New cheaper XB360s on the way?

No, im saying that Wireless networks can drop connection. Though so can wired. But more chance of a wireless connection dropping.

correct, theres no chance of your microwave or any other random device making your connection slow down or drop

That being said, I do use the wireless adapter with my sexbox and it rarely drops.
 
So it's not actually wireless? :lol:

FFS!
You can buy a wireless adapter for the 360 if it's in a separate room however mine isn't so using a cable from my router it goes to the xbox. Not sure what you're laughing at Weaste.

Because he was talking about having wireless capability! Not everyone has their router next to their TV (I certainly don't want it there) or wants a cable going around the walls of at least one room. That's the general idea of WiFi.

It's the only place I can have my router. In fact I'm surprised my room hasn't blown up with the amount of electrical products i've got switched on in here. I'm the cause of global warming.

Yes, I know, you're young still, you have a room.

I don't have a room as such, apart from the one I took that picture of my cock between my legs in, which is sort of my study until we have visitors, when two beds fold out from nowhere. All of my technical shit books are in there and my PC, and I like to have the modem next to my PC, as I need more guaranteed speed from that than I do for the PS3 sat on top of my HiFi next to my TV. My "study" is also the only place where nobody will come in 95% of the time if I close the door.

This is one of my dafter books (it's quite old though now).

I'm not taking a picture of my bookshelf, because it's loaded with empty beer cans.
 
The beer shelf sounds the best part about that post.

Weaste the ultimate computer geek.
 
It's a book I had to buy for my graphics course at University. I was actually very crap at it at the time, I got about 60% or so, but my understanding has upped a bit since then. I always find it weird that when I struggle to understand something, about 2 years after when I needed to know it well, it all pops up in my head and I know it all without wanting to.
 
I've just found a brilliant deal. Xbox (premium) for less than 250 euro when trading in a console and a certain amount of games.

Great value? I think so. Although, it doesn't come with a game. But I can use the rest of my left over games to get some money off a game or two.


Happy days!

Whatever you do get it somewhere that will give you a 3 year warranty with it.

Good point. Had forgotten about a warranty. I'll email them again to make sure they have a warranty. Cheers.
 
Weaste, I've found something that you'll just love!



Just skip to about the 2 minute mark!
 
That it was too expensive because of Blu-ray? It was delayed because of Blu-ray, I could say that the bloke doesn't know what he is talking about.

Do you want to know why the PS3 has so seriously now come down in price?

Cos no one was buying it.

No, no. I know that the PS3 is probably better (although it's only a matter of opinion). I'm not arguing that it's not! I just gave you that link so you could have a look. You obviously know your stuff on it (unlike me, I don't understand half the things that have been said in this thread).

because they need to make some room in the warehouse for their next project, and it is full to the rafters with unwanted ps3's?
 
The new model we now know requires 100W less power. It has simply taken them a year to process shrink it. I expect that the entire thing is now 65nm. With the removal of GS, 40% shrink of major silicon, less cooling, less power, Blu-ray diodes now significantly cheaper to manufacture, they are now at the point to do this.
 
If you couldn't guess that the price of a console would drop significantly from the launch price over the first year or two then I despair.

I will probably hang off getting one until after Christmas when I hope there is another price cut. I don't like the lack of backwards compatibility mind.

Can you explain that to us thickos who don't speak your language ?

cheers.
 
Its funny. If Microsoft had launched a console in March and dropped the price by October after telling customers they wouldnt - then im sure we would be hearing how evil MS lie to customers.

But it obviously would come down.

And it will come down again over the next 6 or 12 months. Sony want to win the BlueRay vs HD DVD war as well so they will take losses to do so because the payoff in games and BlueRay films will be so massive if they win.
