I haven't played a console since the Dreamcast,But I hate them all (especially the '360) for brining out good games only on those consoles (the latest GTA for example). They may eventually find their way onto the PC, but I would've thought they had figured out that porting to the PC initially would make them a whole lot more money.
Anyway, a TJ:
I am thinking of going to Sky, because I'm fed up with NTL's shite service. Does anyone have an honest opinion on Sky? Are they as bad as NTL with customer support? What's the broadband like?

branson or murdochso you've got a choice of lining either branson's or murdoch's pockets. Nice
I think I'd have to stick with richard "thatcher's poster boy" branson rather than give australian fucktard murdoch a penny of my cash.

Sky pisses all over NTLbut they're still a bunch of c***s that charge more than they should.

All that Sky+ and Sky HD is over priced bollocks, I agree.But the basic Sky box, and 6 channel packs (all but music and news) seems and ok price at £18 (£9 for first 3 months).

hmmm, should be able to go cheaper than thatwe took out the £7.50 package for the first 3 months, then £15 a month after that,
free installation bollocks and stuff,
not bad considering we can't get freeview

No arial reception in his area I expectAnd the basic package is £7.50, which is 2 channel packages, but the one I want is 4 packages, because all of the channels I watch now are spread between those 4.

full freeview coverage covers a rather small proportion of the UK.and no good if you're stuck in a welsh valley facing the arse end of the moon.

A: GTA4 will be out on the PC. Just after it comes out on the 360 and PS3 firstand
B: Sky are alright but they cunt you over on the following:
- Your sky box must be plugged into the phone line at all times. Unplug it in the first 12 months and they get seriously arsey about it.
- Their broadband covers less area than NTL's cable does.
- It's free, and customer service-wise you get what you pay for.
- You still have to pay BT line rental.
- By giving you a 'free' sky box and equipment they can charge you for call outs and the like, whereas NTL rent you the cable box as part of your fee.
I'm not anti-sky, I have sky plus and another box in my room, but if either fuck up I'll have to leave as I can't afford to replace them.

Yes, I have heard that Sky charge you a callout fee, whereas I know NTL do it free.NTL replaced my box 2 days ago because it kept freezing randomly (the picture was fine but the box and remote wouldn't work). This new one not only has the same problem, but is also emitting a nasty buzz which I can only put down to a wiring problem. Their answer? "Leave it a few days and it might fix itself". Well, that or I'll burn to death in an electrical fire...
