My lil bro is bringing his new gf over tonight. May have to annoy him a bit.
 
To kick off, when did this practice of celebrating birthdays of dead people start..? Maria Callas would have 90 today if she had lived. I can remember Maria Callas at any time I like.

And there's another one - celebrating the anniversary of the start of famous TV or Radio programmes when they long since stopped making them. Why do they do that..? Are we commanded to celebrate..?

By the way, I've nothing against Maria Callas, A wonderful voice.

I see my original topic didn't strike a chord with anybody. Are you all sleepwalking through changes in life and culture [he asked trying not to offend]..? :)
 
Hey game people, I would like some help please...

My 12 year old would like an Xbox 360 for Christmas ( he knows it's cheaper and it's what his mates have). Being a technophobe, I don't know what to go for: I have seen a 4GB, 20GB, 60GB and 250GB... what is the minimum spec I should think about for him gaming. He won't be living on it, as we just don't let them do that, but he would be playing some online stuff with mates and minecraft would be a favourite. Any pointers gladly appreciated.

20gb is the least you should be looking at. There is no point in the 4gb version. The 4gb version would be full after a few updates.

I have an xbox 360 and most games take up a ****load of MBs when you download them. I would dismiss the 4GB straightaway. I would probably go for 60 but that's just my opinion.

Yeah depends if he is a big gamer, if not he could get away with 20gb. If he is 60gb is the least you should get.

I've got 20 and it's just about ok. I am quite a big gamer and have a fair few games. GTA V didn't help either!

I'd write off the 4GB and 250GB. 4GB won't be nearly enough and 250GB would be far too much. 20GB would probably be okay if he's not going to play on it too often but I'd probably recommend the 60.

Not played much tbh. I'll add you once I have set up my psn properly. Atm I am just playing Killzone offline.

Fair enough, let me know - I traded Killzone in today! Thought the online was crap compared to CoD and BF so there was no point in it.
