Thats correct. Microsoft have officially dropped the price of the 360 in Australia.

The cost of a Premium console has dropped from $649 RRP to $579 RRP.

And the core pack is now $399 from $499.

Certainly is good value (always was)

Interesting now that the core console is the same price as a wii. So side by side you can guess which one will make peoples jaws drop.

But the wii does come with biulit in memory, and a pack in game.

Sony currently have there console with a bonus controller, and 2 games for 999.95 (good way to please early adoptors) but will need to do something seeing as how an 360 is almost half price now.

In other news though i got a US model 60 gig PS3 for 450 australian dollars. Now thats good value.

My cousin in the army in iraq managed to get me one for 399 US dollars, which with the exchange rate will be about 450.

So i should have it when his deployment is over which is next month i beleive.

Excellent value and i can't wait to get it.

I already have a DVD player.

And i'll have no problem playing with australians on ps3 games. It would be dumb if you can only play with people from the same country.

With there being only 60,00 ps3's in australia and not everyone being online or having the same game. The servers would be pretty empty.

Damn how'd you get that so cheap? Ebay's your friend? I want a next gen console but would rather wait for the ps3 because of GT5.

Played gt concepts or watever it is the free 'game' on the Sony Store. Even though it only includes a couple of cars and one track. Did not like it at all, didn't feel as real as forza, doing jumps, not getting damaged, very weird handling and really not compareable to the physics behind forza...Is not even close to the league of Forza Mororsport 1 or 2. If you really like simulation get a 360. That way when u hit a wall, you won't just bounce off! And you'll also be able to upgrade the body kits ;-) Swap engines ;-)

I want a ps3 cos it is an insane piece of technology, being able to run linux from stock form, upgradable hdd etc, and it looks so pretty. BUT i will be getting a 360 cos the games like HALO and FORZA and GEARS OF WAR and PROJECT GOTHAM RACING won't be coming out on ps3. which sucks.

    • Hi, We've all posted some thread, or know of some other person's thread, that contains information that we want to send people who are asking question to. But if we don't have a link readily available, have to go do a search for the thread before being able to do so. So, it occurred to me that we could possibly utilise the auto-text-replace function that fixes some of my swear words to perhaps auto replace some special keywords with text that also has a link to the thread. A specific example. The thread that I did with the improved R32 GTR wiring diagram scans. If the phrase "R32 GTR wiring diagram" could be auto replaced with "R32 GTR wiring diagram" then all I (or @Duncan, or any of the others that refer to the thread) need to do is remember that that's the keyword (or phrase in this case). OK, it would be better if this keyphrase wasn't that long, but it does need to be specific enough that it doesn't get triggered automatically. And obviously there are threads on turbo topics, or suspension topics that we could treat similarly. Alternatively (and/or additionally), I've been thinking about trying to build a library of the real expert content that is trapped in the bowels of the 25odd years of this site. Things like some of SydneyKid's content. There are threads that he started that should be more easily found, and he has individual posts, or series of posts, in other people's threads, containing very good information. Some of us know that it is there, but....just have no memory of exactly where/when/how we saw it. If we had some sort of library thread, we could put posts in there containing links to things we've found, suggestions for how to categorise it, then a mod or other appointed thread maintainer can copy the link and any key text up into the first post in the library thread. There are probably many other ways to get it done. Some sort of wiki is probably the best way.   Thoughts?
    • But, probably that happened to the last person too, which is why the RTV was there.....if you aren't putting a new gasket in you will need to seal the old gasket back to the metal surface with something, the gaskets will generally only work properly for a single use as they set/harden in that shape
    • What is with the horrible blue and white bit in the centre of the wheels, didn't that come off with some scrubbing?
    • Not sure how broadly you define Northside  but Castle Hill Exhaust are still around and could sort it.
    • I haven't done this as I still use the factory cluster, but I do know the circuits for the flash vs on for hi beam are separate which is likely the issue. The ON runs full power through the switch and the flash uses the relay in the engine bay. I'd hit the wiring diagram per GTSBoy's suggestion
