I bought Halo 4 for ?18. I was the third owner. I sold it a week later for ?15. I bought Sleeping Dogs for around the same amount and sold it at a loss of ?4 total. The second hand market is a godsend for me. I can buy a game and sell it a week or two later and get back 75-80% of what I paid for...

Great news for UK folks. http://www.threemediacentre.co.uk/Pr...emium-2f0.aspx Three won't be charging extra for LTE when they launch their service later this year. Their DC-HSDPA service is already twice as quick as my home broadband - I'm curious to see how their 4g service will fare. If...

Both would work, to be honest. I imagine the iPad would be better, though, because of its 4:3 screen ratio. Just make sure you get a 'retina' class tablet - it makes a big difference with books and text heavy content.

Ah, ok. I was watching it on my PC through the Netflix site. I'll give the PS3 a go. Cheers.

I doubt Microsoft will kill off the second hand market completely. I imagine they'll release DLC unlock keys that will allow second hand disks to be run on other consoles, similar to what they do currently with multiplayer unlock keys.

This is why Microsoft will dominate next gen. Well, in the US anyway. I don't see how Sony will be able to compete with that sort of pricing.

HD. There's been banding issues, compression artifacts and dropped frames/pulldown issues, too. There seems to be a difference in colours between the broadcast version and the netflix version, too (http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/6171). I'm not sure which of the two is 'correct'...

This show is incredible. I've binged on the first 7 episodes over the past few days and I've been loving it. Netflix instant watch quality is pretty shitty, though. This show deserves better. Hopefully it gets a blu-ray release at some point.

Brad Bird. Instead, he's off making a film penned by Lindeloff. Eurgh.

Mobile chipsets are improving by leaps and bounds every year. It's crazy how far they've come in such a short amount of time. Stuff like Epic Citadel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0phPgXeRm78), for example, runs at 2048x1536 at 60fps on the iPad 4. Apple is in the middle of refreshing their...

Microsoft needs all the help it can get. They're in a bad, bad place right now. Consumers don't care about Windows RT, Windows Phone 8 is struggling in the marketplace, and Windows 8 isn't performing too well, either. The same OEMs that made Windows RT tablets (Asus, Acer, Dell, Samsung etc.)...

Selling at a massive loss like $199 would have created its own set of problems, mainly devaluing the brand and leaving Microsoft with very little room to maneuver in terms of scope with future Surfaces. They would have majorly pissed off every OEM that they work with, too. 750,000 is an...

I've been running stock and I'm really happy with it. I'm quite tempted to try Paranoid Android, though. The new PIE navigation system looks pretty sweet.

Yeah, seriously. If you get some benefit from it, buy it. I've downloaded TONS of yoga DVDs and DDPs is the only one I've actually liked. I had no problem paying for it since it helped me immeasurably. Another good program is the 'foundation' program. It's a program for fixing your posterior...

Who cares? You can buy a 64gb sdcard and use that. 128gb cards will be on their way soon, too. I don't understand the internet outrage about this.

ThunderBolt isn't Apple tech -- it was designed by Intel. [Edit - Just checked; Intel designed it in collaboration with Apple. If I'm reading this right, Intel owns the spec. (]http://www.anandtech.com/show/5425/w...anytime-soon)]It used to be known as 'light peak' before it was rebranded to...

At the moment, there aren't many uses for ThunderBolt/Light Peak. It's still a new tech and it's in the middle of being rolled out. High res monitors and external hard drives seem to be the most commonly used pieces of hardware at the moment. I imagine 4k/"retina" monitors, which will be...

Sega didn't purchase the rights to the Homeworld IP, unfortunately. THQ will be auctioning them off in a few weeks time. Hopefully someone competent buys them.

Ok, you defeated my argument completely. I didn't notice Kershner made a low budget made for TV sci-fi flick when he was a novice filmmaker. Shit. ... Honestly, I think it's a dumb argument. There's been tons of directors who have entered genres that they've had little to no experience in...

