    E3 2006

    What I was talking about was how successful Sony would, or would not be with PS3. As one of the reasons I mentioned the blu ray feature, not necessarily that blu-ray would change every ps3 players life but rather a tactic used to sell more, and to fulfil Sony’s intention in sneaking their blu-ray technique into our living rooms "Low budget" can be a relative term. Someone investing, say 2000 Euros for a TV that would theoretically work 10-15 years might be willing to pay that, but would faint when seeing an 800 Euros price tag for a console. That doesn’t mean that they are poor, but rather that they don’t see a console being worth all that money. If they however could use it to watch movies in high definition and thereby not having to purchase a separate blu-ray player then all that money could be seen as well spent.

    Gah. Yes, some random morons paid insane amounts for the 360 when it came out. But what Sony is looking for is quantity. In order to sell hundreds of millions of games, you need millions of customers with the console. And I don't think we have enough brats in this world to cover sonys needs (or.. maybe we do, but most of them well prolly be too busy feasting on Russian caviar to pay notice to computer games). Prices will eventually drop, but the thought of paying around 800 Euros to get started is off putting for me. But just to balance it out... I’m pissed off at Microsoft right now for not having the capacity on their servers for all the demos and trailers on xbox live (due to all the new E3 content). And for making an insane move together with EA by releasing two almost identical FIFA games, and not making them compatible with each other. Oh and the fact that they’re releasing a new version of the CPU early 2007 (this is kinda inevitable, as seen with PS2 and the old Xbox) Edit: Some of the typos..

    Well, how much was the xbox when it was first released? 1100dutch guilders(=+-500€), and there were still people who bought that thing! (I bought it when it was cheaper)  Ehem, The Xbox 360 Premium package cost me 3500 Swedish kronor the third of December (€370). Paying  €599 for what seems to be the premium package is a lot. I’m a little surprised that the price tag is so high. Say that you’d want the console, plus one extra control and two games you’d probably have to pay almost €800. You can’t deny that PS3 has a lot of loyal fans, and surely many grate games coming up, not to mention the included blue ray technique. But that kind of a price tag can be very intimidating. Ezei, Im not sure if the über gamers, willing to spend shitloads of money on computers will be enough to brake even for good ol' Sony

    What a beautiful she-goat. I wish I had some quality pictures to share. All I have is a video clip taken with the cellphone camera of some fireworks which turned out to be in a fairly good quality, but nah..

    David & Oprah

    The day we’ve all been waiting for is finally here. The day when Oprah enters the Ed Sullivan theatre as a guest for the Late show with David Letterman. This fantastic evening is by Dave himself called “The Super bowl of loveâ€. For many years this was nothing but a dream, but as we all know dreams do occasionally come true. So brace yourselves! And for all you American viewers, do not forget to turn on CBS at 11:30pm ET.

    I like what I'm seeing. This topic has been really interesting to follow. There has definetly been a change of quality (for the better). Now, I would love to contribute with some nice stuff as well, but I really don't have a good digi cam, nor talent for it, and on top of that I'm far too lazy to shoot and edit pictures. Keep up the good work every one!

    Has anyobody tried 3d Glasses?

    Saying that tft screens would have a much higher refresh rate is wrong, isn't it? Mine is set at 60 hz and it doesn't give any of the problems a crt @ 60 would give. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the way I understand it, the tft only has to change the "pixels" when the pixels themselves actually change, contrary to a crt where the image has to be update continuously.

    Yes, the image quality itself seems to be close to what many would describe as on the verge of erotic.

    Last time I saw some tv footage from the celebration of the itsenäisyyspäivä in Finland I saw a similar parade. What is wrong that?

    War of the Worlds

    I saw the movie today. I must say that I liked it. I had no expectations and didn't really know what kind of a flick this was. I don't have any sort of personal agenda agains Cruise, even though I think he tends to over act in some of his movies. I am glad I wen't to see it and it's well worth the money.

    what does that have to do with anything? Â No, but seriously. I think we all understand what you are trying to say. I just wonder how big this problem is. Most with non working sigs just don't give a rats ass. The other part which is helping people creating signatures and avantars sounds like a nice thing.
