What, don't like some M20 warped head fun?
Cancelled my disc preorder and changed it to PSN, can have the full game installed on SSD that way without a noisy disc spinning in drive.
Bring on the 17th already.

True that. Paying something like $1 will actually cost the HB people more money than they get from your purchase due to the payment transaction fees.

Spaceship parts (another conspiracy nut mission arc?).. nuclear waste.. sure doesn't sound as dead serious as GTA 4 was.

Some GTA Online hands on information from CVG:
- Characters from GTA V will appear in GTA Online
- GTA Online will not always be limited to Los Santos; additional locations are in the works
- CVG says you can do anything in GTA Online that you can do in GTA V. They list the following: heists, co-op missions, gang attacks, death matches, impromptu deathmatch, races, tennis, golf, base jumping, shooting range, ambient events (hold ups of stores, armored van robberies, crate drops, import/export missions involving car theft, bounties that you can set on other players and people can claim), betting
- If you are killed while holding money (CVG says 1million as an example) you will lose a large portion of it, and others can steal it. Use banks to keep money safe
- An in-game smartphone can call your friends whether they are in GTA Online or GTA V. You can also use this to set waypoints for your friends. While using the phone, your avatar moves their lips with yours.
- While you are driving, you can choose to grant someone else permission over the radio
- In-game AI will respond to how aggressive you are on your mic (as in, if you're shouting during a robbery, the AI will react and speed up/become more frightened)
- Whoever sets up a heist decides who gets what cut of the final money when that money is obtained
- Garages range from two car ports to 10 car ports
- Cars can have retractable roofs controlled by the player
- Missions can be accessed by physical markers or through a quickmatch sort of menu
- User-made missions can be favorited and rated
- You can assign other players certain roles in missions based on the particular abilities they have leveled up
- You can share cash and ammunition with other players
- There are stealth kill animations, possibly with a knife. The game tracks the amount of noise your character is making, and the AI will respond accordingly
- You can steal physical items. During the demo, a mission was done in which a bike warehouse was robbed. The bikes had to be transported out in a large truck
- "RP" are the points you get to level up your character
- You can use physical gestures, such as flipping the bird
- All of your info/communications in the game appear in the "Feed." Rockstar mentioned this as a sort of Twitter for GTA Online
- You can purchase insurance for your car. By insuring your vehicle, if it gets destroyed or stolen, you can have it replaced by paying a small premium
- Police helicopters have cameras mounted to the front of them. In real time, you can watch on live TV (on the news channel in your apartment) players with a high wanted level being chased by the police. There are additional channels with programs such as a crime noir show
- Heists can have up to 20 different components. A heist is mentioned where a Titan (largest aircraft) is guarded by "Maryweather" (sp?). The Titan is indeed a flyable aircraft
- There is a heli-pad on the roof of (at least) the largest AmmuNation and the store can also be accessed from there
- Off the west coast of Los Santos, there is an another island with lots of buildings. This has not been seen before, but the folks at CVG saw it from afar
- There is a "passive" mode where you cannot shoot or be shot
- Your online world will always be populated with by 16 human players. You can still have friends in the game with you, but the other slots will fill up with random people around the same reputation level, as well
The wheels actually expand with the tire rubber, I hope they'll address it at some point.
Great bundle, but already own most of the steam games and not willing to install Origin again for the ones I don't have so will be passing this one.
Good job on EA's part though, giving their share to charity.

True, then again there are kind of mechanical hybrids like Topres that are kind of a middle ground between rubber dome and your usual Cherry MX feel. There's pretty much a keyboard for anyone if you dig deep and do enough research.
But if you don't mind rubber domes, there's nothing wrong with that either. Even something like Logi Illuminated (rubber dome+scissors) feels pretty darn good.

If you want to try MX Blues atleast (my personal fav) then check if there's any Razer Blackwidows around to test. It's a shit keyboard, but atleast they're pretty common for testing. Logi G710+ is also very common for MX Brown testing.
I'm using one right now, and I have to admit I can't stand the red switches. There's zero feedback when the contact is made, even rubber domes on flat scissor keyboards feel better IMO. Then again, it's a very personal thing which switches you like. Go try some mechanical boards out in a store if you want to avoid going through 4 keyboards like I did before finding the switch that you find the best.
My best advice would be this: wait for the K70 MX Brown version, those are the most beginner friendly switches.
If you do a lot of typing or programming, or just work on your keyboard in general, then you'll love a mechanical. You also can't judge them if you haven't tried one live, the feel is completely different to rubber domes.
*Cough cough* About that...
Duckys flagship, Shine 3 YOTS edition, white backlight/MX Blue switches. One of the 999 units made with aluminium body so it's pretty rare especially with nordic layout. Had to part with mucho dineros for this one.
I'd say vast majority of street cars have a steering lock around or above 1080 degrees.
Anyway, if you want realism, you should forget using anything less than 900 degrees.
PS3 has free multiplayer, so there's that. Might aswell get GT6 for it when it comes.
I personally rate MS higher in the scumbag level currently with all their anti-consumer Windows 8/Xbone cockups. Sony (for once) seems to be doing nice things for their users, if they'll keep at it remains to be seen.

G27 or T500 RS when it goes on discount.
Great news if that's true, however I can't see the logic in delaying the announcement of PC version for this long and then releasing it so soon with a really tight deadline. Doesn't make sense...
AMD integrated graphics performance is certainly better than Intel, but since OP is buying a discrete GPU for his rig, it's also irrelevant. The biggest issue with new AMD processors is the catastrophic electricity usage in relation to poor performance. They idle around 20 watts higher than Intels, and go almost 100 watts higher at load while being much slower, that is insane.

Go Intel. Bulldozer/Vishera AMD chips are slow, horribly inefficient, power wasting, massive electric bill disasters.
The 8-core FX are alright if you run HEAVILY multicore dependant workloads 24/7 and don't have to pay for electricity yourself, for average gamer/home PC users they're rubbish.

Never really seen much point in Microsofts tablets, atleast the ones they've made so far. Desktop capable tablet is a nice idea on paper, but they haven't pulled it off with the first generation devices atleast. There needs to be a few more leaps in battery life and CPU power/watt ratio before they will be feasible all around gadgets.
Ontopic: Bought a bunch of O-rings from WASD for keycaps.

You can edit the transmission files for more top speed. There will propably be some user friendly car editor tool sooner or later.
Captured some high speed crashes at 60fps, had to frame blend them down to 30fps for youtube of course.
