    I believe they only added the new plans in the last week. Just came across this, too -https://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/kimsufi.xml ?2.99gbp ($4.62usd) per month for 500gb on a 100mbps up/down line. Crazy cheap.

    Great, thanks for the info. I think I'll go for the whatbox.

    Quite tempted to swap over to the new Whatbox FlexNL plan. $15 a month for 360gb of space and 2tb of upload credit is a damn good deal (https://whatbox.ca/plans/flexnl). Anyone on here using the NL boxes? If so, how are you finding the service? Edit - Feralhosting look promising, too...

    I've just finished reading the Anandtech article about Logan (http://anandtech.com/show/7169/nvidi...-mobile-kepler) and I'm pretty blown away. Basically, it's a mobile GPU with better performance than the PS3 and the 8800gtx, but it runs on only 2W of power. It's 5x more powerful than the GPU...

    The new Nexus 7 looks great, but the poor app selection puts me off completely. Hopefully things will be better on that front in a year or two. I've got my fingers crossed for a retina iPad Mini at the moment - I'll be really disappointed if Apple don't make the upgrade this year.

    I grabbed an invite for PTP and x264.me. Between those sites and HDBits, I should be covered. Thanks for the info.

    Like I said a few pages ago, they try to do this every generation in the UK but the market rejects it. The prices always go down shortly after launch. The RRP figure is also misleading. Games are very rarely sold at the RRP over here. GTA5, for example, has an RRP of ?55...

    I'm moving away from IPT, too. It's just too big. It feels like the modern equivalent of demonoid, and people are going to get burned eventually. My plan, at the moment, is to use BTN for tv stuff and hdbits for movie stuff. I'm on the lookout for a backup movie tracker, though - any opinions...

    How To Train Your Dragon 2

    The first one is one of my favourite 3d animated flicks: an unexpected gem with awesome 3d. I'm really looking forward to the next one.

    Well, this is interesting. I just came across a 'pay as you go' seedbox service. It costs $7 for 1TB of bandwidth (this includes download and upload, so if you download 1gb and seed 1gb, this counts as 2gb total bandwidth), and they give you 20gb for free each month. Should be good for light...

    I'm not impressed at all by this game. It looks like a run of the mill shooter, which is par for the course when it comes to the Killzone franchise, sadly. I'll be passing on this, I think.

    The camera saves two photos - a full resolution 38MP shot that can be accessed through a computer, and an 8MP shot for sending via email/instant message and what not. Nokia's pureview tech is pretty damn amazing, though (check out the DPreview of the Pureview 808 to learn more about it...

    The market will reject it and they'll lower the RRP, which is exactly what happened at the start of this gen when some publishers tried to bump prices up. It's not really that big of a deal. The RRP is generally a worthless figure, anyway. Case in point, GTA5 has an RRP of ?55 (according to...

    I haven't tried to build up my ratio or anything and I think my stats are already quite ridiculous. This is how my IPT stats look after 6 months of being on the site - I just load up a torrent on my seedbox, leave it on for as long as possible, and delete old torrents when my box gets...

    ..Or just get a fucking seedbox. It'd fix all your problems in one fell swoop, and a cheap one only costs a paltry $5-$7.50 a month. If you can't afford that, then end yourself. You're already saving so much money from pirating shit anyway - just pay for the convenience.

    Just get a seedbox. $6 a month from seed.st if you don't want to spend much. Leave the torrents on 24/7 and you'll have no problems with hit and runs or ratio. If you want complete anonymity, gbox.me have cheap seedboxes and they accept bitcoins.

    Yeah, it was a power/performance issue. Basically, to ensure compatibility with 10" iPad apps, Apple had the choice of fitting the Mini with a 1024x768 screen or a 2048x1536. If they would have chosen a resolution in the middle, like 1536x1152, graphics would have looked blurry and pretty...

    Are people still harping on about this? The iPad 3 was already underpowered and shitty at pushing Retina resolutions. Mine constantly drops frames when I'm doing the most basic of tasks, which is annoying. The iPad Mini, which has an even weaker SoC, would have had even worse performance...

    I prefer Sony's approach. If the batteries are running low, I can plug the controller in to my laptop, one of the many usb power plugs I have laying around, or the console itself. Thinking about it, I don't think I've ever had a problem charging my PS3 controllers.

    Wait, the family sharing plan was a glorified demo platform? Hahahaha. That's hilarious. I'm actually quite disappointed Microsoft scrapped it now - I would have loved to see the Xbox execs squirm while being questioned about it.

    Yes. I went from a "definite no" to a "maybe in a year or two". DRM was a dealbreaker for me. I doubt I'm the only one.

    Wow, that's surprising. I never would have expected Microsoft to make changes so quickly. Well, in that case, I think I'll pass on the Xbox One for launch, but I might consider picking it up in a year or two depending on the quality of its library.

    Are you using wifi or ethernet? My PS3 downloads slow as fuck through wifi, even if it's next to the router, while it maxes out my internet connection through ethernet. I can't think of any reason why they won't have fixed that problem with the PS4.

    Apple isn't going to release a console. Let me explain why. For the longest time, I thought Apple would add an app store to the AppleTV and they'd put games on it, but the fact that they haven't yet makes me think it's not going to happen. Apple's goal is to center your gaming around your...
