OMG OMG OMG!!!!

Test Drive Unlimited 2

Im VERY! excited to find out this game is coming out. If you didn’t play Test Drive Unlimited  the first time around it was SO much fun. TDU was set on the island of Oahu which was copied from google maps meaning you could actually drive around the island’s 1000+ miles of road and best part yet is you could do this online and either cruise with friends online or race. TDU was out on Xbox PS2 and PSP of which i only played it on PSP and i still own that game today. The whole island of Oahu in my pocket = loads of fun with the worlds hottest cars i recommend it even now, years later if you have a PSP as it has a 32 player map.

Look’s like TDU2 is set for release in the 4th quarter of 2010, hopefully quite a while before GT5 as i won’t have time for anything else once GT5 drops. Still won’t stop me from buying TDU2 though.

IBIZA

TDU2 will be set on the clubbing capitol of the world Ibiza and will feature dynamic weather effects, day and night cycles then with enough game progression you will be able to unlock a new updated island of Oahu from TDU1 SWEET!
It will feature SUVs and a co-op game mode in which one player drives while the other player reads the map and ofcourse 8 player races  with 32 players being able to walk around in a nightclub.
Judging from the last game this one will be a little like Burnout paradise but without the crashes, PS3 Home but with cooler stuff to do, Like GTA IV but no gunplay and better looking cars. I imagine the night clubs of Ibiza will come into play as it’s confirmed you will be able to walk around with your character (TDU1 didn’t have and avatar you could control it was all cars)

I can’t wait to go to Ibiza with all my PS3 friends and drive around in the hottest cars i promise you it will be a greqat experience. Check out the Trailers below.

Changing / Upgrading your PS3 Hard Drive

Ok so Christmas has come and gone and im sure some of you have brand new playstation 3 slims but some of you want to change the hard drive. Not a problem.

I made the videos below quite a little while ago so they are made using the old playstation 3. The playstation i used is one of the more difficult PS3′s as you have to jump through hoops to install the system software back on it after you install the hard drive. However with that now said you should get a good idea of how to change any PS3 hard drive as if you have a different model it can only be easier.

I now currently have a PS3 slim with a 320gb hard drive in. just know before you start that you will loose all info on the hard drive if you take  it out of one ps3 and put it in another. also you should know that if you update your ps3′s system software to 3.15 or higher you can connect 2 PS3′s together using an eithernet cable and transfur all the info from your old to your new PS3. as you can read about HERE  http://www.robgroove.com/?p=204

Now with all that out of the way, Heres the videos i mentioned. Enjoy!

Western Digital 2 Terabyte Network Hard Drive & my PS3

Christmas is coming and i had to tell you about a new gadget i bought a little while back. I needed some more storage space and after looking around on the tinterweb i found this little nugget. I present to you the AWESOME Western Digital 2 Terabyte My Book World Edition.
Its a little expensive but if you want to share files between your computer and PS3 or multiple computers and PS3’s and even Xbox’s although i don’t touch Xbox’s so i haven’t tried it, you can.

The WD 2TB WE plugs into your router using an eithernet cable, put the cd in your computer, install it and your pretty much all set.

On your computer you sign in using a username and password allowing you full access to the HD’s contents including the private “Downloads” folder (private) and the “Public” folder (public).
in the public folder you find 3 shared folders, Music, Pictures and Videos. and its these folders that can be picked up by your PS3 allowing you to stream all the movies you want from your HD (Hard Drive)

Meaning i now have 1200 movies i can watch anytime on my PS3 AWESOME.

There is also a usb slot on the back allowing you to plug in another Hard Drive for even more storage space should you need it and on the front this relaxing white light which pulsates when files are beaing written or read  in a “Kit from Night Rider” kind of way.Another GREAT thing about the HD is you also are able to access all your files on your Hard Drive from anywhere in the world thanks to the MIONET.com account you get with this Purchase.If you have the money have a need for these features i HIGHLY recommend getting one of these bad boys. Its Simply Brilliant.
