HATERD IN PICTURE FORM


So tempted 




Look at the bastard not shutting down or doing anything at all, for the last 7 hours!

HATE

             RIGHT NOW I AM REALLY ANGRY AND SHOUTING IN MY BRAIN.



Ok so I now have just another bloody chapter in my saga of buying a mp3 player, which for most people would be a pretty easy thing to do, easy for everyone APART from me.!!! Let me explain,

Right so on last Friday (4th) I went into town with the idea of looking to buy a player. So in I go into the first store which was JB HI FI and went straight to the mp3 player section where I saw the generic stock of Ipods which ive never really wanted, some other microscopic players which are just stupid and some decent players mainly the Iriver e100 and the Creative Zen.

However at the this time I was pretty certain I was going to get the E100 4 gig model, so I ask Mr JB HI FI man to see if I could have a look at the 4 gig one and he said, after searching ONE cabinet for 20 MINUTES, he returned to me and said in a heavy Australian bloke accent "Naaaah sorry mate , looks like we don't have any mate, sorry about that mate"," We only have the 2 and 8 gig models at the moment cobber" , to this my reply was just simply Ok fair enough, with a slight frown.  

I went home to cry.



On Sunday I decided to ring the store to see if I could put on hold one of the 8 gig models , however the evil little bastards at JB HI FI decided otherwise, I spoke to 3 people in the one call, one told me that she didn't have any in stock at the current moment in time, but she gave me to someone else after I told her what I was told on Friday. The second person I spoke to said to me that he only had to 2 gig models in stock, which to that reply I also said that I was told that both the 2 & 8 gig models were still available on Friday, so he handed me yet other guy who was the Big Boss of the Electronic dep and he said finally that there were actually none of any of the models and that they haven't had any in of any model for roughly 2 weeks.!! So I 4 people all gave me totally wrong info, as if none of them would actually check with the Boss! So anyway, the Boss told me that a shipment of all the models should be in Wednesday so I should come in then. I said thanks and hung up

I went to my room and cried.

So Wednesday comes and I'm happy that I might be able to buy a gosh darn player!!!

BUT once again I get there and the original guy who served on the 4th helped me once again , by spend another 10 minutes searching a empty cabinet and to my shock he told me that there were still none. He also said, again that there should be more in soon. So once again I said ok.

I went to Donut King and got a Chocolate Thickshake to try and hide my tears.

Yet there was still hope left in the day! Jethro suggested that I just ask to buy the demo model. So I did and I got a whole 10$. At first I turned down the 3 year warranty, which was stupid because 10 minutes after I bought it i realized that I should have taken it , what can I say I'm not very smart. So I go back and get the warranty. Happy as can be I went home.

TO DISCOVER REAL HORROR!

After a few minutes charging I went up to an old mates place to make use of his cd drive (my dvd drive is waiting to be replaced atm , old story)....But I slowly realize just how slow his computer is and spent maybe two hours just waiting for about 5 tracks to copy to the computer and install iriver+3 which required a reboot which took about 5 mins shutting down and booting back up!!!Up grading the firmware took most of the 2 hours time..Bad bad times. I didn't get a single song on there either :(

So I get home and I download the iriver+3 software which all worked fine until.....after several hours of working without any problems whatsoever It decides that when I try to turn it back on AND AND AND WHAT DOES IT DO..........................

GETS TO THE LOADING LOGO AND DOESNT DO ANYTHING AT ALL IT WON"T EVEN TURN OFF!!!!!!!!!!!. ......It just hangs there doing nothing at all. Even after several hits of the reset button and holding in every single combination of buttons. Its been like this for since about 6pm , (Time of writing this ,12:24 am) Odin only knows how long the battery life has left in it! my guess a few days!!

Well then tomorrow I'm storming into JB HI FI with my warranty and will kindly ask for a brand new one. May Thor have mercy on them if I have to wait more than a week or two at max for it , because apparently there is still that new shipment on its way.

My new MP3 Player OMG OMG OMG

Well its time I did a selfish little bloody diary post (acording to Dimmie).
I am currently searching around for a mp3 player beacuase I want to listen to music on the bus, and so far I have decided I will getting a Iriver E100 (http://www.iriver.com/product/p_detail.asp?pidx=87) or a Creative Zen (http://www.creative.com/products/mp3/zen/) both models come in the 8gig size.

Because I don't save that much and am still trying to save for the upcoming Judas Priest concert I can only really spend 150-200$ so I wont be getting anything amazing but I don't really want or need a mp3 from space. As long as it has a nice screen and can hold a fair chunk of stuff I don't care. This said once I get one I will be probably using the video and photo things they have just because I can. This also means that I can watch Harvey Birdman wherever I go.


Both models have pretty much the same specs so I'm not really missing out on anything if I choose the Iriver or the Zen.

Blizzard lend me some money.

I think that with the titles that Blizzard will be releasing in the next  year or so that they are bloody more than rich enough to  lend me some moneeeh. 5 million would be grand.

Think how many millions of people will be buying the next WoW exp pack (me included) Meltor is a fire mage that melts things!

Starcraft 2 continues to give millions of Koreans erections everytime a new screencap is released and will no doubt breed a new generation of teenage boys that never had a childhood

Diablo 3 will just rape life . It should  anyway if Blizzard do not want a army of pissed off nerds on a bloody rampage coming down to their offices wanting there money back for completely destroying the greatness that was D2.

Bye
