Re: DJ Hero Discussion (3 years ago)
FYI it's $99 from EB Games today in their Mad Monday sale. I just ordered myself a copy. Is there much of a difference between the 360 and PS3 versions?

If you have been keeping up with LBP news, you most likely scored the lovely Summer Solstice Druid costume that was available for free till this week. If you missed out, not to worry, cause in celebration of Independence Day, our friends at Mm are paying tribute to Lady Liberty with one of the sweetest costumes to date- The Sacktue of Liberty. Since Liberty should be free for all, so is this costume, so grab it while you can! It's up now until July 9th so be sure to download this before you light your bottle rockets and start up the BBQ!

Scott, thanks for the post, UHF scanning will be fixed too.
The tuners are capable of HD but this is actually done in the software and we have no plans to change the hardware as you have said it works well on MPEG-2 (in the UK it is MPEG-2 at the moment) and we are perfecting it for MPEG-4.
Michael is correct but there may have been some information lost in translation, the work to ensure that HD works consistently well in all modes needs to be done for each country as broadcasters are different (even in the same country) so what he was inferring is that we will test HD in Australia and optimise it for there.
For example, one of the broadcasters use progressive playback and this is not done anywhere else so we need to make a change to ensure that PlayTV handles that correctly.
The stuttering that you get is also caused by the significant amounts of data carried by MPEG-2 HD (MPEG-4 HD carries less) so we need to get that to the HDD properly and we are in the process of testing the work we have done to reduce the stuttering.
Cheers
Mark

D4RhR4in, I have put more detail in the reply to Scott @176, so in summary for you the answer is we have no plans to change the hardware.

Re: PlayTV (3 years ago)
Yup, mine arrived today. Will have a play tonight. So any questions fire away.
The issues I know of are - no SBS, ABC HD stutters when recorded, HD can stutter when recorded while using the PS3 for other tasks.
The stuttering won't be much of an issue to me, I'll just play the 360 if I happen to be recording HD at the time. I usually only would like to record when not at home anyway.
Edit: Oh yeah, it cost me ~$130AUD delivered from gamestation.co.uk. Took a week from when I placed the order.

Re: HN has 160 gig PS3's (4 years ago)
It's not really a good deal. Do HN give you the 80GB HDD they take out? You can pick up a 120GB HDD for $65 or 320GB HDD for under $100 these days and DIY. You then have your original 80GB to use as a backup or to sell off go get some money back.

Re: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (4 years ago)
It really is a fun game. I couldn't put it down last night I ended up winning a house, but then forgot to save the game grrr. I like the "Dope Wars" integration. I remember playing that years ago!
I found an animated blue swirly thing in an alley near the auto trader. It kinda looks like a little tornado or a spawn pint or something. Anyone else seen it and know what it is?

Re: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (4 years ago)
I acquired it last night and had a bit of a play. I was never a fan of the 2d GTA's. I wasn't too sure that they could pull it off on the DS but they have. Top work Rockstar. I haven't won a house yet but have won a few grand and some fries Completed a few missions did some laps in the go-kart. The GF has a DS too so we may try out the multiplayer later.

Re: 1080i or 720p? (4 years ago)
I have a cheap 1366x768 lcd tv. I've tried my xbox360 with 720 and 1080. 1080 is a lot crisper that 720, even though my display is not full hd. 720 is a tad soft/blurry. I guess it's because 720 is scaled up to fit 768 and 1080 is scaled down to 768.
Short story - I run 1080.

Re: The Wii Homebrew Guide For Dummies (4 years ago)
I followed this guide Sunday and it worked great. Thanks!
It now works perfect for all Australian channels. ABC HD now works, and all SBS channels now work too.
Looks like all those doubters were wrong, we got the exact same version as UK, and it picks up all HD Australian channels perfect now.
Told you guys. The hardware was always going to be the same.
Now that its Freeview certified though, they got rid of the 1 minute skip function (basically you hit it 3 times, and it skips the adds in most shows), it wont work under Australian settings. You also cant export your shows onto the XMB when its under Aussie settings (again, a Freeview requirement).
Looks like consumers are worse off under Freeview.
