Ok, thanks for clearing that up, I presumed it'd be cheaper online. Weird.@ zackblue & Soriku, that is the case with the first link, but not with the other 2....

UK Price Raise for Wii?!

in Nintendo Discussion on 20 October 2007

Can anyone clear this up for me? I was doing some research for where the cheapest place to get a Wii was, as I was thinking of getting one, and was shocked when the average price seemed to be ~£250, which is virtually exactly the same as the 360 Premium. I swear the price used to be £180, has Nintendo raised it due to large...

The F1 demo that I tried for PS3, has some spectacular graphics, tho as there were only 2 tracks, I could give you my opinion on it lol, but from what I've played it was very good....

WEWdeadeye said: I am a huge fan of Raikkonen and McLaren, it was great when they were together, still a fan of him at Ferrari. This whole season I have been wondering how McLaren cars ALL OF A SUDDEN became the most reliable in F1 after being one of the least reliable, which in turn has cost Raikkonen his chance of a driver's title these last two years!!! Interesting, I dont see how they could...

It's ridiculous IMO, if this was Super aguri and Spyker, then no one would care, (in Bernie Ecclestone's words) they should have just fined them, IMO. Though it's perfectly right the drivers didn't get punished, after all they had nothing to do with the incident....

The "If XXX console came out at $yyy.yy price argument", and why its WRONG.

vizunary said: stof said: If a XXX console came out, Believe me, it would sel well regardless of price. i want one ;) sqrl, it's a stupid argument, but your reasoning against it is flawed. it's just a what if scenario anyways, and no intelligent person takes it seriously. it's like saying that Ferrari Enzos would outsell Mustangs if they were the same price, well no shite sherlock.

Like other people have said, only if the Wii taps into China/India does it have a chance of this, though I would write off emerging markets, like eastern Europe and Russia....

And atm, the only way they can be improved, is by replacing the phone lines with fibre optics, and frankly, that's going to take longer than 2009! Verizon has already started with fiber optics. It's called FiOS. It's not available everywhere, but is available in some places now. No need to wait for 2009....

What if Sony had made Different choices with the PSP and PS3-fun discussion

in Gaming Discussion on 08 September 2007

And I reckon they should have got rid of the multimdeia functions for the PSP, saved some money, also, doing that, they could make sure that the memory card for the PSP had limited functionality (wouldn't be needed for multimedia sutff), and be able to reduce piracy....

What if Sony had made Different choices with the PSP and PS3-fun discussion

in Gaming Discussion on 08 September 2007

Yep. If Sony had had a Blu-Ray drive, like the 360 had an optional HD-DVD drive, then cut the price, it would have done a lot better. Though, I don't think getting rid of mulitmedia capabilities would be a good thing, because there's not any extra hardware for that, as a standard HD was a good idea....

Warhawk 107k- Lair 92k/ STRANGE numbers

in Sales Discussion on 08 September 2007

That amount of sales for both games is good, especially as that isn't a full week, and as many people have said, no one knows the amount of download sales, so I fail to see the problem. And I'm personally waiting for the retail version (I don't have a headset), and that doesn't come out for nealry 2 weeks!...

Where on earth are you from, South Korea?! As I don't know a single person that has an internet connection to enable them to do that. Heck, I downloaded linux the other day, and it took me like 2hrs, just for 500mb or so! Unlike an HD movie, which might be something like 30gb, which would take 120hrs! Until internet speeds are vastly improved, that won't happen. And atm, the only way they can be...

@ookaze, I'd agree that we're best off worrying about when all channels are 720p/1080p, than worrying about getting UHDV. When UHDV and superb sound quality are the norm in cinemas first, then maybe we can consider transferring it into the home. But before that, then some way of storing it has got to be figured out, as UHDV uses up a lot more than can be fitted onto current formats, ie...
