I was really keen on the X-box untill I heard about the poor sales, And I love Gran Turismo, so PS-2 was the obviouse choice. So I am now saving for one.

But the final nail for X-box for me was when I talk to the guys at the video store, they have the PS-2 games and have ordered all the Game Cube games, but are staying well away from the X-box, as they have done all the research into what will be succsessful and what won't.

Has anyone played Project Gotham?

God sony piss me off, they wrote a similar article in the states about not dropping prices, what did they do the other week...dropped the price. I wish sony would get off their high horses and just do what's right for people. It's just the way sony are though, and people love them for it, flashy colours, cheap quality. Same as bloody Holden and HSV.

IBM was working with Nintendo to create the x-box, which allowed Nintendo to incorporate Copper technology into their system.

The components in the Cube are as small as 1 600th the width of a human hair, this alone is one great advantage over both other machines.

Also the some 1.5 gb cartridge for games is twice the data of a cd, which is cool.

I still prefer the X-Box though, better games, a GPU, and it looks cool, even though I would probably end up customising the case for the hell of it.

Who cares which one is more powerful. What matters is which ones has better games, and the gameplay.

We're all car fanatics here, and you cannot go past GT3!!!

However, GP4 is coming out on the xbox, but i'll save that one for the PC.

As far as I'm concerned, I payed some damn good money for a damn good PC, and I don't give a **** what anyone tells me, any game on the Xbox will come out at some stage on the PC. I mean the Xbox is just a lightly modified PC.

If you read up about it, MS like most companies is losing money on the hardware to make money on the software. Therefore it stands to reason that any game that can *very* easily and quickly converted to PC, will also be sold on the PC therefore increasing their market to sell to.

/Start of rant

However I can't get GT3 on PC, Tekken Tag, Dead or Alive 2 (Although you never know, DoA3 might be on PC) etc.

I bought a PSX for GT1,2 and THPS1,2. Thats it.

Unfortunately I can't afford a PS2 right now, but when you spend like $2000 a year plus on your computer (My excuse is I'm a tech), I don't need ****ty console games.

SOF2, RTCW Multi, WarC3, Morrowind (oh my god is so good) etc, are far better than any crap that comes out on consoles. Plus most of these games come with free internet updates ,patches, nude women... oh sorry ahead of myself.

Anyway, I'm sure I've pissed off a heap of people already, so I'll shut up. But anyone who wants to ague which has better games, play Baldur's Gate 2 the whole way through, and then tell my consol games are better.

/End of rant

Cheers,

Tim

ok here it is : x-box as hardware is better... however doesnt have the game base, and you know anything with the microsoft label is gonan grash 50% of the time...

ps2_ not as good as xbox but still has the best variety of games out of game system...

PC- upgradable, the most games.. full stop.. the only way to go.. if you run linux haha.. coz once again it has microsoft so it crashes.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
