and to sign a waiver form skiiiiids ONE WEEK TO GO BITCHES

I got LBP and Wipeout HD/Fury. I bought PAIN, installing that damn thing took FOREVER, about as long as it took to download LBP is downloading... getting 1MB every.... 14 seconds. currently @ 395/2039MB 6.3hrs to go?

Marc, In the case of bikes and things of a physical nature, I'd want to buy locally as I want to know that I'd be able to go into the store if I have dramas and talk to someone about things, and have a chat about it. With purely digital items though, especially games (where I'll just dump the contents of the disc onto my HDD and install from there, or Steam) then it hurts for the price difference. I guess different sectors of the market, different strokes? I think we can all agree that it's a tough one

Yeah, played the demo... I mean as much as I wasn't looking forward to it, I was like, ok, ignore all the story, just look at gameplay mechanics.... Still hesitant. Ah well It burned a few minutes, anyway.

Got my free games... Fark me dead if there wasn't a million errors doing so tho. Wallet is still there, so that was good, bought stuff too; and oooh didn't know about 100 free items in PS Home, not like I use it though I think their servers were getting hammered tho, shitty download speed

would have done it myself but i'm lazy so diylol it is

They might have done so, but WHO THE f**k STORES INFORMATION PLAIN TEXT jesus christ f**k you, sony

hell yeah i was pretty damn happy. i mean yeah the parts i bought cost me like 2400 all up but ah well changed harmonic balancer too, and the air con comp was 770 from qld aftermarket, nissan wanted 1400

How f**king stupid was that. They FINALLY bring the store back online (after PSN being offline again for a few days)... And then you can't get what they promised for f**king us all around. PS3 hasn't been turned on in a while... Not sure I'm really going to bother now. It'll stay as my BluRay player but I think that might be about it.

All up, I got the 100,000 service done (swapped belt, all the bearings and shit, water pump), oil pump as well, spark plugs, changed cam cover seals, full radiator flush, replaced air con compressor and re-gassed, fixed up the fuel gauge... changed ancillary belts too.. possibly more but i can't remember, but i supplied all parts except the ancillary belts and spark plugs, was $1600. farkin HUGE job changing oil pump tho

Yeah, we get our own shit end of the deal too... Just was trying to make the point (in the shittiest way possible, it seems) that price difference on phones between here and the US isn't apples vs apples (god i suck)

Add VLC onto a disc then too

for those who can't find them DISCLAIMER:: I don't know if it's the same people; someone may be stealing images and being dodgy. The Carsales ad says sportsautogroup.com.au. Having said that, roughly same page design, same stock of cars. </disclaimer> http://www.sportsautogroup.com.au/view/detail.php?make_id=4&car_id=1319 http://www.allimports.com.au/view/detail.php?make_id=4&car_id=1262 On both sites it shows the open-covered engine, not the stock-but-shiny bay. Carsales ad seems to have a bullshit image on it.

http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/packages/packages-list.jsp?wtSlotClick=1-004YXE-0-1&WT.svl=title cbf going further into it but i've had it verified by a fair few mates in the US: quite a lot of plans you pay for incoming calls too. also they work on "minutes" and not on a dollar value like we do. But yeah, $200 for phone upfront then you're on a 24 month contract.

Big difference there: In the US, they price phones on their outright price on a 24 month contract. I haven't really heard about phones being sold outright there. We, on the other hand, have the choice Plus they have to pay for incoming calls..... so their plans become not-so-great too

+1 WAS, got my 33 back from him the other week; very happy with the work (100,000 service, oil pump, harmonic balancer, air con, cam cover seals, fuel gauge reseat) (yeah Tristan I finally got it there )

If you've already got the G25 it might not be a huge improvement (dunno, not sure), but if you don't have a wheel at all and have the disposable income, this is a winner

If you know someone with a Uni email addy: www.itsnotcheating.com.au $50 for Win 7 Home Pro, can get x64. Don't bother paying for the disc too, just download the ISO and burn, voila. Do it as a fresh install though.

If someone comes out with an AWESOME special edition (Mass Effect 3, I've got my eye on you, I want a die-cast SR2 Normandy), then I'll buy it physical, but other than that? Steam or OzGameshop/PlayAsia.

Yeah, I've bought a ton of stuff from them now... If I played more racing games, I'd be all over this (then the missus would kill me).

Yep, can get account blocked for that and all games revoked. It's in their EULA. Best to have mates in the US. If the US copy is significantly cheaper, I paypal my mates some cash (and a lil extra on top), and they gift it to me. $50USD in USA, I give them 55USD (so like $53AUD), instead of $90USD. It's the distributors that cause those prices to be f**ked for Australia. They have a massive bitch and tell Valve that if they don't put the price up (because retail is so different), they won't deal with them for other shit in the future. Note how Portal 2 is still only $50USD in the Australian store, cause they don't have dream boats to deal with. <3 Valve

+1, I've got one of these at work and they're great. Colour is beautiful, and adjustable height (very important).

Just passing on the news, saw on Facebook. http://www.logitechshop.com.au/logitech-g27-racing-wheel-pc-ps3.html They've only got 500 of these and they've been up for a bit, so if you want one, better jump in quick. Next cheapest on staticice is 395 + delivery. Massive heads up to anyone who wants it!

paid, emailed. etc
