Any joy Diablo??

If it was legit I would still play offline until Monday night as then in half of the world it would be Tuesday. Unlegit players with chipped xboxs players online will get there XBox banned from XBL regardless to what game they are on. ATM theres at least 8 people online now on GTA and 786 who have played it (just the mgc signed up people)

Thought it was Argos. Nige when some are giving out trackers for the carriers (delivery people) they wont be in a warehouse. Well not the senders anyway, and most are being sent recorded which is normally next day.

Nige its Yippee ki-ay.......................! and the last two words are one word.

Dunno what I think about this yet, would be a good choice but i am unsure about the accents.

I remeber there was a thread about this a while ago (a say a while more like a year ago) and I wrote a massive essay. Basically I like anything and everything

Nige all what you said about the game not being dispatched and that is crap I know for a fact that several online retailers have already dispatched the game. You are right about financial penalties I can't remember who it was who was selling Halo early but they got stung, but they wont do it over 1 day, iirc people who ordered Halo online recieived a day or 2 early and nothing was done.

As fast as they are going up on sites they are being pulled by MS or R*. That live webcom is down atm aswell.

Depends on how MS want to be with it, normally most games they let you off if you are playing a day early, I think I have even seen people online 2 days before, but with this being an in demand title they might do something iirc they were going to with Halo until one of the stores sold in stupidly early. Personally if I got a proper copy delivered early I would play offline until the game is released.

I've heard loads of wierd stories like that and ones of babies being taken from hospital wards to be sacrificed and stuff. It is really bad but most cults and stuff are.

a copy and paste of part of what posted in another GTA thread as I'm Lazy. Its also worth noting that M$ have been known to ban people who play games before they are released. Thats why a few people who I know who somehow aquire games before release dates don't go on live again until the game has been released. http://forum.turboduck.net/showpost.php?p=62303&postcount=31 Edit: Just looked on MGC and found there is 4 people online playing it now. idiots http://www.mygamercard.net/tracker.php#GTAIV

This has been happening for about a week now, I haven't been recieving the notification emails. I've checked Spam and blocked senders etc and nothing. I've checked my usercp and it is set to instant notification. Any ideas anyone????

I have also heard that other online retailers have started to dispatch already. Its also worth noting that M$ have been known to ban people who play games before they are released.

Unfortubnately all the 60gb had run out at xmas and are not being restocked as sony has stopped production on the 60gb. I have heard (and posted somewhere) that 120gb and 160gb iirc are coming in a possible slim and light version at the end of this year but it is pure speculation atm i think.

Here be a video of it: Hybrid I think you are correct about the Jag XK and Aston, iirc they where V8's or maybe even V6's out the 'stang

As a few of you may recall, a few nights ago on the box I said about an XJ220 Transit but no one knew what I was on about, so here is the thread I said I'd make about it. It was built by TWR in the early 90's as a rolling testbed. It was lighter than the 220 & would hit 60 quicker! Top speed at Millbrook was 170 mph. One lucky engineer (Patrick Walker) used to take it home at weekends for milage accumulation. The van was built to drive in city traffic and was a very important part of the XJ220 development as they had the test track at Millbrook to do the high speed work but nothing would test the car in city traffic,and Jaguar would not like to have bad press with a 220 at the side of the road, so the van was built as a test bed for every day driving in gridlock conditions. It is basically an XJ220 with a Transit Bodyshell stuck on top of it. Heres a bit more I found from this PDF. Its an article from octane magazine. Video of Turbo glow from it and the niose it makes

How Desperate For GTAIV Are You? 20 Days Desperate? I personally can't think of anything else at the moment. GTAIV has burrowed into my brain like a little uzi-toting field mouse, and it's nibbling on my synapses in such a ticklish way that I can't concentrate. BUT - I'm not so desperate for the game that I would camp outside a game shop for twenty days. Yes, twenty. 20. Days. In Sweden, however, this is perfectly normal. Well, maybe not normal, but it is happening. A bunch of hardcore GTA nuts have been queing for the game since April 9, braving the Swedish spring in order to be first in line when the game goes on sale on April 29. They reckon it might even be a world record for queing for a videogame. It's impressive dedication, but haven't you heard of pre-order lads? Check out the photos at Danish supersite Xboxlife.dk!

Thats a good thing in my opinion, the less we know the more we'll be amazed

Depends some games you can some games you can't.

I'm waiting til a bigger hdd comes out with backwards compatability (even tho i still have a wroking ps2). Saying that iirc the 360 is getting a similar thing through BT Vision I'm sure I posted it somehwere on here. Edit: Here it is http://forum.turboduck.net/showthread.php?t=2801&highlight=xbox+vision

