AusGAF 3.0 - Double the price, region locked and refused classification

I need some kind of audio box thing that will accept HDMI inputs, preferably multiple ones, and send them off to speakers etc. Dad bought a box but I just looked at it and it doesn't accept inputs. Can I use the speakers I got with the box dad bought with some other standalone thingymagig?
I'm planning to plug a PS3 in there so I can watch the blu rays, but first I need to get this 5.1 setup.

Ah thanks. The thing is I was going to just buy a regular USB 2.0 external HDD but my new laptop has an eSATA port so I thought I might as well get a compatible HDD if it has a faster transfer rate. I was curious as to whether it would be cheaper to buy my own HDD and enclosure over buying one all ready enclosed. Going from the prices of them on pccasegear it works out about the same so I think I'm going to go with this.
Thanks for your help.

Haha.... strangely more to celebrate than just that when you go through a process called IVF. But cheers.

Yeah, I know, but the fact he had no idea what it was, might suggest he do some research first, rather than get some unit some lackey at JB recommends only to find out later he wants it to do more! Plenty of units don't even support HDMI 1.4a for example or HD audio, etc, etc.
Urgh, give me a PC to fiddle around with any day
Anyway, given the amount of cash we'll have to fork over I guess it behooves us to do some research first... currently looking at a Pioneer 5.1 Full HD A/V Receiver VSX-520...
This kinda shit is what happens when dad decides he can just fool around getting Dick Smith-branded crap

Better pirate it then.
Hey guys! What's a better case?
The CM 690 II, which I was originally looking at.
Or I saw our good buddy Legend got The CM HAF 912.
Just a matter of personal preference, or does one have better airflow, etc. Cheers buds.

You guys did IVF? I find it amazing that we can even create new humans using such techniques. Twins seem really frequent through IVF.Omi said:Haha.... strangely more to celebrate than just that when you go through a process called IVF. But cheers.
AusGAF, convince me as to whether I should buy or not buy Borderlands. The Borderlands bundle (including all DLC) for PS3 is US$15 for US PS Plus members this week and it seems like a bargain, but I just don't know as I've never been that big of a fan of modern shooters. Thus, I'm really on the fence and need some guidance to fall either way.
Is there stuff which sets this apart from other games that would make it interesting? What's the story like? Is the DLC worth playing?
Thanks in advance for any help in either direction.

To me it was a fun time-sink shooter. While it was good and i enjoyed it for around 12 hours. I dont think i will ever pick it up and play again. Also playing with mates makes a massive differance
Ever since i became a programmer i buy as much of my stuff as i can.Gazunta said:WHOOOOOOOO YEAH

Ok, since i left uni and could afford too, anyway.

Bold statement, this GEN is fairly old, it includes Halo 3 and... tons of others.

Praise science! I'm actually starting to hear of a lot of people who do IVF nowadays. Really interesting. I wonder if it's something to do with society (is something we're doing/eating causing more difficulty, or are we waiting longer, etc) or just that thing where you start to notice something more (like if you bought a Volvo you'll start seeing Volvos everywhere).Omi said:Yeah we did, it is totally amazing and we will pretty much always be thankful to science.
Ah OK, never knew that point. What do they consider "older"?Omi said:
If you've got some mates to play it with, it's awesome. I've never really gotten into MMOs but it feels like an MMOFPS to me, with the way it's structured.Clipper said:
Pretty boring as a single player game, and you're probably better off having 1-2 hour sessions at a time.
Clipper said:
The differential is the loot progression mechanic and light RPG elements. It is quite the translation of the traditional ARPG formula, although the gunplay never really clicked for me. The story is nigh on nonexistant and the DLC is, Mad Moxxy aside, a significant chunk of more content of the same quality. Although unless you're having a blast with the co-op, I can't really imagine you desperately wanting more game at the end as it last for quite some time.
If the idea of a loot mechanic in an FPS appeals to you then go for it if you have some people to play it with or a desperate need to make it through 50+ hours of podcast xD

Heh, maybe, it is more common than you would think, just not a lot of people necessarily talk about it, mainly due to people thinking there is a bit of a social stigma about it (and people not wanting to admit they are less than perfect!).
Whether the more people accessing treatment is resulting in increased fertility problems, who knows... I guess that is something we will find out later down the track and curse science again.

Every year over 30 for a female I believe decreases your chances of natural conception (late 20s I believe is the peak fertility rate?)

Yeah, I think that's probably the main reason. The perception is that if you "need" IVF then there's something wrong with you.Omi said:
Which is a bit disappointing really; especially when you consider that people undergoing IVF usually want kids as much or more than others who don't need it.
I enjoyed Borderlands SP, mainly due to the fact MP was so broken at release. Finished the game once and was 75% of the way through the 2nd play through once I bought all the DLC on sale. DLC is mostly take it or leave it mind you.
Also, this mediawatch piece from the other night is so great: http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s3272172.htm

360 it is then!
I am looking at getting an electrician to put 2 network sockets in walls and a tv antenna socket. Anyone happen to know around what this might cost me?

I had a blast playing through with a mate, and with more people it would be pretty good. Frankly I found the finale a bit of a letdown and I wish there were more unique, big set-piece style missions as most of them were MMO-style collectathons. But it was still good fun.Stackboy said:

I assume you're waiting for A Dance With Dragons? If so it's worth the wait. I'm about half way through it and it's probably the best written of the series so far, a welcome return to form after A Feast For Crows (which I though was probably the weakest in the series). There are a bunch of new plot lines which I never saw coming and are really interesting.evlcookie said:

I got my 4 books i ordered. First 3 within 3 days and the last one arrived on the 6th day after ordering.
No problems at all. If you are waiting on A Dance with Dragons i would assume they might have a stock issue currently. If its the others i hope you know amazon are selling a boxed set for $20 which i bought last week as well.
I also have Metro 2033 sitting in my basket, but I couldn't find an English version of Metro 2034 so I might leave it until I find another book or two, save on shipping and what not.
EDIT: Hmm I could get Contact, I never got around to finishing it as the copy I was reading was my ex's =S
