Dacia Media Nav EvolutionĪ built-in navigation system may seem a curious addition to a car that bills itself as the cheapest on the market. Live traffic and speed camera data is included for three years and they then cost £42 and £69 respectively per year. You will, however, have to take your car to a local Citroen centre. Thankfully, map updates are available free for the lifetime of the car. It is still considerably more expensive than the best portable systems we’ve tested, though. At £500 in the C3 hatchback (if not already included in your chosen trim level), it’s also reasonably priced for a built-in system. Citroen Connect NavĬitroen’s Connect Nav is easy to use, despite a low-slung screen, and offers quick route calculation. Currently, for an A3 hatchback it would cost £164 for each upgrade, not inclusive of VAT or labour charges, which vary from dealer to dealer. However, things get more expensive after you’ve used those up, as maps can only be updated at an Audi dealer.

Foreign athletes were housed in army barracks and college dormitories, and some of the English athletes made their own uniforms. Building materials were in short supply so no Olympic Village or new venues were constructed. Gymnastic equipment was borrowed from the Swiss and the Canadians donated planks of pine for the diving boards at Wembley’s indoor pool. The London Evening Standard reported, “A people which has had its housing program and its food import cut, and which is preparing for a winter battle of survival, may be forgiven for thinking that a full year of expensive preparation for the reception of an army of foreign athletes verges on the border of the excessive.” With economic constraints and rationing throughout Europe, the British Olympic Council was determined to execute the games as inexpensively as possible. Guinness was one of the four major sponsors that the British government used in an effort to help subsidize the 1948 Olympic Games.Īlthough much of the country was in favor of hosting a second Olympic Games, many were reluctant to spend too much money on the games. While cigarette, soft drink, and beer companies may not have been the first choice of sponsors for an athletic event, the British government made do with what was readily available. Hoping for a supplemental source of revenue, the government welcomed four significant commercial sponsors-Brylcreem, Coca-Cola, Guinness, and Craven A-to augment government funding in order for the games to proceed. With less than two years' planning, the focal point of these games was to bring nations together, but due to wartime expenses the government was still in dire financial straits. It was the British Olympic Council’s key role in the organization of the 1908 Games that brought the Games back to London in 1948, as it was the desire of King George VI “to heal his nation’s spirit” after six years of war. The London Games of 1908 were revolutionary-regulations for the athletes were identified for the first time and the status of the amateur athlete was truly defined. This first post-war Olympics saw 59 countries send more than 5,000 athletes to the war torn city of London as it played host to the Olympic games for the second time. All of the images in this article were pages taken from this program. ![]() This program is a part of the sports collections at NMAH. This was the front cover of the official program of the 1948 London Games.

![]() We’ll have to stay vigilant and see how it all turns out when The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D releases this year exclusively for Nintendo 2DS and 3DS. With pre-orders popping up so sporadically it is tough to tell how supply will end up in the end. Scalpers seem to be snatching up as many copies as they can, with many retailers trying to stifle this behavior by limiting purchases to one at a time. These, admittedly more expensive versions, seemed easier to buy as they were available on the site slightly longer than the regular release.Īll of this trouble is over the special Skull Kid figurine, which comes packaged with the regular game in this limited edition release. And if EB Games follows the same trend as Gamestop it will likely offer a few copies of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D Limited Edition bundled with the game’s strategy guide. One thing to watch for are cancellations, which will pop up in waves on the site before selling out quickly once again. This isn’t the end though, as we saw with the US release which had various stores sell out before having the game available once more a few hours later. Unfortunately the same stock issues are happening for Canadian customers, with EB Games reportedly selling out of their initial run in about ten minutes. ![]() Canada has, so far, only had a copy available on Amazon, but today looks like the wide release for pre-orders with Best Buy, Fry’s and EB Games posting the game for the first time. The game has popped up on a few US-based sites, causing swift action from gamers that resulted in sold out stock within just a few minutes. Stay tuned for more.Buying one of the newly announced limited edition versions of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D has been a game unto itself. Some retailers such as Best Buy have yet to release word if they'll be allowing preorders or are even selling the Limited Edition, though the listing on their website suggests they will. This includes the GameStop exclusive Ultimate Edition bundle of the game that will retail at $84.98 and comes with the Limited Edition of the game as well as an exclusive stategy guide from Prima. It looks like the preorders for the Limited Edition have pretty much completely sold out. What do you think? Is the US getting the short end of the stick again or do the perks match up to those being offered overseas? Will you be getting the Limited Edition bundle, the regular one, or sitting the release out altogether? Let us know in the comments below.

To add insult to injury, preordering was not an option. Nintendo is pretty notorious for releasing uneven amounts and versions of the Limited Edition sets for their games in different regions.Ĭase and point, while European and Japanese gamers enjoyed some oh-so-sweet Limited Edition options for Hyrule Warriors (with bundles that included a real scarf in Europe and Triforce LCD clock in Japan), Nintendo of America only sold limited copies of the scarf bundle at the Nintendo World Store in New York. ![]() When it comes to major IPs for video games, a mere 1,000 of an item is exceedingly rare, and that's exactly what you've got here with The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Limited Edition.

