As Dodgem said we know its in the pipeline but for Tenebra to ask for the pics to be removed then it does make you think why she's asked. Ok we weren't meant to see that but its as if they are trying to keep it quiet for some reason. Shame we couldn't see the press release then we would know what was going on.

They done that with my mates PS2, when they delivered the new one they took the old one. They can't do that with the 360 due to the dlc only working on the console you downloaded it on.

Qualifying rules changed for Bahrain Eurosport - Fri, 28 Mar 22:06:00 2008 Formula One qualifying will be modified to prevent the danger of drivers suddenly slowing to save fuel after their final quick laps while others are still at full speed. A spokesman for the International Automobile Federation confirmed the change was likely to be enforced before next week's third round of the season in Bahrain. "Our clarification to the teams and drivers will be that cars returning to the pits having completed their flying lap or laps will be required to do so within a time that we will set," he said. "This could be approximately 120 percent of the normal time as we do to prevent drivers going very slowly to the grid (on the pre-race formation lap) to save fuel." Teams and drivers called on the governing body to act after last weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix threw up an obvious danger in the third and final qualifying phase. McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen were penalised five places on the starting grid for impeding rivals but the safety implications caused more concern than the sanction. The rules have changed this season, preventing the 10 drivers who take part in the final session from refuelling between the end of Saturday's qualifying and the race on Sunday. The revised format has raised safety concerns with drivers slowing to save fuel immediately they finish while others are still at full speed. "I clearly don't like the dangers implicit in this situation," said BMW Sauber team boss Mario Theissen at the weekend. "The speed differentials are so great that this is a problem which we need urgently to resolve, hopefully by the next race in Bahrain."

You could do but this thread has loads of leaked info now so it'll just be agro for the mods to start moving it about it'll be easier for a title change.

I completed this mission earlier without doing it this way, I'll have to remember what I done and post a guide even tho it was more luck than anything.

Definately lack of features iirc the 40gb is the replacement to the 20gb and all they done was upgrade the hdd. The 40gb is suffering with the lack of backwards compatability and less usb ports like the 20gb sku. Thats why I'm waiting for them to release the 80gb sku that was ment to be out to replace the 60gb when it became obsolete in December.

Good to see that there is the usual mickey taking out of other games, i.e. Assasins Greed and a refernce to a t.v. series with Jimmy Nail aufwiedersaine pet (sp). Mods could we have a spoiler warning put on the threas please as the info has got beyond what rockstar want us to know and has become leaked data.

same here but you know what MS are like for taking longer than what they say.

Blu-ray copy protection 'cracked' By Jim Reed Newsbeat technology reporter A company claims it has cracked the anti-piracy technology on Blu-ray discs. Slysoft says the new version of its AnyDVD programme allows users to make "backup security copies" of high definition movies. The claim is a blow to Sony which developed the Blu-ray format. The discs are protected by an anti-piracy system called BD+. When it launched in 2007, developers boasted it would not be cracked for 10 years. Sony declined to comment. SlySoft says it hacked the BD+ technology in November. It decided to wait for the result of the "format war" between Blu-ray and HD DVD before releasing a full product. BD+ is designed to react to attempts on its technology. Its developers say they can re-lock copied discs, making them unusable in the future. SlySoft reckons it is prepared for this. Peer van Heuen from the company said: "The worst-case scenario is our boss locks us up with only bread and water in the company dungeon for three months until we are successful again."

I do like the GTA Alfa they are very nice cars will be interesting to see what they do with the next one. I've thought about getting one a few times but then thought of the reliability issues. Yes they did and they sound the nuts, heard one on the loudest exhuast compatition at MGfest. I think there was only a limited run of them.

To start off its a good idea and should have been implemented a long time ago. I know that games have got there own rating system off sorts but tbh no one really takes any notice of it. But saying that the 18 rated games have always carried it and a few other titles have volentaraly put PG rating on them (think most wanted did). I will say now what I always have said its down to the parents. This move will not stop all parents buying them as some buy 18 rated films for their kids. I owned all GTA games, I got GTA with a bundle when I got my PS1 when I was about 12/13years old and hasn't made me want to do anything wrong. Its all down to the parent to make the decision and not start complaingin about the extreme content of it after buying it which alot of parents do. What made me laugh about the report I heard about this was the 2 games they used as examples where GTA and Manhunt (which ok are probably the most extreme especially Manhunt) but they should use other examples.

Tough one but I like all 3. But I would lean towards Audi

I read about this today in the sun and wondered where they would get one from. Its a big incentive to win the championship. A Twingo??

Don't like it I prefer the old one wa alot better imo. OK this one has got some new features but all in all I think its not very good and they could have spent our £40 subscription alot better.

Plans for mobile use on flights Haters of mobile phones could soon be able to add "I'm on the plane" to "I'm on the train" as their least-favourite overheard phrase. Ofcom said plans were now in place to allow passengers on UK-registered aircraft to use their own mobiles while in flight in European airspace. For some time, some airlines have offered passengers in-flight telephone services via the airline's own network. Ofcom said that the new arrangement will involve passengers' own mobiles connecting to an on-board base station. Both of these must be switched off during take-off and landing to ensure they do not interfere with mobile networks on the ground. Once the aircraft reaches a minimum height of 9,840ft (3,000m), the system may be switched on by the cabin crew. Mobile users will then be able to use the aircraft's network service to make and receive calls which will be routed via a satellite link to the network on the ground. Calls will be billed through passengers' normal service providers. Ofcom said the new arrangement will be subject to approval by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and by the UK's Civil Aviation Authority. The decision has been developed jointly with other EU countries and follows an Ofcom consultation on the proposals published in October 2007. Ofcom said: "The safety of passengers is paramount and mobile systems on aircraft will only be installed when they have secured approval by EASA and the CAA. "If such approval has been secured it will be a matter for individual airlines to judge whether there is consumer demand for these services." From BT Yahoo News

Would it have something to do with Forza not having any F1 cars where as GT has had them since GT3.

It will probably appear when he gets a PS3 which is when GT5 is out. not many more months to wait now lol

I thought GTA originally started on the PC then went onto the original Playstation. (Nugget perhaps :p) I agree with you there about wanting a physical copy to have a collection. Also with having a collection if your HDD was to corupt you still have it where as if you download you wouldn't. Well listening to Newsbeat today people who download tv series and movies are having fines on there bill from there ISP from going over there download limits. As you I had a PS1 then PS2 but as the PS3 took ages and was delayed ened up getting a 360 but I will be getting a PS3 as sson as the release either GT5 and the getaway or the 80gb sku that was ment to replace the 60gb sku. But they only ever talk about one game COD 4 and the online so even tho they are promoting it its still biased to the hardcore gamer. SKODA'S ARE GOOD CARS!!!! My dads had a Favourite (after he wrote off his escort), then a Fabia and now a Felicia and they have caused him hardly any trouble at all compared to other cars and lets be honest they are just rebadged VW's now.

Well now Forza 3 has been mentioned I will say that GT 6 is going to have damage. I read it somewhere and Polyphony has said that they want to get it spot on before they implement it. Its too late for GT5 to have and theres strong rumours that GT6 will have it.

Ok I am wrong, its a 430. It was hard to tell from them pics above tho

But by doing this they are competing with apple who already have a big share in this market and have launching/launched a movie/tv download service, can't remember if its HD tho but I'm sure it will be.

I think its a 360 but might be wrong. I think its a shame they died but the ydone it themselves, if they didnt open the taps on there cars then it wouldn't have happened but then thats the risk you take.