The Surface is the new 'cool' thing to have? That might be the funniest thing said in this thread so far. Well done.

The best Star Wars flick was made by a guy who had zero experience with sci-fi/fantasy. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0449984/ Affleck's a talented director. I think he could made it work.

DDP's Yoga program is surprisingly legit. I did it on the recommendation of a friend after I hurt my back deadlifting - my back has never felt better. It's up for download on IPT - give it a go. He's in pretty impressive shape for a 56 year old, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWBl2v0S4BQ

Ben Affleck would have been an interesting choice. His first three movies were excellent. Argo was one of my favourites of 2012, in fact. I reckon he could have done a great job with Star Wars.

I'm ok with Abrams. Star Trek 2009 was very entertaining, and 'Into Darkness' looks great, too. Hopefully he can deliver with Star Wars. Abrams coming onboard pretty much confirms that Giacchino will be doing the score, too. That will be fucking awesome.

I have one of them (different brand - about 11000mah capacity). I can charge my Retina iPad up to full battery once, which gives me about 14-16 hours of battery life. The iPad mini has a 4500mah battery so you'd get two full charges - would be good for 22-24 hours or so. Indeed. The Surface Pro...

The next generation of phones are going to be insane. I'm really interested to see what will come out of Mobile World Congress next month. http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/18/38...s-leaked-rumor

Agreed. Chrome + extensions is hard to beat. The built in tab-expose is awesome, too. http://i.imgur.com/YpoS4.png

You don't need to seed to get ratio on what.cd. The easiest way to get upload credit is to fill requests. I just had a look and found a request with a 40gb bounty. It was on sale at Amazon.co.uk for ?1.25. So, I ordered the CD and it'll be here in a few days. That's an easy 40gb of upload credit...

That looks really nice but fuck is it expensive. I think I'll stick with my vertical dock, for now.

Get a Macbook Pro if you're going to do that. The extra cpu/gpu power will be useful for driving those monitors. Also, get one of these -- http://www.hengedocks.com You connect your power cables, usb, thunderbolt etc. to the dock itself and it automatically connects them to your...

I'm pretty sure you can apply for an invite to what.cd through their IRC channel. Check this -http://www.whatinterviewprep.com

I think you missed the point. He's pointing out that OSX is just as open as Windows is. You can do whatever you want with it and Apple isn't going to stop you. It's an open environment - it's not locked down like IOS is, and the terminal/unix underpinnings are proof of that. A lot of posters...

I put it in my backpack but forgot to close the zip. It fell out when I stood up and crashed onto the floor. I'm 6ft3 and I was standing on a raised step so I'm guessing the height was around 6ft. Might have been slightly less. And yeah, I've seen plenty of laptops that were damaged as a...

Mobile World Congress will be happening next month. Tons of new phones will be shown off. If you can wait 'til then, you should. Barring that, might be worth checking out the Sony Xperia Z. It looks like a good phone. I have no idea if Sprint will be carrying that in the US, though.

I left it on the floor next to my bed. Stood on it in a half asleep-half awake daze. It was dumb, I know. Is this some sort of weird sarcasm? I have no idea what you're trying to say. I have a Windows desktop and I currently have a Macbook. I think both OSX and Windows are great operating...

Macbooks are made out of machined aluminium. This means that they're sturdy as hell and can survive some really hard knocks. I've dropped mine from 6ft onto concrete and it worked perfectly afterwards. I've also stood on it by accident and it didn't even get dented. Macbooks are by far the best...

I lost a laptop because someone tripped over my power cable and sent it flying. The magsafe is worth it for me. :P The power adapters are pretty shoddy, though. I've been through 4 of them because the cables keep fraying and breaking down. Not good.

You have to remember that it's near the end of the current Macbook lifecycle, too. According to the Macrumors buyers guide, it's been 217 days since the MBPs were last updated. They update, on average, every 267 days. Since Apple don't drop the price of their laptops, they become worse and worse...
