Picked it up on a whim from Tesco (as it offered 500 Tesco points, which is £20 of meal vouchers!). Spent half an hour reading and installing Kodi and various add-ons. Incredible piece of kit.

how do they work? do they need to be paird up to a pc or phone or are they stand alone?

ps3 is dying so owuld be nice to repalce it with something that can get bbci player and net flix but without using a pc.

Just plugs straight into the HDMI on your TV and that's it.

Needed a new media center device, was going to get a Fire Tv Stick and install XMBC/Kodi on it, but no USB ports, I need USB ports unfortunatly for my hard drives.
Opted for a Raspberry Pi 2 instead and got it a little case.
£40 in total for Pi + case and the SD card which is a Sandisk 8gb class 10

Works very nice with kodi installed, nice and quick.
plugged in a very old wifi usb stick I had laying around (thats why its so big!) works great.
Got it powered by my TV's USB and set CEC to turn on the Pi when my Tv turns on, and turn it off when I turn my TV off and I can use my TV remote to control the menus.
Very happy with it.

Not to sure but this doesn't.

Yup, this is gonna take a while

mrk · 3 May 2015 at 19:10

Well worth the wait though.

DrunkRufie · 3 May 2015 at 19:26

From what I've seen/read I'm sure it will. Hopefully getting it now a few weeks later I'll miss most of the usual launch bugs/issues etc.

Never heard of that method, but will try that elsewhere and observe results I think!

basically any light oil does the job its justy a matter of how long til lit washes away.

A very big dent in the bank balance but well worth it.

Didnt consider the Gyre over those new QD pumps then?

jackpot was £500 and then it gave me another £135, was rather fun, however £600 in pound coins weigh loads when you have to walk up a blooming steep hill!!

My heart bleeds for you!

You could have hired someone for an hour to carry your winnings home

why not exchange it for notes at the bar?

DJMK4 · 3 May 2015 at 20:35

I doubt they would want 600 pound coins

Will Gill · 3 May 2015 at 20:35

I got about £100 cashed up, there wasn't that much change available, bank holiday weekend and the village cash machine was broken so we'd given out loads of cash back

First world probz

You work there? I smell a fix/scam

Ryan-3 · 3 May 2015 at 22:29

I always say, there's a special switch on these machines.

Slam62 · 3 May 2015 at 22:30

They just watch the patterns

well I'm on the committee, its a members club, and trust me I might have won this time but over time the machines have done a lot better than me overall

friend of mine who used to work at the pub would just watch people pump pounds into the machine. end of his shift he would usually play about 5 pounds make about 25 every time
