Time to bring back this thread.

Simple concept; post a list of all the stuff you picked up in December; preferably with pictures. Whether delivered, picked up, given or stolen; this is the place to brag.

As it's a December thread I'm assuming there'll be more this month than usual. :) Looking forward to seeing how many DVDs/Blurays you guys get. I remember the old ones used to be packed and I was constantly amazed at how many you purchased... esp as I'm such a downloader :)

I'm fairly sure I bought between 55-60 movies in March though so it's still not my P.B month for BR's
On the download subject though.... I download when new buy when in the bargain bin, gotta give something back ;)

Don't be a smart arse. Sorry shoulda explained myself better. Alphabetical order, in the photo.

Ahhh, that makes more sense. Lol. I wondered what you were going on about wiuth the alphabetical comment :)

I'm with you on the downloads. I download all my TV and movies... well.. most of them. Then, if I like it, I buy it. Kinda supports my argument that we need a network capable of streaming TV here. If we could have a service like Hulu here where you pay a monthly fee and stream TV... well I reckon piracy would drop a LOT! Hell they could have a leasing service where you are able to download and play content while your subscription is active. Not the same as streaming but it would allow those of us on ADSL1 to view stuff.

Side rant... why on Earth do people pay for Foxtel? There's a monthly fee plus a package fee (you can't even choose individual channels, you need to buy them in packs), then there's an extra charge if you want it in HD, then there's another charge if you want to record/playback content.... it's a fucking rip!!

I seriously think we need to get to a point of legal TV/movie downloads in Aus. Force Foxtel to price/package reasonably and give consumers a proper visual distribution service instead of this archaic crap we have now!

Holy shit. Yeah, better add a Nissan 370z to my list. Took it in to Nissan this morning and had to park it beside a GT-R though. Very sad. Luckily a Rio came and parked beside me so that made me feel better. Then a smoking hot chick got out of the car and I felt bad again :)

House will be a January pickup as we get it in 10 days. Ooh boy I can't wait! Already booked my NBN hookup and have an electrician going thru and cat6ing the place up. Oh yeah... I got this in December too

That's gonna be the new house for my NAS, WAP and the stuff seen in the pic (power rail, cable organiser, 24 port patch panel and 24 port gig unmanaged switch). Never purchased RAdum products before but they were about half the price of APC and had all the features I wanted (hinged back, fans in top, removable walls, etc.)

I'll be getting rid of Foxtel when we get back. There's simply no point in having it. Add the fact that they recently called me to offer an upgrade to Foxtel HD - even though we've been members for six years now (jesus christ that's long) - at half the regular price for Foxtel HD. They should be saying, you've been a loyal member with no complaints for ages, why not just have an upgrade on us? Add the fact we have the full package. Fuckers.

Bought a Roku box yesterday so I'll be using that when I get home and fucking Foxtel off. Netflix + Hulu + Unblock US = $30 a month versus Foxtel Complete Package = $125. Yeah, get fucked.

... offering you a HD upgrade... seriously! HD should be the fucking standard for the service not an upgrade!!!

But back when we started using Foxtel they didn't have the HD box then. Now the standard is the HD box with IQ. You don't have a choice - it's just the one box. Pretty pathetic really.

Bahahaha, paying for HD, really? That's fucking sad. Imagine if there was a little $0.99 button next to the 720p, 1080p etc options on youtube.
Fuck_Giver.exe has stopped working!
Does it matter how I write the truth?

Stop giving Google more ways to ruin youtube! But to be honest I can totally see that happening.
