The book, IT and the to some extent the film spooked the life out of me and I'm the hardest of die hard horror fans

I read the book in my early teens and mostly whilst holed up in a caravan in the summer holidays. One particular day, all the family had gone out for a walk, but I decided to stay behind. There then ensued quite some storm, battering this rather small caravan with torrential rain. The caravan park had storm drains
Every time there was a loud noise from outside I jumped and thought a clown would appear at any moment
No nightmare though

The film didn't bother me too much and Tim Curry was excellent as Pennywise, but still don't like clowns to this day

They have turned up mate well packed as expected but with that annoying plastic packaging that requires a Stihi Chainsaw to open.

To be honest mate i need to get to the back of my equipment and i'm not about to do it today but will test out the gear tomorrow and let you know sometime later.

Box with the gear in feels very light so i don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing until further exploration ?

No nightmares, just a heart attack! Great story, what a terrific setting for a scare. There's is nothing quite like losing yourself in a good book only to be rudely interrupted!

Yeah, I've seen IT (couldn't remember the title though) and that clown has scarred me for life. That said, it was really amazing how such a character could be painted in such a different light. Stephen King is a master story writer and I've enjoyed lots of adaptations from his novellas and such.

I am still too chicken to read IT though. And I fair few others of SK's bibliography will be given a wide berth too. Mind you, lots of charity shops round where I live. I wonder if it'll turn up anytime? Now, that would make for a good horror story itself I reckon, 'the book' by spook.

You gonna use a chainsaw to open that packet then? Make sure you don't take your leg off at the same time!

So, no enthusiasm for tackling the mess of wires and connections at the back of your AV stand then eh? I'm not surprised. Tis a shame though as I was very keen to see what they were like myself! Ah well, must be patient I suppose.

Well, they look like they're built to last and they're not meant to be too heavy so hopefully the light package is indicative of there being less junk used in the packaging itself. Did you buy the Xbox 360 adapter thing for your controller (as shown in the video) as well? I liked the idea behind using bluetooth to stream music from your phone whilst you gamed. You could put on something nice and relaxing whilst you mowed down those zombies!

Some of the humour was funny but the rest was just repetitive, the skill point system didnt turn out the way they made it out to be either, it was just a gimmick, i wouldnt push the game past a 7. Its not a bad game, its just underwhelming and repetitive

I actually bought the Playstation 3 version of the PX5 and it comes with the lead required for chat on the 360...............So all in all why they release a xbox 360 version and a playstation version is a little stupid if you ask me.

What i will say they better be good and sound a lot better than my Logitech f540 headset which by all means is a nice bit of kit.

One thing i don't like about the turtle beach PX5 is the fact that you have to keep changing the connections depending on what console your playing............That to me is not a way forward for these so called next generation headset because my F540 can switch with just a button on the side of the headset from xbox 360 to p3 just like that.

So since i really prefer my PlayStation 3 for most of my games then it wont really be a problem until something exclusive comes along like Gears Of War 3.

Hey Spook go out and get yourself a PlayStation 3 mate in preparation for me and you to do some serious zombie bashing.................I am sure we will have a great time and you want regret buying your new toy..............

The set only actually comes with a optical cable that goes from the unit to the playstation so it seems straight forward,then you have the usb power that also goes into the playstation 3.................Another drawback is the batteries that are not rechargeable in the headset,again this was standard in my f540 so you have to ask yourself a question for such a expensive bit of kit like these turtle beach why this was not implemented.

I was quietly surprised and enjoyed playing the game,the online co/op is ropey as its not that easy being side by side with a partner and trying to pull of the moves required to advance.

Thanks pal. The additional info was appreciated.

Yeah, I know what you mean. If you're buying a more premium product you expect a little more attention to design details but hopefully the lack of in-headphones recharging and easy switching between PS3 and Xbox means the money has been spent elsewhere, hopefully on sound quality!

I suppose I ought to have gotten a PS3 back when I bought my blu ray player, as it cost about the same if not a little more. I think, were I to buy a new console, it would have to be the Xbox to be honest. Much as I'd like to hook up with you and few other mates on PS3 I think the Xbox would offer better value really. One day perhaps...!

Word to the wise to get a rough idea for how dead island is going to look/perform at call of juarez the cartel, same engine used.

Obviously game play will differ but it should at least give an indication of visual quality and such.

Makes no difference what console you eventually buy mate as Time has them all ,if you was to get a console then i would get certain games like dead island for the console of your choice...................That's if we were teaming up and gaming ?
