Nah, they can't ban us for "debating". I suppose the media puts pressure on people to buy things, but that is the point of advertising yeah? To get people intrested. And yeah, I agree it is a ridiculous price, but it hardly makes it evil if people are willing to pay it and have a choice. I don't know anyone whos ready to break under all the pressure and just buy an iphone so all the cool people will stop making fun of him.
I suppose that most normal people arnt effected that heavily by the media and society, and it doesnt make the people who buy the "evil" it just means they had a momentary lapse in judgment, in my opinion. you may not share that opinion, but that is what makes the world go around. anyways, im off to bed, as iv just relised that is close to 1am, and im going to fall asleep on my key board.
edit : sweet my 555th post
double edit : i hope theres no hard feelings at all cataphrax as we were just debating and its all good, nice to meet you, welcome to Dcemu !
Eh, i'm not done with you yet!!!! But yeah, it's late and I'm tired. Nice to meet you too.
DS sure will. but Wii gonna sink. :DQuote:
Wii will rule the earth.
Yeah, i know our posts were long and full of unfamiliar words, but please, all this speculation on whats gonna win and whats not is ultimately pointless as your not gonna change anyones opinion and its likely no one will change yours.
Damn, I missed the debate train :D
I think that the Iphone is much too high for the general population, but think of what it will do for everyone. I mean, if they bring in a lot of great stuff into their product, soon everyone else will have to top them, and eventually price will drop untill it's like it's a normal phone. I do agree with Man on the fact that it seems a little crazy to start with a price that high with few cheaper alternatives, but hey, I bought my Ipod for 450 canadian (in total) and it was a 15 GB 3rd generation. I could have bought a way better one if I had waited, and for less money, but I still really liked it while it lasted, (3 years). So IMHO, yes the companies can be asses, but when the price goes down, that's when you should buy, and profits maximize:D
I will get one for free when I upgrade my contract here in the UK.
nice one dejkirkby!
They would have to pay me, because data plans are super expensive in canada
man i'm sick of americans and canadians moaning about prices. THINGS COST MORE THAN DOUBLE OVER HERE SO QUIT MOANING. only we are allowed to moan because of our MEGA INFLATED prices. i remember brooksyx (don't get me wrong i like the guy) saying "i'm not paying $80 for a game, that is too much". it was guitar hero 2 for 360, which is £70 here, and £70 converts to $140! NORMAL games here work out at $80! the iphone will simply have the us$ sign changed to a gb£ one, so we will pay DOUBLE.
