My home on the web

I have recently bought this dvd for £35, and despite some reviews saying that is not that good, I have a completly different opinion.

This player can read everything I throw to him: DVDs (is region free), divx movies, xvid movies, mp3.

It supports an external drive, using a usb 2.0 connection. The only limitation is that the external drive must be formated as FAT or FAT32. It does not support NTFS.

It has 5.1 sound, as well an SPDIF output. I use the 5.1 output and is really great. There is also the SCART connector, the composite connector and, the one I use, the HDMI connector.

When you use the HDMI, you can upscale all the media that you are seeing on the dvd. I’ve been seeing Battlestar Galactica and X-Files upscaled to 1080p and the difference for the normal resolution is abysmal. It seems like I am there (this is special true on X-Files, which is a older show).

The remote works well, giving all the functions needed. The player is also very small, and it does not overheat, and also operates very silently.

Overall, it is a good product to buy. There are probably better options on the market, but for £35 this is a bargain.

I’ve just bought the first 3 seasons boxset of this great show, and started seeing the episodes again.

I almost forgot how good this show really is. The way it evolves, the way the story is unfold, is really breathtaking. It is probably one of the best shows around, and it is a shame that it will end next year.

However, can’t wait for the day that the second half of the fourth season starts, so we all can see the end of this great show.

Hello everyone.

I have received some comments about this post, and I am glad I could help.

It really is annoying that scammers, even when faced with the truth, try to get out of it. Like the last guy, who is a bank manager and does not try to scam anyone, and the buyer should trust him because it has his address.

I mean, come on? How hard is it to go to google maps, check the address and see if it is actually a house? Because the last scammer that tried to scam me gave me an address of a furniture store. And even when I told him it was a furniture store, he just keep telling that he lived there.

Anyway, keep your eyes open and be always careful. There are good deals on the internet, but there is also a lot of scams going around.

Well, this game has been out there for a long time. As the picture says, since March. And I have been playing it a long time.

But now I have some little free time (very little), and will start making some reviews of the games I’ve bought.

After this one there will be for Sega Rally, Colin McRae Dirt, Bishock, Need for Speed Carbon and Hellgate London. Yes, they are all old games, but maybe after these I can make some review of a more recent game.

Starting with Command & Conquer 3, i enjoyed the game very much, until it ended.

The units are very nice, and with the last patch is very balanced. Some of the missions may seem hard, but with some trial and error you can easily pass them.

The new race just have a couple of missions, with is a shame, because I really loved the species. The units are great, and I would like to have explored that a little more.

I was hopping for a little more from the endings, where it was kind of disappointing to me.

The expansion is all about the NOD. Granted there are now factions, and the new mode Conquer the World, but is not enough. I would like to be able to explore the history from Command & Conquer 3, and to play a little more with the third race.

I hope there will be a new expansion, or tow (on for the GDI and one for the Aliens).

In overal, is a game that after 6 months of owning it still makes me want to play it

Rating Command & Conquer 3: 8/10

Rating Command & Conquer 3 – Kane’s Wrath: 7/10

At last preparations have started to moving home. It will be close to central London, a 11 minute trip by train.

It is a nice house, a ground floor converted flat, one bedroom, lounge, big kitchen / dinner room, and a real nice garden on the back, just for me .

Moving should occur somewhere around next week. It takes a lot of time to move everything and assemble all the furniture
