It's a proprietry cable with a modulator. I remember it being interchangeable with the NES, but I could be wrong.

The console end is proprietary but the TV end is coaxial or RCA, depending on which you use. I seem to recall the N64 cables being the same at the console end, but it's been a long time.
Specifically ad enabled versions?
Just tried to check out. Couldn't
IS there a good reason why i can't?
They won't ship any touch or any fire, ad enabled or not. The product description says "US only" on them. You'd have to use a third party shipping company to do it.
No idea.
Only reason i can think of is they've given Big W an exclusivity clause for it, but they aren't selling the touch / fire / etc so........... moronic.

Ad versions are subsidised by US companies trying to sell products in the US. Likely they don't want their money going to waste on Aussie tech-heads who have never so much as seen a Wall Mart in person, let alone set foot in one.
I expect the ability to advertise is legally region-restricted in some capacity.
Oh, i get the adversion, that made sense. for the above stated.
Restricting the version... the only OTHER thing i could come up with is... yeah, demand.
I've got people in the US that will take delivery and on forward, just a pain.
Sup Ausgaf, been away on a weeks beach holiday. Took me yesterday and today to catch up with what's going on (that's right, I read a weeks worth of posts).
Played a bit of Halo: Anniversary MP last night, the 6 redone maps and all. I know the BF3's and MW3's are taking all the players at the moment, but the main Halo:Reach Team Slayer playlist only had 1300 players in it. Most of playlists for Halo: Anniversary had nothing over 300 players. I found this pretty shocking.

Hey I don't know if you guys have noticed but your whole system for renting apartments is just awful and soul-destroying and really monstrously unfair. Probably a bit corrupt too.
Anyway we've FINALLY been accepted for a place (in St Kilda; not my choice) and are moving in next week. I need to sort out internet, contents insurance and the other utilities. Should I just go with these Direct Connect guys the rental agents put me on to? They get you quotes for everything from their "partners": Optus, AGL etc. Or should I shop around?
Who do you guys use for your internet needs? All the broadband packages I've seen seem to be fairly similar. I don't hate the guy that's in the iinet ads, and the big dog that eats the sim card is cute, but would that be a reason to go with them?
On reflection, it almost certainly wouldn't.

A and B are sequential, right ?

That's what you get when landlords have way too much power, house prices are way too high and competition for rental properties is higher than it's ever been.
A: The alien is so far away that by the time the information gets from our planet to his and back again, 40,034 years have passed.
B: That's nice.
I'm with iinet, never had a problem.
Internet: iinet.net.au
Insurance: my bank was best premium (commonwealth bank). But just about every major insurer in AU will do contents policies. (Suncorp, Allianz, QBE, Lumley, Zurich)
Internode.
Awesome extras like premium radio channels, Games.On.Net, the SourceForge mirror, premium Usenet access and top notch support make them my favourite Aussie ISP.

Thanks for the replies guys.
My boss recommended TPG as well but I'm not sure whether I really NEED unlimited internets.

I just really like not having to check against my meter all the damn time.
/edit The Spike VG game awards site isn't actually that bad looking!
Tell me about it! :/
I would hazard a guess that that isn't from FedEX.
My wife got an sms telling her she'd won $500k and to email pepsi@sify.com for instructions. Poor old Pepsi can't even afford a proper domain.

Where have you come from?
Welcome! St. Kilda is a pretty good suburb can be pretty dicey at night though but Carlisle Street is quite nice and everything you need is within walking distance, train to the city is pretty quick and the 86 tram can be at times too.
I recommend internode best service and reliability around. iiNet is pretty good too I know someone with their bob package thing they live in East St Kilda and say it is quite good. For your other utilities it is probably best to shop around CommBank is probably the most common bank around in Melbourne most atms and most outlets, if you just want basic banking then probably which ever is closer to your place is the best bet. Though it is important to remember everytime you withdraw money from a atm or pay for something with eftpos that isn't your bank you are robbed $2, it adds up quick if your not aware.
Any other ouestion feel free to ask someone should be able to answer it for you.
Someones in the pocket of Big Indie!
VVVVVV is as classic as it gets!
Just do what I did, and say you're making a cheetmen 2 clone.
You can pretty easily buy all of the classic platformers like the Mario's and the Sonic's can't you?
I haven't since about a half year ago when I set up the modem. Now I've forgotten the password and can't get back into it. I could do a hard reboot and factory reset it but TPG TV has some weird settings I have no idea how to work. So basically I just sit here hoping nothing goes wrong.

So I tweeted about the JB HiFi $169 Xbox 360 4Gb console. And then Harvey Norman come out with $158. Which is great as it means I can get my EB to price match! New 360 for only $140! Woo! Anyone want my 360 for $50? Will come with a 20Gb HDD once I transfer over all the content to the new one. Has a HDMI port.
Also received my $20 360 copy of NBA2K11 today from GAME. Woo!
Also received Gaz's copy of RAGE for the 360! Will give it a run tonight and see how it plays without installing to the HDD after the joy of the PC version

Has been no change since the messy Dragon Age 2 related bans back in March. Bunch of fuckwits.Worth keeping in mind. EA dodgy practices re Origin / Forum bans continuing etc.
Wouldn't mind seeing your avatar all sup. Not a fan of grease though. I also like women who talk so no dice on the shut-in part.
Just the continuing lol of how moronic they have been towards the consumer after the brief oasis that was Mirrors Edge, Dead Space and taking that dickhat Tim Langdell to court.
Depends on their agreement with Eurogamer, I recall them asking them to stopping running some annoying pop up ads about 6 months ago. In any case they have been chummy for years since most the writers have written lots and lots of stuff for them.
Love Everlong. Perfect pop anthem. Dave Grohl put on some Beatles/Beach Boys and just said fuck the haters, I'm going to write a perfect song that will stand the test of time. Also was back in the time when their music videos were the pinnacle of the medium. Love the rock out at the end along with all the pop culture references. If only they still did them, the last one, for Low, was a bit shit.
mobi works best but I've found all formats to read fairly good. Haven't come across a bad pdf yet.
I got my gf the OG Kindle when they released through Dick Smith back in August and she loves the hell out of them. Plug and play is so damn easy too.
Where Is My Heart? on PSN minis is great, also free for PSN+ members. Not that simple but certainly very very charming.
My modem was the default "admin" for username and pw for a good 5 years before I decided that I should probably change it.
And yeah, been with TPG and had no real problems except for random drop outs every now and then. It's decent for the most part.
