All I've done is post fact.  Facts aren't fanboyish, facts aren't propoganda.  They're reality.  The reality is, Sony's console is a bad buy.  Nintendo's console is a better buy than their last.  These are facts, you can determine the future of a console by looking at several factors of the console's birth.  I have a ps2.  I have a ps1.  I have Sony televisions.  I have a Sony CD player.  I have nothing against Sony; I just think the ps3 is a bad business move, it won't do as well as the ps2, and I'm making sure everyone knows what they're getting into before they spend 600 bucks of their hard earned money on a system with no game.  I'm making sure that everybody realizes this isn't about fun for Sony; it's about making sure everybody has a blue ray player in their livingroom.  I'm also reminding and pointing out to everyone that Nintendo solely makes video games, the only way Nintendo can earn a profit is if they make games that people like to play.  Nintendo has corrected mistakes they've made in the past, and for the consumer Nintendo is an extremely valuable purchase right now... for a fraction of the competition you can get games that are more fun. 

The business numbers just prove the trend and are used to backup my opinion, factually.  It's a fact that Sony is losing a lot of money right now.  Companies that lose money don't allow themselves to keep losing, they cut and run.  Sony has done it before with the umd, betamax, the minidisc, etc.  It's my opinion that Sony is extremely arrogant in their pricing of their system, and it's disrespectful of them to think that we're stupid enough to buy it because it says "PS" in front of it.  The true value is @ Nintendo, and I think people ought to know that.

If you weren't so blind in your ignorance you'd notice that I don't attack Microsoft.  Why? ... because they're not arrogant and although I feel their system was slightly overpriced, it's a good dependable system with fun games.  I have no beef with them... they're also not trying to fuck all their fans over and making games that are a disgrace to their company.

cool.. over here the bordeaux r73/r74 (LE32R73BD/LE32R74BD) are the ones with freeview (our free to air digital terrestiral network). the different is that the r74 has a silver lower part, whereas r73 doesnt..

the r71/r72 have the same visual differences but without the integrated digital tv stuff.

was well chuffed last night as i got the TV's remote control working for my old ass pioneer 525 dvd player using a code i found on the t'internet.. (143 i think it was)

just putting the crap pics i took with my phone up online
