well yer as do most but u cant hide it behing ur tv can you?

them specs are fine for 1080p playback and its uses 65wats thats nothing i think a ps3 uses more?

 

[Ya93sin]

I got the first gen PS3, uses up to 380W.

I think they are OK for what they offer, but I'd rather just hook up a laptop via HDMI, again power consumption is low, and its so simple to set up

I feel bit bad about buying directly from company that employs anti suicide nets to stop there employees from jumping due to poor work condition's.

I know mate, I was joking

But at the end of the day they are saving their lives, it may be exploitation or what ever you want to call it but at the end of the day if they didn't have those nets up at lot more people would be dead. They have no other way of supporting their selfs without working under those conditions and the companies do exploit that, if you ask me Foxon at the least is trying to prevent them from committing suicide and i'm sure it's not just for exploitation reasons.

Anyway that's another topic for another thread but that's all i have to say on it, a good thing or a bad thing it's still saving lives.

I am aware of this and i'm not going to arguing about it, if you think it's wrong to put nets up to stop people killing their selfs that's your opinion /discussion.

The simple fact that they need the nets is the bigger problem sure the nets server there purpose but rather they had better working conditions so people would feel the need to commit suicide.

@murphy7801 I trust you don't own any Apple, nokia, sony, Dell, hewlett-packard, nintendo, amazon and Cisco products (to name just a few) then.

It annoys me because although i accept it is very bad the stats are often taken out of perspective by the media.
