luckypierre 0 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Played the demo of that game, and i was really impressed with the graphics on it. It almost tricked me into thinking it was a real boxing match on TV. 115932[/snapback] Ive got the full game rikko, its better than the demo, more repsonsive. Plays great online too.

luckypierre 0 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 So can you set up the system to 5.1 sound etc. Sounds complicated. 115960[/snapback] you can do that out of the box, all games have DD 5.1 sound, just stick an optical cable into an amp. DVD playback is shite though so I wouldnt use it as a DVD player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckypierre 0 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 (edited) ANyone got a media PC? I'm thinking that might be the way forward personally. 115964[/snapback] Ive got Windows Media Centre on my PC and a modded xbox as my media extender. I could use the 360 but the homebrew software on the xbox is better than MS's own and it plays more formats. MS have limited the movie playback using the 360 so you cant play divx, xvid (pirates) encoded videos. Some clever spark's come up with a program which gets round it already Edited April 6, 2006 by luckypierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 20971 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 You sound clued up LP. I feel like I'm getting increasingly getting left behind by this technology malarkey; increasingly I have to rely on friends to set up my network etc. So, has anyone got a Hal 9000 system yet? I've heard they're pretty user friendly; been out 5 years now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckypierre 0 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 its the way its going. I dont watch TV at all nowadays. Any shows that I am interested I dl'd onto my PC and watch them in my cinema room using the xbox. The end result will be having a little box in all rooms that can access your main media library on your pc. Will have to be a bit more careful where I save certain stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 43952 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Anyone seen the documentary The Corporation btw? There's a bit in it about how IBM made a fortune designing a punchcard system that documented the fate of all of the captured jews. It literally had checkboxes on there for how they were scheduled to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why oh why did I mention the HAL thing in my post? I had little hope of a serious answer to my question on here anyway, now I'm more likely to pay for this console with my lottery winnings.

I saw it all in one sitting - 2 hours long or so? I thought it was alright like, although I know what you mean. One of the companies featured on it was a client that I worked on for 3 years - Bechtel. The ones who set up a water treatment plant in Bolivia and then fleeced the locals, demanding they pay for their water. They had protests outside the office when I was working there about that.
