So off topic we forgot what we originally were talking about

Uh...

I'm not saying that the ps2 is bad.
I'm only saying that it's outdated technicaly.

It has half the capabilities of the xbox and gamecube.


We should not compare the ps2 to the xbox/gamecube.
That's reserved for the ps3.

[Floyd]

Ps2 all the way.... until the thing falls apart anyways
Gamecubes are fun, i could spend hours playing smash bros
also Xboxes are fun and you dont get much better than Halo

*shrugs* meh.... Fight it out

Wait... you guys have to have a liscence (or how ever its spelled) For your tvs? Wow... glad I live in the US of A.

[SekoETC]

TV licence, where? Anyway in my country people gotta pay to keep watching but in exchange for that, there are two channels with no commercials at all.

[Floyd]

It's very similar in britain, i dont actually pay for a tv license myself so i cant really eleborate, but it sounds like the UK and Finland have a very similar system.

Just out of interest, do you have to have a TV license to own a TV or to watch television? if that makes any sense...

Yup, same deal here, the mighty BBC is paid for by the TV licence, which is only really for two channels, which have no adverts, although they now have what seems like a dozen digital only channels. But the actual licence is a real piece of paper which comes though the post.

(EDIT: Okay Mr Floyd beat me to it. and to answer his question, if you own a TV you pay a licence, unless you can prove it doesn't pick up any BBC channels, which is practically impossible short of introducing a sledgehammer to it. )

I love the Beeb

[Surly]

Every house needs to have a TV license if any TV in that house has an aeriel capable of picking up... well anything. The point is, if you have a TV with no aeriel (ie. just for your console and watching DVDs) you don't have to pay. And as I said, just one license per house... so you can have multiple TVs without paying multiple fees.

[Yo_Yo]

Thats still harsh... Here we have it so you use the antenna... but those channels suck.

[Razorlance]

Their okay, just wish they would spend less of OUR money make soaps, and hiring anybody who's just happens to be in the limelight, regardless of talent to front inane and, because of thus star's wage, cheap crap. I think the new Doctor Who is the only decent non factual program I've watched in about the last two years on the Beeb.

End rant.

Yeh the BBC are no good any more. They even moved the National to BBC two because of some boring old wedding, don't know who it was like.

[Floyd]

seeing as how this thread has allready gone mega off topic, was anyone else suprised at how easy Prince Charles's wedding went down on saturday? it wasn't a very popular event down here in essex, not that anyone actually cares what the Royals do now anyways.

Still, a protest would have been fun

[Cookie]

The only people the royals mean anything to anymore is foreigners. Evident by the ammount of Princess Di documentarys which get churned out in America. Apart from the odd royalist of course.

[rklenseth]

Hmmmm.....we get the BBC free here in America through Public Access which is somewhat paid by the government which comes through our taxes but Public Access is mostly paid by donations to the stations.

Once thing I recently found out though is that Public Access cannot be regulated by the FCC.

[Floyd]

Anyone ever met a royalist?

*grins* what we need is another Civil war
