my mate walked into a hmv in london and picked up a ps3 2 hours after launch no problem, you couldnt get hold of a 360 for weeks after for retail price and even longer if you wanted to walk into a shop and pick one up. Same with the Wii, wonder if sony will get the message that people just arent gonna pay that much for something that is not clearly superior to a console thats been out for 16 montby matthewp - Other Games
The controller just has rumble which is different to force feedback so I dont think it'll work.by matthewp - Grand Prix 3

You can currently get PS3's off ebay here for around £300, and all PS3 games are region free... I think I read somewhere that they will eventually be region encoded (not sure on that but I wouldnt go importing one!)by matthewp - Other Games
they usually have a processing fee on top of that but not that much! still the UK tour tickets were £32 so its still good. You won't regret it they're the best live band on the planetby matthewp - Off-Topic
indeed. Anyway they're paying him enough he should bloody well do what they tell him!by matthewp - F1
Well I wasnt seriously saying Trundle was world class Most entertaining footballer i've watched though, if you watch that video you'll notice something like the first 8 clips are all from the same match (against Huddersfield) Trundle wound them up so much they ended up with 9 men lol. btw. if you watch that vid, make sure you see it to the end, that goal in the Millenium was most defby matthewp - Other Sports
Ronaldo's had an incredible first half of the season and he's a great player, but only if he does the same for the next 5 years will I consider him alongside Henry, not beforeby matthewp - Other Sports
LT10 the artist formally known as Lee Trundle (best lower league player anyway ) Best current player in the world I would say is Henry, Ronaldinho is incredibly talented but if I could have one of them in my side it would be Henry everytime.by matthewp - Other Sports

Yeah nice watching them climb the leagues, not so nice watching them go the other way The forth round draw was today, our reward for hammering premiership opponents...bloody Chester or Ipswich away we've now had 9 away draws in a row in the FA cup!by matthewp - Other Sports
anyone see match of the day last night? Swansea stuffed sheff utd in their own ground haha (I was there, the support was brilliant never stopped singing, the home fans hardly made a sound) All Warnock and those on motd mentioned was that sheff had made 8 changes from they're best side, failing to mention that we had three of our first choice midfield, our left back, and our best striker alby matthewp - Other Sports
would this be the one where we had the huge fuckoff accident on the final corner? caused by me braking way to late.... im dl now] yeah that was the one where I drove straight through all the carnage at la source unscathed and went on my merry way bit like the one at Silverstone in that vid (its me where I go on the grass coming onto hangar straight trying to pass but lose momentum, but theby matthewp - Off-Topic
In the football league (english leagues below the premiership) they have a system where teams can only use a maximum of half it's turnover for wages.by matthewp - Other Sports
to be fair that's basically what Arsenal are all about, i've never seen a team pass the ball better even brazil. They didnt show that at its best against Chelsea because thats what Chelsea do, stop teams playing (they do it very well but it aint pretty) edit: p.s. just got back from Swansea, won 5-0 oh yeahby matthewp - Other Sports
As there was only one brazilian involved, Gui's opinion is automatically discarded as totally blinkeredby matthewp - Other Sports
The way production has been going you won't be able to get hold of one for months anyway so I wouldnt think about it yet, to be honest i'll be very surprised if they go ahead with the March launch, there's rumours of it being put back till September but they're just keeping it quiet until after christmas for obvious reasons.by matthewp - Other Games

They were playing Black Holes stuff mostly, actually on a couple of occasions they came out, played the entire album in order then came out for an encore of about 6 other songs. Usually they either play one or no songs from Showbiz, all the main songs from origin (plug in baby, bliss, newborn, sometimes citizen erased) and ditto for absolution (time is running out, hysteria, stockholm syndrome,by matthewp - Off-Topic
Yeah I got two standing tickets for the first night (16th) Originally they only announced one date but due to the demand they're doing two. Went to see them a few weeks ago in Cardiff International Arena too, they're absolutely brilliant live, should be a hell of an experience in Wembley with 75,000 peopleby matthewp - Off-Topic
"The next generation starts when we say so" So when will it start then? they must have said it was last November but put that in the small print or something :P What this comparison doesnt allow for is that there's nothing on the ps3 which comes close to Gears of War visually, of course there will be and its because the 360 has been out for a year but people saying that tby matthewp - Other Games
GT HD screens are basically exactly the same as the GT4 screens for ps2 (it is the same game engine just in HD) so cant see many people getting too excited about that.by matthewp - Other Games
And Does ythe 360 it work on a TFT monitor to ? Yeah it does, looks great Personally i've seen absolutely nothing about the ps3 which would make me want one let alone actually consider paying through my arse for one. The Wii is interesting just because its going for something original and the only exclusive titles i've heard about that i'm interested in are for the 360 (Maby matthewp - Other Games
has anybody tried using the Xbox 360 on HD mode via the VGA cables, on their monitors? since my tv isnt hd-ready i thought i could use my monitor (samsung 215tw 21" widescreen) to run it in hd-mode. Yeah i'm running it on a 19" Viewsonic LCD monitor, looks fantastic.by matthewp - Other Games
Haven't seen that quote, but I guess Fergie meant by scoring against Man U? no he meant that it was a great free kickby matthewp - Other Sports
Yeah nice one Southend on beating the Manure! Didn't see it though unfortunately. Eastwood is a quality player seen him against Swansea a few times (we came up from league 2 with Southend and came within a penalty shootout of joining them with successive promotions) I think someone should give him a chance in the prem. I thought Fergie's comment that "he'll probably never scoby matthewp - Other Sports
