The LWIFOTI Thread

24404 Views 679 Posts Social
In a possibly futile attempt to keep the number of erroneus threads down, I think its a good idea to have a thread for those interesting "Look what I found on the Internet" moments.

This is not another silly thread for jokes (but feel free to let rip) but more an attempt by me to repair some of the damage I have done to this site with my non-sensical ramblings of which I think I am on the brink of repeating as I type this.

The links can be related to anything, even games/console info if you so wish.

I'll kick it off with this, looks like a blu-ray player for xbox360 is in development, by lite-on as well, (good company)

www.digitimes.com/

And here's a release schedule for both xbox 360 and ps3 for a comparative look at the showdown between the consoles.

www.gamepro.com/

anyone else find anything interesting?

note: I know theres a news section but sometimes you see things which aren't game related or do not warrant their own news item

Sorry if this thread steps on any of the gigantic toes that seem to laying about this site.





can we then jabber on for the next couple of pages about these 'LWIFOTI's

yeah of course me hearty

just a "Look at this, discuss?" type of deal.

could even be when some band releases a new album or seomthing...

If GT5 isn't that great I'll scrap the idea of getting a ps3 and get a lite-on bluray attachment instead.

How bigger difference is 1080p to 1080i, unfortunately I dont have the HDMI xbox. Thats the reward you get for jumping straight on-board...

putting p up against i side by side, the human eye 9.5 times out of 10 wont notice the difference.
haha, but on the subject, i don't have an elite console. so when this blu-ray player actually comes out will i need one?
i am way pi***d that the blu-ray won the battle... no one supported it at first except samsung and sony when it first came out, but i think it had something to do with samsung having a lot of weight to throw around.
Sweet, as long as thats the case! :-)

Anyone hear about WoW on console..??

never played it myslef as I see pc gaming as too much of a commitment, but if it comes to console who knows, esp. if consoles can take part in the PC games world. (large audience)

GT5 is awesome. Drifting is real hard but it is possible. I've tried setting up the cars for drifting but, since I know absolutely nothing about setting up a car for drifting, it's not working too well.

I have to say the game is REAL good though (this is prologue, the demo, so if I imagine the full game will be epic). The one annoying thing though is the F1 car with my steering wheel. My wheel has 900 degrees of rotation, F1 cars don't. There is no option to switch 900 degree mode off. This = Epic fail as the F1 car is not as responsive as it could be...

Anyway... This is an anything goes thread right? RIGHT?

1 in 10 people have only 1 eye
Yeah, thats about the jist of it.

Thanks for the GT5 info, for drift, set up the front suspension 50% stiffer than the rear, should help things. also have a bit of ride height (clearance, not lowered) to give the car some squat travel.

Mac girl of the month, Oh yeah.

Wait wasn't that an April fools?

Edit: Sorry for the double post...
Yeah but it got me good.
just realised the blu-ray xbox 360 is a whole new unit that is smaller, how many versions of the damn console do they want to release...

*sigh*
well its official, I'm not getting a ps3 cos I want this.

Oh, but GT5... damn it!

looks like another 1k to spend on consoles, its never ending.

Heres to hoping all the peripherals are exactly the same and interchangeable so I dont need to buy 4 more controllers.

I dont think it will ever be as popular as the PC version and i dont think it will work as good as the PC version either.
WoW for consoles!

I had WOW demo'd for me the other day on the new 3D screens. Takes your eyes a little while to adjust but it looks heaps cool.
