    Speaker Placement 5.1

    I have mine set up like that but with the front speakers either side of the TV (from your picture your corner may not be big enough for that?). It sounds very good calibrated with audyssey. I would try and get your front speakers symmetrical around the TV. 95% of the sound is coming through...

    Blu-ray Victorious

    Blu-ray is worth it for the lossless audio alone. MGS4 and FF13 will not fit on a DVD. To say that games don't need the extra space at all is simply wrong imo.

    The Hardest Degree?

    Very interested to see the votes for chemical engineering. I didn't think it was well known but I certainly had more work, and more difficult work than any of my friends and that included physics, chemistry students and 2 medical students. The effort pays off very well though, especially at...

    Uh-oh. PS3 'Orange Box' fails.

    How are sales suffering? It's doing relatively better than the PS1 and PS2 and they didn't do so bad. The fact is people here are completely unrepresentative of the population. There are over 100 million Ps2 owners who have yet to buy a 'next gen' console.

    Uh-oh. PS3 'Orange Box' fails.

    Surely nobody believes Xbox 360 was the lead platform for GTAIV??? Rockstar made an absolute fortune on PS2/PSP and when development started on GTAIV (3/4 years ago?) nobody believed PS3 would be anything less than the most successful console? The fact that the game has been delayed despite a...

    Start my degree friday, any advice?

    I doubt you can do a BEng in 12 hours per week, I would allocate at least 20. Most of the work will be done outside of lectures.

    Viral marketing

    This is exactly it - how can anyone say this with so much conviction at this point in time? The xbox 360 has sold what, 12 million? in 2 years? that's really quite poor when you consider it had a year headstart. The hardware is also very poor, too loud, too unreliable. Within a few...

    Viral marketing

    I'm really surprised at this thread, I find this forum to be incredibly one-sided towards the xbox and have often wondered if there wasn't an organised element to it. Especially considering that this is a hardware oriented forum and there can be no doubt that the PS3 is more interesting...

    Right I dont wanna be that guy...but

    Agreed. i think there's a good chance that the HD formats will be more like laserdisc i.e. a niche format rather than taking over DVD. HMV charging £30 for blu-ray discs will only exacerbate this. It really irks me though when people talk about blu-ray being 'forced' on PS3 owners. Blu-Ray...

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2008: 360 or PS3

    I'm sure I've read that the PS3 was the lead development platform for the game so I'm sure it will be the better version. If it uses 20Gb on a disc then the 360 version will have to suffer somewhere in the conversion process, and I highly doubt it's all uncompressed audio

    CDs didn't do too badly though did they?

    Recommended Hotel in Toronto

    I stayed at the Delta Chelsea which was pretty good. the Holiday Inn on King is worth a look I think, right in the middle of the entertainment district.

    The official Ps3 thread

    It's probably fine, F@H will generate a lot of heat and 5 mins isn't a long time. My problem was that it hit fan level 3 when it was just playing a dvd and stayed there for hours after going back to the xmb.

    The official Ps3 thread

    Do your fans spin back down from level 3 when you're back in the XMB? Mine didn't and I got a replacement today, much quieter and I can feel the airflow with this one whereas my first one didn't seem to be moving any air. Bottom line is that if your fan doesn't spin back down from level 3 then...

    Printing services in Manchester

    Pre-ordered a PS3 - that was easy

    You mean the 8800 that is crippled in vista due to driver support and the DX10 that has precisely 0 games for it. Yeah, good plan.

    Pre-ordered a PS3 - that was easy

    Well, they said it was guaranteed for launch - seemed very certain. Another place wanted £100!
