Speaking of fast food. You see the fast food ads from outside this country. Makes our restaurants look like crap. In Pizza Hut Japan you can get your crusts with Sausage and Mayo. HONEST TO GOD SAUSAGE AND MAYO!

The quality may be a little lower here but the prices here are so much cheaper it boggles my mind! Dominos costs $20 for a large in the UK! Though yeah, you have far less choice. Pizza hut is pretty cool here, the buffet in town was very impressive!

Also Happy Meal toys are BETTER in Japan. I swear to god when I saw an ad where they hand out Ape Escape, Chocobo, Parappa the Rapper toys also One Piece toys too jaws were dropped.

Japan = Paradise on Earth. --- PS3: WTF Sony?!Things wrong with it, off the top of my head: * Over-pricing. * Constant updates that take forever, and fix little - occasionally even bricking the system. * PlayStation Home. In general. * Having to install games for hours before playing them. * Lack of dedication to things like putting PS One classics on the PlayStation Store (I thought this was a great idea, but they rarely update them - and yes, I am aware that you can use other methods to get PS1 games onto your PSP). * Unnecessarily complex methods to edit account settings, payment, etc. * The platinum colour scheme for most other parts of the world. Check this out:  Which dunce over at the company thought this was a good idea? Who thought it looked remotely attractive? It's offensively ugly, and the yellow and black writing makes it look more like a WARNING sign than anyone else. Why do Sony want to warn people not to buy their games?? I loved the PS2, but Sony seem to have messed up quite considerably for the most part, with both the PS3 and the PSP. No wonder Square-Enix are now developing Final Fantasy games for the Xbox 360 as well. Why Sony, why?! Thoughts? |

I respect your opinion Jez but...
"Overpriced." Really you can't afford $500 AUD? After all it is the most advanced of the 3 home consoles of the current market. The console HAS a blu-ray built in and Sony DOES want to capitalize on that. But hey, it makes people happy.
"Updates." Xbox isn't guilty of this WHY? Last time I updated my Xbox is so they could install Facebook/Twitter which i felt was pointless. Anyway, would you rather games flawed on disc rather than patched to avoid no major crap ups. Look at the Xbox 360 version of Need for Speed Shift. That thing had a flaw so major that it was trying to access the PLAYSTATION NETWORK for DLC. EA/Microsoft had the piss taken out of them for the longest time. Although I must agree it is annoying. I had to patch Marvel VS Capcom 2 at 200MB! To fix the online modes because too many wankers online kept picking Cable/Cable/Cable teams. One more thing RROD.
"PS Home". Agree it's pointless IMHO. Then again so is the Microsoft Avatars.
"Install Games". Would you rather wait one brief period of time to install data or wait forever for games to load? Install Data cuts load times by a two-thirds so this IS a good thing.
"PSOne Classics on PSN" Do you HAVE a PS3? They just released MGS1 on the PSN this week. Not to mention other favourites like FFVII, Crash Bandicoot 3, Ridge Racer and the list goes on. Did you expect them to have ALL titles released, they probably didn't have the servers to do so. So they put titles on their PSN slowly for growth. You also need to consider that Sony doesn't entirely have FULL ownership of the PSOne games, the developers have to give them permission to allow Sony to upload the games first. IMO it's not a big deal.
"Account" - What is so obscure about it? They do have the same credit system as XBL does with the MS Points. Kinda works like the iTunes card system where you pay an amount for a card, you give the code and that amount of money is on your account.
"Platinum" Don't like it? Either buy pre-used or buy early long before they go platinum. Your choice, it doesn't bother me one bit.
So dude, I dunno what to say. I do understand some of your points, but I think you need a bit more education on the subject.

Try countering this rant in return my friend. I've been keeping this one in for sometime due to the exams.
You know what pisses me off at the moment? Free clothes you get when you get limited edition DVDs, Video Games etc. I like free stuff, especially when it comes to swag representing some of the things you like. But what annoys me is when some of that swag is something like a T-Shirt or a Hoodie and it's not in your size. I just got my copy of Tekken 6 Limited Edition and it has a hoodie, a decent one too. But it's too freakin' small, I wear an XL and they hand out L sized hoodies. If I know the typical gamer...and I do, I would guess the average gamer would be XXL. Most of those gamers who went out of their way to get the game so they can also grab the hoodie must of been very disappointed. What really annoys me is that there is a smarter way for this. Instead of giving them a hoodie, the company should send them a free voucher offering them various sizes of the hoodie and it can be mailed out so they can receive one in their size. Sure, you would have to wait sometime to get it, but at least you can wear it without for it to be sitting in your wardrobe!

OMG! I really do agree with you! That irritates me to no end as well. Though I'm a small/medium size so I'm forced to wear those larger clothing sizes.
I support your idea of the coupon proposition. Smart thinking! =)
Hmm... we finally agreed on disagreeing. This is getting interesting...

I really do agree with you! That irritates me to no end as well. Though I'm a small/medium size so I'm forced to wear those larger clothing sizes. I support your idea of the coupon proposition. Smart thinking! =) Hmm... we finally agreed on disagreeing. This is getting interesting... ugh i agree, except mines an iffy, it also depends on the maker, there are like 100000000000000 different types of larges (not really that much but u get the point) some of my general sizes ( L, XL) some fit me and some scare me, making me think i've grown, well either that or they had tiny people making it XD |
