5 Cylinders, all moving independantly - perfect balance. 5 seperate ignitions per revolution, as opposed to the 2 seperate ignitions of a 4 cylinder. A work of genious.

shoulda got this noob. it is 600hz

TV's with high refresh rates are a ripoff unless the source your watching is actually outputting at that rate. Standard TV in the UK is output at 24hz, no where near the claimed 600 that the plasma thing does.

@BBO - the Iiyama VMP's are the most sought after ones, (at least in the gaming community) I got this big dell one so I could use a higher resolution and not be squinting at the tiny details, the resolution on this is huge.

(I apploagise for the WoW screenshot, just wanted something to show the size)

I prefer 30Hz rather than a big and ugly thing with a masive ass which can work as a heater in winter

Working as a heater is a good thing in the room that my PC is in, its got no radiators and the huge front bay window was smashed at one point - so my dad picked up all the pieces and glued it back together (he actually did that...)

Its the same temperature in here as it is outside.

But, can it core a apple?

It can CoRe one.

Quote from JO53PHS :

No, he bought a CRT Monitor

Sure did. Refresh rate is much higher than any TFT monitor, its like 22" big, and its just generally sick!

170hz is sick as f000k!

Quote from logitekg25 :

i think my point was those features should have been in the g25 to begin with (because they are all pretty easy to do :really

the lack of sequential is a huge down for anybody!

and if you used 3rd and 4th for sequential they wouldnt center, because if they did then h-pattern would also center which would be bad

Well the G25 was a significant improvement from the DFP, I think that's what they were trying to do.

Also, I'm not sure if you have the full concept of how companies have to research, plan, develop, test certain ideas to put into products. One person doesn't go "look I've made these gears a funny shape and its much quieter". They pour resources and money into researching these things.

Here I go again with my comparisons - When the first Ford Model-T rolled out of the factory why didn't they put air con, electric windows..etc. They all have to be pretty easy to do!

"the lack of sequential is a huge down for anybody!"

Not for anybody, the people who don't use it will be glad - since they get a better H-shifter as a result.

Quote from logitekg25 :

booooooo i am dissapoint (insert funny looking face here)

the helical gears should have been there first of all (DUH!!!) they should have just made a metal shifter (or atleast more solid) mis-match-able to the g25, and the new pedal thing. the g25 is too loud, more buttons needed, and the shifter was not good enough

The first human being to create fire didn't use a lighter - how could Logitech use the technology if they didn't have it?

"the g25 is too loud, more buttons needed, and the shifter was not good enough"

By my reckoning they fixed all of these issues ( to a certain degree) and put them into the G27.

Too loud = Gears
More buttons = Easy
Shifter = Smoother action, and i'm assuming less noise and clunkyness.

Quote from Crashgate3 :

Seems to be where I live that's doing it. If I put the address where the car is kept as my parent's house out in the country, that £1700 quote for the Mazda goes down to £700.


What's the likelyhood of getting away with saying it's kept at my parent's house? (which is a good 100 miles from where I live)

Well if it does get nicked you might have a few words from the insurance company, i'm not sure about the formality or "rules" on it though.

I'm also looking for a car, having just turned 17 I need something that can be bought and insured for < £1000.

Maybe I should get a Gee-Wiz.

Thats as scary as it gets for me.

Quote from nikopdr :

So uhm, you sure this isn't any scam site to scam addresses etc?

Scam addresses? There's a lot of people going on about this and inviting people, so I don't think its a scam thing. Anyway, you can pick up a phone directory and find people's phone numbers, addresses, names..etc. If they wanted to find addresses and somehow "scam" the people in there I'm sure they could pretty easily.

Nope
It's a matter of taste tbh, I quite like it though.
Yup, it gets new cars quite often.

n00b you can never shed the title!

Whats this thing about? I got invited and signed up, seems you can earn "ptz" and redeem them for games..etc? Big stuff happening apparently this weekend, if anyone wants invites then pm me or leave your email here.

When you sign up you play a little 2d arcade game, try and do as well as you can on this - it gives you those "ptz" and if you do well enough you can already afford quite a large selection of games.

Seems pretty cool!

Quote from bunder9999 :

i don't see it on their website... i'm still calling fake on this... why would logitech remove the sequential shifter and add more buttons to the wheel... it makes the wheel look fugly.

It gets around the problem of the wheel having too little buttons near your thumbs. Think of another shape that would look good? Square? Nah - Circles would look crap too.

I think it looks good, hopefully there are some internal goodies too, a G25 with a few more buttons on and some lights definately isn't worth splashing out on - unless they do a G25 - G27 trade up deal. (Trade in your G25, get a G27 for £50 or so)
