Just a better screen than the 6400 normally comes with. He paid for the better one when building it on the dell website. Not sure of exact spec of screen but can always try and find out if important...

Yep. Although my colleague paid for the screen upgrade too so believe mines a bit more swish. Also has windows 7 professional instead of xp (as I think that one had)

If you're referring to mine, it has windows 7 already...

I looked into it a while back and theyre available online for around 29 quid. Haven't bothered as the laptop stays on a laptop desk the whole time (also available for tenner if anyone wants it - was 20 from ikea few weeks back)

How much are you prepared to pay? I have a dell inspiron 6400 with upgraded screen, with 2gb Ram, windows 7 and 120gb hard disk. Bought it for 200 a few weeks back off a work colleague but was given a Mac at the weekend by a relative so considering selling the laptop. Only things to consider is that the battery with it doesn't hold charge for longer than say 1/2 hour so ideally needs to be plugged in and I dont have the windows 7 disk (will uninstall everything on it, default it etc though) Happy to sell for say, 140. If you or anyone interested let me know.

How would you go about checking out granted patents?

Thanks for the calendar tip! Re the online play, I agree about the pairing of partners. Shame you cant go straight into another game though in the same way the rematch feature does in custom games

Sitting pretty at the top of this table too! http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/9289012.Fair_play_Saints_top_the_table/ Also commiting less fouls than our dear chums down the road http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/9289118.Saints_players_commiting_fewer_fouls_than_rivals/?ref=rss Nigel has stressed numerous times about the importance of not giving away cheap free kicks. Something Cotterill has clearly forgotten to mention to his players!

Looking at it I'd say it would come off fairly easily. But after you

I'd rather go without all the stats n stuff (which I don't really look at and surely cant take that much to process anyway) It's almost as if they just want to simulate waiting for the next game, as fifa 10/11 showed it doesnt have to take so long, or even happen at all.

Hmm i'm sure it went really quickly in fifa 11. This one goes really slow...

Not sim'ing a match as such but after completing a match in career mode you seem to have to sit there and wait for the calendar to progress to the next footy day before you can choose next match? Does triangle skip straight to next match in this case too? It does say O stops simulation but you still have to resume from same day when you start it again..

What's with having to wait ages for simulation to finish to get to next match. Meh.

Hmm washed mine on 40 few times and seems fine. Slight pink tinge around end where glue is but unnoticeable really ?!

Blimey. Never seen Dog having such a sensible conversation

Hmm.. played this at lunch after itching to play it since friday.. Not sure the charges warrant forking out another 40 quid - Major update for a tenner maybe. I see they havent bothered putting any more effort in getting saints players to look anything like they do, despite being a league higher and therefore a more significant team than last season. Not sure about the photos that they have used for all the players in squad profiles either; Most have the wrong shirt on and are quite possibly the least flattering photos going (more so than the ones on the OS!) so looks a bit rushed. That said, it definitely feels more realistic and once I've dropped my bad habit of holding O all the time to get the ball (useless now unless close to player) then I'm sure Ill get on with it. A few times pressing O close to the player resulted in me booting the ball away once I managed to steal it. presumably because I hit it twice or because I'm using classic button layout? All in all I don't think its worth another 40 but you just have to each year, don't you...

Posted after coming in from heavy night out or after getting up early before work?!?

Song 2, Thats the wooo hoo song I was after.....

Or just a lot of alcohol consumed by certain individuals and memory is a bit hazey? As a soberton at football matches I remember it happening all too clearly.

My guess would be that it comes out of the same speakers as the PA system so wouldn't have thought so. Although maybe the PA system sounds worse in certain areas?!?....

Must be a full 90 video on saints player that clears this up...

Definitely do play music and makes me cringe each time. That blurr song with the wooo hooo chorus comes to mind.. Seriously needs to stop.

Not worthy of starting a new thread but thought some would find this funny http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=051_1316697993

But he will have one less present to spend on at christmas so good deal...

Great point. Before these last two games youd think the squad could do no wrong.
