I GOT IN :D:D:D
Have been trying since there were over 5000 codes left. :D
Good luck to those who don't have theirs - still 500 or so left
See my comment/reply above (1.6).
The contrast of this set is in no way as inferior as people are making out to be. It is level with almost all of the other non-LED LCDs.
240Hz is NOT 240fps. Hz is the screen refresh rate - not the same thing as frames per second. If you played a 60fps game on this screen, then each frame of the game would be displayed four times per second. The 'motionflow' part of the 240Hz is a fancy name for frame interpolation - in basic terms, the TV 'guesses' what's in between two of the frames of the 60fps game (8 refreshes on the screen), and then would display what the TV THINKS should be there.
Generally Sony sets are...
3000:1 is the norm - The '33000:1' and '50000:1' ratios are merely Dynamic Contrast Ratios. I.e, you only ever need to pay attention to the real CR, as the dynamics are there purely to coax consumers into tihnking ':O this one has a higher contrast ratio! It must be better!'
In reality, pretty much all the manufactures measure their own Dynamic CR's differently, but the only real way to compare them would be using the 'real' CR's - the 3000:1 stated here.
Crysis does appear to be the exception with dual-gpu / crossfire/sli cards and performance gains though, according to the vast majority of reviews out there. Still, the heat is excessive...
Still hanging on to my good'ol Windows 98 Pentium III :P
Need anything else be said?
You will have to do it again - Only 10 of the 56 or so trophies are retroactive.
So, December 2006 I bought this magazine's first issue, and had subscribed in the second issue in ... Feburary I believe. Up to issue 11 I loved the mag, and was sure to re-subscribe. From here though, things went downhill quickly and I've now cancelled my subscription and will now not buy any other issue.
The problem began when they reduced the physical size of the magazine relatively drastically, yet kept the same price and page numbers. I was annoyed, yet still happy with th...
Downloaded July 2nd ... Obtained my final 12th trophy an hour ago :)
120Hz is NOT 120fps. It simply means the screen refreshes 120 times a second, which then doubles each frame (if a game's running at 60fps). Frame interpolation is when the tv 'guesses' what frame should be inbetween. Put simply, 120Hz is nothing to do with 120fps.
We've known about these TV's since Feburary
And reliabilty - that's one of the main reasons for interest in Solid State Drives.
120Hz is totally unrelated to fps. The 120Hz simply doubles the number of screen refreshes per second (from 60 - 120 in the US, or from 50 - 100 PAL regions.)
If you have a game running at 60fps playing on a 120Hz set, then each frame of the game will be reproduced twice. The 'Motionflow' part of it is the frame interpolation, where it effectively 'guesses' what the added frames will be. In most cases though, I've found it does work effectively on high class sets, though badly ...
You seriously think Sony are actually going to charge us the equivalent to what the US pay? That's if they even offer it to us over here...
Funny guy...
Hopefully it's true, as I already have my preorder with them :)
Got to level 8, and thought 'I could be playing cod4 right now', so I did. :)
Me too! :D
Just how many new registered accounts has eurogamer gained from this? In the thousands already, and with the last stragglers later today hoping on the off chance there might be one left, I'd say they haven't done too badly out of it all.
