@ Robert: I am hoping for more. I do expect a new dashboard by November, as they tend to update that around that time. But I am not sure Major N would have made quite so much effort to post a countdown to that. I doubt they would make a massive fuss about a kernal change.
The current dashboard is fiiting in to the W8 style to a degree already, and there is no doubt that they are looking to get the same look across all products.
It could just be a radical software overhaul, but my wishful thinking is clouding my usually sound judgement, therefore I pick new hardware.
@ Maulerx: I have heard so many rumours on the tech specs my head spins. I never got in to PC gaming so tend not to appreciate the details of the specs as much as I should. So I don't really know what I am talking about in that department. A lot of the comments on other sites say that the proposed specs are a bit underwhelming, is that right?
@Nisse: I had a listen to those recommendations, but time was at a premium so I could only get through a few. Downloaded the mix, so I will have more time to listen later.The mix gave me some new sounds. One of them was a Swedish tune (I am assuming it was), inte prata med framlingar. So I thought I should find out what med framlingar. I tapped it in to Bing and got 1 result.... Could not believe it. The page was virtually blank, not seen that before. Nokia music also gave me some Joel Alme, Magnus Carlson and Hello Saferide (The Quiz) - I seem to remember enjoying that one. Some interesting listening.
I will let you know about Mirror's edge too. Looked online and it stands at ?3, which is just amazing. Not done the BF campaign this time, did BC2 one though. I used to do the COD ones on veteren but got really annoyed when one of the achievements would not unlock. Love the Specopss bits in MW2. I didn't get MW3 or BO2 as I had tired of the multiplayer a bit and was getting stuck in to Battlefield.
Oh and don't get your candles too close to the gun powder!
