PS4 based on the two press shows, but I'm yet to decide which one will get my hard earned cash.

It's done nothing to excite me particularly, the show seemed to want to touch bases with every demographic. It just seems like a continuation of what the 360 was doing on newer hardware. Like Vinny said, I don't have cable and I don't like Kinect so I'm not sold yet. Sony's conference made me excited at the prospect of the future of games and the tech around them even if it was all a bit pie in the sky. I'm not decided yet on either console hopefully E3 will make things clearer.

I quite like it, better than infinity which is a bit of a mouthful to say. I think it's simply a case of differentiating the product from the 360, most of us will just refer to it as Xbox.

Sorry to see you go Dave, thanks for everything that you've brought to the site since the beginning. I wish you all the best for the future and hope these office visits are regular occurrences!

Usually get 0.5 to 1Mbps "broadband". Don't even live in the countryside, I'm pretty close to London. There are so many Internet black spots in the uk but it seems to go by unnoticed by anyone that can do anything about it. Then again we have a company called BT who have a monopoly on the infrastructure and they are absolutely useless.

Yeah I don't really experience this issue either, I really like the DualShock's layout and I play 360 and PS3 pretty much equally nowadays. The only problem I do have with the DualShock is how flimsy the sticks feel, but I've heard that this has been rectified for the DS4.

I've been a member here since day one, July 21st 2008 and a premium sub since 2011. Yesterday I got an email from GB thanking me for making an account and providing an activation link. I haven't hit the link for fear of what it may do to my account. Obviously I can log in fine and use premium features. Is this just new site hiccups? I'm I the only one to have received this email?

Looks absolutely brilliant, love the dynamic scaling. Of course it's acting slow right now but I'm sure there are just some creases that need to be ironed out.

Go for the 3DS version, it's pretty much the definitive experience at this point (that's coming from a zelda nut). Nothing has been added or changed apart from some extra visual markings in the water temple that help it flow better and there's a better item management system due to the touch screen. You also get master quest and visuals that match the concept art remarkably closely. The only thing you miss out on is the desaturated murkiness that the n64 version had, which gave the original a certain kind of atmosphere in parts. Then again that might not have been intentional at the time, all n64 games seemed to have this attribute so it's probably just nostalgia on my part that missed that.

(Wow, this new forum is really not very ipad friendly!)
