XBOX360 - Project Gotham Racing 3 footage


Now i am a PS2 owner myself so i've never had the pleasure of playing any PGR version. I have seen screenshots though and i have always been impressed, I can only assume it plays as well as Gran Turismo 4 ( love it ). Anyway here is a link to some footage i think looks incredible, and might even have me buy a 360 instead of a PS3

Cardboard PC Case


DIY PC enthusiasts should have gotten wind of this environmentally friendly, recyclable PC case already.
Manufactured by Japanese company Lupo, it is constructed entirely out of cardboard.
All you need to do is remove perforated sections of the cardboard into the respective parts, fold along the lines as directed, and voila!
A perfectly functional PC case that’s biodegradable.
I’m not too sure what happens should a component overheat and burn the entire case into a pile of ashes though.

How to annoy your neighbours!

In the old days when me and the neighbourhood guys were bored , we would go out with our remote controls, stand in form of the neighbours' houses and change the channels.
This guy does exactly the same but has 4 remotes and is doing this during a footballmatch ( soccer for the us people ) of Holland

YES Modchips are legal!

As we already knew, modchips have been declared legal in Australia:
The free trade agreement which Australia signed with the US last year and which came into effect this year stipulates that copyright laws here have to be aligned with those in the US by 2007.

According to the FTA, consumers cannot circumvent "effective technological measures" that control access to a tech device.

All six judges of the High Court held that widely used mod-chips are legal and that playing a game on a consumer's machine does not constitute an illegal copy.

This of course is completely logical as you buy a console it is YOURS not from MS, Nintendo or Sony

New battery for the PSP

Sony is introducing a new, strogner batterypack for the PSP.

The new battery has the same size, but 20% more power and works at 2200 mAH

On the same day as the battery ( Oct 27th ) they will also introduce a 1gb Memory Stick
Expect this one though to be more expensive than 3rd party ones.

Both accessories haven't been announced yet for the USA or Europe, but will probably not take long.

Saturday....

Yesterday i had a day off... For me that is unusual, I've been working my *ss off at a bank ( i will not mention any names)for the last 3 years but it looks like better times ( promotion ) are coming up ahead.
I've decided that if the job doesn't come to me I will find something better.

Today i've discovered that my bus has changed its route again
As i live in a suburb, public transport here sucks bigtime. As of monday it will not come near my house for a whole week! I have to walk for like 15 minutes before i can grab my bus which comes once every half an hour.
Sometimes i whish i was living in Amsterdam again... they're never on time but at least one has multiple options on what to take.

Ah well, it probably is a good way to lose the weight i gained over the last 6 months
