Sony can suck my baaaawwwllllssss

Do NOT buy these piece of sh*t wireless headphones from Sony.

Closest image I can find on their website:


You'd think for $110+ dollars they would work when you're sitting 14 f*cking inches away from the transmitter. No, it fades in and out, crackles, pops, picks up distortion when the transmitter is off (the noise/distortion is added to the music when it's on), I could go on and on.

Sony's worthless "read the customer solutions out of the instruction manual like they haven't f*cking tried them all already" phone support is also useless to the world. Their solution is to return the product...ok, I can do that. Hopefully I can get my money back, and I'll go for the 140 dollar BOSE wireless headphones...

If Best Buy was open right now, I'd probably get arrested for beating down one of their customer-service-geek-squad-cunts for selling me this shite. I'm not in a good mood right now as I'm currently tethered to my desk via my old headphones that are too short, and cannot respond to any type of bass...ugh.

But yea, I'll have a Gang War related update tomorrow.

Also...I'm about half way through this 54 page thread about the Hack.net / "Ninebows" puzzle...some of you might remember it...I found it because it's one of the longest threads ever posted here on GameDev.net

OMG I HEART GAMEDEV BECAUSE OF THIS THREAD

I must say it's a good read, and a damn fine testament to the brilliant minds here at Gamedev :-) Way to represent guys...I can say that I'm truly proud to host my blog here [grin].

The people at best-buy do suck. I bought my very first computer from them and told the guy I was planning on doing 3D programming on it and he pointed me to an e-Machine which are 99% integrated graphics with no AGP slots [rolleyes].

Ahhh e-Machine FTW!

My brother has one of them, his lucky e-Machine has an integrated card with no AGP slot as well....no PCI-Express either. He's obsessed with that "Company of Heroes" game so trying to get the game to run on that computer is an exercise in futility. The best PCI card I could find anywhere was a Geforce 6200 for $150 dollars it seems to work alright :-/

I really dislike BestBuy also, but their employees are not the main reason. Prices kill it for me. MOST of the time, I can find what i'm after cheaper online.

Why in the hell did you ask an employee at BestBuy about -anything-? Sure, I'm sure you could have scored and found one person that knew what they were talking about, but I wouldn't invest all of my money on that. I find my own information online, before I /ever/ go out to the store to buy something.

Reviews, reviews, reviews. Hunt down what other people think about what your after, before you buy.

I have a pair of them Sony do-watsits.. I know what you mean, if you turn up the source audio as high as you can, you can get rid of most of the static.. But yeah.. Time for a new pair.
