Note: the new Metal Gear game - Metal Gear Solid: Rising - is a spin-off fromt he series (the "Tactical Espionage Action" tagline has been replaced by "Lightning Bolt Action")

lol with a title like "Lightning Bolt Action" it sounds as though they are trying to appeal to a younger generation... eg. 12 year olds and under... it sounds so cheesy.

agreed

I have sort of lost the love of the metal gear series, thinking of buying MGS4 to try and re-kindle it lol

I finished Metal Gear Solid (the original on PS one) about 8 times

I for one reason or another never got to coomplete MGS2

I finished MGS3 twice i think

I finished MGS1 so many times I've lost count...

MGS2 I've finished quite a few times but nowhere as much as MGS1

MGS3 I've started but never finished.... one day...

MGS4 I've finished out a dozen times

Oh and my collection of MGS consist of the following:

MGS + MGS Special Missions

MGS2 + MGS2 Substance

MGS3 Subsistence

MGS4 Collectors Edition

:D

new need for speed is looking very nice!

Yeah it does look nice :banana: . But some people might not like it as it's not like the older type need for speed styles like on the street or whatever. It should be good! The in car view looks great.

It's good that they (EA) are shifting the series again...this time to out and out racing - trying to compete with Race Driver GRID.

NFS: Most Wanted were very good as it was open world and sent me on a thrill ride but Porsche Unleashed is my all time favorite - manily due to me being able to blast around in the 959 (it's my favorite Porsche). The games physics were very good and was the first time you can customise cars and look nice. I don't like the silly autoscupt on the newer games because the options are very limited

Don't forget there are thre new NFS games coming out this year:

NFS: Shift on PC, Xbox 360, PS3, PSP, Mobile phones and iPhone. Release date September 2009

NFS: Nitro on Wii and DS. Expected Release date sometime in 2009 (Most likely Christmas time)

NFS World Online on PC. That's looks very interesting as it's an MMO (can't anyone remember Motor City Online??). Set in Rockport and Palmont (from NFS: Most Wanted and NFS; Carbon) and what even better - it's a free to play MMO game. It will have cop chases, co-op and team based cop play and whole bunch of cars. It's still unknown at this stage if it will have day and night cycles (hoping they do) - Expected release date - Christamas 2009 (Winter 2009 for our northern hemisphere people)

      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...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      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?
