yes camm that is exactly why people are choosing not to buy black ops

games are now SO prohibitively expensive that only a privileged elite can afford to buy them

the fact you'd take a screenshot of a shitty call of duty game is fucking pathetic. go get some real skill.
get some real skill.

the fact that you even took the time to type that... just lol. I game because it's fun, and whiles away hours that I would normally spend doing nothing anyway. I don't game so I can become part of some elite clan, and wave my gaming-god dick around like half of you lot do. I couldn't give a FUCK if I wasn't good at a game. I derive pleasure from games, not a massive boner because I got a killstreak.

Mostly because you don't possess the ability to get a massive boner... IJS

since when is a game considered 'tech'

this thread is for posting pictures of technology and cool gadgets you have purchased

i fail to see how posting the receipt of a fucking digital game purchase is anything other than being a twat

I got the can on top to replace the (somewhat faster but ever so horribly broken) can underneath.

Feels far more silent and reliable, man.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I can't remember who asked...

But it isn't anything to do with tax.

Only the publishers choose the price of games in different nations.

E: Also, it doesn't cost them anything to transfer the data to AUS...

...it's all hosted on our ISPs servers...

Because Gigabyte was too cheap enough to provide a MOSFET heatsink...

Arrived today, and fit my mobo perfectly like a glove. I didn't even have to remove my mobo to do it. Definitely did not feel cheap, had a nice heavy feel to it - I don't know what the temperature difference is but on a review I read that its significant. Even if its not, I'll have some peace of mind...

I was thinking..

Since Aussies screen their games for violent content (like Germany does) surely this "service" must add to the cost somewhere?

EDIT: Though nowhere near these amounts

Games have to pass a rating system, sure, however they're the same price to do so as in other countries that have the same system. Including america.

It's publishers being hurr durr

No, dear god, no! It's for the bench, viewing PDFs, calculations, and so forth.

And, Floppy, you deserved that. There's no way in hell I'd put any amount of money into a pre-built desktop PC for my own use.

After trying to have my old CRT repaired, I had to finally admit defeat and get a new one:

https://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r15/slarty_photos/tele.jpg

Hopefully the picture is ok...

It's a Samsung, UE40C6000. With hindsight, I should have gone for a 37", 40" is a little too large but in my defense, it didn't look that bloody big in the shop!!!

Picture quality is great, sound is pants (not too much of an issue though, it's hooked up to my stereo if I want better sound) so overall, 8/10 so far.
