Thereyou go. It's a boxset of all the movies over 19 discs with a load of special features, has blu ray and DVD discs. I think the book is a load of photos from throughout the movies.

The normal boxset is like half the price but doesn't look anywhere as cool as that.

Despite having the first 7 dvds i may need to buy this....

Cakes.

That's some bargain :O And better still it looks like a good laptop..
My laptop needs to be repaired, screen keeps going bust

Colm!

Hey, Boards! I've got around €400-500 to spend on a laptop right now, so I'd appreciate your recommendations. I want to be able to use it for general use and DJing (then again I don't think Ableton, Traktor and VirtualDJ are very demanding programs, I think I could nearly handle them on a netbook (but don't want a netbook)), and to be used with the two other pieces of materialistic junk that I WANT:

http://www.thomann.de/ie/novation_launchpad.htm (probably as a Christmas present)

*sigh* The pains of an unemployed materialist.

Oh man, wanting that Mixtrack and Launchpad so badly.

Admittedly yes, but much cheaper than monome and still has a lot of potential:

I've seen loads of those videos where DJ's do on the fly mixes using either those or the Akai APC40, what I never understood is how do they remember what every button does and not make a mistake? Where do you even start constructing a mix like that?

Colm!

You have to start by extracting your samples\effects (or even instruments) in Ableton and assigning them to the buttons on the pad, a long and boring process. Madeon does Launchpad sets for all his live shows and said the preparation for it is basically like working in Microsoft Excel.

As for not making a mistake.. I couldn't see it being that hard as long as your layout isn't confusing as ****. That, or all those videos on youtube are done after many, many failed takes.

EDIT: Anyway, laptop advice?

Oh my god! I didn't even know this existed. 3 DVD's, 4 CD's. I want this more badly than anything else in the world. If someone bought it for me, I'd start crying, no joke. This is my idea of pure heaven

I hope it does soon! They're not that expensive to begin with really, but I need to keep a tight budget at the moment.

While I've yet to do more research into possible options for a smartphone, the Xperia Ray just seems so delightfully nice. I just hope it isn't a bad phone (if you read this shadowninty, any thoughts? :pac: )

The Rays a really good phone. After making an absolute balls of their 1st android offerings, Sonys started doing it right recently with this,the Arc & the Neo. Facebook is everywhere on their phones though :pac:

Most high end Androids are very similar in spec, and are only really damaged by too much manufacturer input into the UI or by slow updates. Custom ROMs fix both of these issues.

Ye, the review I'm reading on TechRadar makes mention of TimeScape's Facebook and Twitter feeds being crap, but I think they said it could be disabled (at least, the FB/Twitter stuff)

Oh... thanks for mentioning that, I'm gonna have to investigate that a bit - although, tbh, I've plenty of time since it'll probably end up being a present to myself at Christmas (if I can save enough by then).

If you're getting anything Xperia brand, you WILL need to switch to Cyanogen. Stock Timescape is bloody awful.

They got rid of Timescape and made it a few apps and Widgets. Should be grand Robby91

Just these, thanks.

A new MP3 player, non-Apple. It's incredible I've put up with all the iTunes bullhicky for this long, considering I never use it to buy things. An 80GB MP3 that lets me do what I want with my music with a minimum of hassle, yes please! People who know things about technology stuff, what's the skinny with regards MP3 players these days? What's a good one to get?

What Sony one has 80gb capacity? I've a Sony NWZ-A845(16gb) and while it has some very nice features and it's size is great (think iPod Nano 5th Gen), the major letdown is its low power (can't fully power my large headphones without a portable amp, has no problem with earphones) and it's lack of accessories. It is near impossible to get a dock for it.

Putting music on it is nice though. It supports Drag and Drop, a Sony propriety program, as well as WMP and other similar sync programs.
