better at not-watching Blu-ray movies? That's what I'll be using it for ;)

Ben Collins has already appeared for the show as Ben Collins, so doubtful he's the only Stig. More likely it's him, plus a bunch of the BTCC drivers that they often have on.

No need to - I'll almost certainly be getting one anyway. Fabulous thing. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by 'going next gen'? Blu-ray isn't something I'm going to need for quite some time, and I'm more likely just to get a cheap drive for the PC if I ever do go for it. Graphics-wise I'm already disappointed by both consoles to be honest compared to the PC - while I'm sure games will get better graphically, so will the PC, so neither are really 'next gen' in that respect for me. That's what I'm trying to do, hence listing the kind of games I like at the start ;) Cheers.

Does the PS3 have any decent RPGs that I can't get on the PC?

Don't worry, I have an automatic filter that ignores advice from anyone who just says 'get X, trust me' without giving good reasons. :) Thanks for the opinions so far guys.

Well, I might soon (after the price drops) be able to finally get a modern console, but I'm really struggling which one to go for. So I wondered if the TDU-C collective could help out? :) The games I'd play would be driving, beat-em-ups, maybe platform if there was anything good out there (beyond good and evil for eg.) and maybe RPG if it didn't look like it would make it to the PC eventually. My problem is I've tried a couple of games on both the X360 and PS3 and been pretty dissappointed - perhaps my expectations are too high? On the X360 I tried Forza 2 - I liked the feel of the cars, I loved the car selections and class choices, but I was dissappointed mostly with the controls - I couldn't customise them to anything close to my favourite control scheme (with the X360 controller on PC), but I was also a little dissappointed with the visuals. I also tried Dead or Alive 4, and found it to be really aweful - controls weren't great, it wasn't responsive, and it just didn't seem to flow nicely. Soul Calibre 2 on the Gamecube was even better than this! Also the box I tried was really noisy. On the PS3 I tried Burnout Paradise City - I enjoyed the freeroam and thought it was a fun game overall, but I really didn't like the feel of the cars - wasn't really a driving game as much just a fun game. Visually it was poor IMHO - reminds me of other need for speed games. And the controller was really uncomfortable. I also tried Little Big Planet - it's okay for a platformer, but I prefer games like that to have a decent storyline, so I probably wouldn't get it. I loved how quiet the PS3 was though.

Williams' looks kind of normal:

Ugly duckling award goes to Renault :p :

I've seen loads more shots than that - looks great top down.

New McLaren out now too. Looks nice, but real car will be completely different (as with Ferrrari, Toyota).

Neverwinter Nights 2/Mask of the Betrayer/Storm of Zehir Oblivion/Shivering Isles Gothic 3 Test Drive Unlimited GTR:Evolution Bioshock Fallout 3 PuzzleQuest:Challenge of the Warlords X3:Reunion/Terran Conflict Supreme Commander/Forged Alliance Galactic Civilizations II Those are only my top top choices (PC only too), there are plenty of other fantastic ones.

How do you leave an internet webpage? Surely you leave it each day already?

How long have you got? :p

Nice - which shop did you get it from so early?

^What kind of framerate are you getting with that?

At the moment, yes, lots. But they've always maintained it was a loss-leader at first.

They need it to be - they're losing so much money elsewhere, something like a loss of $1 billion this last year. Making $12 million from HOME (if they can keep that up) isn't even going to scratch that.

I bought both my copies (at different times) for £15 :D Really looking forward to the DLCs now.

So you're suggesting max of three, but only one of the same subject? Sounds overly complicated to me :p If I have three photo's to post I really don't mind waiting over three days to post them all ;)

No way - I've never heard of blue-green colour blindness before - you're very special :D

Seriously I do think there's a huge amount of room for improvement. There's no such thing as a loyal gamer.

Next thing they'll say scotch does the same.. that'll be the final straw :p

Fake pictures are fake, and the production version can't reach anything like 225mph, but those things aside it looks lovely :D Just what we need in a global economic meltdown :p

In 5 years time you will look back on this statement and feel very silly :p

One. Could be called 'photo-a-day', or 'photo-highlights' etc.
