"OS 6 gives you more features to make the things you do every day even better."

Make and receive calls, send and receive texts, send and receive emails and occasionally use the internet? Oh goodie :?

Oh, and it's spending a fecking long time doing it too!

Yeah that's what I meant by it doesn't support 1080 files. That's why I'm put off by it but i don't really want to be spending £100.
it [the low end roku] *might* play them back downscaled, idk.

the "wd live streaming" can be gotten for 67 pound from amazon currently. the current version is generation 3. supposedly has a good mod/hack scene for extra features.

Point them out. They're deserving of the utmost ridicule :twisted:

What do they do? Come out of the shop and ring someone up to say "Hey, I'm only talking to you from my new Iphone 5"? :roll:

D'you know what I can get on board with people wanting the new iPhone if that what floats their boat. They work all week and can treat themselves and spend their hard earned on anything they like.

But all this queueing up at midnight bollocks is pure pointless stupidity and I'd never tire of slapping those who do.

Is it cos they are worried they might run out of stock?

Or are they "pre-orders" only?
