Maybe EA and M$ have the same guy making the decisions on how best to piss off paying customers.

There is No maybe about that little fact, one of the more senior execs at MS in the Xbone division was VERY high up at EA for a long time

also, when is ps4 release date?

and will it have back play?

love my ps range.

"Holidays 2013" so I'd say November.

No backwards compatibility. Not sure why people actually care about this feature. It's not like your old machine suddenly disappears if you buy a new one, and besides the PS2 no machine has ever really done backwards compatibility anyway. The 360 had limited compatibility that was gimped to say the least. I'd rather a machine with no backwards compatibility then gimp a new machine to make it work with old games.

In the plus side, PSN will be doing digital distribution of 'critically acclaimed' PS1, PS2 and PS3 games :)

Glenfiddich Master is a stupidly over priced 12 year old whisky. Double wood ageing does not mean you can suddenly start charging $100 a bottle fo what is essentially the same shit they sell for $50 a bottle. At the $100 price point I could give you a list of whiskies as long as my arm that are better value for money.

or you could pay a smidgen more and buy Glenfiddich 18 year old where a single malt is also aged in the same mix of barrels and using the same process as the Master.

How you get away with charging nearly the same for a 12 year old as an 18 year old when they are aged in an almost identical process is unknown to me... That is some clever marketing.

agree but it is predominantly a marketing game. having said that SM whiskys start at $50-$60 per bottle. That Glenfiddich Master is being :wub: by me FTM.

Glenfiddich Solera Tun 15 year old for starters. Same mix of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks for maturation and a significantly longer maturation time in each before blending to achieve the flavour profile.

Got it, but not opened it. Will see what it brings and how it compares to its younger brother (14yo. american oak casks - which is too dry for me but still very nice)

Killed that 18y.o. bottle, absolutely sensational - hints of apple, cinnamon and custard - t'is all marketing Andrew you know that.

Best value for money IMO - Highland Park 12 yo. (if you like it smokey :yes: )

forgot to mention that the Glenfiddich Distillery Edition (15yo) is also fantastic at 51% proof and non-chill filtered (can get a 1litre bottle for less than 120 big ones) got two bottles at home - very spicy

Boz - "the man" when it comes to scotches

I have asked and been school by him before :)

wot u talkin bout.....you get taken to school everyday :woot:

Talisker 10, Ardberg 10 and Glenmorangie 10 are all my picks for the bang for buck singles. All around the $70 a bottle mark :)

Got Ardbeg 10 and Uigeadail - very different from most - smoky but delicate and powerful at same time - hints of cookies and cream (yum)

Glenmorangie owns Ardbeg but my fav out of all Glenmorangie I have is the Nectar D'or - wonderful whiksy (half way through it) - butterscotch, grilled peanuts come to mind wow!

My go to is Laphroaig Quarter Cask :) Love me some Islay malts.

I'm a highland man - with HP being my favourite collection - Glenfiddich is warming up to me though :cheers:

have and tasted many more like - HP 25yo words cannot describe this - plus just got voted 100 points (musky nose, white chocolate and christmas cake, unbelievably drinkable)

Suntory SM also awesome - I could write a book about this ;)

I think that Japanese whiskies are way understated from a market share point of view. They are if not already better than some scotch whiskies.

Have 12 yo Yamazaki - very nice - lots of sherry with hints of caramel and sultanas

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
