got a Nintendo 3DS on order for £194.99 (RRP £230)

They just look like they're jumping on the 3D bandwagon though. How can you experience 3D on such a small screen? It's only really IMAX that does good 3D effects. I'd rather have a Wii or something.

Ohai.

3D = FAD. It failed once already. Interactive entertainment may be the way to go to utilize it properly, but I don't think it's really needed for a handheld, I'd just be thinkin what's the point?

the screen is a decent size for a hand-held & it's for games not movies' date=' it will take 3D photo's though, i do agree that IMAX is the best way to watch movies in 3D & 2D, i have also used 3D TV's at Gadget Show Live & one of the best was a £2300 Samsung 50" & it worked really well but you had to use the glasses, but LED back-lit TV's are on the way with screens like the ones used in the 3DS so you won't need the glasses, the 3DS is just the first step.

i have a Wii & it's great, but i don't use it as much now as i have a Xbox Kinect :)

i slightly agree, also 3D for 3D sake is crap like movies that are converted for 3D in post-production, if your going to make a 3D movie then film it in 3D in the first place, as i said above the 3DS is a easy & cheap way to get into 3D they are looking at having movies playing on it & the screen size is no different to the likes of the iphone, also Apple are looking into 3D now.

I totally agree. Animated/GCI films in 3D? Bring it on! Generic tv shows and "real life" films in 3D? no thank you.

I just don't see the need in doing it most of the time, its like film companies are doing it just because they have the technology available. I'm quite fortunate in that I have a Cineworld card so I only have to pay £1.50 to see a 3D film (on top of the montly membership cost of unlimited), but I have friends who don't and a 3D film can be very expensive for them to go and see. I also don't like having to put them on top of my normal glasses, when I went to see Tron the other week I ended up taking them off to watch the 2D bits because I was finding it so irritable. I wanted to go and see Green Hornet yesterday as I had the day off and nothing to do but in the end I didnt bother because the cinema isnt showing the 2D version any more.

I think HD and Blu-ray is definitly the way forward in terms of technology but I really hope this obsession TV companies/manufacturers and the film industry has will calm down

Not impressed with censorship

Thing is some film companies are using it as an excuse to whine even more about piracy cutting into profits 'because the movie costs so much more to make'... while they make movies that keep breaking records for takings... Way I figure it, if things were as bad as that, the companies would have gone bust long ago.

The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the NY Jets last night, now the Superbowl in a couple of weeks is between them and the Green Bay Packers, it can ONLY be awesome :D (so good that I actually like both teams and am undecided on which one to root for more, will probably be happy either way really as long as it's a good game, which it looks set to be)

Aha it's me I am back after a loooong absence. What rocks? Well... I live in an awesome house share (We had a problem with housemates.... They trashed the house and threatened to kill me and thankfully they are gone) I have awesome new housemates. I have a gorgeous boyfriend. I am doing a spot of modelling. I am happy. (Hopefully) Old miserable Danni has gone and new happy Danni (or Kitty as people call me these days) is here.

I still don't have a computer but I have my Galaxy S which is good enough hehe.

Danni is back!

Kitty <3

Just started using Gowalla as another way for people to stalk me. It could be said that it's even more pointless as Twitter (which I love as well) but I really like it. It's made me go out more actually! *saddo*

I had a "Foursquare-phase", but now I hardly use it.

I had a Foursquare account for a while but up until recently I haven't had a smartphone I can use it with, so I had no use for it. But now I kinda like it.

    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
