still want a CTR, I have to admit I loved it....:S I dunno its like trying to choose between Britney Spears or Charlotte Church - you just can't! Both are good but in different ways and if you have either one you will always hanker for the other.

Really I could have summed it up in a fraction of the words. The CTR is the better car in terms of what I would like to own for the sake of it, the 182 is the better car when you also look at equipment lists, price tags and what I want to pay for it. The pre 04 CTR was a couple of tenths...

The hundredth thread on the subject! Here is what I said in the other threads after seeing my friends ownership experience (which only lasted a few months before he sold it) and driving it myself: 1, Depreciation is no better on the CTR when you take into account the discounts you get on a...

Went in the Mill House last night and my mate and I parked up next to each other in Sainsburys carpark as the pub carpark was full. He has a silver Mk1 V6 and mine is a Silver cupped 182. Someone was pulling out of Sainsburys carpark (by Argos really) in what I think was a Cup as opposed to...

7 hours is fine, doubt I have played for much more than that! Some people have a life, others are on there all the time getting hyped up over their ratings etc. Anyone set any quick times on the Ring yet. The standard version of the ring not the extra long version with the GP track included...

PGR3 is absolutely ace. If I could have one game for both single player and online then that would be it. PDZ is the next best as I find I only play it online co-op as opposed to single player. Kameo and COD2 are both really good games just not as good as the above two.

I can understand the shortage in consoles but leads ffs!!!

It varied on the conditions and how I drove but my 1.2 16v did 45 to 55mpg over a tank and the DCI80 would do 65 to 80mpg. The DCI80 felt a lot quicker though. I had the DCI80 when my 182 wasn't delivered on time due to a fault. I had been driving a 2.2 Vectra SRI 150bhp and getting in the DCI80...

I reckoned I was getting 20mpg more out of the dci80 compared to my 1.2 16v when driving in a similar manner. Is that what sort of figure you used to calculate the fuel costs? My bro was looking at a 1.4 new shape (just coming out now) Yaris diesel and it wasn't that far short of £12k! The...

Those dci engines are great but I find with diesels that the cost of the car plus the fact that the fuel is more expensive means that you would have to do some serious mileage to be better off. For my money the dci80 courtesy car I had was way more fun and pleasureable to drive than the petrols...

Probably a Sony employee...

Yeah Elite should have continued especially now with online play it would be amazing with all the trading etc. Not sure what Lucasarts are playing at with X-Wing and Tie Fighter. They keep bringing out the same old sh*t arcade games like those on the Cube instead of the proper sims (not that...

Has anyone used a good old fashioned wired pad? I have the wireless pad and a play and charge kit but the rumble effect is very weak even with the charge cable connected. I see that the wired pad has options for strong, weak and no rumble. Is it a more powerful a rumble than the wireless pads?

I am a PC gamer and have been for 12 years or so. I am there to play games, not push technology for big multinational corporations. If they want to push their technology they can pay and place adverts like everyone else. If they collude with games developers to force me into buying their...

I am quite impressed with mine. I have PGR3, PDZ and Kameo and they certainly look better and smoother than anything my FX53/X800XT/1GB PC can produce plus I have proper 5.1 sound using a simple optical lead as opposed to p*ssing around with loads of wires and a decent online service. FEAR was...

There ain't half a load of sad b*stards in the world. I am enjoying playing mine and it only cost me £280 or whatever it was. Can't believe anyone would pay £600 for it, they are good but not that good. Why pay £300 more instead of waiting a few weeks. With the £300 you could go on a damn nice...

I should be on PGR3 Friday night with both my bro's unless I go down the pub - which I doubt! Might be on Friday day time depending on when the post van turns up!

PGR3, PDZ, Kameo and COD. Gamertag as per my CS user name.

Again you are a victim of the ebay w*nkers or rather the people stupid enough to buy things from them. Most places though were allowing two Xbox's per order. I have two brothers and all three of us are buying one. I could have ordered all three together but as it was we did seperate orders...

http://www.jolt.co.uk/index.php?articleid=5015 There has been a lot of noise made about the reported faulty 360s across the United States post launch, but according to some it may be being blown completely out of proportion. The press and websites alike carried stories claiming 360s were...
