Whoretown - Now Interest Free

"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

my ps3 plays 1, 2 and 3 games.

means I only have to have the 1 console plugged in.

and I do play 1 and 2 games on it.

not often, but thats the point.

dont play them enough to have the dedicated console plugged in permanently.

and cbf hooking it all up when I do just want to throw it on.

and you might be able to download it, bit whats the point if I already own it?

Understated? Market share? yes. Critical acclaim? Nope.

Yamazaki has taken 1st at the World Whisky Awards 5 years running now for best single malt and Hibiki has picked it up 4 out of the last 5 years for blended malts.

And yet the Japanese drink their whisky as Mizuwara - 2 parts water to one part whisky in a highball with LOTS of ice.

never tried Hibiki heard of goods things though -

I wanna try the Yamazaki sherry cask and 25yo

[-Boz-]

The 25 is almost flawless. Perfect balance with lovely sweetness off the grains but intense wood flavours from the maturation. Hint of smoke and a touch of peat but not a lot. Mainly dried fruits but at the spicier end of things.

Yep - Japanese whisky produce high quality stuff and have been for quiet some time now. But even the 12yo yamazaki is rather pricy at $85 a bottle (or something like that)

I never put ice - water only if required (usually with the younger whiksies - anything over 18 - usually very minimal to open it up)

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.

Marketing depts justifying their existence - very well mind you

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

Yamazaki is beautiful! It's great that it's understated- keeps cost down.

I have small ice and big ice. I use ice if it's a warm day and then it's only one small cube to chill a little.

A touch of water opens it up so much more though.

Keen as to get it - just hard to procure in Oz

its color is so deep (better fkn not have any coloring in it ) - read reviews about it even think it was nominated the best SM in the world over 20yo)

Pphhhh........blends - can't drink blends (been many years since I have)

this is a big factor Tony.

Try your whisky in a Glencairn glass (no ice ok) and add a drop of water, cover it up (with a watch glass cover) and leave for 20mins.....then taste it and thank me later.

Yep, heard that. the one above is just standard R32 GTR model and cost me around $89 + $20 postage IIRC.

I have the R32 VSPECII at home also in crystal white but costs me even more, which is why I'm not buying anymore......for now.
