Thats why the grass moves Sticky

being really geeky , how cool is this

srry back to none geek mode, my Onkyo AV amp arrives tommorow make the ps3 the centre of my new AV setup what a bit of ki, love the way it plays all your vids in little boxs at the same time... oh and gran tursimso is simply awsome

 

"Thats why the grass moves Sticky"

That could be a really profound statement taken out of context

What you need, young man, is GTA IV.

Makes GT5 Prologue look like a 16k Speccy game

 

which onkyo did you go for

 

Nooooooooo really, right bring it round cocker lets have some

ps you'de just leave a dent in the grass

 

The problem with bringing it round is...

20 minute initial download update, then a 20 minute HD install before getting into the game. Better if you come to me.

Not played much of the actual story, but been online with the masses of deathmatch, race and story options. Foo mee!

Still can't get online with GT5P as the fooking download still won't complete.

 

went for a 506... nice bit of kit, does everything i need really... didn't need the upscalling of the 606 so wasn't worth paying £185 more... just need to get pluming in the rear Bose speakers now... can't wait... need a good Bluray film to try it with then...

 

I know I'm a bit thick when it comes to all this audio stuff, but having Googled the Onkyo xx506 and read the spec I'm still no wiser as to what it is / does. Care to shed some light?

 

it's a surround receiver/amp basically you put your audio source in and it sorts it out and sends it back out through the speakers, i went for the 605 when it was new as it will also play true hd sound which the ps3 will now also play so the extras out weighed the cost as it was a bit more future proof than the 505

 

He did try to explain it on the phone earlier, but it went almost as far over my head as that molecular folding@home stuff did

 

I think the 506 will accept the super audio format from the ps3, if it doesn't well its no big deal as pretty much everythig i have of late is in compressed format

 

blue ray is good aswell, saying that though some are far better than others, so aslong as you have a decent tv you should notice them alot more than a normal sd
