Dunno if this is new or old but it beats working http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/40255643/

The context of that statement was in deciding between the two formats now not whether that amount of storage wil ever be used. Like I said Rob different issue

no its not Rob. In this case we have two formats. The issue is why buy one over the other now and pay a premium for it based on a function there wont possibly be any real need for in the short/medium term. The winner wont be decided on by storage capacity it'll be decided by mass market entertainment. Sony are banking on using videogames to leverage Blu ray. Theres very few games that use the full capacity of a 9 Gig DVD nevermind a 50. Movies on HD-DVD are better quality currently because of better compression, not capacity. Both will have a hard time imo. The consumer wont see the benefit like they have with the jump to DVD. Im not saying we wont be able to fill up a 50 Gig disk but by the time we get a winner out of this we could very well have moved on to digital distribution or another form of media like Lazarus points out

not quite the same issue Rob but nevermind

dont think it will be an issue as theres no reason why anyone needs that amount of storage. Tbh Ive got to question your sanity going for that at the moment. What on earth do you need 50Gig disks for? Could have just bought 10 DVD-Rs for a few quid instead

Their standard pay off is 1 week per year of service iirc. Happy Face I'd seriously recommend moving on.

You know this will probably open up that can of worms labelled 'wrongly convicted' but when things like this happen to confessed criminals I can't help but think they should all be allowed to have at each other. Think about it- lower the prison population, act as a deterent... come on... most of the population wouldn't look at being arse raped as a plus, and I'm sorry if I can't help but say that someone of that caliber deserves all the pain they reap considering all the pain they caused. Lethal injection for all criminals over the age of twelve would be much more efficient. Yes BUT...in this day and age of reality TV having a few cameras recording the ensuing ruckus would mean a top money draw for whatever network carried it. So not only do you have self governing/punishment among the criminal populace, but entertainment for the masses as well. Two birds, one stone, sick mind. The Running Man or maybe something along the lines of Battle Royale. I'd watch it

theres ways round it

A couple of people who I used to work with are in the same boat. Its disgraceful, theres still a lot of contractors about and they took on a load of lets just say less skilled CSA staff (on better packages than most of the standard staff) not so long back. Nevermind the multitude of people on that account who just do fuck all. I remember last time this went round when I was still there after the dust had setteld I think they managed to get rid of 1 person. It might not be worth much but join the union, every little bit could help. Im sure theyre signed up to an agreement about staff redundancies which says it shoudl be contractors first before any permies What galls the most is ALS are advertising for 20 vacancies. They're desparatate. One of the people I know is still in ALS. I've heard the batch team have been earmarked to be outsourced to India and ALS is full of contractors and people who do fuck all, some are both. Have they mentioned being redeployed? Get in touch with HR. The more I hear about it the less the whole thing makes sense. Doesnt surpise though with that place, its always been a farce

First hour of J&SBSB is pretty cack, but it gets going. I think completely the opposite. All the funniest bits are in the first half. The hitcher taking one in the mouth, Jays rant when Affleck tells him about the movie, posting on the internet, Jay going down on Carrie Fisher, the clit commander.. just off the top of my head. It goes a bit flat after they escape from Will Ferrell imo. The Good Will Hunting 2 bits funny but apart from that the second halfs a bit meh. Of course its all one huge in joke.

Fugazi at a sweat dripping off the ceiling Riverside. Ice Cube at Bradford University 92 wasnt bad either. Kids were getting jumped on and mugged all over campus.

aye looked amazing, another definite buy.

I saw a doc yesterday afternoon which was spot on with everything the showed last night. There was no mention of a PES demo on that though. You can go download the con presentation from xbox.com. Worth it for the Assasins Creed walkthrough.

from the official announcement last night Ive just noticed your first post in this too. You have your 360 connected through HD scart? Didnt think there was such a thing. Does your parents TV allow a component connection through scart then?

where did you get that price from? I heard it was going to be £199 with 2 dvds. A rip off when the american one is going for $200 (£110) and the jap one is going for £90. We need to start kicking up a fuss so they drop the price No need to kick up a fuss thats the price. 200 Euro and £129.99

HD-DVD add on drive for Xbox 360 will be £129.99. Comes with a copy of King Kong HD-DVD too. Thats my choice made

A Camp

nah you ditch her

with the bundles MS have put together for the 360 I wouldnt be surprised if the price got dropped to that. They'd be stupid not too but then they all seem to be in the business of making stupid decisions for some reason. I'd go back to RE4 if I was you. You're about half way through

RE4 is still one of the most visually stunning games and thats on Gamecube. It not just about brute force and a higher res. Give me Zelda or Metroid Prime over many 360 games any day. Perfect Dark might be pushing more polys but the art style is wank. Its never going to compete with something like Gears of War but does it need to? The Gamecube is well capable anyway. Was playing F-Zero the other night and its still looks really good. 2 times RE4 is going to be good enough for me nicely selctive there on the screenshots you picked how about this Looks mint http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?type=wmv&id=13187 I could post up pics of 360 launch games which looked just as bad as Far Cry does. To nitpick , no you couldnt. Its an intentionally simple game and thats a really bad shot of it

I second that. I subtract 1 from that. I'm taking it back to zero. back up to one then from me and two because the missus thought it was gash as well. Actually make that 1.5, what does she know

is Mitchell and Webb repeated?

you a member of the lanky one? Especially with that sig. You lost by the way

I dont think anyone in their right mind could back Shepherd over the clubs media assasination of Bellamy. Shepherds involvement was worse than McDermotts, who do you think gave the go ahead for McDermott to do what he did? Great business decision
