NovemberMike shouldn't you be trolling the ps3 forums right about now?

This is your sig on the ps3 forums right?

Oops! :lol

Spoiler

Kinda true though

I wish it was still 5 years ago. Silver>Black.

Not when it starts going yellow, dull and wears off, especially at the corners.

Which ones did that?

Honestly, I don't deal with iPods that much. When I think of apple, I think of the iMac and Mac Mini, which are both nice and minimalist (which is what I like).


That is sexy. Shininess for shininess's sake is not.

That's why I keep my PS3 near my iMac, it's a clash of teh sexy.

:lol Samsung makes cheap products!????

Comparatively, yes. They make products that, at a glance, look like high end equipment, and their specs on paper may look high-end. They're even very good at adopting new technologies before other manufacturers, but they do not make high end equipment.

I couldn't believe how cheap their LE52M87 looked when I had it delivered. (at the time, it was their flagship television) The "piano black" finish had warped reflections all over it which looked ridiculously cheap, and the stand let the TV wobble about as soon as anyone entered the room. Build quality seemed poor as well. It may have been expensive, but everything about it looked and felt cheap.

Its specifications should have put it at the top of its class for LCD; the resulting image was anything but - it used the same image processing as sets far cheaper than it, which looked awful at that size.


On a few UK forums, around the time when the 360 launched, a lot of people were buying the LE__R41/51 models as they were the ones Microsoft was using with their displays. A large number of those had various faults, with many dying within a year. I was without a television for months as a result of mine going faulty, and when it was finally returned to me from the Samsung repair centre, it literally went up in smoke when I plugged it in. I was then offered a refund without any hassle at all the next day. (I had been phoning up numerous times as I had been promised a temporary TV which never turned up and the repair took far longer than it should have)

I know plenty of people that have bought Samsung phones - they might look the part until you get up close, but they're flimsy and every single one of them has had problems within a year.

They are a marginal step above "no-name" brand products, but nothing more in my opinion. At least, that has been my experience with them.

I am stunned here. All companies have bad apples/ideas at times, and I can't speak for your situation with the Samsung TV. But the only problem I've ever had with Samsung is with one of thei LCD monitors(That I didn't buy) because they changed panels half way during manufacturing.

Samsung is a top tier electronics manufacturer, Samsung, Sony, Sharp are 3 of the biggest in LCD and TV products in general. They wouldn't be so loved if they made crap products.

I have a Samsung monitor, TV and Phone. No problems, they are an excellent company.

 

[Oudom]

I cant believe some people are actually considering stacking other consoles or whatever on their ps3. They should be shot.

Oyea, 600 bones? It better be shiny.

 

[beerbelly]

Do you have something of substance to say, or is this just some troll? I posted my opinion about a console I own, but according to you I can't hold this opinion and now we are talking about the Wii, WTF. Take your meds.

You can't read as well? My post did not indicate that you cannot hold that opinion. Your consistent negativity on everything Xbox was in question. You talked about the 360 in a PS3 thread and my post about Wii is all of a sudden SOOOOO wrong?

 

[IronicallyTwisted]

Colour me a diplomat but I actually think all the current generation consoles look lovely, whereas all the last generation consoles looked shitty. I think its a testament to how the industry is maturing, because the consoles (even the Wii) don't look like toys anymore. They look like high end consumer electronic devices.

This reminds me of the constant complaints about the PS3's Spider man font and the appearance of it game disc cases.

So useless =P.

 

[Bearillusion]

No need to ever touch a PS3 as you can eject and insert discs without touching the machine at all. Brilliant machine. Brilliant design.

 

[FordStang]

ot a PS3 as well and I do notice it attracting dust like no one's business. I really do not care about the fingerprints, but the dust is ridiculous. Although I must say, I think the PS3 looks the prettiest outta the 3 consoles.