This has made me want a PS3 even more now. Just need them to release the 80gb sku or an even bigger hdd. For loads more info and Videos Click Here Update 4/9/08: PlayTV: hands on preview 4 Sep Announced just a year ago at Leipzig GC 2007, PlayTV is the long awaited add-on, which allows you to watch, record, rewind and pause live TV on your PS3 gaming console. Complete with a slick seven-day Electronic Program Guide (EPG), you can even schedule recordings to be completed whilst you use one of your PS3’s many other functions or, because of the unit’s nifty dual-tuner, you can even record whilst you are viewing another channel through PlayTV itself. It also incorporates funky Remote Play compatibility for use with the PSP on the move. Setting up the PlayTV unit for operation couldn’t be simpler - just pop the disc into your PS3 and follow the on-screen step-by-step instructions: - Connect your TV aerial to the PlayTV box - Connect the box to your PS3 using the USB cable that comes in the package - Scan for available freeview channels Full installation of PlayTV takes no more than five minutes, after which it gains its own place on the Cross Media Bar, and you’ll never need the disc again. Once you’re fully installed, you can launch straight into the EPG and are ready to kick back, relax and watch some TV. Sony has always been renowned for its easy-to-use, professional and well built user interfaces, and the one accompanying PlayTV certainly doesn’t disappoint. SCEE have built a slick and fast EPG, with graphics presented so well that scrolling through channels is simply a breeze, and avoids any lag that you might expect. The EPG is also extremely easy to use: you can view what’s on over the next few hours at a glance, and if you want to delve further into the details you can scroll across to the program of your choice, and more detailed program information will be displayed beneath the EPG table. On this same screen, you can set recordings by pressing select on your chosen program, providing a really fast way to plan your viewing. Another way you can set a recording is to use the ‘Find and Record’ utility. Accessed from the main carousel menu (which contains access to settings, the EPG, library etc) the Find and Record utility does exactly what the name suggests. You simply input a key word / words and any programmes due to air within the next seven days, which have these words are included within the title or description will be listed. You are then ready to schedule a recording or view the programme (if it’s airing there and then) at a press of a button. Also accessed from the main menu is your recording schedule – a simple list of all your planned recordings, which is especially useful if you need to remove a scheduled recording should you change your mind, or wish to record something else after realising the finale of Big Brother really isn’t going to be that exciting. The recording itself is totally independent, and can continue no matter what you’re doing. If you’re not in the PlayTV application itself, a notification similar to those telling you of new messages received will pop up in the top right-hand corner of the screen, letting you know what’s being recorded. As for game performance whilst PlayTV is recording, we tried out Resistance, Assassin’s Creed and MGS4 - none of which showed a visible degradation in framerate while recording Family Guy from BBC Three. The PlayTV Library, again accessed from the main carousel style menu, is where all of your recorded content is stored and accessed. Two handy views are available, one being a formal list and the other being a thumbnail view – showing a clip of each recording, similar to video thumbnails on the XMB. Another function accessed through the library is chasing playback, enabling you to start watching something you’re recording that hasn’t yet actually finished; for example, if your scheduled episode of Heroes starts at 9 and you get home at twenty past itching to catch up on the latest happenings as soon as possible, you can start watching the episode from the beginning and PlayTV will continue to record and effectively timeshift your viewing – perfect. One of the big talking points of PlayTV has always been it’s compatibility with the PSP; and while we can confirm you won’t be able to physically copy files over to the PSP’s Memory Stick Duo, there’s plenty of other functionality provided with Remote Play. Anywhere you can get a wireless internet connection, you’ll be able to hook up your PSP to your console sat at home; enabling you to not only watch stored recordings, but also watch live TV, schedule recordings, and… well, do anything that Play TV can do. Working overtime but don’t want to miss Neighbours? Or want to pause the evening news until you get in? Simply pull out your PSP, connect to your PS3 over wi-fi and do it remotely. As with any Remote Play functionality, the connection you’re using will need to be of a decent speed (especially for watching video), but in our field tests only slight pixilation occurred when using a shared connection at work - and hardly any when connected via a friend’s wireless router. Another potential use of Remote Play is the ability to watch TV wirelessly around the home. Bring your PSP into the kitchen whilst you cook dinner or do the washing up; watch Peep Show in bed; or even catch up on the news while you sun yourself (note: not for UK readers) in the garden. Finally - the controls. PlayTV incorporates two solutions for controlling your channel hopping: you can either use the PS3’s Sixaxis / DualShock 3 controller, or if you have the optional Blu-ray remote you can use that. Handily for those using the Blu-ray remote, PlayTV comes with an adhesive plastic sticker, which overlays onto your remote, adding controls for PlayTV whilst keeping the original ones there too. This works really well, and those expecting to use Play TV a lot might wish to consider investing in the remote – especially useful for simplifying for people not familiar with PlayStation control pads. The Sixaxis controller, however, is equally compfortable for those already used to it, and uses straight forward controls: up and down on the D-Pad to flick through channels, shoulder buttons to rewind / fast forward recordings; it will really take you no time to get used to using it at all. PlayTV adds yet more functionality to the PS3, and if you regularly use Freeview to watch TV then it’s definitely for you. The slick EPG and user interface nicely fit the PS3 experience, and those of you switching from an older Freeview box will be delighted with the difference. Its recording functions suit all needs, with every standard function incorporated – and while some people mention that there’s no ‘Series Link’ feature built in, you can simply set up a weekly recording for the same time-slot each week. The rarely found Find and Record feature is especially useful, and saves time and effort trawling through the EPG looking for the program you wish to schedule. Its Remote Play features work extremely well, and further increase the value of PlayTV enabling you to watch TV wherever you have an internet connection. In our humble opinion – well worth it. So, our question to you – what will be the first recording you set up through PlayTV? Tom Eccles From threespeech
