    a sobering touch of reality, the game cube is being released here in the uk for £129 next month, to undercut the already-floundering xbox. as a price comparison the apple store here sells the isub/soundsticks combo for £150.



    one is billed as an ultimate gaming machine, the other as a fantastic addition to your music and gaming experience ... you decide which is more apple's natural market



    anyone who can tell me apple will be releasing a competitively priced console ever is truly living in the wrong parallel universe. apple make and market well-designed niche products ... which we love, defend and pay extra for ...



    this is just so wrong for the cut-throat console market ... apple would release the fabled <a href="http://www.sleeplessknights.com/Pages/ibrator.html"; target="_blank">ibrator</a> before it tries to dive into the console market



    btw, yer man cannings is talking absolute sh!te. somebody tell him to grow up, stop fibbing, go out and get laid ...



    if you look at his profile he gives an email address of some catholic secondary school near wigan, and a website pointing to a mom & dad style game and video shop in a tiny mall in leigh.



    unless apple is going for stealth marketing and development par excellence it's highly unlikely this guy is over 16 and has even been to an authorised Apple reseller, never mind is working on some top secret console project. usb connection from a console to a mac? ferchrissakes, even apple's mp3 player uses a far faster connection than that ....



    as for talking to ea, eidos and other developers, B$ sonny ... quit spinning us a line like that.



    honestly ... <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />

    Oreet people again,



    Like i said i am workin with apple(my cousin works for em).



    First of all i might own a shop in leigh and i am doin research for both my shop and my cousin.



    But that is besides the point. well have you ever been to leigh mate! first of all the business is being re-developed.



    If you big american want to come to england and i am sure we will find i way to sort it out.



    AND IF YOUR SO CLEVER YOU WOULD OF REALISED THAT THE SHOP SITE IS 2 YEARS OUT OF DATE. HOW OLD ARE YOU THEN??? look in a few months and you will see a different web site which is in production and is been relaised on the internet very soon.



    your right i am only 17 and i do go to college in leigh.



    the reasonm i was asking is because i have to a presentation to one of my professors and i have to gather market research for him. thats why i didnt mind the criticism.



    But OY!! no u dont call my shop! that is over the line. so to everyone else i dont mind the citism. But if you want to take things over the line about our shop then bring it man! and i no your from manchester so you odviously no where leigh is.

    Aye right. I work with Durex (or Trojan if you're are American) on Saturday night with the missus if you interprate the term 'working' as broadly as you do.

    I don't believe you for a second. Unless your cousin is dyslexic and thinks an NDA is a complex double-helix encoded with our genetic fingerprints, not a severe threat to his career by telling his teenaged cousin supposedly secret industry secrets.

    You don't own a shop. Perhaps one of your relations (probably Mike) does. I have been to Leigh - to the Apple dealer based there. Your shop is definitely not that establishment. In fact as the website says "To put it simply, Cannings is a chain of shops with many differant items for sale. From a newsagents to a video shop. Cannings is right for you." I thinks it's fantastically unlikely that such a, um, broad range of business services offered will include R&D for Apple Computer Inc. And I don't think for a second that winning <a href="http://www.st-maryshigh.wigan.sch.uk/jan2002.htm"; target="_blank">The Mice and Greedy Investment Trust</a> means you are running a real business.

    No, I'm not a big american. I'm not even a big brit. As you note below, the handy details that are my profile location tells you I'm from your neck of the woods. That's why I was so driven to respond to your embarrassing post. You'll give Manchester a bad name on these boards Oh and I did look at the website ... it didn't tell me how old I was though ... not that I understand your meaning here ... but I guess that even if you do come up with a new site, you're not suddenly going to announce a direct link from apple.com/uk to you, are ya?

    Professors? Strange, we always called them teachers or tutors when we were at school ... sounds like you're trying to sound like a preppy US student, not a lad from the depths of Lancs. And you want to canvas opinion for a school project on an unsubstantiated rumour board populated by an unrepresentative cross-section of Mac users? Weird ....

    Anyway, you can do far more effective canvassing if you want to. Set up a Carracho server called Apple Game Console and solicit feedback from users in your news .... I guarantee you will have more responses very quickly ....

    I'd like to respond properly to this, but I'm sorry, you've lost me here .... whether it's the spelling (good luck with the GCSE re-sits) or the syntax (I hope your code structure isn't so bad) I just don't follow ya. In the meantime get out more: and if you're going to bullshit people here on the boards, don't be dumb enuff to leave personal details so we can rip your sorry tale to shreds



    PS You can private message me if you want to continue this fantastical storyline ... I will be glad to piss on your bonfire

    You know, there are some schools over your side of the pond where I'd gladly take an English 'tutor' over a N.American 'professor'. A friend of mine went to Oxford, she basically got taught one-on-one by her professor/tutor for the better part of two and a half years. Puts even the Ivy League to shame, it does.

    I DO OWN A BUSINESS AND MIKE IS MY FATHER. THE PHONE NUMBER IS ON THE PAGE SO PHONE UP ON A SUNDAY EHIHC IS WHEN I WORK AND YOU CAN SPEAK TO US TO PROVE I OWN THE SHOP.OUR SHOP HAS JUST RECENTLY BEEN SENT PERSONIALSED EMAILS BY INGRAM-MICRO(APPLE'S DISTIBUTOR) AND BY APPLE. OUR SHOP CAN GET ANY APPLE PRODUCT DELEIVERED TO YOUR DOOR BY THE FOLOWING MORNING IF ORDERED BEFORE 4 O'CLOCK.



    I AM SURE YOU DONT READ WHAT I WRITE BECAUSE I SAID MY RESEARCH IS FOR ME AND MY COUSIN BECAUSE HE WANTS TO NO CERTAIN THINGS ABOUT APPLE THAT HE DOESNT ALREADY NO. I SAID PROFESSOR BECAUSE I THOUGHT WHAT THE HELL AND WROTE IT! LIKE I SAID THE WEBSITE IS 2 YEARS OUT OF DATE SO GO BACK SOON AS IN A FEW MOTHS AND THEN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR SHOP IS PROPERLY.

    MIGHT BE EMBARRISING FOR SOME PEOPLE BUT I WROTE WHAT I THOUGHT AND YOU TRIED TO RIP ME AND FAIR ENOUGH YOU DID. I DONT NORMALLY GO ON THIS BECAUSE I AM NOT INTO APPLE, I JJUST HAVE TO GATHER RESEARCH FOR MY TEACHER. MANCHESTER ALREADY HAS A BAD NAME AND ITS CALLED MANCHESTER CITY. THE SITE IS BEING REDESIGNED LIKE I SAID. WE DONT HAVE A LINK TO THE APPLE SITE DUE TO ALL THIER PRODUCTS ARE ON THE WEBSITE AND A DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCTS WILL BE THERE. OUR NAME MIGHT BE ON THE APPLE WEBSITE BUT THAT IS NOT UP TO ME THAT IS UP TO MY DAD AND MY BRO.

    Can it Canning!



    You give every Englishman a bad name.



    Try to crowbar this into your cranium you semi-evolved simian: no one is impressed by your pathetic tales.



    Your command of the English language is so bad I want to fart in your general direction!

    NO NO NO!!!!! In order for Apple to make a competitive console, and be able to sell it to the average consumer, they would have to follow the XBox way...lose $100 or more on every one sold. M$ is able to sustain this, but it wouldn't be good for Apple.

    embarassing!



    And no, Apple will never release a gaming console. It's not needed and the profit margins do not exist.
