Thats correct. Microsoft have officially dropped the price of the 360 in Australia.

The cost of a Premium console has dropped from $649 RRP to $579 RRP.

And the core pack is now $399 from $499.

Certainly is good value (always was)

Interesting now that the core console is the same price as a wii. So side by side you can guess which one will make peoples jaws drop.

But the wii does come with biulit in memory, and a pack in game.

Sony currently have there console with a bonus controller, and 2 games for 999.95 (good way to please early adoptors) but will need to do something seeing as how an 360 is almost half price now.

In other news though i got a US model 60 gig PS3 for 450 australian dollars. Now thats good value.

My cousin in the army in iraq managed to get me one for 399 US dollars, which with the exchange rate will be about 450.

So i should have it when his deployment is over which is next month i beleive.

Excellent value and i can't wait to get it.

I already have a DVD player.

And i'll have no problem playing with australians on ps3 games. It would be dumb if you can only play with people from the same country.

With there being only 60,00 ps3's in australia and not everyone being online or having the same game. The servers would be pretty empty.

Damn how'd you get that so cheap? Ebay's your friend? I want a next gen console but would rather wait for the ps3 because of GT5.

Played gt concepts or watever it is the free 'game' on the Sony Store. Even though it only includes a couple of cars and one track. Did not like it at all, didn't feel as real as forza, doing jumps, not getting damaged, very weird handling and really not compareable to the physics behind forza...Is not even close to the league of Forza Mororsport 1 or 2. If you really like simulation get a 360. That way when u hit a wall, you won't just bounce off! And you'll also be able to upgrade the body kits ;-) Swap engines ;-)

I want a ps3 cos it is an insane piece of technology, being able to run linux from stock form, upgradable hdd etc, and it looks so pretty. BUT i will be getting a 360 cos the games like HALO and FORZA and GEARS OF WAR and PROJECT GOTHAM RACING won't be coming out on ps3. which sucks.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
