Zero backwards compatibility from what Ive seen. which does suck, but only for a little while till you forget about the old ones

[-Boz-]

Maybe EA and M$ have the same guy making the decisions on how best to piss off paying customers.

There is No maybe about that little fact, one of the more senior execs at MS in the Xbone division was VERY high up at EA for a long time

"Holidays 2013" so I'd say November.

No backwards compatibility. Not sure why people actually care about this feature. It's not like your old machine suddenly disappears if you buy a new one, and besides the PS2 no machine has ever really done backwards compatibility anyway. The 360 had limited compatibility that was gimped to say the least. I'd rather a machine with no backwards compatibility then gimp a new machine to make it work with old games.

In the plus side, PSN will be doing digital distribution of 'critically acclaimed' PS1, PS2 and PS3 games

at least you can tell apart from the good stuff and shite stuff

Glenfiddich Master is a stupidly over priced 12 year old whisky. Double wood ageing does not mean you can suddenly start charging $100 a bottle fo what is essentially the same shit they sell for $50 a bottle. At the $100 price point I could give you a list of whiskies as long as my arm that are better value for money.

Glenfiddich Solera Tun 15 year old for starters. Same mix of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks for maturation and a significantly longer maturation time in each before blending to achieve the flavour profile.

[-Boz-]

or you could pay a smidgen more and buy Glenfiddich 18 year old where a single malt is also aged in the same mix of barrels and using the same process as the Master.

How you get away with charging nearly the same for a 12 year old as an 18 year old when they are aged in an almost identical process is unknown to me... That is some clever marketing.

agree but it is predominantly a marketing game. having said that SM whiskys start at $50-$60 per bottle. That Glenfiddich Master is being by me FTM.

Got it, but not opened it. Will see what it brings and how it compares to its younger brother (14yo. american oak casks - which is too dry for me but still very nice)

Killed that 18y.o. bottle, absolutely sensational - hints of apple, cinnamon and custard - t'is all marketing Andrew you know that.

Best value for money IMO - Highland Park 12 yo. (if you like it smokey )

Boz - "the man" when it comes to scotches

I have asked and been school by him before

[-Boz-]

Talisker 10, Ardberg 10 and Glenmorangie 10 are all my picks for the bang for buck singles. All around the $70 a bottle mark

[-Boz-]

My go to is Laphroaig Quarter Cask Love me some Islay malts.

[Ants]

forgot to mention that the Glenfiddich Distillery Edition (15yo) is also fantastic at 51% proof and non-chill filtered (can get a 1litre bottle for less than 120 big ones) got two bottles at home - very spicy

wot u talkin bout.....you get taken to school everyday

Talisker 10, Ardberg 10 and Glenmorangie 10 are all my picks for the bang for buck singles. All around the $70 a bottle mark

Got Ardbeg 10 and Uigeadail - very different from most - smoky but delicate and powerful at same time - hints of cookies and cream (yum)

Glenmorangie owns Ardbeg but my fav out of all Glenmorangie I have is the Nectar D'or - wonderful whiksy (half way through it) - butterscotch, grilled peanuts come to mind wow!

My go to is Laphroaig Quarter Cask Love me some Islay malts.

I'm a highland man - with HP being my favourite collection - Glenfiddich is warming up to me though

have and tasted many more like - HP 25yo words cannot describe this - plus just got voted 100 points (musky nose, white chocolate and christmas cake, unbelievably drinkable)

Suntory SM also awesome - I could write a book about this

if you are going down the Japanese Whisky route Hibiki 17, any of the Yamazaki's or Nikka 15 or older

[Ants]

I think that Japanese whiskies are way understated from a market share point of view. They are if not already better than some scotch whiskies.

Have 12 yo Yamazaki - very nice - lots of sherry with hints of caramel and sultanas
