Do you get the magazine?? Blame James May for that!! Yep get it every month, Even after cancelling my subscription 12months ago, their still sending it to me free magazine!

looking at the 360's specs, really it's a PC! XBOX 360 SPECS CPU with three IBM PowerPC 3.2Ghz cores ATI 500MHz graphics processor 48 billion shader operations per second 512Mb GDDR3 RAM of memory Removable and upgradeable 20Gb hard drive Three USB ports Windows Media Extender built-in Support for DVD-video, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R, CD-DA, CD-R, WMA CD, MP3 CD, Jpeg photo CD basically it's a PC that you can only play on Oh and the much acclaimed GOW runs on the Unreal 3 engine... now where did I hear that name from....? Developed by Epic.. again the name sounds familiar...hmmm

so? they still stuff you with the games prices anyway

he wasn't at silverstone, he was on the TG track

that's just user error

only because every kid and his dog can plug a dvd into a console and play a game, (hence their popularity) it doesn't mean that those games are the best, at all. In fact quite the opposite. For the intelligent and discerning gamer, console games are so dumbed down and uncomplicated (to appeal to exactly that mass market you just mentioned) it's just not funny But fair enough, enough casual gamers will want the hassle free dumbed down console games. each to their own Chris, why do you keep talking about telly resolutions? 1080p wooo the latest in telly definition, bet your tv doesn't even support it! To run higher resolutions, it's going to end up being cheaper to upgrade your PC components than your plasma every year or so so that you can run any PC game at any resolution you'd like. Even mainstream PC gfx cards nowadays are better performaing that an xbox360 gpu the Xbox360 hardware is already 1 year old! in terms of technology you can basically call it obsolete. And as for complexity, you got the wrong end of the stick: when you mention this fabled GOW complexity, you just quoted the awkwardness of the controller, right there!

you can tell by that answer that you are not a racing sim fan you just said the most advanced racing simulation EVER on any platform is nothing special only as you looked at the pictures of the game

which is just an abysmal game in my books (and always better on PC anyway, again ) just to reiterate, consoles at any given point in their life (save probably at lauch but then again their hardware is already old when they hit the stores ) will not be capable of running the best PC games. Is GTR 2 out for consoles btw? Now that is proper driving sim, for example. tell a console to reproduce that http://www.trustedreviews.com/gaming/re ... 0/GTR-2/p1

it would save you 1 extra geometry check Marc

yeah but they have VERY cool stone emblems to choose from, haven't they? so was the car originally silver or black? did you just do 1 or the 2 colours or both?

and be stuck with ugly games forever

are the rims OZ vela? proper bi/colour too! you are missing the VS emblem at the front too looks hot

that's also the biggest DISADVANTAGE of consoles. And once ayear is plenty with regards to upgrading. in fact, not even as often as that. Now of course if you are not capable/knowledgeable enough of doing that yourself, you should stick to console games, even kids can use those

when you say console games have better graphics than PC games I hope you are kidding! PS PC multiplayer games are in every aspect much superior than console games. I am actually looking forward to the day when PC gamers will be able to wipe their arses with console gamers over the net Imagine playing the same FPS on the net with PC gamers using proper controls and console players trying to play it with a gamepad PPS if you think the xbox360 looks good on a plasma, use that DVI connection and hook up any decent PC and play any recent title (hell even FEAR or Oblivion, 1 year old games!) and then compare only one thing console games are superior is multiplayer same room games. (ie when you have your mates around and play the same game on dual controllers) console hardware is fixed to whatever you have insude your console, and game developers are stuck with it for the lifecycle of the console. PC games hardware gets upgraded every few months and pc games developers can take advantage of ever increasing powerful hardware. For that reason only consoles will never reach the complexity/beauty of PC games. hell they even dumbed down COD3 for consoles! Any strategy game is too complex for console hardware to process, as well as higher resolutions for graphically demanding games are simply not achievable on consoles

Indeed, nor has he played Halo. The game has to be suited for it, you wont just port Quake 3 to the xbox360 for instance, that wouldnt work. BTW, on my desk if have a nice black Xbox360, aka the XDK played (and finished) Halo on PC and it was an ok game, very repetitive scenarios, good physics for a console game. Console games are just that. Sorry but i can't bring myself to like them, nevermind consider them better than PC games. you guys are getting excited at multiplayer capabilities.... I played Quake in multiplayer a good 1,5 decades ago

very good numbers

fixed the pic for you

did you put the 2.8 software on yours?

nice one licking Hamster http://www.nevetas.co.uk/modules.php?se ... _photo.php

haven't decided yet, tbh. I got the UTEC from Jaysen, admin of 350z-tech, he's already got a NA map on it tuned by Japtrix, and for mods very similar to mine (intake, plenum, test pipes and exhaust) so should be a very good starting point. I'll be installing it myself (I had a look at the manual and looks easy enough... famous last words ) and on map 0 it runs the stock map so that'll be a good starting point to see if it works ok. I'll give Jaysen's map a try and also have another couple of maps from my350z I will upload, but ultimately i will want tuning. Thor: depends if they've had any experience up to now, otherwise might as well let TDi North or Chris from WRC have a go as the theroies are the same, and the sotware looks straightforward enough to me so it's got to be a piece of cake for people who know what they are doing. Will be interesting doing a bit of data logging on map 0 to see what's my AFR with the mods on and take it from there.

come on you lot, off you go (specifically sl114 and Sarnie, although in the last couple of days sl114 has been behaving) see how long P15 Mark and Chubbs (and now baptist) put up with your spammage

eh? he only lives in Belper, not Timbuktu! I went to his and we did it in one day @*!# just notice the spelling mistake

digital pic will do, should come out ok I think so did you get Sharif over of was the same tuner who built your engine? My UTEC is on its way

we need dyno charts!

there's a video somewhere too, either google or youtube i think.
