theguyfromspark Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Yeah I see what you mean. My point was really based around choice of how much you want to spend, if you wanted to spend the least amount of money on a wii you can just get a console and be gaming with that for about 170 quid. For a 360 you can buy a Core unit with no hard drive and a memory card and be gaming with that for about 200 quid. With the PS3, you have no choice but to buy the PS3 in the only way you can for 400 quid. Vaguely similar to the PC/Mac thing with your options for a cheap PC being greater than that of a Mac and with a significant price difference.

Emasher Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Yes, but on the Wii you have to buy a offical Lan adaptor, a Official power pack, rummors of a official Hard Drive etc. not true just because they make official stuff dosent mean we need to use it i think however this should be discussed on the wii board (not here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I'm depressed, the brand new 15" is only £50 more than what I payed for my MacBook last July, yet so much more powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKOB Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I'm depressed, the brand new 15" is only £50 more than what I payed for my MacBook last July, yet so much more powerful. I've already learnt not to look back when it comes to technology, especially apple stuff. Just gotta keep on chugging i suppose unless you have oodles of money hiding in a cupboard?

Jasper Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I'm depressed, the brand new 15" is only £50 more than what I payed for my MacBook last July, yet so much more powerful. Half a year after I purchased my spanking new iBook, Apple released the iBook. Now I need to switch simply because of the new processors and applications that won't work in a year or two from now. So who's complaining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 On one of the Peep Show commentary tracks David and Rob riff on how the proportion of Macs on telly is inversely proportional to the Mac market share, i.e. 95% of computers on telly are Macs but 95% of computers IRL are PCs with the Windows OS. That's why Mark has a PC on the show. They also use Macs on the West Wing, by the by. Also, has anyone seen Pirates of Silicon Valley? It's a made-for-TV movie about the rise of/competition between Apple and Microsoft/Jobs and Gates. It's narrated by (actors playing) Woz and Ballmer. The writer or director, can't remember which, claims to have at least two sources for each scene. Steve comes off pretty bad. He's obviously incredibly driven. I sympathise with him though. He has a big ego and he doesn't treat people all that great but I think you have to if you're going to do Big Things, for good or ill. It's like Hunter Thompson. He had a huge ego, but it was part of the job description. You have to have that confidence. Did everyone else have to search Hunter Thompson from Mr. Smarty-Pants there?

Emasher Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 i have this odd feeling that apple's factories are at least enviromentaly friendly with Al Goor being a ceo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 i have this odd feeling that apple's factories are at least enviromentaly friendly with Al Goor being a ceo Thats not what Greepnpeace said. Okay, Apple sais they want a greener Apple, but okay. Still a lot of work to do just now, before they really make those Granny Smith's green. >>And Al gore isn't all that eniromentally friendly, either.

They haven't changed the service for years - so what would they change from it? Maybe expand it and give it free with every mac for a year. That would be nice.

Steve Jobs said at D that Apple are looking to change the service soon 'to make up for lost time'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I'm sorta hoping they don't announce any new macbooks, i'd rather they waited till next July, in time for my next upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 you'd be better off if they released the new ones a few weeks before its time for you to order because it takes a few weeks before they start shipping the new ones after the anounce/release them (my dad ran into this problem with his mac book pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
