Re: [Audyssey] Lenses and controllers was Re: PS3 ControllerswasBloodmoney Online fighting
Well I have had a grandpa that had an issue with a printer, an old laserjet which I managed to solve. The guy just did not get it that after having to turn it off for 20 minutes and doodling with things that I had to search the net. He kept asking if he should throw it away. Even if that was the case I wasn't just going to chuck with out consulting someone else etc on it. If he had his way it would be a new printer and dump the other because its not working so it gets biffed. At 06:55 p.m. 22/03/2009, you wrote: Nod they did fix the problem, so I hear.

The first dualshock controllers were absolute tanks. They could handle anything. Now its just cheaply made, expensively priced (for what you get). Something like the lenns in the ps2.

Re: [Audyssey] Lenses and controllers was Re: PS3 ControllerswasBloodmoney Online fighting
I think a lot of it in the older models depended also on how much you play, how much system resources the game took up, etc. I got my XBox 360 back when they first came out, so I've had it for quite a while, and the heat sync only just started going a few months ago. Twas an easy fix though, turns out the little clips that hold the sync in place had melted, so we just bought a repair kit and fixed it ourselves. The XBox, for all its publicity with errors and such, really is a pretty solid system. The only reason I prefer the ps3 over it is because the ps3 has the resources to do much more than the xbox does at this point, and because I have more games for the ps3. Just my opinion though. -- From: Liam Erven liamer...@gmail.com Sent: Saturday, March 21, 2009 9:40 PM To: 'Gamers Discussion list' gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Lenses and controllers was Re: PS3 ControllerswasBloodmoney Online fighting Mines just fine.

not as dumb as using the cd drive as a cup holder. Whilst we are on the subject of dumb things, I have had one instance whare someone asked if the mouse mat was compatible with vista/xp. Not the mouse but the mouse mat. It aint hardware, not even plugged in. And if it was what function would it serve anyway. Just thinking makes me laugh. You need drivers for your mouse mat else your mouse mat will not work. At 07:56 a.m. 23/03/2009, you wrote: Hi, Oh, are you sure his brain was powered on?
