Re: virgin to launch radio player on consoles

Nice idea... that would be cool.

I saw that one game is gonna incorporate the forecast from the Weather Channel (can't remember which... it's been a long day) to match the conditions in-game.

I remember Metropolis Street Racer (PGR's daddy) on the DC used the system clock to determine whether tracks would be daytime/night-time, which was pretty cool at the time.

I think one thing might be good obout this feature. Is if they link it to certain games which it will be suiyable to listen to music when playing like driving games.

Imagine Playing GTA IV being able to tune the car radio to radio stations you want. Like virgin radio etc. The scope is huge and MS has done an oversight.

You can do this already, regardless of whether the game supports it. Just put an actual radio near your console.

Yeah, i assume you know that theres actually an option to help you install Linux as a secondary operating system. And if i remember correctly they support the installation of one of the Linux OS's as well.

Its not a major thing, but the missus does like not having to unpack my laptop to do the shopping online... just boots up ubuntu and uses it on the TV.

Need to get her a wireless keyboard and mouse tho, as she has to sit on the floor atm.

Yeah, I've seen that. Official support for Yellow Dog, but you can also install other distros too... I've seen a "How to" guide for Ubuntu over at Ubuntuforums. Quite a nice feature :tu:

The Wii browser has been updated now... final version was released a couple of days ago. Definitely an improvement over the beta "Internet Channel". Still a pain with a Wiimote, but works well depending on what your browsing (e.g. it's quite good for the aforementioned internet radio, & also stuff like YouTube).

Re: virgin to launch radio player on consoles

Right now. It simply makes use of your console's web browser.

Just open your PS3's web browser, & go to http://www.virginradio.co.uk/listen/

All times are GMT. The time now is 08:29.
