So, I am currently attempting to sell my xbox I bought very recently. A couple of years ago I successfully wielded off some shady "buyers" on another thing I was selling, but today topped them....within 5 minutes of the ad going live I've had four "interested buyers". Now, the ad clearly...

Anyone here know if MAD Magazine is still for sale locally? Havent seen it on shelves for ages!!!

Hi Guys! A while ago I ordered some things (shirts) online, from UK, totaling about R900. So the package arrived and the import duties on it that I needed to settle was R560.49. All good, yet steep. Anyway one of the items was packaged way oversized so I returned the one item. Still no...

Hey guys, Anyone else here on 8ta having some data speed problems the last couple of days? Mine have dropped from average of 4MB/s to a measly 3kb/s on Monday and has not restored. Calls to the "help" center have proven futile... Anyone else having this problem?

So who's playing it? Add your PS3 tag here...mine in my sig.

ICO and Shadow of Colossus (SOC) were released recently in all its HD-remastered splendour for PS3. Now the reason for Sony’s mission to squeeze some extra dough out of consumers by re-releasing old titles that have been jacked up graphically to fit today’s gaming-trends can be debated, but...

Roughly a year ago EA released the NBA JAM HD Remake. Although the game was awesome to begin with, it carried a pretty steep price, and was released on disk only. Additionally it was one of those elusive titles which, if I have been observant enough, only surfaced on major retailer shelves...

Having never played the original Crysis way back when it drove PC gamers into upgrade-hell, I jumped at the opportunity to pick up the recently-released PS3 “port” on PSN. I played Crysis 2 and enjoyed it, so I looked forward to seeing where all the nano-suit madness originated from. Plus...

Hey guys. So I've only recently repurchased an xbox after about 2 years on the ps3 console. (ps3 is still around too, though) Anyway, I recovered my gamer profile and immediately set off to redownload some of the xbl content I purchased all that time ago. But nothing works as "full games"...

Hey guys, I recently bough a TP-Link MR3220 router to set up my wireless network at home. Little bugger works like a charm but I'm having some ps3 connectivity issues. Sure, everything connects to PSN fine. I am able to download updates etc but cannot enter lobbies for online games. As soon...

Hey guys, Silly, but quick question. We've got a bit of a residential issue I need to take up with our body corporate. Is it ok to destroy mail of which you know the recipient? I mean, legally? Ok, that sounds stupid...lol The reason I'm asking is a long story but in short in the age of...

So here is a quick guide to help with the Smackdown VS Raw (SVR) games. Since the fighting mechanic in most are almost identical, this will help you rise through the ranks to the the ever-elusive gold. I will be adding to this guide in the coming weeks, so at present, it is a work in progress...

Ok, I’m going to put it out there: I used to be a wrestling fan. And a big one at that. So crucify me for once enjoying the testosterone-driven soap opera...oh, and by now I am well aware of the fact that it is not a shoot (read: it’s fake. “oh no!!!! :’( lol” ) But in the last 10...

Hey guys. So my iBurst contract is in its final days and apparently they do not need my business as renewing and adapting my contract is turning into a nightmare...So I've decided to make a move. I had a look around and the new 8ta 10GB for R199 deal looks pretty sweet. And the 7mb dongels...
