iPhone/iPod Touch - Now Cheaper, Refurbished-er

TPG Reports, "If you're like most of us here at TPG, you've been blowing all your expendable income on crystal meth and Pokemon cards since the economic downturn. And after you wrote those off on your 2008 tax return as medical and business investment expenses, respectively, you're left with a few extra benjamins in your trembling hands.

What better way to stave off those detox tremors than to get in on some App store gaming on the cheap?"

Great news for those of you who maybe have yet to step into the world of Apple..

roblef6271d ago

They damn well better not obsolete my iPhone soon. Grr.

They're selling refurbished units cheaper. Thats all and they'll go quick.

Really, if you were buying an iphone, you should have done some research first and you would have found instantly that Apple release new upgraded products each year, usually lowering the price or adding more value to the same price.
So you cant complain if you didnt look into it properly (especially something that expensive !)

I was going to buy an iphone a month ago and did the research and found that it has been almost a year since the 3G was announced and they are on the verge of releasing the much anticipated "2009" model, so im going to wait until July to get mine.

The only other thing i want on the iphone is longer battery life, i really dont need a 5mp on my phone, if you want to go on holiday or something i really doubt you want to use your phone when you can get a camera for a fraction of the price that takes double the quality pics !! Usually phone-cams are really **** in comparison (except for a couple) and are meant to be used to send pics to ur m8s etc.

Of course this happens less than a month after I get mine... go figure.

roblef6271d ago

Oh, and cheaper IS better. but this isn't THAT cheaper. that MUCH cheaper. whatevs.

CrAppleton6271d ago

CrAppleton6271d ago

CrAppleton6271d ago

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

How is that unsportsmanlike conduct? What a stupid decision lol

gold_drake76d ago

lol wut.

since when is bumping fists "unsportsmanlike".

Inverno76d ago

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

SethNW76d ago

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
