I've said it before and I'll say it again. I dont care if retail stores stop selling games for my XBOX, I'll just continue to pick up the games I never got round to playing off Ebay for £3-£5 and build up a substantial collection of quality games to keep me happy until the prices for the new generation of consoles come down to somewhere not approaching ridiculous. I'm just going to sit back with my pile off games and wait for the dust to settle.
F-Prot is piss poor. I work for a company that was using it only to find out that it wasn't detecting 50% of viruses and of the remaining 50% that it did find it was unable/refused to remove 30% of them. Absolutly useless.
I've never had this problem, my phone doesnt interfear with any of my audio equipment, however one of my friends used to have a TV that when his phone rang would lose its horizontal hold and go a bit crazy.
Screw them. There really is nothing on offer with the 360 or PS3 that would convince me to part with that kind of money. I'm much happier building up a collection of quality titles for my xbox and PS2 by purchasing them on ebay for £2-£3 each. Maybe in a couple of years when the price drop and my current consoles give up their magic smoke I might think about buying one of them but for now I'm happier to have my bank balance looking a bit more healthy than it would.
Im still looking forward to the UK release of Guitar Hero on April 7th, and to tide me over while I wait for that I've got Outrun, Deus Ex 2 and Forza all of which I picked up for £4 each. But I can see what your saying, a quick scan down the 2006 release schedule of my gaming rag of choice shows a very sparse line up with not to much to jump up and down about.

Seriously why is the fact that a dvd player can be unlocked such a suprise to some people? Walmart in England has been selling one for a number of months that plays off the shelf not only all regions, copies, divx and xvid but also plays them off of data cards as well. All this for £35.
Ditto with phones that have cameras, PDA capabilities, etc. That way you could still use them in aircraft, hospitals etc. without having the problems an active phone are supposed to cause.
All the phones I've had are either fuly ON or fully OFF with maybe juts an alarm fucntion being available.
My P800 had a flight mode that could be used in areas where cell phones were not suppose to be used.

Ahhh, but how long is a piece of string?
More than likely, but in the meantime I have a REALLY big pile of dirt cheap top quality games to keep me happy ;) .

Cauliflowers make great brains for frankenstein foods.
And the other 37% were put straight onto the NSA potential terrorist list.
My car already runs LIKE shit, now it can run ON shit as well.
I did. It is... Probably should have thought through the possible ramifications of that one before doing it though. Oops.
I'll take two please.
"Philips' patent acknowledges that this may be 'greatly resented by viewers' who could initially think their equipment has gone wrong.
Nooo what viewers will think is that Philips are a bunch of money grabbing whores and they'll avoid there technology like the plauge.

At least their server lasted longer than the battery in my ipod.
Hmmmm yessss, because that image doesn't look mocked up at all does it?
When I was at University I spent a lot of time wearing my gown. Unfortunatly it was my dressing gown while sat infront of daytime TV.
My P800 had a flight mode that could be used in areas where cell phones were not suppose to be used.
