That depends, if they’re 8 year olds that can build WMD’s, reinvent the wheel, powerstations, saws, safety devices, doors and the rest of it then fair enough 😛 I could do that shit when i was 8 year old too, just slightly fucked up when i’m doing it these days now 😈 Young’s Modulus FTW!!
On a more on topic note – I think woolworths have packages where you have a choice of free games?

But you should want a DS 😛 DS > All handhelds 😉 Though Lammie – they give Cars away because it’s crap hehe, had fun with it for 5 mins but that’s about all 😛
Baht!! Look at it this way…
There are people in the que who can afford to just abouts meet the launch RRP and a game… then they get to the front of the que and the shop is out of stock, every cocksucker infront of them was only buying it to cash in and eBay it for the big bucks.
It’s not only leaving the actual dedicated gamer without a console in their hands, but to the few hardcore who want to get in on the action as soon as they can, they also lsoe 2-3x the contents of their wallets. They’re the people at the back of the que buying it from the people at the front of the que.
They’re not scrambling to buy it a few weeks earlier than launch, they’re buying it AT launch, so in theory not any earlier. The only reason they get out of stock in the first places is because of the afordmentioned bastards getting there first =/
Don’t forget the coprations lose money on every machine, earlier machines are usually revision 1 but as the price goes down, manufacturing and supply chain improvements as well as more mass production allows the costs to come down in Rev 2, which is then passed on to the consumer.
The only way the hardware manufacturers can really make any money is the software, even then it’s a long term investment of 3-5 years before they start to see any real returns.
When I was in the fun police I had to block all kinds of crap – seriously if we didn’t the amount of shite that gets onto the computers in such a short space of time by people playing ‘free’ spyware infested games and these phishing sites and stuff would give us more hassle cleaning it up afterwords. Time is money in business and wasting time cleaning up employees mess which shouldn’t have even been there is money wasted. Added to the infestations, you’ll be surprised how much net access reduces staff productivity – you’re there to work not wank off to goat porn. Blocking individual sites would be a bit twatish though, really you have to block the whole internet and allow a few select trusted/safe sites. Prevention is better than cure, so there really isn’t anything you can do except beat the crap out of the mongrols holiday shopping untill your staff cna be trusted enough to actually do some work/not fuck up the machines 😛
PS3 will have just as good a quality/shite game ratio (mostly shite) as any other playstation and besides these cocks who just que up to sell it to someone else who was at the back of the que who actually wanted to play it…. well they should just be shot at the counter after they hand over their cash and before they receive the console. The little bastard got everything that was coming to him, it’s only a shame it doesn’t happen more often.

Soooooo…. can some1 make it easy for me and tell me what I need and how much it will cost/where to buy it? Ive totally lost touch with the scene in the past few zears so any help would be cool.
I have a super fast 1Ghz PC in the other room, seriously it’s the fastest PC you will ever find in it’s class, but I can’t let you try it untill you buy it!! Cough up!! Oh and welcome back 😛
Maybe it is -_-
But then maybe it aint….
I just checked on Odeon and the earliest showing at my local Cinema is on the 29th of November @ 10:50am (senior screening)..
They can’t get their own advertising wrong, surley?
The trailer looks nice, but the website says it’s not due for release in cinemas untill Crhistmas Day?
Troi is an empath, not a telepath though; yes there is a difference!
She can’t read specific thoughts, but can read the emotion attatched to those thoughts (fear, anger, attraction etc.) -_-
Although it’s inaccurate and anyone who ever watched the show for any amount of time would know that (yes, even if they watched it once…), it still is pretty funny!! 😀
