Yeh I know, 11 years of iPhones now, can't change as I'm so invested in the eco system and it all works for me. I do miss getting a new phone and it feeling new, both iOS and Android don't offer this any more. Back in the day swapping from a Nokia to a Samsung sliding phone to a Moto V3 to a...

My 12 pro turned up today. Set it up from a backup of my XS, what a f**king pain they've made it. Last time it just worked, this time I was forced to enable 2 factor and the keychain sync kept failing, had to keep signing out and in again until it worked. Not very slick at all. Anyway, it's...

Base iPhone 11 locked to O2 is worth £380 if recycled. Extra cost of this contract is ((57 - 44)*12) + (57 * 12) = £840 Minus your £380 and considering you get another 12 months rental lets take off (£15 x 12 = £180) for an equivalent sim only means it's £280 extra cost to you for an iPhone...

It was never going to be a bug free release. You don't delay a game a month and everything is suddenly fixed, they've rushed it out for xmas and are hoping they can patch it quick enough to keep people from being too unhappy. I expect @Jason_E will be awaiting his pre-order with much...

I hadn't touched my XBONE for most of the year until I got swept up in the XSX hype and preordered in September. Then played my XBONE loads throughout October to justify it 😂

I think you've gone in the only direction possible after one of these. Every time I drive mine I get out and think it's pretty impossible to replace it with something that has such a blend of performance, fun, practicality, modern comforts and economy. It doesn't excel in any areas but it's...

Just dropped my controller off at a UPS drop point, pretty sure I have covid now. Why are the drop off points always the most undesirable most awful corner shops in the dodgiest of areas. I didn't even know York had shops that nasty. MS didn't even offer collection for it, service is a bit s**t...

I did laugh when you said you'd bought Watchdogs, the only game more well known than COD for having issues atm 😂

It is a good idea, badly executed as the lack of charger coincides with the first time they have included usb-c cables with a phone. But next time you upgrade it will be ok as you'll be set up, usb-c is here to stay and if anything Apple are late to the party. Everything now is usb-c and in a...

Any modern laptop 😂 For charging use your old lightening cables if you don't have a usb-c wall adaptor or just use wireless charging.

I've got so many 360 pads it's not even funny, and a couple of 360s. That's why I sold my one as soon as I got the XSX, I don't need more dust collectors.

I get why they won't send first, incase you are just trying to get a free controller. But other companies get around this by putting a hold on your card while waiting for the return.

I've got a sticky right trigger, I pulled the side off the controller and it's because the cushion pad the trigger hits at the limit is out of place so the edge of the trigger is going over the edge of the pad and sticking. Tried to relocate it but can't get enough purchase on the pad with my...

I'm also considering getting it soon too, I want the stereo to go off when I open the door rather than having to wait until I lock the car or double press the stop button.

Hmmmm, a couple of schools of thought on this. The publisher developing this are the company who don't (or didn't until it got very bad) force devs to work crazy hours (I think it's this company anyway), this kind of respect for the engineers could mean they also listen to their engineer's...

I've decided to go with the upgrade offered by Vodafone on a 12 pro 256GB, £29 down and £40 x 24 with trade in of my XS. No where near as good a deal as I got last time on my XS but having waited until this morning incase any BF deals come out I'm yet to see anything better. Looking forwards...

Jason can't even open MS Word without it crashing, it's definitely all him 😆

I have a 14 day trial of GPU if anyone wants it? Came with my spare pad but I'll not need it.

Nah, @N0ddie's setup is so clean, love it. You can also get away with a bigger screen if you wall mount like that, really wish I'd gone 65" and done something similar now! Also he can fit a soundbar in too now, which the original stand wouldn't fit.

Mobiles.co.uk have the 12 pro for: £600 + 24 x £26 for 30GB/Unlimited calls and data on Vodafone. Plus they are offering £350 for my XS on trade in. Have others found better deals? I was/am waiting for BF but with stock fairly scarce I don't think we'll see the offers we saw on the XS 2 years...

It's an awesome game, I've completed a lot of it but I still don't have the highscores and I'm stuck on the boss where you have to collect the block from his head in the molten lava thing. I tried again yesterday but there's genuine risk of controller<>TV contact so I had to stop.

I see, I guess you are like me and need the upgrade now. Have you considered a non 2.1 tv, like the Sony 9505? The PS5 doesn't support VRR yet, and very few games will run at 120fps. You'd probably get more benefit from decent HDR and a better display imo, you'll still be running a solid 4k60...

Yep, forgot all about the nano! But mainly because it's just not a great TV, the XH90 is a better TV if you are wanting a cheaper 2.1 set and don't care about HDR performance. Of course if limited by size then you have very few options at the moment, and I genuinely wouldn't buy anything if...

Sony XH90 - Has HDMI 2.1, no VRR yet, Sony seem quite reactive to fixing bugs, this is their PS5 TV so they do seem to care. s**t HDR. Samsung mid-high end QLEDS have 1 HDMI 2.1 port, best HDMI 2.1 tv for HDR, massive dimming issues in games mode, unresolved since May 2020, I'd not touch them...

A little off topic, but this was video was bounced around work at the start of the year, and it's a really interesting insight into games development back in the day (we're in the embedded automotive sector, so it's still relevant to us now).

I was just about to say YouTubers love making videos on them 🤣

To be fair, Paul (@Harpham) from back in the day got his sunflower by randomly asking the owner if he could buy it after driving past it every week for years.

Will it realllllllly be released then..... You know the first preview was 7 year ago 😂

Agree with this, never ever buy anything from a farmer (unless it’s food I guessJ. I bought my house off a farmer, every job I do results in 4 more to undo his bodges. Never again. When a carpet fitter came around he took one look at the old carpet, looked at me and said “farmer” 😂

Interested to hear how you get on, especially concerning lip sync and if you have to adjust the settings for that.
