Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

The PS3 is sold at/below actual cost, whereas when it comes to Apple products you pay for the "glamour" factor :lol: Sif..

That doesn't even come close to reflecting reality.

Do you mean it's an understatement, or overstatement? Clarification would be nice.

I mean that the apple side of the equation isn't even close to being correct.

Put it this way, we kitted 2 entire studios out with top of the range mac pros with 2 graphics cards each in them with 2 24inch screens and 1 19" touch screen (on both systems) coupled with 2 Pro Tools HD 192 systems with 2 C24 mixing desks and 2 argossi desks/enclosures for little over £20,000 where I work. I should know, I spec'd it. Considering that mac prices in dollars pretty much convert to pounds £7,000 for what is quoted is complete bollocks.

I think the PC is a bit under priced in that comparison too. Probably not too much though.

That's interesting.

Did you get a discount for buying them in bulk? If you're not privy to say that's OK, I'm just curious. I probably shouldn't have posted the pic to begin with, since I don't recall the source. ^_^;

Porn must have sucked back then. I have to wonder how great porn will be in the future.

Back then it was all about finding your old mans stash.
