^What model TV?

 

[Brett]

Just got around and bought this.

After a weekend of playing BF3 and remembering why I liked the game so much, I am starting to lean towards pre-ordering BF4.

^What model TV?

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BCGRX9M/?tag=gtplanet-20

I got it for my parents kind of. They don't bother with HD much. I need it to play my XB1 on so.. I might be getting a TV from someone soon though I'm on a budget. I guess I can't really let my wallet rest quite yet. Hopefully I can get the 'Day One' edition One. It all depends on how much money I have saved up in a few months. 👍

 

[Bopop4]

Sweet, you got an awesome price on that.

 

[phillgt2002]

Sweet, you got an awesome price on that.

Yeah, it's a sweet TV. It's clearer than this Acer monitor I have in my room, although this Acer monitor isn't that bad. Hopefully we/I go all HD.

 

[nealcropper]

I just got my HDTV a couple days ago.

I don't care what people have to say about the XB1. It's a great console made even better without the DRM restrictions.

I'm smacking down some money for this once I get the chance.

Forgive my ignorance. How is restricting DRM making the console better?

They have removed the DRM.

It presumably won't say:

"We're sorry, but you played this game 5-10 years ago, at a different location, on a different piece of equipment. While there's only a snowball's chance in hell that this is a form of piracy, and you might have actually paid full price this same piece of media, we're going to snub your pang of nostalgia because you're not contributing to our coffers nor impressing our shareholders if we cater to your whim for reliving your memories of simpler, less-intrusive times."

Or thereabouts.

Figured I'd post this up and feel the hate

But ya, Day One Edition shipped directly from Microsoft. As soon as a LCE is announced for Forza 5 I'll be adding that too.

You are not alone. I will also be getting the X1 but I think I will be waiting until early 2014. Dedicated servers for every multiplayer game, trueskill matchmaking for every multiplayer game and much more.

I have a lot going on right now and the current events will determine what happens at the end of the year. Which I cant discuss, until the end of the year.

Exactly, I would love to know how someone can find anyway of saying that it makes the Xbox One better.

Surely removing the DRM restrictions would improve the console.

 

[Minty]

I think that is what he was saying.


And I'm in the process of saving fast for the X1. I honestly might pre-oreder Forza 5 first just so I can get the day one stuff, then the console whenever I can.

Be nice, man. They get all the way down into the 40's in the winter.

 

[Shaun]

That's right, and the 40's is bloody cold.
Out on the bike this morning is was 3 degrees celsius (37F) when I left so now I'm currently looking for something to keep my head warm under my helmet.

Balaclava. 👍

Honda shifter fork oil seal, old one went and now there's a small puddle of oil under the CRF.

 

[Shaun]

Balaclava. 👍

I thought about that after seeing a guy wearing one the other day while riding. Not sure I want my face covered though. I was thinking more of a skull cap type thing that will also cover the top of my ears but not hinder my hearing at all.

 

[DG_Silva]

You can get open face balaclavas though:

Ah ok thanks. May look into something like that.

The Touch EP on vinyl. Vinyl is transparent. All I need is a vinyl player now.

 

[nick09]

You should check garage sales. You can find amazing stuff. The one common problem you will run into is a broken drive belt and a replacement should not run you more than $10. Always ask them to power it up and try playing a vinyl if possible. You may also need to get a pre-amp tuner for the player too because sometimes they don't come with a built-in amp. You can find old pre-amp tuners at garage sales too.

Today was a great day for garage and thrift shopping. $5 for a PS1 console with 2 controllers in the box. The PS1 also came with a lame looking golf game inside(Hot Shots Golf 2). Then $8.24 for a dress shirt(wrinkle resistant!) and a sportcoat. Dress smart and cheap!

Along with a spare battery, chest mount, 32Gb SD card.

Other recent purchases include a flight to Canada to see my girlfriend. And Whistler.

 

[SPhilli911]

If, by any chance, you are going bike riding in Whistler be sure to bring the Go-Pro. 👍
