Right, so my girlfriend and her friend are here and we all want to play NSMBU. I have one wii-mote and a pro controller... but you can't use the gamepad to actually play multiplayer. Thanks a fucking bunch Nintendo!

Yeah, definitely the Z1C is the way to go, IMO. It's the only one in contention for replaying my 4S. But right now, as there's nothing in the same form factor as a 4S, I'm keeping it. That's worth more to me than a bit of extra power or a better screen.
Easily the best looking one, at least:
Love the feature set, hate the physical feel in my hand
One mini has an awesome rounded backplate, feels absolutley lush in the hand. But I don't think I can give them money again. Sure I'll get used to the feel of it, hard to try out without the anti theft shit on it too. So, looking out for any good prices on a Z1c I guess Cheers.

civ 5 is good fun. Many, many hours have gone into it.
It's a pain. Took me wii u to a friend's place and thought we had enough wiimotes but forgot about that with NSMBU so I had one less than needed.

Yeah, but there's also project Volta which further optimizes battery usage, so it sorts of evens out. When battery gets low, the new animations and features turn off automatically.
On the upside, get more friends and wiimotes and you can have 5 person multiplayer!

Anyone else having trouble streaming Netflix? This last week the quality doesn't go past 480 and regularly dips below. I used to be able to stream Super HD just fine
Well that's bullshit. Call them back.
Whilst no client I use tells me what stream I'm getting, I'm certainly not seeing 480p. Probably just the normal HD stream. And I haven't really seen performance dips.

I get super hd during the day, but drops at night to 720/480p. Very annoying. I really wish it was rock solid all the time.

I might give the PS3 app a try and see if that makes a difference. My browser gets HD after a little bit of buffering although not as crisp as what I had on my TV. I recall there being an update for the PS4 app recently so maybe something broke.
I've been watching Archer recently (great show!). It looks dreadful without those clean HD lines

Why don't you change then? I honestly can't remember the last time I've actually seen a branch IRL.
Also why am I only just now finding out about trading TF2 keys for games.
Just tweeted by AJ Maddah - Soundwave 2015 will be a 2 day event for each city. Adelaide/Melbourne for one weekend, Sydney/Brisbane the next. Ticket price will be the same as this year ($185), but a one day price will be available as well. ($120)

I never got a Wii Motion Plus, and I can't find my Wii sensor. I still feel horribly ill-equipped to have a Wii U.
I guess this year will come down to getting a 3DS or an Xbox One.
Awesome, glad to hear it - and yes that update took a worryingly long time.

there's a sensor bar in the gamepad and both Wii U models come with a Wii-style sensor bar.
Both are excellent yet there is also the Wonderful 101 and Super Mario 3D World.
The basic doesn't.

My mistake, for some reason they don't include it in Australia. They do in the US basic according to Nintendo.com.
I have a premium and never unpacked the sensor. But then I only play single player and have never used a wiimote with the 'U.'

It's the debate I'm having as well, except replace Pikmin with Wonderful 101.
They've made some updates to Pikmin that allow you to use the touchscreen to better control the game, if that helps any?
The latter isnt offered as a freebie, at least not in Australia. Otherwise I probably would choose that.

The best way to play Civilization V is to turn the music off (though it is very good music) and play the GoT soundtracks

Anyone having trouble connecting to netflix?
Not from the web. Seems to be streaming fine for me.

Cheers. I can't even load up the website, but works on my phones data, weird.

Maybe your ISP has started blocking it
Wouldn't surprise me.
EDIT. I can ping netflix.com, now I have no idea.
Enjoy it while it's good! S2 was pretty disappointing
What DNS service do you use? Your IP adress has probably been changed.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Travel noob question: what's the delio with buying electronic shit in the USA and bringing it back? Mum is heading over to Hawaii, and asked if I wanted her to grab anything to bring back. I was thinking a PS4 as it could save me AU$100+ than buying locally, if at the cost of local warranty. I'm not totally sold on the idea, but what kind of fees/baggage/tax issues might she have getting it out?

Started working again, who knows why.
Under a $1000 and you're golden tax wise. As for the rest, depends on airline. Basically just buy locally, dicksmith have them for $430ish on ebay today.

Tell me which ADSL2+ modem/router to buy AusGAF.
Running ADSL2+, 5MB/s down, 0.80MB/s up. Have the router up one end of the house with the PC wired in while the PS4/360 is in the same room on wifi. WiiU/Chromecast is in the loungeroom at the other end of the house on wifi.
What router will give me solid wifi Plex streaming to the lounge! Current one seems to work okay to the PS3 depending on temperament and weather (can stream 100% fine for 7 hours then keeps dropping buffer for the next bunch of hours, totally random).

It's a super cheapo build house, I can stream Plex to my phone/tablet while sitting on the lounge with zero issue, 100% of the time. Just seems to have issues on PS3/Chromecast.
I can even stream PS4 to my Vita on the couch fine with minimal artifacts (no more than sitting in the same room I mean).
Really odd.
You'll probably get tired of hearing this, but I shit you not I have one you could have. Has wifi all speeds except the best bestest one or something. Don't use it anymore, as good as yours.
Edit: this-a one
Still worth a crack to try with a controller or somesuch. Get the wheel working just how you like it for when your Oculus rocks up.Yeah, all over it
If you've already bought it... congrats! It's shaping up to be the most complete, polished sim-racer around.

Kissed a mod for a tag; liked it
Yeah I'm pretty excited about this tbh. I like that I wont be stressing too much about seeing all the bands I want and the longer set times. +1 from me!

LOL! Well if it's suitable and you don't want it I'd love to give it a shot! I've still got your other one around here somewhere I think
despite it dying not too long after I bought it off you lol
It has THREE antennas compared to the one on my Netgear DG834G so it must be awesome!

Tax free under $1000. Baggage depends on airlines.
Also, PS4 shipped from DSE ebay is $423 with coupon code CBIGTREAT.
Add to cart, apply coupon on checkout and pay via Paypal.
Max discount is $200, so you can even add an extra controller or a game and checkout everything together for max savings.
ORDER IT ASAP before the code expires.
Oh dude! I need to buy a laptop for going away. That'll save me heaps.
Edit: How can you tell if a laptop is full windows 8 or that gimped shitty windows 8 for tablets?
