I think it's fantastic; I've had far fewer problems with Vista than I ever did with XP.

Gaming laptops in general are a bit of a waste of money; the lack upgradeability, are overpriced, and have heat/noise problems. You can get a very nice gaming desktop, and a laptop to do work/browse the web on for less money than it would cost you to get a reasonable gaming laptop.

I hope that you're joking! Who seriously covers their PS3 with pantyhoes!?! Just make sure that it's raised off the floor and you should be ok. Having it vertically rather than horizontally will also help.

Anything under 70 at full load in Orthos is fine. Intel recommend 75, so as long as it remains under that it's fine :)

Expect that it's overheating-check you HDD, GPU and CPU temps.

This is about your 5th thread on this, most of which have been exactly the same. You have worked out that you don't have a PS3 with BC, so why do you need to keep posting this? If you are expressing your displeasure, why keep doing it? Phone Sony and complain if you really want to, or take it back to the store and moan at them. There is nothing that we can do for you, except to warn you to do a bit of research next time.

What model TV have you got? Are you sure it's HD? To get HD use out of your PS3, you must use the HDMI cable or composite cables.

[QUOTE="mirko_j"][QUOTE="thegame1980"]

oh and creating stuff gets boring because how retarded the tools work and how limited they are. im sure anyone who has played the game can at least admit to that, and if they can't then i guess we know who were dealing with

and yes the servers do still have problems and if you want to call it "server maintence" or whatever else you/they want to call it w/e because i call it servers DOWN, which means i can't play during that time and thats my point. just about every other time i decide to play i either can't log in after the game loads or it happens while im playing. if i were to put a mathmatical number on it to be fair id say up 70% and down 30% and that 30% is annoying as heck and as stated earlier makes it not even worth putting the disc in to find out if its going to decide to work because ive already beat the story mode weeks and weeks ago

machiavell8x8

I've had the game since launch, put in well over 100 hours, and found the servers to be down once in that entire time. You have simply completely missed the point of the game; anyone can beat the story mode in a few days, so well done you. The story is nothing but a precursor to the creative side of the game-an opportunity to see what the engine can do. The creative mode is exceptional-you can do almost anything with it, and make some fantastically clever levels with it. The entire point of the game is to make levels, upload them, and let others experience your creativity. Yes, it lets you do what devs do, in a much simpler way; but then a lot of people would love to work in the games industry and don't have the chance, either due to a lack of ability to code, or simply missing the opportunity. This is their chance to fulfill their dream, and to show off what they can do.

Let me ask you a few things:

First, when was the last time you played and enjoyed a game where you didn't get to kill anything? To be honest I think that your taste in games says more about you than anything. People who can't enjoy the subtler sides of the media worry me somewhat.

Second, do you use Youtube, DeviantArt or Flickr? These are chances for people to upload their work to the internet and let others view it, and are all stunningly succesful. Yet do you criticise Youtube for not having pre-uploaded videos so that its users don't have to? No, of course not-if anyone asked you why Youtube didn't already "come" with videos on it, you would tell them that they had missed the point. However, this is exactly what you have done with LBP.

Is Youtube "just for kids"? Of course not, so what makes you say that LBP is? The fact that you can't kill things? Again, this simply puts across your juvenile and crass view of media.

If you argue that it's LBP's cartoony graphics and fairly simplistic gameplay that makes it just for kids, have you ever played the early Mario games, or Tetris? Most would agree that these are some of the greatest, most revered games ever, but they are clearly not just for kids-thousands of people of all ages enjoy them.

Unless you want to overclock a considerable amount (ie really push what your CPU can do) don't bother with water cooling. The 45nm chips run so cool anyway that it isn't worth it for most people. I got one of these, and it knocked about 12C off of my load temps over the stock Intel cooler:

Wouldn't recommend it; no motherboard with onboard graphics is worth having for gaming. Provided your PSU can handle it, I would buy more RAM and the GPU now, and a new CPU and motherboard when you get the money. Bear in mind that if you upgrade to C2D you will very probably need to get a new mobo as well as the CPU though. To be honest, if you are looking at doing the GPU, CPU, RAM, mobo and PSU you may as well just build a new PC.
