I'm just waiting for bf: vietnam to finish downloading. Lost my discs somewhere and my iso's seem to be corrupt. Other than that was playing cod 2 till i got a brush error which i can't seem to fix. Also slowly working through splinter cell conviction. I like my sneaky silenced weapon games :) Still got sniper ghost warrior 2 to install. Should be fun. Shame FarCry 3 was so short, that was great fun :)

And yeah, 250w might be pushing it :D although saying that the newer cpu's should be a hell of a lot more power efficient than my q6600, mine isn't even G0 stepping. My quad core gaming rig runs on a 350w just fine, and my dual core gaming rig on a 200w without a hitch, but iirc you like to overclock your shit and such.

Consoles are shite for folks and kids who don't know any better, they're allways built around obsolete technology and over priced.

I've got one of these in mine at the moment......

......and for £100 it pisses all over the PS4 that isn't even out yet!


As for your 250w, not very long I would have thought. Put it in mine and I'd blow it up, the card alone needs 129w idle and 254w to run a game!

Consoles have their advantages, but yeah, more expensive, perform like absolute shite. I use consoles for those games which just arn't developed for pc due to the multilayer, things like SSX tricky :) But i played advanced warfighter on my pc, and then on a 360, the 360 looked like it was rendered with cardboard.

Aye, consoles that are capable of 1080p @ 60fps are a far cry away yet.

The PS4 will do 720p @ 60FPS while my HD6870 will do beyond 1080p at well over 80+ FPS (on only 2 gig of RAM) in 3D across a 6 monitor stack with the eye candy settings whacked up!

Indeed. Will be isnteresting to see what the new slew of consoles are like, but as it is, the ps3 and 360 are a complete joke. Have you watched youtube video of far cry 3 on the 360? :D Heck, even my tablet can run unreal 3 engine...

Well all I can say is I can build a PC brand new that will piss all over any console with the same budget, standard!


And games are free...;)

Indeedy. and that's not taking into account the cost of the laptop or computer the console gamer will also then go out and buy so they can use the internet properly.

And as you say, games are free :) I don't play online games so there's never an issue with online protection like steam or uplay or whatnot :)

been using my mates old mans for over a year now
all the sports channels with ESPN and the f1 channel :)

I've got standard freeview, basic package Sky and Polish satellite.

The Polish guy (dodgy techy fucker, I like him) that installed my dish for the Polish satellite can even do me full package Sky (pay per view the lot) through the back door of the Sky servers for £7 a month!

I'll be on that soon.

yeah Iv bought off Holland and Czech republic they are both a lot cheaper than the uk sellers,just remember to start small and stay within escrow or you could get scammed never finalise early as any legit seller will offer small bits till you gain there trust and get buyer feedback :)
