I wanna know who the new member of the team is. Also what happened to the top gear dog??

I've seen the single arabs one, thought that was funny as iirc aren't all there marraiges arranged??

Thats good to hear Baxie, so i take you have to re arrange the collection or go and collect it from their depot??

I've seen this one alot lately aswell, I think the adds pick up on things we talk about

Tbh I doubt it'll be any good. Anything since Driver 3 has been rubbish putting it nicely. Driver 1 and 2 worked because they where major advances at the time and GTA was still 2D but as soon as GTA 3 come out on the PS2 and that was the first of its kind out on that platform (iirc), that was game over for Driver as it simply never felt good enough in comparising, which is a shame as I loved the first two.

Yeap, I think it was oinly for the first few thousand. Source (then click new features)

Correct, and if you got it early enough I beleive the Career (blue disc) had a scratch and sniff feature

:D Good Find Khevo. So I'll come back off Holiday get my box back and be able to play on my new TV and have FREE EA content. Result :D Would rep you but I've got to spread it

I saw a White R8 today on an 08 plate, was very nice

Got my labels and got a box from work today. What did everyone do with the Receipt?? I love the part saying don't write Xbox or M$ on the box yet its addressed to the Microsoft Repairs Centre, lol

What happens when you need to change disc?? I know with PS2 games it worked but (thats why you could use them cheat discs), but with the 360 when you open the try it goes back to the dashboard so M$ would have to make changes to allow it. As I wrote in another thread, it would be good if it were true but tbh I doubt it.

I saw a Merc AMG V12 BiTurbo CLS in Black today, it look well good, shame it was parked would loved to have heard it.

I have Finally registed my 360 and orderd the repair!!!! It only took me 37 days after it has happen to sort it out, now I have to wait for the labels.

Yeah thats in the mag, TG mag has revealed all of the challenges just not what they look like or how it went. Also seen some pictures floating round the net of the Sabine challenges it tells you what they are in the mag but one with the pic i see was

I have been reading the new TG mag and its got all the challenges in it, really looking forward to the one with Sabine in as she hosts ze German version/equivelent of TG and they are on each others shgow with that perticular challange.

Firmware (v2.36) coming soon, (v2.40) to include trophies, in-game XMB + Posted by Eric Lempel // Director, PlayStation Network Operations A new PLAYSTATION 3 firmware update (v2.36) will be launching soon, improving system stability when playing select PlayStation format software titles. We’re also happy to officially report that the 2.40 system software update for PS3 will include “XMB” access in-game. The update will also include “trophies,” an exciting new feature that we’ll be providing more details on soon, as well as some other new enhancements. We’ve talked about some of this on the blog previously and know that many of you can’t wait to get your hands on these features. You can expect us to share all of the official details shortly. Source Is it just me or do the "Trophies" sound like PS's version of Acheivements/gamerscore??? Firmware v2.40 FAQ + Posted by Eric Lempel // Director, PlayStation Network Operations Hi again! It’s great to see the positive reaction to the unveiling of system software update v2.40. We can’t wait for you to finally go hands-on with XMB access in-game and the Trophy system – and it’s less than 2 days away. Not surprisingly, a number of you have posed questions both here and on other forums. Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions. Will voice-messaging/private chat be featured in 2.40 as well? If not, can we expect to see this feature added in the future? We are evaluating the opportunity to offer voice chat, but for this update, we wanted to focus on text messaging as the key priority for communications that our users have asked for. Can you use the web browser in game? No, you must exit the game before browsing the internet. Will In-Game XMB come up during playback of PS2 games, Blu-Ray discs, and DVDs? The XMB is an exclusive feature for PS3 game titles. Accessing the XMB during gameplay was the top request from our users, which we focused on for this update. However, we continually engage PS3 owners for feedback and will evaluate the opportunity to offer XMB access during movie playback in the future. Can we go to the display settings and change anything there in-game (resolution, input, etc)? No, you must exit the game before changing these settings. Will it be possible to change in-game the sound output? Yes, sound output changes are supported. Will we be able to access the PLAYSTATION Store while in-game? No, but you can view your downloads in progress. Will we be able to stream music (either via media server or USB drive) for custom soundtracks or is it relegated to music stored on the HDD? Currently only music stored on the HDD is accessible in games that support this feature. We’d also like to reiterate that Firmware v2.40 merely enables custom soundtracks. It’s up to developers to include this feature in upcoming games (or to patch existing ones). Does 2.4 enable cross game invites? Will it down the line? No, cross-game invites are not available in this system software update. We are evaluating opportunities to expand on the new features delivered in 2.40. Will trophies be mandatory for all games release here on out? We are working with developers to ensure that Trophies are supported across the board in the future. Where is each player’s trophy stat info held? I am going to upgrade my hard drive and I don’t know if the trophies will still be on my account if I earn some and then get a new hard drive. Trophies will be attached to users’ PSN ID. Trophy data needs to be synchronized to the online account on PSN to be transferred to the new PS3 system. Will the patch automatically allocate unlocked trophies according to your saved files or would you have to do it again? No, Trophies aren’t retroactive. Can we view PSN profiles/Trophies from a PC using a Web browser? Will there be an API for web developers to access the PSN data, so online profiles can be created? We’re evaluating these opportunities to expand where Trophies can be experienced. Can you only compare trophies with friends that are online? As long as a friend has a PSN account, you can compare trophies with them regardless of their online status. Is there a limit to how many trophies the devs can put set by Sony? There’s not a limit on number of trophies, but there’s a value assigned to each trophy. Developers must balance out the trophies that are available to stay within an overall value based on whether the game is considered large-scope or small-scope. Essentially, a user that has unlocked every trophy in one game would have the same level as a user that unlocked every trophy in another title, all titles (depending on scope) have the same overall impact on a users’ level. Will new games have a cool little icon on the back saying “trophy compatible?” We’re currently working on how Trophy support will be messaged to the consumer on our software packaging. When you get a trophy, does it make a noise? Currently, no. How quickly things can change - there *will* be a sound effect when you unlock a Trophy. What is Eric’s favorite cheese? Mozzarella Once again, we will continue to evaluate opportunities to enhance the PLAYSTATION 3’s system software throughout the console’s life cycle. Consumer feedback has contributed greatly to the contents of Firmware v2.40, and continues to be appreciated. Don’t forget, this Firmware will be available for download on July 2nd.

I officially give up trying to keep up with technology. That pic looks the nuts

Thats what I ment 1920x1080p

:mad: I bought my TV thinking they wont up it from full/True HD (1920x1080p) for a while but they are. You can't buy nothing without it going out of date a week later. Thats good but to be honest I doubt they would up the res as the machines don't output inpast full/true HD and I don't think you could update them with a firmware upgrade so I think more content is the way it may go.

Come on Holland/Netherlands/ze Dutch (delete as applicable)

Thats alot of space, imagine the amount of cars and tracks you could have on that

Dunno, whats the next thing after Blu Ray that Dodgem (i think it is) keeps on about??

Haha, I was going to post the Forza one but it just seemed like complete.. erm... rubbish to put it nicely. I read the one about Lips and that seems like something they would do, as it is successful on the PS and the amount they could make via DLC.
