That's an epic couch! I want!

Thanks. I got the couch from Art Van. The thing is friggin awesome and we had no idea it had a back massage in each recliner. So that was an added bonus that we didnt expect at all. I am shocked how well the cooler works too. Keeps the beer ice cold. Its the most comfortable couch I have ever sat on in my entire life. It also reclines further than the pic shows. So you can recline it all the way back if you want. Well worth the purchase. Will be playing GT5 tonight in that bad boy.

My Logitech wheel showed up and had to download GTHD just to play with it. I wasn't very happy with it. I want to send it back. I went 4-5 seconds per lap slower with it over the regular DS3 controler! Defeats the purpose of having the damn thing! But, GTHD course is a twisty PITA that is difficult on this wheel.

The gas and brake are paddle shifters connected to the wheel and turning fast sharp turns while on the gas is next to impossible. Plus, the whole damn unit shakes because of the 'force feedback' and causes me to pick up the unti off my lap to reposition it time and time again. This slows me down the most, I think.

I'll wait for GT5 to arrive and getting use to the thing before passing final judgment. But, so far, I don't want the thing. I just hope is the sharp impossible turns of this one course that's causing the trouble and hope the regular courses in GT5 wont cause that much trouble for me. Plus, I hope the car physics are easier in GT5 compared to GTHD. I doubt it, though.

You need to get a stand for it. I was typically a second faster with a wheel than a DS3 once I got that sucker bolted down.

Not to mention it takes practice, you will get pissed off at it for a while until you start learning control over it....

 

[nick09]

Yeah... It's kinda hard to hold a steering wheel by your legs and still be able to use the pedals. You really do need to make a wheelstand for it. It's quite the requirement because of the FFB motor will make the wheel fly out of your legs.

 

[Legendary]

I attatch it to my desk because I play on an HD monitor, much easier solution to a problem I never had

One can still download GTHD? From where?

And yes, give the wheel a chance. You may never become faster with it (against the DS3), but the fun alone makes it worth.

If your PSN account has it in the download history, you can still download it without problem.

Just bought GT5, first thing I did was kiss the case.

ditto....but the real question is were you brave enough to do it in store....as the cashier handed to you....hmmmm????


Other than GT5 my latest purchase was today, my 1st apple product evarr!!
Ipod touch 64gb



Bought to replace my trusty 6 year old iriver, it was going strong until my dad trod on it while it was charging snapping the charger pin . I was intending to use is as storage but 30gb doesnt get you far these days....

Now im going to have to install and learn itunes

So if GT_Prologue5 kisses Gran Turismo 5, is that like incest?

 

[Takumi Fujiwara]

I've been wanting a good point & shoot for ages. I feel naked without a camera, but my SLR rigs aren't exactly easy to lug around.

Found this at Fry's today. It was the demo model, so no box or battery, but it was only $250, plus $12 for a discounted battery. Pretty decent price, I think. Seems to function perfectly, there's a tiny chip or two but no big deal. Worth saving the $150 over the S95 too, I think, considering the only real difference is HD video that I'm not gonna use anyway.

Nope. Come on it was Black Friday, I was tired, all I could think about was getting home.

So if GT_Prologue5 kisses Gran Turismo 5, is that like incest?

Maybe. I'll never tell you. Only I know that answer.

 

[Event]

black friday haul (from the comfort of my own home!). These were things I needed anyway, so I dont feel guilty!

plus extra battery, charger and hard case $99

$13 ($40 off retail)

 

[ExternalAU]

Like many others, I got GT5, but I got the Signature Edition.

I also got my new 24" LEDTV last week to double as my PC monitor. Pretty good so far.

 

[Sharky.]

Audiosurf, Beat Hazard (already own it), BIT.TRIP BEAT, The Polynomial and Rhythm Zone for five bucks US. Why would I say no to that?

 

[Tommi]

I also bought half a tank of Unleaded for my car.

 

[Aldo]

Damn those Etnies are hot
What are they called?
I am willing to bet that the half tank cost about the same as all of that put together...

Suprisingly, no. I think it was about £28, the other stuff was quite a bit more.

The etnies are called Metal Mulisha Fader.

Haha, the tank must be smaller than I thought it would be then
Sweet, might need to steal those from you

What is The Inbetweeners? If it's popular over there I need to be prepared for the inevitable US version.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

What is The Inbetweeners?

Hilarious teenage awkwardness.


Bumder!

Impossible to watch....

Traded tat for tat.

 

[vfrmaverick]

Gt5

 

[Azuremen]

To replace my full size Rosewill, which will be sold off to a friend. Will be nice because the size makes it fit perfect in my bag for going to work, LANs, etc.

 

[Submerged]

Impossible to watch....

Traded tat for tat.

....how can you trade a tat for a tat? I am assuming it is a tat that you have not yet inked on your body that you traded the design for this rose/poppy flower one?
