Chuck, got the TV last month so wife isn't terribly open to investing in more entertainment technology.

She, for some reason, wants to go on holiday.

Honestly, there's no understanding wimmin!

I used "darling, I have bought us a small discrete slimline DVD player for the bedroom so we can finish watching movies in bed"

The fact that it can ALSO play video games and came with GT3 is pure added value

Unhappy

Pre-ordered mine through Amazon and I haven't seen it yet!

A friend of mine also ordered through Amazon and it turned up while he was at work on Friday! Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!

If it doesn't come Monday I'm going out and buying a second copy on Tuesday! I'm not sure I can last that long!

Like the approach

However, I also like matrimonial harmony...

She's being sensible (shudder - strange to admit that), as I originally said that I'd put the money towards the 30k service/insurance/brake set-up all due in November. But I want GT3 *now* (stomps foot in the manner of a petulant child)

But she's your wife.. how could she be considered as "sensible" ?

You can't need them both, surely?

(And why is it crap on widescreen???)

Oh dear.. you have a lot to learn..

It's not a case of NEEDING them, it's a case of WANTING them

Life is for WANTS, not NEEDS.

1. The American version is faster (case for a USA version)

2. The chaps over on Exiges.com are posting their best lap-times for a PAL version (case for a PAL version)



I tried playing it on a Widescreen and it didn't correctly fill the screen properly. Perhaps it was the TV's fault (Sony Wega) but I just couldn't get it to fit - and now prefer to run it 4:3 on my 48"

What's wrong with it? Interested in this as I'd like to run the PS2 on the 32" widescreen but, failing that, have a 21" doing nowt at the moment...

Chiark - Try this

C - I bought a PS2 and a wheel and a few games today

MRS C - You did what

C - I said I bought a PS2 and a wheel and a few games today. If you have a problem with that tough ****.

MRS C - **!!?!!**

Now you will get barred from the matrimonial bed, so you can play GT3 all night. - sorted

Look superb on widescreen IMHO

Really good, you should really buy one Chiark, otherwise they will all sell out and be twice as expensive at Xmas - well maybe not but tell the missus that

cheers,
