The Roddick Kohlschreiber match was fantastic as well. I think Tsonga has an outside chance of making the final, the last two years it's been surprise finalists, why not again this year? Djokovic hasn't been too impressive really. I hope Ivanovic reaches the final, and wins it against either Henin or Serena. Also Hantuchova to make the semis.

Mine was sent to Germany. I doubt there's one in Ireland, as mine probably would have been sent there if there was. Either that or there is one and MS are idiots.

Wow, just wow. Spent most of the day watching the Australian Open again. Two more epic matches. First, Federer won 10-8 in the fifth set, four and a half hours long. Then Hewitt wins in five sets, four hours as well. The Hewitt match didn't finish until 4.30am Melbourne time! Epic so far. Why do you have to wait so long Dante? That sucks, hope the rest of the year is better for you.

I was feeling like that in school this week. Staying up late to watch Australian Open and getting up early to watch it as well, not a good idea when I have school all day. On a related note, watched an epic match at the Aussie Open today. Nearly four hours long, Roddick lost 8-6 in the fifth! Disappointed with the result but the match made up for it. And if anyone here's interested, Murray lost in the first round after being mega-hyped. lol

Well at least we finally get something, they should have really just given us some free points though.

Rumours of a new 360 SKU: From here. Sounds interesting, depending on the price I'd consider buying it. I'd hate to have bought an Elite if this was true.

I'm having a problem with Windows Media Player on my laptop, it only recognises my .avi files as audio files. I'm getting sound but no picture, anyone know what's wrong with it? EDIT: I didn't have Divx installed...

Is the Wii Shop channel down? Whenever I try to access it I get a server error...

No problem! Good luck with it.

Dante, you should probably get another game as well or instead of one of those. You'd probably get bored of ALL shooters quickly. Maybe get Oblivion or Crackdown or something..

The site is down now for maintenance work. Hopefully they're changing it!

Hmmm... I might just Wiki the story and then start Orange Box. I'm finding it decent enough at the moment, but not brilliant.

Started HL 1 today. I'm playing it before I get Orange Box. How long is it around?

Thanks, yeah it is, I'm now at:

Haven't got many 360 games this year so: 1)Halo3 2)Virtua Tennis 3 3)Bioshock(yet to complete) 4)Crackdown I've yet to get Orange Box, GHIII, Assassin's Creed or Mass Effect, so I'm sure they'll end up being fairly high on the list.

Finally managed to get back into Bioshock, I'm just a bit after the bit where you restore the trees. I have no idea how far I am through the game though.. Not getting GHIII till christmas, the wait is getting annoying...

Yesterday was good, despite the Toy Show being horrible, America are 2 matches up in the Davis Cup final! I've got a fair bit of work to do today though, essay on John Donne, a load of maths and some Irish poetry questions. Probably nothing compared to all the work people here seem to be having to do though.

I've actually completely forgotten to get one this year! I'll have to try and find a decent one soon...

At least they had the Wii on it. It was really bad this year though, back in the day with Gay Byrne it was something to watch. Now we're just stuck with "The Plank". O_O

Hmmm, went to order it and their saying due to high demand delivery will take 5 weeks! Would this just be worst case scenario or and exact time frame? Thing is I need it for Christmas! I can get a similar laptop with a normal delivery time, but it has a ATI Radeon® Xpress 1270 HyperMemory graphics card and an AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile technology TL-58 base processor. Are these much worse than what I previously posted?

Yeah, I don't really want to run any serious PC games on it, just something like SimCity 4 or Halo 2. Should I go with Vista or just stay with XP?

I'm considering getting a new laptop, would these specs be sufficient for running Vista and any other games/programs that I might want to run? It's a Dell Inspiron 1520: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7250 (2.00 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB) Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium - English 1 Year Base Warranty - Collect & Return Jet Black Colour with Matte Finish & 2.0mp camera 15.4" Widescreen WXGA+ (1440x900) TFT Display with TrueLife 2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024] 250GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive nVidia® GeForce™ Go 8600M GT with 256MB DDR2 dedicated graphic memory Fixed Internal 8X DVD+/-RW Drive including Software Primary 9-cell Lithium-Ion Battery (85 WHr) Also, is Vista really all that great or should I just stick with XP? Thanks

Do they have any of them in scart by any chance? They look great but I dont have a HDTV..

Thanks! I'm hoping for the same too, hopefully Federer can put Djokovic in his place! Djokovic can be a bit cheeky at times, in Australia this year he openly declared he'd beat Federer, only to be brushed aside easily in the end! Federers not exactly heaping the praise on Djokovic either; last year he called him a joke and accused him of faking injury! Anyway Federer to win in straight sets!

Federer through against Davydenko, relatively easily but the 3rd set was a bit shaky... He's playing Djokovic in the final, who beat Ferrer Hopefully Federer wins. Although Djokovic won their last match, Federer did'nt play well and even then it was 7-6 in the 3rd.... Btw, has anyone seen Djokers impressions? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KuJSg51SNw :laughing:
