Apple are single-handedly saving concert experiences. Now invent a technology that reverses bottles back on the person throwing them and we're good.

How long until we see TV-B-Gone type devices that you can shine at anyone using an iPhone to stop it videoing? I know I'd buy one for the hell of it.Omi said:

I was joking. I doubt this will actually be anything too relevant for concert experiences so much as it will be useful for things like cinemas, private press-screenings and other events.
I know nothing about the tech.

ozgameshop delivered infamous 2 in exactly a week- that's pretty good and much better than most of the UK places I've been getting games from lately.
This is important because it means once I finish DNF today, I can skip CoE completely and ignore all of the shaking fists and go straight to inFamous 2.
I think it's silly to pay $150+ for a concert ticket and then spend the whole time looking at your camera screen.
in 2006 i saw a one band back when they still made a big deal about keeping cameras out. in 2009, I saw the same band and they did a bit where they played a few songs up in the stalls right up the back, and those people sitting within fart-smelling distance of these guys they'd paid a lot of money to come and see LIVE were sitting there staring at their phones the whole time while they recorded.
Silly tech, but then could they use this technology for people with kids so Funniest Home Videos gets cancelled?

Good. (Also, the first comment on that blog shows the utmost stupidity to be expected of someone who only read the title and is probably the type of person to skip to the score in a review. No wonder non-gamers look down their nose at this hobby when pit-stains like them are part of the vocal minority.)Choc said:
Map packs I expected, because that's been their thing since BF2. I will now shut the fuck up. Pre-ordered from OzGameShop because Origin is the devil.
Actually, pre-ordering from OzGameShop will be good; by the time it arrives 2 weeks later, a lot of the horrible release day bugs should be gone.
Sold. Any idea if any are regiftable? I already own Machinarium.reptilescorpio said:
I'm slowly working through a fair few indie games on my new notbook and that package looks pretty sweet. Everyone needs to get Osmos, btw.
Decided I'm going to get Eden at no matter what cost now... if DSE doesn't have it in stock and JB won't pricematch I'll just pony up the $80. Sounds like it's worth it.

Hey US 3DS owning Aus Gaf can anyone help me out with something. I've tried to buy money on the US eShop this morning but for some reason its not accepting my Aus Credit card. It was working fine earlier this week but I have a feeling the recent update may have done something but not sure. I'm using Zip code 97369 which is for somewhere in Oregon but its not working, I also tried another post code with the same result.
Anyone else having this issue with their US 3DS?

There are two places to enter postcodes. One is for the state in which you live and the other is for your credit card. The state in which you live is for tax purposes and should be taken from a place in the US, preferably without tax. For your credit card, you should be using your Aussie postcode prefixed with a 0, as they actually use that to confirm with your bank whether the card is valid.Worthintendo said:
Hahaha, well played sir. Apple is so far up their own arse, this probably never crossed their minds.Shaneus said:
Actually, I can see them selling special Apple anti-IR tape and making millions. They'll tell everyone they've but a rare earth metal that stops IR penetration of the sensors. It will later be discovered that this rare earth metal interferes with their poor antenna system, so you'll need a new antenna sock to protect your phone signal.

PUT A ZERO INFRONT OF YOUR POSTCODE WHEN USING THE STORE AND CONFIRMING YOUR BILLING ADDRESS!
(bolding it so everyone reads, I did this the other week and bought Zelda)
edit: FYI what postcodes are people using? I'm using 90210 (kill me lol) and am paying the 3.99 prices (so no tax I assume?)

Probably going to start selling concert footage on iTunesChoc said:

It is a problem though, haven't you seen all the signs at concerts about not taking photos or video footage. I'm pretty sure they also stop people from taking cameras and handy cams in, but now that people have phones that can do the same, a different approach is required.
Of course, it's not actually a problem, it just is in the eyes of the music industry. It's not like I won't go and see my favourite acts live, just because I watched some footage on YouTube with tinny sound and shaky camera angles.

The thing is, if I record with my phone's camera or even a small compact, the quality is barely worth bothering about.jambo said:
Sure, if I took a 5D or pro camcorder with a tripod in, that's a different story, but most artists only let you shoot the first couple of songs at the front, and only if you have the right credentials anyway.

Resolution isn't an indication of sensor quality. There's a reason they shot an episode of House last year with a 5DmkII and not an iPhone 4.jambo said:
Did you try our suggestions out to use your Aussie postcode prefixed with 0 yet or not?Worthintendo said:
Edit: Sorry for the highlights when you had answered already, missed your post due to replying at the same time :/.
Edit 2: Also, I did just try it myself. Doesn't work for me either. So yeah, cards seem to be the only way to go, although I still have $38 as I charged it with $50 the other day when the original $40 of prepaid cards I had ran out.
I got those previous cards prior to the eShop launch from a mate living in the US. It helps him out as he gets Best Buy reward points for buying them, and I just pay him for the purchase with Paypal. I guess I'm back to doing that now.
