3-0 to the Celtic boys, I don't know how. I played online today and got beat every game, just luck last night I think. Had a spin on my Burnout, top class, fast as fcuk, got my claim in for whiplash already. We'll have to get a PL fifa league or tourney set up, I've also got Tiger Woods so well up for a game of that too.

Thursdays good for me

Cheers for the tip Jon I might just dust off the driving gloves this am.

Ok kids, Thursday looks good, can we post up a preferred time, and then decide who wants to invite everyone else

Might actually get some of the 2,3,4,5 team challenges done

either that or we spend all the time crashing into each other

get urself lined up, then just boast straight at the ramp so that one of ur wheels hits the higher part of the ramp, use a stunt car or a speed car.

[lemonjon]

so we all tried to "sneak on" for a wee practice

good laugh, so we're still on tomorrow at 8

but you can control the landing by turning Left or Right as you land. Otherwise you can land on the sides.

Cheers for the tip about drifting in the baseball stadium.

Carl - having now played on Xbox360 and PS3 how do you compare the 2, gaming wise? I have only played on Xbox360 a few times at friends houses, I was impressed but I've always been a PS fan so went for the PS3.
Should still be fine for 8pm by the way, Girlfriend is at spiritualists so I'm home alone with baby, if I suddenly go offline its due to him waking up crying as he has got cold.

Do you all want to race or do the online challenges?

TBH as good as the PS3 is I do prefer the Xbox, game play wise theres no much different but I'm not too keen on the PS3 controllers. They feel cheap and too light and the trigger buttons feel weird.
The Xbox controllers are more solid and feel better.

I find the loading times a bit longer on the PS3 although abviously it depends on the game but it just seems a few seconds longer reading the discs.


The downloading of Demos is also slow compared to Xbox live but then again I suppose the servers have to cap it to a certain point due to it being free. But I think the Xbox Live is awesome for the price £40 for the year, its only the price of a game and just look at the hours extra you get from say COD4. So in terms of value its bloody good IMHO.

The PS3 needs a few exclusive games to come out to stamp its authority over the Xbox as its pretty close race but where as Microsoft are already building a new Xbox I can see the PS3 lasting longer so again Value for money it works out good because you know next year or the year after were not going to get the PS4.

Sony will launch a PlayStation 4, but not any sooner than 2010.
Until then, Sony will continue to upgrade the PlayStation 3 through firmware updates that will allow "for the introduction of third-party applications and hardware such as interactive controllers similar to Nintendo's Wii..." the site reported. The PS3's current controller, the Sixaxis, already has motion- and tilt-sensing capability.
The PS3 may also come with a keyboard and mouse in the future, be able to download third-party operating systems, and become "as much a media center for the home as it is a gaming machine," said Holman. His words echo statements made by Sony executives that the PS3's online store will offer downloadable music and video content, much like iTunes and Xbox Live Marketplace currently do.

Cheers for the game last night lads

am abit chuffed i won the overall standing in all the races, which is a first for me, but the two speed cars i use are fecken awesome.

also cheers to carl who is just a big road bully in his redneck wagon, taking everyone out

I managed to do over 6,000 yards at drifting aswell, i was watching u at it carl, what did you end up with?

[mowgli77]

I've only played it for an hour or so offline so still haven't got many cars. I was limited to half a dozen to choose from. Funny how I edited the routes and then kept getting lost. Is it worth getting one of those bluetooth headsets, I could hear Lemonjon a few times even though I don't have one, voices come from the TV now and again (or maybe I forgot to take my tablets ) and which would you reccomend? The one on Play.com for £24.99 gets good ratings. The girlfriend went into gamestation to enquire about one for me but he said every one they have sold has come back broken so must be a cheap make they are selling.

I wasn't sure whether to keep trying the challenges last night or just have a few races so tried to mix it up a bit. 1 win away from my next upgrade so I'll probably have a spin tonight. Ended up playing Fifa but couldn't find Big Gaz in the lobbies, I think he was hiding. For some reason Lemonjon your profile is not viewable now, wasn't in friends list, when I tried to add you it said already added but it was not visible.

Where did MoFace disappear? He was still shown as playing Burnout but was not in many of our races. Will probably catch a few of you online over the weekend.
