Aussie Ben Posted October 26, 2006 I've not bought a Sony product since my then-brand-new slimline tape Walkman exploded in a shower of screws and aluminium when it fell off my desk at Uni (which was about 8 years ago). Although that sucks, it sounds really spectacular and I wish I had been there to see it. Fuck Sony, etc. etc., I wasn't really planning to get a PS3, but this has certainly sealed the non-deal. Although I will have to get the PSP port of Parappa, seeing as I can't find the original anywhere. (Sorry.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted October 26, 2006 ...but only if it was the side you're deaf on that stopped working! (Sorry.) Doesn't matter, I can turn it around. Anyway yeah, Sennheiser is fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted October 26, 2006 I have the PX-100, but it's not as comfy nor does it sound as good as the Koss Porta Pro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adfegg Posted October 26, 2006 I'm boycotting Sony. While I already didn't plan on buying a PS3 during the first years of its cycle, I'm now not buying the PS3 at all unless second-hand, and I'm no longer buying any other electronics equipment from them (they've been my default brand for digital cameras, phones, voice recorders etc. for a long time).Obviously I'm not just reacting to Lik-Sang, as that would be retarded, but it is definitely the final drop. Lik-Sang + rootkit + overheating batteries + bullying Aibo hackers + bullying game devs into making games shittier (oh man, the horror stories......) + bullshit proprietary formats + attempted blocking any sort of homebrew use of the PSP + low durability of their products = whatever, fuck you, I'm out. I'll have a Nokia phone, Nikon camera and a Microsoft Xbox now plz. You know, Sony have an electrical store where I live. I wonder if I could put some stickers on their doorway? Coaster-sized would probably do, and of course I'd need to find out how to make them. I think I'll have to make sure my face isn't caught on CCTV or I'd be for it! Thank god for British weather! Sony: Murderers of Liksang Please boycott all Sony products or "European consumers have shown that historically they don't mind [the delays], because they end up buying as many PlayStations, if not more, than the US and Japan." Prove them wrong! Boycott Sony! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toblix Posted October 26, 2006 Shouldn't we look at this from another angle, and try loving Sony even more? Maybe then it would see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted October 26, 2006 Sorry man, I'm bad with writing correct english. it's -> its The former is a contraction of "it is", the latter denotes possession. I don't think they teach us this properly in school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted October 26, 2006 Not anymore anyways. Just look to the internet for thousands of examples. I've already said that I will only buy Sony products second-hand from here out, but I'd like to reaffirm that as everyone seems to be right now. Also, the PX-100s are fantastic. I've had my pair for almost 3 years now. Best $80 I've ever spent. Fantastic range for headphones. On heavy bass songs, it's like wearing a subwoofer strapped to your head, while still not losing any quality from the higher frequencies. Brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loonyboi Posted October 26, 2006 it's -> itsThe former is a contraction of "it is", the latter denotes possession. I don't think they teach us this properly in school. Even if they did, the Internet is simply awash with abusers of the English language. Misuse of "it's" drives me nuts. It's so blatantly wrong and yet so many people do it. The worst is when I see it in games. X-Men Legends II misuses it's several times. There are other typos, but there's no excuse for that one. I admit I'm a stickler for typos, but some people are the extreme opposite. When I was in college, our newspaper was such a joke that the first six issues (six issues!) had typos in the banner headline on the front page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gfoot Posted October 26, 2006 Misuse of "it's" drives me nuts. It's so blatantly wrong and yet so many people do it. I get more concerned by people writing "of" when they mean "have", e.g. "I should of gone out last night". It demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what they're actually writing. The alt.usage.english FAQ is a fun read if you're in to this kind of thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salka Posted October 26, 2006 "your" instead of "you're" ... ¬¬ Anyway please excuse me but... what does QFT mean? EDIT: Okay I've found out what QFT means and let me tell you, anybody who uses this is INSTANTLY AN ARSEHOLE in my eyes. Just more fucking people trying to make the internet your little special fucking place where only you understand the fucking shitty internet language that you speak. Let me tell you this, making shit up or using shit that other fucking people have made up does not instantly make you popular, and even if it did, it's only the internet so it doesn't count. Swearing and being angry doesn't make you popular either. Why don't you QFT that, arseholes? (EDIT 2: boohoo hooooo I miss polite only ¬¬) EDIT 3: Actually, do you think that, in the future, a language will be invented based on synonyms? It would be difficult to learn, like Japanese, and slightly less cool Listen I'm going to need somebody to swear back at me and try to put me in my place.

Marek Posted October 26, 2006 EDIT: Okay I've found out what QFT means and let me tell you, anybody who uses this is INSTANTLY AN ARSEHOLE in my eyes. QFL. Actually, do you think that, in the future, a language will be invented based on synonyms? Acronyms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted October 26, 2006 Acronyms. I think that she meant things like "they're/there/their" or "its/it's" becoming so misused that they form their own language. In which case I believe the proper term would be either homonyms or homophones, depending on who you ask. Ummm... yeah. EDIT: oh yeah, I meant to do this too: Okay I've found out what QFT means and let me tell you, anybody who uses this is INSTANTLY AN ARSEHOLE in my eyes.
