Ok I've been super busy to post any blogs lately but I thought I would let you catch up with the gaming side.

Well firstly I haven't actually been playing much games lately, due to college work and secondly because I have had my 360 red ringed twice in a row and then the dvd drive broke so I had no 360 working for 3 months

Away from that I bought a ds lite a couple of months ago to complete my collection of all the latest consoles and handheld systems. Although I have mislayed it right now, but I'll find it sometime.

On the PC side I have been through a few system upgrades since the last post about my PC including my graphics cards >Nvidia 7950GT > Nvidia 8800 GTX > my newest which I got today a Nvidia 9800 GX2

My current Gaming PC is as follows :

• Aerocool ExtremEngine 3T (PC Case)
• 1000W Thermaltake power supply
• Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4
• Asus P5N-E SLI
• 2 x 500GB, 7200rpm HDD
• 2 x Dual Layer DVD Recorders 48X (One with Lightscribe, one with Flash label)
• 4Gb RAM
• Asus Nvidia 9800 GX2
• Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music 7.1
• 3 X LCD Flat panel monitors 24" widescreen (max res 1920 x 1200)
• Matrox Triplehead2Go
• Windows Vista Premium
• Logitech G25 Force Feedback Wheel

Well thats it, it's short but I think I cover most of the important things i never mentioned.

oh wait I bought a 360 HD DVD drive after the "war" was lost. I also bought a standalone player (Toshiba EP-35) and have about 24 HD DVD's but I just purchased another 25 today, some might say I'm crazy.

Yesterday I joined the gamespot gamer instincts panel but so far I havn't recieved any surveys.

Thankfully I have joined many others and today I got a survey on Rock Band. I argreed that I would say anything about the survey with them so I won't get into detail, but it mention some interesting things. Such as the individual prices for each instument/mic and prices for bundels (but the bundels were so varied in price and content you couldn't make much of them). It also gave 3 price points to choose from for a 6 song downloadable song pack. lastly it mentioned whether you'd be intestered in having a USB hub adapter to come with the game so you can plug in four players via USB. it went into some detail about features etc but nothing much new.

Well I left out the prices just incase they come chasing me

On Wednesday I bought a Wii and also picked up Wii play and Splinter Cell: Double Agent (I already have it for 360, but I got it as it was cheap and I wondered how that kind of game would be on the Wii). I also got a componet cable as I know how bad my xbox looked through Scart or composite cableon my HDTV. Well although the graphics are bad (understatement for SP: DA), the controller is pretty fun to use in wii sports and although I was originally annoyed with the camera control in splinter cell I think I have gotton used to it (still no where as good as 2 analogue sticks though).

Well Thats all I have to write at the moment.
