Sorry if this is a repost, more crazy Atkinson antics http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/mike-m...-1225826082741

Read that this morning. Absolutely brilliant. The guy really is delusional and honestly thinks everyone on the internet is out to get him doesn't he?

[MrSerrels]

Don't you mean the one in Melbourne where if you buy a Myki card it only works on trains, forcing you to buy a seperate ticket for your connecting bus or tram? :lol

I thought it was the opposite – I thought Sydney made you buy seperate tickets? I remember being able to use my train ticket on buses.

Or maybe I'm just going fucking crazy.

You can still use metcards (the paper ticket things) for everything like normal, but the totally fucked up myki cards are trains only for now, buses and trams aren't until the end of the year or something. So if you use more than just trains you should just keep using metcards and leave myki alone.

So local sleuths, any idea on when Australia gets White Knight Chronicles or do I have to import?

The only thing that will hurt is the fact that P-A are charging $65 USD for it. WTF.

Nevermind. 25th Feb.

[Rlan]

Adelaide has a one-ticket system, but it's still a (hard) paper ticket. No "zoning" price difference like in Brisbane.

[JaseC]

Just do it area by area? http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/ma...keeper_map.png Doesn't take very long at all.

That's a handy image. Cheers!

OK awesome, I'll wait a few weeks

[teekun]

No idea, but I've lost count of how many people I see get on a tram and try to swipe their Myki tickets to no avail.

For anyone waiting for Dante's Inferno. Went to GAME about an hour ago and they said they get stock this afternoon and will sell as soon as they get it.

$109 at GAME though. Full of fail and lose.

I fear for the days when the dollar plummets again and we look back at how we balked about paying $80AU for a game and crying salty tears.

:(

Seriously, Steam is gonna suck again if the dollar ever collapses to 50c.

They have Darksiders on their Trade-1 eligibility list, which means you can get Dante's Inferno for Darksiders + $39.95.

Just import it, you can get it for $73 shipped from 365games.co.uk, maybe cheaper if it's region free on Play Asia (no details yet).

that's not so bad. I'll probably pick it up tomorrow.

I'm very poor at the moment, 40 bucks is almost too much. :lol

Dante's is at JB too for something like 90$ IIRC

[Shaneus]

JB in Melbourne (Bourke St.) was selling Dante's Inferno today. Was going to pick it up, but couldn't find any reviews anywhere. What's the verdict on it?

I think I'll trade in Borderlands... I really need to stop buying FPS games. I'll never learn :lol
Edit: Saboteur is on Game's list, too... I should finish that ASAP and find something else I want.

Friend said a friend of hers had tickets to acdc, i'm thinking about it but they wanted $200 for it. If they weren't sold out then it's only $150. Hey fuckwit, I'm not going to give you a profit because you're unable to go. Tough titties.

Looks like you can still get tickets for $150 on the arena 3 section.

I got a copy dumped on my desk today, keen to play it, but haven't even started on Mass Effect 2 or Darksiders yet. I'd be keen if someone was to tell me it's awesome.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but then I wouldn't say it's a bad game either. Like Dead Space (same developers), they take a genre and do all the right things but nothing stupidly awesome.

I've been a fan of the art direction since I heard about the game. So I've been on board for a while now. It has boobs and dead things. My favourite combination.

Titan Quest Gold Edition is $3.74 USD on Steam...

Well worth the money, I should really finish it one day.

Does anyone on AusGAF play?

Looking at evlcookie's chart (useful little thing :P) it seems like 23-24 people have it. I want to get but can't right now, so i guess I'll wait until the next time it goes on sale.

So i got my 500GB HDD today and i have a question. After formatting and all that it sayd i only have say, 385GB of 467GB. Why is there like 32GB gone from it from the get go. Other than that its taking an age to update my trophy info but all is sweet. Thanks to those that helped, you are awesome :D

HDD manufacturers label and make the HDDs using 1000 bytes = 1kb (kilobyte), 1000kb = 1mb (megabyte) and so on. But according to computers 1024 bytes = 1 kb, 1024 kb = 1 mb and so on. So, computer always will recognize less space due to different measurement values.

