Bought Mr T one of the new slim-line PSP thingies for his sixty sumfink b'day last month...he loves it...........however.........I couldn't get the AV lead as Sony in their wisdom, released the PSP but didn't send ANYONE the damn lead.....and being able to connect to the TV was one of the new selling points!!! I ask you!!!! cussing:
Question 1................. anyone seen them in the shops over there??????
Question 2................. anyone plugged theirs into a 'non HD' TV (write-up says it has to be HD and I can't afford one of those!!!!!! sad32:
Mr T has requested a flat-screen HD 'hang on the wall style' TV for Christmas.....huh!!! He'll be lucky!!!!!! noooo:

Errr... What is a 'PSP'? redface:

Play Station Portable eeek:

Errr... What is a 'PSP'? redface:
Paint Shop Pro - excellent graphics program, almost up there with Photoshop! Though quite why you'd want to connect it to a HD TV is a bit of a mystery, you'd need a computer first!
Bugger! Wasn't quite quick enough cry:

Tink has learned a valuable lesson ~ do not buy electronic toys unless you have a six year old on hand to show you how to work them properly. whistle:

Thanks for the links...I think!!!...........sorry, had a call from daughter and super, super baby grandson...now we can talk AND see ooe another on skype, time just flies!!!!! ;)
Sounds like I won't bother getting the lead...which is OK, 'cause then I can try to watch TV ('try' 'cause we're right on the edge of Sky signal and in the evenings it's usually cr*p) whistle:
Perhaps the Wii would be good for Christmas????? noooo:

Very sound advice Snoops. Mr T landed in Uk yesterday at 9.45am, by 11 am was back in the 'bolt hole' with sons 2 & 3 who did the 'collection' run!!!! At 12.00 I get a call....'what's the combination on dad's suitcase?' ... they wanted the instruction book!!! 3 games of cricket had been completed, son no 3 pretty useless, I hear... son no 2 made a better job!!! Why bother with instructions????? whistle:
And why lock the case??? whistle:
Men cannot cope without us, ladies!!! Now I have proof (and a phone bill) noooo:

Mrs TG (to my utter amazement) has suggested getting us a Wii for Xmas.

Do you reckon this will be the christmas gift of the year and therefore in short supply...and therefore silly people will pay hundreds over the odds.??? whistle:
Daughter -in -law who works at Argos says they sell literally before they get on the shelves...but she's waiting for the Jan sales, when you can bet your life stocks will miraculously appear. ;D
Hey...we could start a rumour and create havoc in the market!!!! ::)

I honestly believe that if you want on in time for Christmas if you see it, buy it now. They are a complete nightmare to get hold of and I'm not convinced there will be any in the sales in January simply because they will be snapped up. It's been like this since they were released.
I know friends in the States are saying that they are still in short supply over there. They get delivered on a Saturday morning and they are well gone by Monday.

see eBay (note to self...must work out how to add a link!) redface:

Just copy the link from the address bar and paste it on in. ;)

That's what I thought but it didn't show as a link when I tried. Guess it converts when you hit 'post'??? confused:

I won't touch these sort of products until they have been out long enough for the defects to be exposed.

It does. The linky line only comes up after you've submitted it.
With the bugs, I know enough people who have had them since they came out to be convinced that they are pretty clear at the moment.

Be warned my children ~ better things will be along just as your warranty runs out.
Go for a walk in Kew Gardens Wenchy ~ it'll do you more good and not cost anything like as much.

True but they do have a "new" car so I thought the little drive to Kew, a stroll in the Gardens, Lunch at that nice pub opposite the gates (name escapes me but they used to do a splendid S & K Pud and all the trimmings.) Then perhaps a look at the river and home for a slap up tea of hot buttered crumpets and choccy cake. Lovely way to spend a Saturday in Autumn. cloud9:

The pub is the Greyhound on Kew Green

I knew it would come to me if I thought about it!
If all goes well and he gets a good lunch Wenchy might even get Mr W into Bentalls, Kingston for a spot of pre-Christmas shopping in the afternoon.

The Wii has a good reputation and I think it is a safe buy.

I went to Kew Gardens this year on my birthday. There is a very nice eaterie in the park itself.
The Princess Diana house is very good, liked it a lot.
I think Wozza Thomson has a place on the green.

Given the correct pronunciation of Wii Wenchy girl, you could, perhaps, have phrased that rather differently! As it stands it is wide open to misinterpretation!
I'm surprised DS didn't pick up on it!

I admit I do like the overall look of the rig although I'd have to change the colour from that sellafield green to something easier on the eye.

Many years ago I worked out that you needed to keep games and work separate – running games on your PC just doesn’t work in the end…
So trying to turn a games console into a PC so that you can do your work on it seems somewhat pointless…

Not sure about Linux specific games but there is a program called WineX that allows you to play some windows games. Dont know what the limitations are going to be though as windows games rely in DirectX.
