Pricing

er surely some mistake? The 40Gb is currently £299 but your saying the 80Gb is cheaper :-/

ppppfffffffttttt

HTC Touch Diamond here I come :-D

RE: 120Gb - bargain

[quote]Ah, this looks a bargain for us PS3 owners. I can get the same sized hard disk for less than £40, but silly me that's internal. I'm sure if I look at external ones it'll be far cheaper

So it's £76 for a proprietary 120GB drive? Awesome, wish I was invited to that party

[/quote]

lol & point at the PS3 Fangirl.

You seem to forget that the 360 doesn't need a big hard drive!

No 1+Gb installs (which ultimately defeats the point of having a games console) just to play a game.

1st photo (via link)

Am I the only one that noticed that one of the guys in the photo (centre right, ginger(ish) long hair,beard and glasses) is now a chick!

I also love the way BillG is sitting as far away from everyone he can while still being in shot.

James Sherwood

So where's the link or name of the source of this "survey"?

Or is it just your attempt at satirical journalism?

Smell?

I smell something....smells like a cover-up to me.

/me dons tinfoil hat

Don't forget....

the Rip-Off Britain multiplier to those prices.

Slow...

Slow news day guys?

I mean come on, this story is basically "Aussie mag makes typo" :-/

fantastic

lol this story has made my day!

I'm no legal expert but I reckon Phorm Design have a good case, along with bringing the name into distripute (spl?)

DIE PHORM DIE! (not Design, the crap one)

yeah right

I call Bull Shite on this.

And I'll eat my HD-DVD addon if it happens

Choc Cheese =! NZ

WTF are you on about Kiwis and the choclate cheese for?

It clearly states where the choclate cheese is available and New Zeland aint one of them (although some of its neighbours are)

"Within the first six months of the product’s launch in Taiwan, CHESDALE chocolate cheese slices grabbed a 10 per cent share of the overall cheese market. The product has since been launched in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand with similar success."

Come on El Reg, next you'll be blaming GTA4 for some random stabbing. Oh wait....

HD-DVD's?

I wanna a comparison of HD-DVD and Blu-Ray disc sales since the "war end".

Personally I've brought 11 HD-DVD's, 0 BD's and 0 DVD's.

hhhmmm

I've got a C64 in its box at home, maybe time to sell it while the Commodore name is still being used.

easier...

er wouldn't it be easier for the bots to use the audio version of the Captcha?

I've always thought this was the unsecure part of the system :-s

Phew

Microsoft should really see this as a good bit of luck, and forget all about wasting such a large sum of money.

er...?

so BT basically said "Yeah Phorm come on in, here's our network go knock yourself out, I'm off to the pub."

Microsoft Trolls

Will the Trolls (Mark & 1st AC) please read the article before before posting!

The guy does not work for Microsoft! Typical Troll posting.

As has already been pointed out; what a surprise, a guy sets up a business that would benefit greatly from console's demise, is prophesying the demise of consoles - why are these people given news space?

RE: "All UK farmland would barely run Heathrow"

BAA can barely run Heathrow! How can they expect the UK farmland to.

Performance

"Good enough Performance"

lol made me chuckle anyway.

huh?

What planet are these people from?

Jeez, to think this sort of "thinkers" are running this country :-(

No wonder it's in such a state and emergrating seems more attractive each day.

Mines the lifejacket thanks, oh will the last one out turn the lights off please.

@ Nick Palmer

"They can believe in the *&%$ing Tooth Fairy, for all I care; it doesn't make them right"

That actually made me choke on my coffee and fall off my chair, bravo sir! :-D

Surely if the said ISP's change their T&C's to incorperate this, aren't the user entitled to cancel without penalty as the new T&C's aren't acceptable :-s

TBH I'd be surprised if this takes off, Phorm's share price has nearly halved since this all kicked off - and the more it gets discussed the less viable it appears.

Blame.....

"Mr Kipling has apologised for the UK earthquake earlier this morning.

But he has always made exceedingly good quakes"

and?

This is news beacause?........

also seems a hell of a lot of solder on that chip.

True?

1st thing, has anyone independantly verified the Americans story? Or are we all just taking their word for it [that that it's been destroyed].

2nd'ly, this whole episode has been about the Americans wanting to and demostrating their ability to "shoot down" a satelite; but "An American warship in the Pacific, USS Lake Erie, fired a modified SM-3 missile which lobbed a small kinetic kill vehicle into the dead satellite's path. The crippled spacecraft destroyed itself as it smashed into the vehicle at several miles per second." doesn't actually say they shot it down! They basically dumped the "kinetic kill vehicle" in it's path and let nature do the rest.

I feel cheated :-/

Trailer

Ok, no screenies or anything but a nice "announcment" trailer is available on the official site http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/g/gearsofwar2/announce.htm

@ Hmmm

Maybe Scott is the seller, and trying to bump up the final price ;-)

Think I'll browes the bay at lunch time and pick up some bargains, no point in me buying a hi-def (BD or HD) player at full retail as I haven't touch my DVD player in a year!

oh!

>*You know the one, where the annoying hipster family make a telephone and a computer out of their furniture for no reason at all.

I never realeased thats what they were advertising! Thanks for the heads-up El Reg.

(Care to shed light on their advert with the multi-coloured streams etc.?)

Obviously, Oranges shoddy customer service and cr@p T&C have nothing to do with their loss of subscribers ;-)
