    Hope so, getting codes from Microsoft has been a fairly simple process in the past, just hope they haven't tightened up. Going to sort it tomorrow, try to anyway.
  4. Nice little arrangement if it works out. Might have been tempted to do something similar a few months go but my incentive to give Android another go remains non existent.
  5. First off, bought my Sennheiser HD-205's last week Streets of Philadelphia is blown into the stratosphere.

    Secondly, anyone here signed up to iTunes Match?

    Oh and thirdly, WP7 got removed. Android stopped booting from SD after the first few boots. Was wickedly fast though! Maybe another time.
  6. What's iTunes Match?


  7. It's a subsciption service based on Apple's cloud movement. It matchs your songs in your library against the ones in Apple's library and stores them online for you but I think it also offers you a higher bitrate download of the songs in your library that are lower than 256kbps. I also believe that it doesn't care for illegal downloads, as long as the songs are matched it'll work. Suppose the annual £21.99 fee covers the illegal downloads. some info here

    Reason I ask is that I wondered if you can actually download the songs at 256kbps to replace the 192kbps ones in your own library, if so I'll sign up.
  8. Hmm... that sounds alright actually. I don't know if I'd be willing to pay £21.99 for it because it could end up becoming a damp squib.

    I'd only use it to replace the low bitrate songs in my library then probably opt out after the first year. I've got just over 9,000 songs in my library, minus the 2,500 U2 and we're talking 6,500. Now I can say with confidence that not all of them are above 256kbps. All the recent CD rips are etc but the rest is lower. so it's a cheap way to upgrade them in my eyes.
  10. Depends on what you consider "cheap", I think that The Pirate Bay (£0) is cheaper (and I'm not supporting piracy at all, I own physically the 100% of my music)
  11. I got a Playstation Portable game yesterday (Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron), from Amazon and for some reason Amazon sent me the European version. I have a standard North American (NTSC) system and yet the game plays fine. Really, really weird.

    There is no regional lockout on PSP games, only UMD videos.
