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?

Greg. (WTF, Wheres my king Smiley!!)

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,

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
