Everything to do with our favourite pastime! Reviews, recommendations, sells/swaps, problems etc. Whether they are on the latest consoles, arcade or retro classics. It's not the winning or losing, we came to play!
Spent a bit of time on Daytona and it's a great port.
Speed wheel works perfectly and the game plays like a dream. The graphics are a dated, using the bumper cam view helps as your car model is the worst, but it moves along really fast at a steady 60fps that you get some fun racing.
Not a huge amount of content, but for a fast pickup and play it's great and nothing really compares to the 40 car mayhem of the beginners track for weaving around traffic at crazy speeds.
Well worth the 800 points if you've ever liked it in the past.

So yes.
If bought from a UK retailer, try to quote the Sale of Goods Act at them?
Tried that, LittlewoodsDirect (now Very) reckon that I'd have to prove it's a manufacturing defect, but if I could that they would not replace the console but instead would reimbuse a % of the cost discounted at a rate of 20% per year.
Mulling it over at the mo...
Sorted, despite it being >3.5 years old Very.co.uk are paying to have it repaired. Should have it back in my hands and working again on Tuesday, well done Very.co.uk. Cost to fix ~£75.

I agree. Looks like it's made for touchscreen tablets, not for a console.
If this is what Windows 8 is going to be like too then "pass".
I'm sure I will get used to it but it doesn't mean I like it very much.
At least Kinect seems to start up faster for me and not take about 2mins before it working.
Yes, Metro is going to be part of Windows 8, but I believe you can get rid of it to do normal work.
Not seen the update yet, but does this mean we can go all Minority report with Kinect then? Can't say I've found any of their Xbox interfaces thus far very intuitive, so I'm not expecting much...
Cloud game saves too ... can't really see the point unless you can actually sign in on another console without having to bring a memory device with you.
I may have no control over the length of my life, but the depth & width is entirely up to me.

I think you can.
That's what I read when I signed in on my (second) US console, giving me the option of needing to enter my Windows ID password each time or for auto login on each console.
