I play fantasy football earnestly every weekend, initially I was lost on where to goto to pick the right team for the weekend, recently I came across this amazing site called http://www.bethemanager.com, :bowdown  thought others who play fantasy football also might find this site useful, I've bookmarked it already !!

Lemme know if you find it useful too !  :)

You are aware they play blu-ray discs and aren't backward compatible? ie won't play PS2 games.

EDIT : that said I was going on what I had heard, it is quite interesting to read customer reviews on Amazon

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PL....&sr=8-1

Won't be buying one myself until the prices drop significantly and there is a lot of point. For me the point will come when there are sufficient games I might be interested in buying and they are not available in other formats. Reviews say it does play DVDs, but I would buy a DVD player for that purpose rather than a games console. I think blu-ray are more expensive from the last ad I saw for a film in both formats, I'm not so plush that I can go throwing money at luxuries

Never buy from PC World, product quality is poor and their 'customer service' is even poorer

Fifa 09 online is starting to :censored: me off.  The quitters are ridiculous and because of it I hardly ever get a win.  I don't have it in me to quit so whenever I play another honest person I'll get a win, but thats rare so my record is terrible!

Ban the quitters!!!

Play ranked games. If they quit, it goes down as a loss to them and its nothing on you. They also get something else deducted, I'm not sure what it is. Also, file a complaint against the c unts and send them a voice or text message telling them how sh*t they are.

I've been playing ranked, but if they unplug their cord and "lose connection" they can get away with no loss.  I think their DNF still goes up, but it makes the game disappear from the history.  I hear if you wait in the screen that says they quit and check their gamertag to make sure it says offline or in a lobby before you quit the ended game session you will still get the win, but I have yet to see them in my history.

However my Easportsworld and my my stats records are different.

Nice one, you've saved me lots of googling when I want to find out that as I don't upgrade my computer every 6 months.

Seems to be a bit inaccurate. According to the recommended settings I need to upgrade on Devil May Cry 4 but ive been playing it on full settings and had no problem what so ever. I need to upgrade my processor and to upgrade to vista, but when I play the game there are no problems at all. To keep up with games released today we always need a top processor but dont let this program fool you, it can back itself up by saying "you meet the minimum requirements". Useful program but dont let it sway you into parting with your money for unnecessary upgrades.

Right, to set the record straight, your players were diving more than Ronaldo in the first match which resulted in two of my players getting sent off.  :D  I had the upper hand in the second game but couldn't buy a goal. Carra and Agger held out for you well though, although I should of had a pen to make it 1-1.

Next time gadget, next tiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmme!   :D