The whole kilo measurement, in terms of bits or bytes, is fairly ambiguous. I believe the IEEE recommends kilo be used when referring to powers of 1000 (i.e. what HDD manufacturers) and kibi for powers of 1024.

In terms of computers recognising space, it's not really about recognising a diferent amount of space but measuring it differently. I believe OSX 10.6 and some Linux versions (all?) measure storage using a decimal (1000) interpretation of kilo.

Ausgaf. Since none of you know where to buy a digital camera online, let's hope some of you know the next site.

A good place to buy band merch? Posters, shirts, whatevers? Apart from the official band site which can be crazy in shipping prices. Kinda like a cdwow or zavvi site but just for band merch.

Someone must know something

I haven't looked in a while, but some 'eBay stores' have some decent prices on band merch. Or at least they did roughly a year ago.

try ryda.com.au

we recently bought a panasonic dmc-ft1 from them after looking around for the best click-and-shoot water/shock proof camera. we checked the prices from ebay, different online shops, and retail shops. we checked if it was cheaper to get from an overseas seller, if local warrantly was available, and any extras. we found out that ryda offers the best value for money. best of all if your in NSW you can just go to their store and buy it there directly.

funny thing is, ryda is also where we got our GPS sometime back because they offer the best value for money.

hope that helps.

Awesome news indeed. I honestly thought iiNet was fucked. I mean, look at the list of companies against them:

Village Roadshow, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, 20th Century Fox and Disney, as well as the Seven Network.

I am actually shocked the system worked in this instance in the face of all that money. That's almost limitless funds for a case for the other side.

Here's a good quote in the comments to the SMH article:

AFACTS picked on iinet because they were big enough to take notice of, but small enough to worry about the cost of the trial. Clearly they had no inclination to take on Telstra or SIngtel Optus. THe recording industry is a bunch of outdated dinosaurs skulking around bullying people who dare to think and act with the times. These dinosaurs have to change their model to allow us to purchase, see and hear the content the way WE want, without stealing it or having to watch it when the tv says we do. I applaud this decision and hope that the media companies take this as a further nail in the coffin of their prehistoric practices.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Get with the mother fucking times film industry.

Ausgaf. Since none of you know where to buy a digital camera online, let's hope some of you know the next site.

http://www.dirtcheapcameras.com.au/

Despite the dodgey sounding URL, this site has been going for a very long time and I know many people who have bought from them. They are good.

[pilonv1]

:lol film companies. Time to move forward.

[markot]

Not to mention Stephen Conroy said crap against iinet.

>_<

Phew I say!

Still, they are kind of overpriced, if they dropped their fees I would switch in celebration!

Hi Tim, Thank you for contacting me and sorry for the delay in despatching this item to you. We have experienced a delay in receiving this product from our suppliers and we are currently awaiting confirmation of when the goods will be available for dispatch. As soon as we have this information, we will let you know by email. Once again, sorry for the inconvenience caused to you by this delay and thank you very much for your patience - it is sincerely appreciated. Kind Regards, Anna | Customer Services Representative CD WOW!

I assume this is run of the mill for CDWow? I just noticed that ME2 was on backorder and asked them when the next shipment would come and that was their answer. I understand the hate for their shipping now :lol

eBay wins again though, The Last Remnant for $18 Aus including postage. Winnnn, that was all I was really willing to pay for it.

[DualShadow]

I cant seem to find any information about White Knight Chronicles, does anyone know which retailers are selling it? Cant seem to find the usual stores (EB, JB, etc.) advertising they are getting it in. Thanks.

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Anyone know of any deals on Darksiders PS3? Every time I've looked at it, it was priced at like $110 and I have like one PS3 game, so no trade-in deals for me.

It's their standard for new releases and anything that isn't marked "in stock". You need to be careful with CD Wow and go in knowing there may be delays (or rather, will be) with preorders/new releases and weigh that up against the price. Beyond that issue, I have had no other problems with CD Wow and they were very helpful when an item went missing in transit over the Christmas period (full refund acquired, no hassles).
