So...is it good?

Why yes, yes it is. I'm watching Eurosport HD, I can basically see the colour of the spectators eyes... Hahaha, ok, maybe it's not THAT good. It is excellent though.

Got the HD installed on Tuesday meself. Picture is excellent. The olympics in HD looks amazing - can single out every crowd-member in the background.

Can't wait til my first Prem match in HD.

I don't get it.

Why would I want to be able to see the people in the crowd?

Me too dude. Pity there's no La Liga HD coverage, that way it'd be the best of the best of the best :pac:. If only we had TV3/ Canal in Ireland.. =P

Well if you weren't a pedantic chops-buster looking to poke holes in my statement you'd understand that I was merely giving an example of how detailed the picture is.

Well, if you can see the crowd clearly, imagine how good the athletes look. It's a relative scale.

Knowing how considerate and customer friendly their Chief Executive is, i'd say a limit of about 2kgs!!!:D

Think it's 15kgs, but i think there is a bag charge now, no matter how little you put in the hold.

Bounty Hunter

there is a bag charge (non-hand luggage) alright fairly sure i paid it when booking though

cheers though 15 sounds right

I plan on milking college for as long as I possibly can, if that means studying for a Masters and a PhD, then I guess I'll take one for the team... :pac:

Bernard "Olé Olé" Dunne is on talking about the boxing.

:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Talk about rolling the bandwagon in.

Necronomicon

Have any of you guys bought stuff off Play.com or Cdwow?

I want to get a birthday present for someone, but I'm a bit concious about delivery times. I bought off Play once but can't remember how long it took. I ordered off HMV's website a while back and it took bloody ages.

Yeah, delivery times are ok.

When is the birthday?
