We get free over-the-air HDTV (~35 channels including Fox Sports) where I live so we don't have to worry about paying for expensive cable or watching internet tv.
It is a double-edged sword. I have young family members in Cambodia (I was born in the US) and some of them worked in sweat shops in Cambodia. In SE Asia, child prostitution and human trafficking (black market) is rampant and I see sweat shops as hope. If you're a 12 year old starving and can't find a job, some may resort to prostitution to survive (telling themselves it will just be a temporary gig). If jobs are readily available, they will choose that over prostitution. One of them who started out doing really laboring work is now some sort of plant manager and she gets to travel all throughout SE Asia (Singapore, Thailand, etc.) and she seems to be happy.
No plans to upgrade tv or entertainment set as I'm really happy with them - currently a 39" LED-LCD HDTV, Yamaha receiver with Bose speakers, and a Z-Line tv stand. I do however, like to re-arrange the room when I get a new expensive electronic hardware just to change things and freshen things up a bit.
The dude had everything and is at the top then gets betrayed or screwed by another character so he ends up having to re-start his way back up the ladder....*cough, cough* - Need For Speed franchise.
Surprised they're going on to release the Z30. I've yet to this day, to see anyone using the Z10 (or Z20....whatever it is) which is quite shocking considering that everywhere I go, everyone always seem to be using a smartphone in some way or fashion. I would've expected to atleast seen it once by now.
Coke all the way. The sweet taste of a freshly opened can of Coke is so unique (that hint of vanilla or whatever that is). Pepsi just tastes like any ordinary cola and goes flat after 15 minutes of can being opened. Oh yeah, Coca Cola helped me paved my way through college when they gave me a $12,000 scholarship.
No. If I remember correctly, I picked up my Dreamcast on clearance for 1/2 off at Target ~2 years after the Dreamcast launched. That is a huge flop in the gaming industry. The PS2 was out ages ago and I've never seen a PS2 on clearance - in fact, you could still pick up a PS2 at Wal-Mart to this day. The Dreamcast's removeable game thing that goes into the controller was also gimmicky at best. I admit there were 4 or 5 games on the Dreamcast that were simply amazing - Shenmue, Crazy Taxi, Sonic, etc. But you could get all of those games on the Xbox as well after the Dreamcast died.
Games for sure. Made the mistake back in the day by purchasing the Gamecube over PS2 because the Gamecube was more powerful. Well....none of the games on Gamecube were my taste and it colllected dust its entire life after I picked up a PS2. For me, I picked up the Xbox360 over PS3 years ago and have never regretted it - Forza and Halo series is all I need to make me happy.
