Just checked all of the different settings and it made no difference

I don't have the money to buy an external sound system though and I have already bought my speakers so I dont want them to go to waste!

Well I had to buckle. I have just ordered a 2.0 soundbar from Currys for £60 including delivery on Monday between 12pm and 5pm. Also ordered a 2m digital optical cable whilst I was at it for a few £ from amazon. Both will arrive on Monday so I can set it up then!

lets hope the sound works!

well I have received what could be my final Xbox 360 game on launch day at full price. Lego Marvel Super Heroes, and its great!

Always a big fan of the Lego games, Hulk is fantastic good for smashing things and he can change back into Bruce

from now on any 360 games I buy will be months after launch of reduced in price

Well it uses digital optical which is the supported audio for the Xbox One and on the reviews people have said they are using it on Xbox 360 and PS3 and it works fine. Just means that I now have a speaker set for my PC and headphones too. And a soundbar for my Xbox One! Not too bothered because I could use both on my PC too and get some decent sound out of all of them!

So with the consoles coming out I thought it was only fitting we have a new banner for the new consoles and their games. Very similar to the current one but less biased towards Xbox and more for both of them.



What do you guys think? Do you want any different games in there instead?

Just changed a few things on it, the games in the background and the size and position of the text. Tell me what you prefer or if you don't like either of them please!



The second one!

2nd one looks good to me

Dad made an observation that the B looks like a 3. Is this an issue for you guys?

actually hes right! never noticed it but now its all i see! lol

put some small dots in to make it clear its a B?

Or.....

What about them now?

thats good

why do I get the impression that my "friends" will upload clips of my Forza "incidents" for a laugh, bet you could make a compilation, Britain's worst driver   

looking forward to testing smart glass on the new xbox, wonder if the app will need updating on my phone and laptop

the top one but the left hand side of the B needs to be chunkier

what i means with the dots was having it like :3 but the dots would be in the gaps in the left side of the 3 to make it look like a B

Yeah I know what you mean but to get it exactly the same is extremely difficult so I figured going for the line would be easier and probably look better!

Will make the slight adjustment now and upload it again!

Now sturm?

With the dots to see what you think:

hmmm the dots dont work as well as i though they would, i think ill nominate the top one!

Okay so just playing with a new trick I learnt on photoshop and came up with this:



I can add anyone's name to this if they want it?

And going by games I know you said you were looking forward to and a certain game which nobody can get you off atm, I made you a little something shifty!

New banner is up on the website guys! Hope you like it!

I've noticed hardware reviews section is empty, I take it someone will do a Xbox One review?

I was going to add some pc component reviews in there but never got around to it.

Give it a month or so and someone will surely post an xbox one review or ps4 review. Im happy to do the xbox one unless one of you want to?

me.......




3 months after you lot have got yours
  

you can review what its like not to have one  

just wondered if we should have a section for rumours perhaps, rather than putting then in general chat?

There was a news section before but everything got posted in the general section. If you want it back then i will add it back but you will need to post stuff in there do not to make it pointless (like it was before).
