Play.com dispatched my order yesterday at 12:41pm. It arrived at my door about 10minutes ago. Now thats service!. Now i've got to wait until tonight to play it... Damn'd work.

Contemplating taking tomorrow or Friday off to play it tbh.

Still, one day early. not bad! I remember (all those years ago) I pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto 3 from play, and it turned up a day or two early. And I got it for ?20 when it was ?35 in Game.

Am i the only one who bought a black DS3? The console is black so a black DS3 makes sense and its cheaper.

I bought the white one myself to make it easier to distinguish the dualshock from the non dualshock.

That and it matches my 3 360 controllers.

I'll be impressed if you do! MGS3 is a whole different game compared to the others. It's also the longest in the entire series (in my opinion). If you've played it before, you'll probably know what to to when you come across the end if you didn't kill him earlier! Simply change the date on your PS2 clock about a week forward, then play the game, and he has died of old age! :D

You're right .. no way am I going to be able to complete it by tomorrow, god dammit! Looks like I won't be starting MGS4 till Sunday/Monday. :cry:

Also yes - I know about the tricks to kill the End. However when I first played it I didn't know - took me about 45 minutes to kill that sly devil!

Actually i have a couple of friends just like you, its a shame because the old games were/are awesome.

Thought the experience of playing them now is not as good as if you had played them when they were originally released.

I must say, I'm not that impressed with the rumble though, I was just playing the GRiD demo, and it's really weak compared to GRiD on the 360 :(

That demo really isn't the best way to showcase the rumble in the DS3. There are other demo's/games that are far better.

The full GRID game rumble support is much better.

Thanks for the info, but as I have GRiD for the 360 and a wireless wheel, I won't be getting it for the PS3.

I'm off to look for a list of rumble enabled games

Well for me, I have a friend who was obsessed with these games, and his apartment was the apartment we all used to hang out at, sleep over a lot because we were drunk, and one summer he went on a MG bonanza and just kept playing all of the games over and over and over and over, so I almost feel like I have played them myself.

Sweet, i need to dig out my bluetooth headset that ive never used.

Same here. Finally have a use for it (well MGO as well).

Lol!

Me too, I played MGS2 for a bit, but never really got on with it. Probably due to my age back then.

I've loved the look of MGS4 so far and intend to buy it along with a PS3.

My Amazon order got dispatched today, I should get it tomorrow :p

I bought MGS3 last year but I really couldn't get into it. I really didn't like the whole "Bandage your arm/legs" thing but I'll probably go back and play it after I finish MGS4.

The codec thing via bluetooth sounds really cool, I need to buy myself one >.<

      So what am I quoting from them? I never listened to what Farage or his cronies said. I wanted the U.K to leave the E.u years before the referendum and it had nothing to do with Farage and his cronies. So what country do you live in? Did we work much better together? We were always at logger heads with the E.U because we disagreed with them so much. Maggie was always on at them. I would have thought the E.U was glad to get rid of us as we stopped the integration or made it a two tier. Now without us they can integrate more. I would not have voted out if it was just a trading block and we can still work together on somethings.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.
