I just hate the term 'brigade' in general (apart from when actually referring to a brigade). It just seems like a twee way of making a stereotype seem like there's actually a group of people out there who justify it. Another product of lazy journalism.

Also, I'm doing my bit on the porn front by being happy to admit liking it, to Mrs Pants's friends for example.
Bloody good effort, I feel we 5punk as a community sould be at the forefront of making porn more socially acceptable than it is.

A lot of people are surprised by how popular porn is for couples/females. There're whole studios that make porn for ladies exclusively. Many people are under the misapprehension that it's just old guys who smell funny (although I have come across one or two (pfft!)).

/stops talking about bongo films

On the PS3 issue I wouldn't even consider one until the price drops significantly, but even then I'll be torn between a 360 and a PS3. Game wise they won't end up being that radically different I don't think.

Mine wanted to watch it. All. Then reenact it.

I gained a degree of respect for the male actors.

I might get one just to able to say that ive owned all the next gen consoles :P but narf having seen my mates in action, its pretty meh atm. Dont be fooled by the ooh ooh but its next gen so it must be ace rule. Madden looked really nice but that new fps on it looks crap. Theres no detail on the floor, bushes and grass look like popped up shite. And its fundamental problem is that its a FPS on a console. I'm holding off buying one until the winnar of the new formats has been decided.

I'm going to the States next month (Miami) and my friend is considering buying one.
I know that the US ones support all the PS2 games, and they can play UK titles. Big question however is "how" do you get around the US voltage thing back here in the UK?

Would a straightforward travel plug be enough, or can you buy a UK power adaptor for it?

Ah, ok then. I'll only get one if they are given away with the free phones on dialaphone when I'm up for renewal in August/Sept time, otherwise I'm torn between a 360, 30GB ipod video or PSP.

It might have what some PCs have... a slidey bar on the bar to set 230/110v.

If not a travel adapter would work.

It's hard to say without seeing one really.

In a few months.

If lots more decent games come out, the price drops by about £300, I get a HD tv and I get a raise.

So not hugely likely :lol:
:above: THIS.

I imagine a new transformer would be needed, however if you are buying it to play old PS2 games, remember that an American PS3 would not be compatible with PAL PS2 games would it? So you'd have to go out and buy lots of american PS2 games.. I think..?

i can't afford it at the moment, but there will definitely be some gaes i want for it, so i may get one later i nthe year, maybe when they cut the price and when GTA comes out.

Just a thought, I know that PS3 games are region free so you could use a Japanese or american PS3 in england with no troubles, just have to buy the right plug, but would a Japanese or US PS3 play PAL PS1 and 2 games?

I think region coding still happens on ps2 games on a ps3. so likely a pal ps2 game won't work on a us or Japanese ps3

This is Sony we're talking about. Didn't they invent region coding? Even the Sony DVD writer in my PC is fucking region coded.
