Two wows to start of,
I go away for a few days and come back and there has been over 300 posts not bad.
But biggest of all i bought myself an X-Box with Halo on monday!And WOW. I'm sorry all u gamecubers but nothing stands up to the quality the game play the graphics the sheer awesomeness (proberley not a real word) of it!Also got Tony Hawk 3 and Ricky Carmicheal? Moto cross got 3 controllers and am playing multiplayer halo with my house mates it's ace. You can even play the whole of the single player campaign with a friend in a two player cooperative mode, and to top it off u can link 4 yes 4 X-Box's together for a huge 16 player mulitplayer death fest!

Sup people!
Firsly, thanks for the help with finding the SW. Version menu! Testing features are really good! My SW. Version is R2B025. Is it worth me going down to my local CPW and upgrading?
Secondly, I received my HPM-10 MP3 player this morning straight from eshop! I used to own an SL45 which had the MP3 player built in - slightly more discreet than this jobbie! My SL45 is R.I.P after I cracked the screen and received the T68i as a replacment  . Luckily I still have my 64Mb MMC and USB card reader left over cos the 32Mb card is way too small to suffice. Also the parallel port reader is extremely big and bulky, too many cables and wires. The USB version is only slightly bigger than an MMC card and three times as fast as the parallel port reader.
Sound quality is pretty good for £30, can't complain . Only thing is that when the phone is in your pocket, the MP3 player can unclip from the base of the phone quite easily, especially when you sit down  .

Nope XBox is pants. All you do in Halo is go around shooting little fury things! Wait for Mario Sunshine on GC and if Mario64 is anything to go by it will be one of the best games ever! Also look at rogue leader i mean the graphics and gameplay cant be beaten, its better than the films! Res Evil and Zelda soon to! Ed

wat are you on - .... XB0ll0x?? What a load of crap... Microsoft should stick to what they are good at and keep making software that doesnt work properly and gives us more Blue Screens of Death's.
Nintendo has always made quality games - if you want a true FPS try playing Counter-Strike - granted its only a mod but you dont need 4 XB0ll0x's to play a decent true multiplayer/team game. I mean its essentially just a PC without a keyboard. So your better off getting a crap bargain basement PC and shoving in a high end graphics card... Much easier and prob cheaper.
- You can prob tell Im not a big fan of MS....

Games consoles used to rule my life, but gradually let it slip. Instead discovered music, and GIRLS!!!!
I was really proud when I owned a Super Nintendo, Sega Megadrive, Gameboy and an Atari Lynx (anybody remember that?!) at the same time! And at the same time lusting after a Neo-Geo!
Now all Ive got is a Sony PS2 which is gathering dust beneth the TV. Started using it recently though as a new house-mate brought his games along.
Wots the Gamecube all about then?
As you can see, im way off the pace of current games consoles!!! |

I'm steering clear of consoles. Stopped at the Dreamcast (Still good for 4 players - Sanfransico Rush anyone?)
The only thing I have at the moment is a gameboy (great during uni lectures, especially since I bought the afterburner backlight ). I also bought a 256M flash card which can store enough roms to last me a while! (I play too many games!).
Nothing beats the PC IMO. With a console you can sit down and play for 20-30 minutes then go feed the cat, but nothing compares to a coupl'a hours of Warcraft III or Neverwinter... Escapism is at a much higher level with a keyboard and mouse

i gotta agree with reefa, PC's run tings for real! with my PC i've got the power to do anything. At the moment i'm recording an album to be released on my own record label, and when i get bored of making tunes i slip into the world of Myst or whatever else i've got to hand... then theres the internet. i aint no computer goon but i got enuff respect for these tings man!

Hey lads....
Ah, the lynx rocked. I've still got mine somewhere... beat the shite out of a game gear.
I've got a PS2 now, which I don't really touch since I got bored with GT3 at about 75%.
Cross-posting from another thread:
I called a SE service centre in Langley on the off-chance today, and they said they'd received a fax from Orange just a minute before saying that they were at last allowed to do the upgrade! The girl I spoke to at Orange didn't know anything about it (she even called another department), but told me to go ahead with it. I think Orange might have lifted the ban!
I'll get my phone back tomorrow morning... I hope it still works
Cya lads.
