^i trust you,but considering that the shop is providing me 2, free of cost(and mind you they have a huge collection of them),what do i go for??.. i mean its not everyday you get free originals??and i really do not want to spoil the oppurtunity!

1.GTA - if you like this type
2.sbk08/moto gp 08 - if you like racing games (cost 1500), stay away from nfs's
3.god of war - chains of olympus - if u like button smashin , action , one of the best games ever (cost 1500)
4.wwe vs smack down - if you like this type (costs 1000)
5.tekken 5 - if you like quick action fighting games (cost 1200)
6.syphon filter - logans shadow - good mission based game (cost 1500)
7.sports - fifa/nba type (cost 1100-1300)
8.cod - ww2 mission games (though costs only 750 for original)

and as aryan said , good for 9+ rated games on ign , get the type you like ...

about the mem card - always advisable to get 2 gb , doesnt make psp slow , most "P" games come in less than 2 gb packages.

stay away from metal gear solid (portable ops) games (although highly rated).

well well well...

even if NFS UC is receiving some harsh reviews..(including mine)

but a stress buster is turning into some entertainment.arcade driving..j turns 360s 720s 540s really work well when u come after college.

but i bow down before EA for their story concept and CINEMATICS.in game and CG both.

and great innovation in highway battles.

anvancy.

and i admit..its not a bad game afterall.

Great! Thanks!

So, have you stopped playing it because of the technical problems?

Cant take hands off Prince of Persia for the time being Once used to the controls running,jumping,sliding,skidding,climbing,swinging ,fighiting etc can be combined so well like a musical balle and its very addictive.

Folks

I want a performance oriented desktop for my younger brother.The 7 year old PC of mine with earth-shattering rating of PIII 850Mhz, 128 MB RAM has started shaking from within and it's time for a change. Budget is 45-50K.

-I want a powerful gaming-oriented configuration
-Good LCD Monitor
-Is it possible for a quad-core to come within this budget?
-How much would a 4gb RAM cost?
-What is the most powerful reasonably-priced graphics card available currently?

I have lost touch with the recent launches in the motherboard,RAMs department.So i don't want to be taken for a ride by the dealers. Even if the total price exceeds the budget i would definitely consider it taking the performance benefit into account.

Check this link :: http://www.deltapage.com/ . Shud give u a brief idea of the rates. Moreover, I suggest u wait for sometime before the Intel-i7 becomes popular. That shud reduce the quad-core costs further down.

@aparajith

Thanks for the link!! Do you have any idea how much will a i-7 compatible motherboard cost? And is there any possiblility of the base version of i-7's price going below 10,000 in the near future?

call of duty roads to victory-full completed

of these i recommend any psp playr to have gta:lcs and burnout legends.
legends is a bloody great game.best i've played on psp.highly involving
others-nfs ug,cod,miami vice are pretty gud.
nfs ug is better than carbon and m.w anyday.
i'd recommend u to buy a psp 2000 unless u r highly loaded and can afford atleast a new umd a month.

[mohsihummer]

chicane,
get a gud mobo.worth the money.and get one with 4 ram slots,quad-core compatibility,and enuf expansion slots.
i have gigabyte ga-p35-dq6 mobo.best over clocker.google it
with 3gb ram,nvidia 8500gt,2.1 core 2 duo overclocked to 2.4.
7.1 power output.lg dvd-writer.-this writer is absolute crap.i want to break it to pieces.
invest in better dvd writer.pinnacle tv-tuner and capture card.
i like my config.runs games pretty smoothly.nfs carbon on full res and full graphics runs a lil jerky.anything lower runs butter smooth.
don't buy quad core.no current games can utilise those extra cores.
that's the advice i'll give.
btw, my current config will run two seperate monitor outputs and a tv output simultaneosly.

xBox360 net conn

ok. so some stupid questions on xBox360!

i wanna connect to the net basically. no i am not in a lookout for multiplayer mode (dont get time). all i want to do is to get connected, download all available codecs (some video extensions it doesnt recognize and asks me to connect to xbox site now). and also download themes, patches, etc.

so,
what are all the gadgets that i need to buy?
whats that stuff bout subscriptions?
what would be the cost involved?
any goofups from microsoft after doing all this?

people who have/had got this done pls reply. yup the net helps but need live reports actually and what better than fellow xBhpians . others pls excuse.

[torque_ankur]

^ you don't need to buy anything extra, you just need the internet connection, just connect your Xbox with the LAN cable and you are connected with the XBOX Live simple, and also Microsoft provides free 1 year subscription for XBOX Live so you can download the content for free without any hassles.

@nik:thanx man,,am wishin tekken 5 and syphon filter!!.
and yeah, what about the 'P' games??i didnt know even psp's had them!,and would a higher memory card slow the thing down??

yes you can , but its not viable for psp3000 now(enquired today) by the time you enjoy tekken 5 and syphon filter , people would be ready to take care of hacking stuff.just 450-500 for the work.

more capacity mem card slows down the older versions a bit , but techinically psp 3000 is also the same.So restrain from buying mem larger than 2 GB.Or you can always take chances and put up your reviews here

[mohsihummer]

hey man niks,
the problem here is not so simple.
it seems it cause of a new processor.the reason for sony to introduce these new processors is to stop hacking.
among the few cfw hackers, which are m33,le ,se and 2 others, DARL ALEX is the main.
he himself stated the exact nature of problem in hacking it.also, the cfw scene dosen;t have too many players or money.google for his post.u'll know the prob.
relatively, the prob with the slim hacking was a joke.it had pretty much the same mo-bo.
and the same processor.plus the psp3000 dosen't have anything new except a better display. i am not saying it ain't possible.but u should'nt bet on it.
it's like saying that tommorrow hero honda will launch a 300cc karizma which will hit 200kmph and give 80kmpl.might be 10yrs down the line.but it ain't happenin' now.is it?

yikes... stupid me! and i was going through all those wireless gadgets on the net. thanks man.

btw... anybody had a change of front panel plates? the white box feels all dull now...
