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

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
