OCZ Technology Unveils First Fatal1ty Brand Memory
- Thread starter PV5150
- Start date
Hahaha... great way to start the day!
with a LMFAO!PP's point is fair enough, but when they start slapping little Fagtal1ty stickers on things without making them even a single bit more "optimised" and then charging a pretty price increase I dont buy it. Its like gaming mice, one of my friends bought a £50 mouse to replace his £30 logitec one, and he seems to be deluded into thinking it makes him play better because it cost more.
Fagtal1ty products are a reasonable marketing strategy, if they were any different from the run of the mill part. For example, those EXACT heatspreaders are on the OCZ standard, platinum, sli, crossfire, fagtality etc. ram and the timings and price are all more or less the same. The enthusiast's used to buy bottom end cheap ass parts, and overclock them, the enthusiast now, is about 18 and buys maximus formula boards for £200 and a core2extreme for £1000, thats not what a pc enthusiast used to be. I remember the days when the magazines were full of unlocking athlon's etc. pencil mods, overclocking hints.
Fatal1ty branding is cashing in on the "enthusiast" market, simply by appealing to the slightly computer illeterate 18yearold gamer demographic. People who build and tweak their pcs will agree with me i reckon. I remember the days when i was 12 and i saved up and FINALLY got 1gb of ddr ram! I remember the days when i finally got a 9800pro as a hand-me-down from my dad, i remember the days when real enthusiasts went to scrapyards and BUILT their watercooling kits themselves.

K1ngpin cpu coolers ? That`d sell.
Yea those where the days and i was there too but its not 2002 anymore. And saying "fagtal1ty" just means that my point isnt "fair enough" as to you have to add fuel to the fire. Im pretty sure if we saw K1ngp1n branded stuff nobody would foul mouth him like people do Fatal1ty.
Edit: Rast you beat me to it

everyone would foulmouth "pro gamers" no matter who they are.
Its part of human psyche'. I certainly just see it as advertising. One of my friends broke his Fatal1ty headset because he had the arrogance to stand up during a lan party!
Quality is subjective. He had those headphones for 5 weeks, that was all.

Fair enough some of the Fata1ty products are actually pretty good, but seriously I very much doubt hardly anyone buys of it because of the name. It's not like he's actually even an amazing gamer - there are people out there that have won far more competitions than him.

n00bs won't know who the hell fatal1ty is, enthusiasts don't care. Products should be able to sell on their own merit tbh
