I'm thinking more that with the cost of importing, They'd need to have charged something like $610 to get the same margins.... so they rounded up to the nearest $50.jambo said:
As for Sony, I guess Europe, Australia and everywhere else were subsidising the losses incurred in the US and Japan.

Hot Pursuit hype at critical mass. Hold me gentlemen.

The game might be now be non shitty in my mind. I will still have to wait and play it but i'm glad they went back to basics, back to what made burnout burnout. And straight racers in multiplayer, although it sounds like point to point only, so it's a half hello ladies there.

That will be difficult seeing as we use a scale of 8/8

I'm going to review it after all. Should be an interesting exercise.. I've got some different methods in mind. If you want to get involved with the site then submit something and we'll see what happens from there.
I ordered my u2410 on Monday night and it arrived today. Nice.
Does anyone regularly plug their consoles into their monitors and have some solution to make it easier to swap in and out? HDMI hubs and splitters seem expensive. Thinking about just getting a short male to female extension cable.

^^^cheers Fredescu,
I'm not in the market for a monitor atm, will wait till/if I start Uni. Good to know they are closer to $500 than $1000 though
that made me laugh far more than it should have - just finished watching S1 of the Inbetweeners last week and had never heard the word "clunge" before then.

Forgot how expensive BDO tickets were. God damn... Crystal Castles have said they aren't doing any sideshows either so I have no choice in this.
So 2 of those, plus the cartridge I finally paid for (that I've had on order since 2007 but kept missing the production runs), means I'm quite the poor man this fortnight.
Fuck you, money.

$32 for Borderlands GOTY edition. http://www.ozgameshop.com/pc-games/borderlands-game-of-the-year-edition-goty-game-pc
Or you can pay $129 US on Steam.

$100+. Those ones you've linked actually look pretty good. All I did was search for "HDMI hub" on static ice, but it seems "HDMI switch" gives much more interesting results. I wonder if you sacrifice image quality by going through them? I've had bad experiences with cheap KVM switches in the past.Clipper said:

There's one at Highpoint still. It's significantly smaller than what it was when I was a kid, but it's there.

Nah not really. They've updated to the latest versions of the newer fighting games (Tekken) there was a dual SSFIV machine there for about 4 weeks then they got rid of it for some reason. Everything else is as-is really.
Anyway, update on my GPU. Since I've had the GPU for 2 weeks now and Gigabyte's DOA warranty is only 7 days (!?) I have to mail it to PCG who will mail it to Gigabyte. I was only gonna drive up if it was gonna land me a new card today, which it isn't. So stuff it. Any pointers on packing the card for minimal/no damage?
Yep. On Steam, the base game is $80, plus $13 each for the first three DLC, and $10 for the new one. All of that comes with the GOTY edition. The GOTY edition will probably make it's way to Steam eventually, but you just know it's going to be at least $80.legend166 said:
I don't know why but I've been playing Borderlands again recently. I'm half tempted to buy the GOTY edition just to have the DLC.

I do have the original box, but I'd rather be extra careful if possible.
Oh yeah, I did manage to get it out. You were asleep/offline by that point when I got back from indoor. The computer works PERFECT without the 460. As soon as I swap the 7600GT for the GTX460, it starts dying. Same drivers and everything.
Megadrive said:
Awesome to know then that after all this time and updates, It's definitely the GPU that is causing issues.
Guess you can use it with the old card for now until pcg or gigabyte send you back a replacement. Did you ask for the same model? Can you swap it over for something else ?

From the seems of it I'm gonna have to stick with the same model. If I have more problems with it I'm gonna complain until they offer me a better/different model.
And yes, I'm gonna use the computer with the old card until PCG send my replacement. Gotta get on with programming considering I've done jack shit on it since I got the stupid computer and started having troubles. It's due Monday.
Hmm, they don't seem to have DVI switches, surprisingly. However, you could get one of the HDMI switches and a few of these HDMI to DVI dongles for those devices that only have DVI.rass said:
Hey AusGAF, my brother's first iPod/iPhone/iPad game just got accepted and it's called Banana Splitz: Munky Smash. He's the programmer, his friend is the designer and it's the first entry in a minigame series they plan to get going.
Costs $1.19 and is fun enough to warrant the purchase. Has online leader boards too!
Game play is simple and rewarding. You have to string together combos by not missing a monkey (think Guitar Heroes) which earns you multipliers and gets you a high score. You also have to avoid the 'Cooky Nuts' which knock off a lot of health.

For whoever was looking for iPhone games, there are a bunch on sale at the moment:
At least Mirror's Edge, Castlevania and Metal Gear appear to only be on sale for the US versions. There are probably more that I haven't checked.
What's the deal, Choc!? I want Mirror's Edge!
Well, at least I got Puzzle Agent for cheap.
Guess I'll just have to figure out how to make a US account to buy shit with. Edit: Figured it out. Cheap Mirror's Edge and Castlevania, woo!

Good God I love in-betweeners. Going to wait for Season 3 to finish and then power watch all the season in a weekend.
Have any of you guys seen the mis-fits or peep show???

I played until roughly level twenty in Borderlands and then it did that thing where it gave me heaps of cool new firepower and higher stats and then five seconds later threw me in an area where the enemies scaled up perfectly with them. When the combat isn't exactly improvisational or free-flowing and relies so heavily on stats, a constant rampage of enemies that match my loot kind of killed the fun.

I've not played Borderlands but UGH I hate that. Interesting to hear Peter Molyneux's (I think it was him) thoughts regarding this. Think he said something like: games always make you try and build up to becoming a badass, but then the game finishes and you never even get a chance to play with your super awesome character. I guess that's the same with level scaling, you get new skills and abilities that are almost instantly rendered shitty. Hopefully Fable III lets you tear around as a badass, although with the simplification the game has undergone...who knows.
Just played the Enslaved demo. I liked it, I'm a sucker for Tomb Raider/Uncharted style platforming and the graphics are really nice. Will be keen to check it out if it reviews well. Castlevania also sounds decent from the reviews. So many games though, I just can't find the time for them all.