Following the blueprint of soul pioneers, Love Letter is a callback to the genre’s Motown heyday, delivering lush, elegant R&B during an era of canned, commercialized music. The only thing that holds it back is its girth.įorgotten favorites: “Did You Ever Think,” “Money Makes the World Go Round,” “Dollar Bill”Įdd said: The album that made R&B fans fall in love with Kelly all over again. This album proved that Kelly was not just an R&B balladeer, but one of the most influential voices in modern music. This double disc album boast THIRTY tracks, encompassing the genres of R&B, hip-hop, pop, gospel and country. But the album is still a fun, breezy listen.įorgotten favorites: “The Greatest Show on Earth,” “Prayer Changes,” “If I Could Make the World Dance”Įdd said: Kelly’s biggest-selling album to date is also literally his BIGGEST album to date. Instead, he delivers an upbeat double album that balances faith with family-friendly dance music. Soul In Stereo rating: 3.5 stars out of 5Įdd said: Mere months after Kelly beat child porn allegations, there was NO WAY we’d get another braggadocios sex album. The mood is a bit tepid and preachy at times but it’s a welcome change from the usual Kellz debauchery.įorgotten favorites: “Feelin Single,” “Green Light,” “Lady Sunday” Soul In Stereo rating: 3.5 stars out of 5 (read our review here)Įdd said: The spiritual successor to the Love Letter album, Kelly stepped away from the strippers and rappers to deliver a back-to-basics album that maturely explored love and relationships. The album didn’t offer very much outside of the soap-opera shenanigans, but it gave us another layer of Kelly’s musical genius.įorgotten favorites: “In The Kitchen,” “Hit It Till The Mornin,” “Slow Wind” Before the concept went completely off the rails, this audio version of a Tyler Perry play was pretty clever, taking musical storytelling to an entirely new level. It’s far from his best work but it’s still a fun ride. “Real Talk” still cracks me up with every single listen.įorgotten favorites: “Hook It Up,” “Real Talk,” “Rock Star”Įdd said: Ah yes, the “Trapped In The Closet” album. In many ways it feels more like a rap album than an R&B one. Kelly’s greatest strength has been his ability to adapt, and here he seamlessly blends his music into the current hip-hop climate. Kellz really sleepwalked through this one.įorgotten favorites: “Number One,” “Pregnant”Įdd said: While this album was filled with cringeworthy moments (“Sex Planet,” “The Zoo”), there were a fair share of standouts as well. ![]() Besides the “Number One” duet with Keri Hilson, all the tracks feel like the Walmart Great Value version of Kelly’s earlier hits. Soul In Stereo rating: 2.5 stars out of 5Įdd said: This album’s greatest sin isn’t that it’s bad (although it’s certainly not very good), it’s just downright forgettable. Black Panties is all of Kelly’s worst attributes in one shoddy package - juvenile, oversexed lyrics delivered without a hint of passion.įorgotten favorites: ummm, let me get back to you… Check out the review above to get the full story. ![]() My hatred of this album has become legendary around these parts but it’s justified. ![]() Soul In Stereo rating: 1.5 stars out of 5 (read our review here)Įdd said: Yeah, THIS album.

In this case, it’s a proven fact.īefore Kellz releases his latest effort, The Buffet, take a look back at his game-changing discography, from worst to best.

It may sound like I'm a WRC fanboy only here to complain about Dirt Rally 2.0 but I actually enjoy the Dirt and WRC titles the same. ![]() ![]() I still think dirt rally 2.0 is the best looking and at least one of the greatest rally simulators we have gotten so far (except for tarmac).

WRC 8 also has multiple flaws but many agree that it's more fun than dirt rally 2.0 because of the stage selection. I would suggest everyone to check out Jimmy Broadbent's review and impression of the game because he's an actual professional sim racer. You also don't get the same sense of speed like WRC 8 and the game is very unforgiving with the crashes. The modding part really sucks because I don't think that there will be added many new stages and it will kill the game, (modding is the thing that has kept Richard Burns rally alive for so long). Many stages are locked behind DLC walls and there is a lack of modding. Although Dirt Rally may be 2.0 really good, it has many large flaws. ![]() ![]() ![]() A mobile app for iPad lets you work with projects on the go.

If you're flying through space in an intense dogfight, holding a thumbstick down to perform a series of loops and turns can be a lot easier than hurriedly throwing your mouse around your desk in an attempt to maneuver smoothly. If you're playing a fighting game, you may get more satisfaction out of the buttons on a controller, which you can frantically mash. It's easy to swear by a keyboard and mouse where twitchy response and pixel-perfect aim are concerned, but there's a huge arena where different gaming controllers can have an edge while playing on a gaming PC. From poorly ported consoles games to action adventures and racing simulators, there are more than a few cases where a gaming keyboard and gaming mouse aren't necessarily going to be the best input options. ![]() |
