According to this 1oz of chips is about 200mg of salt, so 1kg of chips = 35.3 oz or 7.08 g of salt.

The RDI for an adult is 0.9 to 2.3g of salt.
http://www.healthyeatingclub.org/info/books-phds/books/foodfacts/html/data/data5a.html

So ... 3-4 times RDI

A burger with lg fries looks to be around 1.5g, so it doesn't look like it will be lethal

we should try and get a crew together to buy a case of games when something new/popular comes out and get a bulk discount, but I'm not sure where we'd buy in volume from.
I tried my hand at buy & selling games, the discounts I got were pretty poor (often places like CDWow etc were selling games at the same price I was buying them). Often a game that retailed for $100 cost me about $80, which was about the same price that Target, JB etc would sell them at, and I had to factor in postage too.

Another gotchya is that you often have to put an order in before release (to guarantee stock), if it's a dud game people obviously won't want to buy it and you sell at a loss.
Re: Rock Band 3 goes Pro (2 years ago)
I like the idea of getting a Squier too, please be sure to post here with any retailers you find (maybe could get a bulk purchase discount if there's enough of us?). I've contacted a few guitar shops but have had no reply.
Re: Rock Band 3 goes Pro (2 years ago)
Sadly it looks like RB is going to have another dud Australian release.

Game is only stocking the game. And EB isn't selling bundles, so a Keyboard + game is going to cost you $237 ($138 + $99).

I suspect I'll just be importing the game only when the price drops, which is a shame because the keyboard looked fun and I like the RB experience better than GH
^^ agreed

It has done to Breakout what Super Stardust did to Asteroids
Is the Australian release date still the 9/9?

EB Games says TBC

What is it with the Rock Band franchise and Australia?

No RB2 to be seen and I'm still waiting for a date for Rock Band Unplugged

They want to turn us into mindless sheep, which is one reason they keep pouring the fluoride into our water... to dumb us down.

Now Geelong residents, Aus, are being forced to have fluoride in their drinking water. It's not to strengthen our teeth. If I wanted stronger teeth I'll brush them.

Geelong News article.
http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/police-patrol-mps-house-after-fluoride-death-threat-20090622-cu0j.html

There is ONE pro reason for fluoride in our water and DOZENS of dangerous negative reasons NOT to have it in our drinking water. Bone degradation, lower iq, makes you passive, DNA damage etc. Wake the F up people.
Hmmm, so fluoride causes low iq and they DON'T have fluoride in Geelong ... I think I've found a hole in your argument right there! icon_razz.gif

It's all just fluff to air the fact that Sony's royalties are eating into Activision's profits.
I agree with you on this point.

I think Activision see an opportunity to increase the profitability of their PS3 games division (due to lower sales numbers and higher dev times) ... as it is every companies duty to pursue higher profits for their shareholders.

I'm sure Sony and Activision will have an 'open and frank discussion' and they'll come to some agreement.

Many CEOs use the media to force their point, even if they don't intend to go through with the threat.

PlayTV To Launch In Oz 4th Quarter 08, Sub-$200
By Nick Broughall on April 29, 2008 at 1:36 PM


There’s been a few rumblings recently about the PlayTV’s European launch, but at a briefing today in Sydney, Sony announced that Australia will be getting the PlayTV in the fourth quarter this year, for less than $200, although official pricing and release dates are still to be confirmed.

Just wondering, do you use surge protectors on your power supplies?
(due to losing 2 consoles in such a short time span)
I'd be curious to know what the sales figues for CoD 4 are on the PC compared to the PS3.

I would have thought the PS3 would be higher due to lack of piracy.
Re: Love to Hate #1 (3 years ago)
My pet hate is 'grinding' in RPGs.
he he .. just stirring

I have both consoles, and like them both - but saying that is a bit boring icon_smile.gif

That said if a multi platform game comes along, chances are I'll get the PS3 version (provided both versions are the same quality).

Dude more people own 360's, especially in the Western Market.
true ... but what % of them are still working? icon_wink.gif
you could just stick the original PS1 disc in?
I wish the distributors would hurry up and get this game out there. I really like it's Amplitude like game play.

The PS Store already has the tracks for downloading.

I left the service running for about an hour and it used around 700Mb, is this roughly what others are seeing?
+1 for the 'no buy until UMD coversion' group

yeah the 360 version is region locked

I found the subject of this thread funny given the 360's RRoD issue.

You can grab the standalone RB2 (for the 360, at least) from cdwow.com.au, that's what I did anyway.
None there icon_sad.gif

edit: though game.co.uk does! icon_smile.gif
Agreed.

Though for me gameplay will always be more important than graphics ... if they stuff that up it will make a game unplayable (eg Me and My Katamari - PSP), if the graphics aren't 100% but the gameplay is spot on it's something I can live with (eg God Hand).

The sortable spreadsheet has been updated once more.
This is a great addition.

An improvement on it would be to add a gadget ...

Table
By Google
An interactive table with filters and grouping.
And save it as a new sheet.

edit: I've just done it - btw, you might want to make the sheet less public
I played it too.

The controls take a bit of getting used to (from memory?) they are like Syphon Filter.
I think the mid year Sony Bravia + bonus PS3 deal would have reduced Christmas numbers too

Re: Lips Review (4 years ago)
I quite liked the game, but yeah it's not as good as Singstar esp now Singstar has the patch that allows you to play old PS2 discs.

Where is the replay facility for hat extra humiliation? :D

I'm waiting for the Rock Band/GH patch to use the Lips mics
What I want to know is when are they going to drop the price of hard drives for the 360 to something reasonable??

I really like the new feature coming out of running games from your HDD, but it's pretty pointless for those of us with 20G drives as you only have about 9G free.

edit: for those people that downloaded 1 XBox original game I'm guessing the feature will be pretty much pointless
Re: Lips gets localised (4 years ago)
Anyone know if the microphone is compatible with Guitar Hero/Rock Band?
Well actually the mail says "September 31st, 2008" icon_razz.gif icon_smile.gif

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't notice the short expiry date.

I just tried to download then and it worked OK, so go figure?

PS thanks for the code guys! Now, I just gotta get the game ... thanks to this site I know it's on sale at Game ($69) icon_biggrin.gif
