thats not quite right, although games are region free, Blu-ray discs are not really. There are some studios not using region coding, there are some that are, some are saying they are but they aren't and some are region encoding their new titles but not their catalogue titles. To make sure use...

the same way the 360 does it. The PS3 was going to include the PS2 chip to run the PS2 games but its now going to run it using software whic will mean that not as many games will be supported at first ut more can be added through updates etc. This is the same way the 360 does its backwards...

must admit, i got caught out by that very corner on my first lap, its a big old kerb to mount too!

exactly, finally someone with some sense!

why would you, my xbox 360 cost me the same amount 18 months ago if i include the hd-dvd addon i got? the price hangup on the ps3 is so over exaggerated.

the reason is because they have something like twice the launch units as any other console launch and its out of a lot of peoples price range. i can't be arsed waiting for a price cut, i want one from day one, never have seen the reason to wait until something comes down in price, i'm not as...

correct, they are not crap:rolleyes: you want to play old games then use your ps2 or just play using the software emulation on the ps3. not sure what the hangup is on this ps2 thing, its just something for people to moan about, its like upgrading to broadband and then complaining because you...

yes you do, go into folder options and click on the show hidden folders, by defaults its hidden!

we use websense at work and as it looks at all traffic on the network rather that relying on website name databases its pretty much impossible to fool, very good product, we also disable everyones USB ports via policy's too. If you want to stop people, there are ways, depends how thorough the...

firefox uses a backup bookmarks file, called bookmarks.bak, not sure how you restore to it but it might work?

absolute rubbish,, that really is. UK model £425 -VAT = around £350 US model $599 using todays toruist exchange rate of 1.84 = £325 If you add tax onto the US model of around say 7% as all states are different its £350. So as you can see, its the VAT we have to pay because of the governement...

lol a stripped down one, they are just removing the ps2 chip (emotion i think?) and using software emulation to run the games, it isn't going to be as bad as everyone is making out, and personally I will never subject it to an inferior ps2 game anyway, just wouldn't be right. As it happens the...

had my best techie mates work on it most of the afternoon including using hirens boot cd and there was nothing they could do in the end, it was well and truly fecked and it doesn't help that it was OEM as that makes it all the more difficult, wasn't even any backup registry files from the...

hmmm, yes, i am beginning to think this. I am going to try and mount it with linux tomorrow and then maybe try and copy a software registry key onto it so that I can boot windows and then once I do that I can import the registry i have on the desktop, failing that I will get all my data off and...

LOL, i don't think i can upgrade to much really, it already has a 100gb hdd and i'm not sure there is anything that much bigger to go in the laptop unfortunately its about 90gb full too so a hell of a lot of info on it i need! thanks for the advice though, will see what I can find out and see...

Re: My 182 failed MOT miserably! - Tesco fuel? well, new lambda sensor fitted by renault this morning (and a new clip for the cat/exhaust Mike ;) ) all under warranty, its last warranty work now I assume as it ran out last weekend! The car passed the MOT with flying colours, thanks for the...

you must have a crap one then as my N73 produces VERY good pics

yes you can but you have to pay an upgrade fee on your phone, but its a fee on top of the actual phone upgrade fee. So say the phone you wanted was £50 for an upgrade, depending on how long you have left and how much you spend with them they will charge another fee, can be £50-£150 though I...

i was thinking about installing windows onto second partition and then copying the registry over to the c: to then allow it to start and then importing the registry I have exported on my desktop. just need to know if when you install the second version of windows on the second partition whethr...

was looking at that but it says not to do it on an OEM machine, and guess what, OEM xp home!

i will try this once I get my hands on an xp disk but at the moment i haven't got one of those, damn OEM's using hidden partitions rather than discs these days!

nope, that doesn't work either

no it won't start in safe mode

thinking about the fact that i exported the registry a few weeks back, how can I import it again without having windows running, is there a way as i know thats a good copy of the registry, its just saved to my desktop?

i have a sony laptop and was in a rush last night to leave and my laptop was taking ages to shut down so I jsut turned it off, done it loads of times with no repercussions but this time was different. Now when i boot I get the windows logo then a blue screen complaining the registry...

i know of no-one that uses them and if they have taken off so much why aren't they more advertised or made by more people. the drives have taken off but the media is still too expensive to have taken off IMO

its great and covers sooooo many games, but i can't remember seeing rampage in there

LMAO

if its a 720p screen then it won't let you choose 1080p but it will let you choose 1080i as its interlaced and not a true 1080 lines, you are tricked into thinking it is.

the human eye shouldn't be able to detect the picture difference between the two an a screen less than 42", apparently, its not really looking to notice a difference until you get to 50"
